I have mine as well but haven't had the time to do anything but test start it. Fired up on the second pull as well, so I let it run for about 15 minutes to start the break in.
It is quiet. I had it sitting down in the open garage door of my Mothers house and I couldn't even hear it running at all while up in the house just a short distance from it

I keep my Ryobi in my basement hobby room over the winter in case our power goes out and I need to power a few things. I've never gotten even a whiff of gas smell from it. My hobby room is also right across from our family room so if it smelled my wife would be the first to notice because she smells stuff that's not even there sometimes and she's never said a word about it. |

There was no smell in the car, and now its in a storage closet after sitting in the living room floor of my house for a few days. There is no indication its here at all.

Sold my 2000watt (55lbs dry) to pick up this little generator. 2000watts was too annoying to lug around when I don't need all 2000 watts. I fly 12s and 1000w is probably fine.

Well, UPS man just brought mine...getting ready to test her out.
Surprised to find manual fuel shutoff (nice)...helps with smell and carb life. ==== ran her enough to charge a pair of 6s 3000's on my icharger 406 running off of two dell server supplies.... Did just what i wanted....166 bucks...im happy! Last edited by JGDeavers; 01-03-2017 at 07:52 PM.. Reason: Update |

I got mine a week or so ago, nothing to report except it works as it should and no smell at all when shut off. 800w load (small heater) doesn't seem to faze it.
It has a bowl-less carb which is nice. No chance of fuel spilling if it tips over with fuel shut off and gas cap shut.

What do you all think about this generator noise wise? Thinking about picking one up soon.

I have a 2k generator (Pulsar PG2000), and this Sportsman generator is noticeably louder than the Pulsar (only big con for me).
Everything else is great. If you get one, also be sure not to overfill the gas. I overfilled it and it wouldn't start. Drained a little gas and it started right up on the first pull!

Little follow-up...
Been running the snot outta this little guy! Doing just fine...burning no oil, and darn little fuel. I keep in kitchen with full tank when not using...no odor what so ever. Best $165 bucks I've spent in a long time. via LGv10 |

I just ordered one of these the other day. I was going to grab one when they were on sale for $179 but ordered heli parts instead. I had been watching them go on and off sale. HD had them for $249 and I missed that sale cause I was undecided. I ended up ordering it from Sams Club for $198.
How are these holding up? Its going to be so convenient field charging and not have to charge before I leave. |

Mine is running like a champ since I bought it at Christmas. I charge 2 X 5000 mAh 6S packs at a time at 2.5C with it still running in "economy" mode
Its stays in the back of my hatchback at all times, and I forget its there. No smell or leaks of any kind
