Asked by NightRider January 21, 20215
AnswersAs per my use of these inverators generators , I believe you are asking for to much out over this small 40 cc. engine. They have overload protection that will shut down.You are at that limit.Try the next size up 1500 watts.
1. Is this a TRUE sine-wave inverter, and what is the verified THD? Should be less that 5% THD....
Asked by SailRN December 4, 20202
AnswersJust got mine after the first of the year. The power is totally clean and consistent due to the extra inverter, after the motor/generator. My unit is new and I have run for six hours. I changed my oil after the first hour, and again after 4 hours more. During this break in, I had absolutely no problems starting (first or second pull), nor were there any issues with smoking. I am thrilled with my unit so far! Remember, these are "clone" engines - and you need to be a little tender to them during break-in. If someone is having a smoking problem - they probably mistreated their unit during break-in period - and didn't allow the piston rings to set correctly...
Does this have enough power to run a pop up camper?
Asked by WoodWorker November 11, 20203
AnswersShort answer yes. Long answer it depends on what you want to run; for example you can't run a Air Conditioner and a Microwave at the same time. I own a Hybrid Camp trailer and for me it work's great.
Is the Sportsman 2,200/1,800 watt Dual Fuel Inverters output PURE SINE wave?
Asked by SkyKing October 12, 20202
AnswersThe Manual states the following: "Sine Wave Clean Power For Electronics"
Are the 120V outlets 15amp or 20amp rated?
Asked by BlakeK September 25, 20203
Answers15amp =1800watt/120volts. 18.333amp=2200watt peak surge/120volts
where is the oil drain plug found? Location is not listed in the manual.
Asked by Santa September 15, 20203
AnswersOil is drained in the same place you put the oil in .
Is the output PURE Sine wave or MODIFIED Sine wave?
Asked by SkyKing September 13, 20202
AnswersIt’s proposes to be Pure Sine Wave. That’s why they call it an Inverter generator. It outputs Cleaner Sine Wave not modified
Does the Sportsman 2,200/1,800 have a manual fuel shut off valve?
Asked by Michael September 9, 20202
AnswersYes, but it's only for gasoline, there is no shutoff for propane.
where can i buy SAE 10-Watt-30 oil ??
Asked by T2020 September 9, 20203
AnswersYou can’t, but you can purchase SAE 10 / 30 weight oil anywhere! Home Depot, auto supply stores, maybe a gas station???

New out of the box, smell of gas and oil in engine
Please advise?
Greatly anticipating the receipt of my "new" Sportsman 1000i, upon carefully opening the box it smelled of gasoline. Further investigation revealed oil in the engine? Nothing looked unusual before opening the box. The unit was sold to me by Home Depot as a new unit and it appears that I was sent a reconditioned or used unit?
I will not fill with fuel or oil and hope that I can get a refund or an NEW unit to fulfill the need I have for my purchase? If I will receive a unit in the same "used" condition, please let me know so I can get a refund.
Please advise, obviously I am a bit concerned.
Thank you for a prompt response, I need to decide what I should do?

Very Disappointed
Like others...I had high hopes. I have big generators and only wanted this small one for small occasional task. It was very light and very quite running. Very impressed at first. I purchased about 18 months ago and only used it once or twice for a few minutes. So yesterday, I needed to charge my boat battery, so pulled it out, cranked up just fine and ran about 15 minutes. Walked back to check on things and it was not running. Checked gas and oil and all is perfect. Tried to pull the rope and its tighter then Dicks hat band. Engine appears to be totally locked up. Might have been my second tank of gas if that. And of course just out of warranty. I guess it will make a great boat anchor now! So beware, and have a backup plan....you are next!
I wish the company had a way to verify how little time I have on this generator ( I still have the box and all) and would offer to assist.

False Advertising
According to the instructions, and all the stickers in the generator, the generator has a surge of 1000 watts and 800 watts continuous. I tried using a small 500-watt space heater during the first snowstorm in El Paso. The generator was not capable of doing such a thing. The space heater has a surge of 800 watts and uses 500 watts continuous, way below what the generator should be able of. Also, the generator is producing white smoke through the exhaust. I emailed the warranty, almost a week ago from the post of this review, with no answer. I will try calling in tomorrow.

Excellent small and quite generator that puts out the power. I added oil and gas, pulled the cord 3 times and it fired right up ! Built well and I really like the features it offers. All this at a great price !
I shopped other brands and the Sportsman won out. Very happy with my purchase.

My wife said to order this for my Father’s day gift so I did. Ordered June 14th received in Hawaii on June 22nd. Bought the oil which it didn’t come with, and got the propane. Started up fine until I found out that the USB port and the 12v battery port wasn’t working right. I was thinking since I had a load on the AC port with a light connected, that the DC ports will not work, so I shut it down checked the DC Protector button to see if it was in a off position, and started it up again, it was a no go on both ports. Checked the 12v battery charging port with a multimeter and it measured an output of 1.6 DC volts(this might kill battery instead), the USB port had zero power, even with different cables. I went to their online support website and guess what, the websites down. After wasting time for money on oil and propane, plus going through the break in process, I was debating if I should returned it. June 24th the next morning, I took one more last shot of looking at, opened the oil drain side panel(which I should not be dong in the first place) to find a connector disconnected right below a QC Passed Sticker! *See Picture* After putting everything back together checked the ports again and success! DC ports work!
Maybe that's why Honda is expensive you pay for better quality control.

Seems to be decent quality but died after about 15 minutes. You have to remove the side cover that is screwed in just to check the oil. It started surging then pouring smoke out of the exhaust. I used good oil and fresh non ethanol fuel. Guess you get what you pay for.

Really wanted to love this little generator. Liked the size and weight and seemed to fill a need nicely. Although, after initial One hour run time, first oil change and two hours later it would not stay running. Engine oil turned extremely dark with lots of metal shavings after initial change. The engine appeared to be seizing after one hour under part load @ 200 watts. Even used the recommended NGK spark plug...
Took the shot in spite of some of the negative reviews. The little generator that couldn’t!
Turns out to be true in my case.
Cheap Chinese junk!
Fortunately Home Depot has an awesome return policy.

Solid built, good running generators...
I have had several different generators up to a 13,000 watt. The drawback was always heavy weight and high fuel consumption. I gradually got down to 2500/2200 watt that weighs 100 lbs. This is the first inverter type that I have owned. I can also carry them around one in each hand. I bought the pair of identical 2200/1800 watt generators for some flexibilty. I can one run or two, depending on actual need. In event of another major storm outage that lasts for days. I can run these two in parallel and also run my third generator if I need more power for a short time. I have load tested these both, as a pair and alone at about 80 percent capacity each time. They ran great and consume about 16-20 ounces of fuel in an hour. The manual calls for 20 hours of running before oil change. I disagree. I changed oil after one hour and again after two hours. Both times it was darker than I thought good for such a short run. After the third hour of running the oil looks clean. I will change it at 20 hours next time. I wanted portability, quiet, low fuel consumption, and dual-fuel. Three out of four is not bad. My 2500/2200 watt generator that weighs a cumbersome 100 lbs runs as quiet as one of these but that still is not bad. That is the only reason for not giving five stars. I have not tried the units on propane yet but, so far, I am quite satisfied. I look forward to years of using these generators for storm outages and boondocking.
