Customer Reviews

Total piece of junk
I know generators, this is the ultimate lemon.

Used the Briggs powered 900 watt troy-bilt for 4000 hours, ran great until it gradually failed from overall wear, after 4 normal lifetimes for these things.

Bought the powermate a year ago. The carburetor is totally sealed, so you can't pull it apart and clean and adjust it, nor compensate it for altitude. It runs with a moderate miss - and once it needs cleaning out, which it will as there's no fuel filter, it will instead need replaced at about $150

It has a thin plastic choke lever that will break if you don't treat it like it was made of glass - and will anyway, after a few dozen uses.

The on/off switch wires vibrated off after about 10 hours, so I couldn't shut it off other than to shut off the fuel and wait. Repaired three times by serviceman. I finally had to fix it myself, reroute and ty-wrap the wires to keep it from doing it again every 10 hours.

The gas cap is recessed, so rain gets piped into the fuel tank rather than running off the sides.

The fuel tank vent is a plastic plug pushed into the top of the tank. It spatters gas when the tank is full, and after about 50 hours it simply pops out. Result is that it showers gasoline all over the place, and you get the unenviable job of running up to a generator soaked with gas and shutting it off before it blows up and takes anything nearby with it.

Repair service poked a new plastic plug in the hole.

That's what's happened so far - the little noisebox gets on everyone's nerves, so it hasn't got more than 50 hours on it to date!

Update: at 60 hours the engine seized TIGHT. Thank God I can finally throw this thing into the trashbin.

Ah, for the days when Coleman was made in USA. . .

BUYERS BEWARE- Coleman Poweremate is bankrupt!
Coleman Powermate is bankrupt. Don't expect warranty service or perhaps any ability to get parts until that is sorted out or someone buys them out. Funny how all these online companies continue to sell these items without letting you know that!

Not built very well
While the the has run reasonably well the recoil starter has broken twice so far. The recoil starter is attached to the engine shroud with RIVETs! I haven't been able to find replacement parts or service manual on the web.

Coleman's web site no longer mentions generators, so much for support!

Next time I'll just go with Honda.

This price is about double what I paid for my Coleman at a Home Depot and I didn't have to pay shipping! You can find these much cheaper on eBay.

Also, my only experience with Grady's Ace Hardware has been very bad, I'll never do business with them again. I'm surprised that Amazon still carries them.
