I would suggest prepare your products in Excel/Calc and import them using CSV Import.
Using this method one my client filled eshop with 200 products and 10000 variants in one day.

Create demo site, add one product with variants, export it to CSV to see columns and data structure.
Delete columns you don't need.
Prepare template for variants. If all products have the same variants you can paste it under main product row, fill "parent_id" column with drag down function in Excel and customize price, product_id...etc.
Then save as csv, import it and verify the result.
