Restored Sportsman 3500W Dual Fuel Pull Cord Start Power Generator (Refurbished)

I bought this for several reasons, 1) it is not real heavy 2) it is quit a bit less noisy than a lawnmower 3) propane - no gummed up carburetor from old gas sitting in there for several months of no use. I bought 4 adjacent lots near a lake outside of town. One lot used to have a mobile home on it and the other three look like the previous owner(s) started prep. Each lot has about 10 stumps in the middle of the lots. I used the generator to power a drill. I drilled holes in 7 stumps today and put some stuff in them with water. It is supposed to break down the wood in about 6 months. I also used a 14 amp 17" Craftsman chain saw, a 10" pole saw, a 7" circular saw, and a Black/Decker 7.5 amp weed eater. All these tools worked excellent and the generator got a 5 star rating from me. It starts easily, lightweight, smallish, and not terribly loud. It comes with a DC plug and alligator clips so if your camping you can charge batteries during the day for use at night.

Purchased a new travel trailer last spring and needed a new generator to go with it. So far I have only ran it on gasoline rather than propane but I am more than happy. I can run both my AC and microwave at the same time although I only did it as a test. My 6 year old son can start the machine in two pulls even when it was only 22 degrees in the mountains. There is a burn in period I read about someplace for the generator. I actually ran mine for about 10 hours and changed the oil before putting it under load. This is not a quiet machine but I don't camp in campgrounds so it is not a problem for me. For the price, I do not think you will find a better machine. I purchased the 4 year plan just in case because even after $40.00 for the warranty it was still a better price than any of the competitors.
