Great!, but no cover.....?

Bought to take camping with our R.V.- it runs great, is powerful enough to run the air conditioner or the microwave, is extremely quiet, and light enough to be very portable! My only complaint is that it seems to have a slight sputter while running- even with no load on it. That being said, it hasn't posed a problem yet!

Great home generator!

I bought the iGen2500 03/2021 for when the power goes out and my sump pump is required to run. Delivery was quick, item was well packaged and undamaged. Quick set up out of the box, follow directions on adding oil, gas prime and start. Two pulls and fired up. Runs quieter than expected. I only used it once to run a circular saw and it handled the job with no problem.

Quiet But Hard to start

I bought it in March of 2022. The only issue is it will take 20 to 30 pulls to start! I only use ethenol-free fuel. Handel's load well, I am able to run a 13,000btu RV a/c unit with no issues. I did 3 oil changes for the break-in. each time the oil got cleaner. The button to page through the readout is cheap and sometimes hard to get to the readout you are looking for.

Compact, Powerful, Quiet

I just received my iGen2500. Shipping was fast and the set up was easy. Took me about 5 minutes from opening the box to have it up and running. I literally opened the box grabbed the quick guide. Unscrewed 2 screws added the included oil, checked oil leve, put panel and 2 screws back on, filled with fuel and turned on the choke and pulled the cord 3 times, and it started right up. I actually supprised it fired up so easily on the 3rd pull as I was just pulling easy to prime the carb and make sure everything felt smooth. It runs smooth and the light up screen is great to monitor the unit.

Perfect Solution

I researched inverter generators for months and always came back to the iGen2500 based on reviews and the power it offered. Set up was easy and it started on the second pull. I connected it to my travel trailer and tested the television, fans, and microwave. Everything worked. Then I turned everything off everything except one of two AC units at a time that are mounted on my roof. The 13500K unit started and ran easily and showed 75% usage on the IGen meter. I then tried the 15000K unit and it also started easily and ran well. The IGen meter showed about 100% usage so I doubt I could run anything else, but at least I can cool down the TT with the larger AC and then run the smaller unit to keep it cool, and also run the TV and fans. I suspect I would have to turn off the AC in order to use the microwave, but that’s not a problem. I am absolutely amazed and pleased that this little generator performs so well.

Hard little worker

Used this for the first time this week. Directions were straightforward. Added the oil and it fired right up. Ran it continuously for about 36 hours. Followed the directions to change the oil at 20 hours. Only problem was the LED Data Display did not automatically rotate. Hoping to receive my bonus generator cover soon for leaving a review. Bonus did not affect my review.

Ideal for camping

I looked at and reviewed several portable generators. The iGen2600 is unbelievably quiet and not too heavy to transport. I use this generator to run my fifth wheel trailer power instead of using my onboard resident generator that is loud and produces much more power than I normally need. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great generator

Have had it about a month and used several times mostly running a electric tree pruner. Quiet and easy to start. Only thing that I would like is if they made the side cover with some type of snap latch or thumb screw so you wouldn't have to get a screw driver to remove not a big deal but a nice to have. I like the ability to drain carburetor.

Sound Power!

As an MC and race announcer I am in need of power when a plug in source is not available and this unit has proved to carry the load of my voice and streaming music through my sound system for hours on end. Pretty user friendly for a non mechanical/technical operator like myself and any issues I've had would have been alleviated if I would have JUST READ THE DIRECTIONS! Personally I like the color because it ties in with my logo and separates itself from others being used at events. Would buy another if I'd ever need to.

Great for the price

This igen2500 started on first pull ,runs quiet, and able to pair with igen2200 or my Igen4500, love the gauge’s, wish the 2200 had that, I’ve had it a couple of months and a cold front in Texas went by it cranked right up but didn’t have to use, for the price it is a great Value
