Great Generator

So far the iGen2500 is great compared to a different brand I have used previously. Still in the break in period haven't had a full load on it yet. Starts on the 1st or 2nd pull and is easy for my wife to start. So far i rate this high for quality, we will have to see how long the iGen2500 will last!

All the power we needed!

We recently bought a camper and decided we would like to have portable power, ordered this one after looking at the reviews and comparing other products. it started on the first pull and gave us all the power we needed(even running the microwave!) The only issue we had was,I had over filled the fuel tank, it kept vapor locking until the fuel level receded enough to stop the problem, I had to unscrew the fuel cap to let air in. took a little while as it doesn't use a lot of fuel, it ran over 8 hours on one fill up.

Small and quiet

I bought the 2200 a few months ago, and love it. I have put 20 hours on it with no issues at all. This one (the 2500) just got unpacked today and ran with a break-in load for about an hour. Seems fine so far! Almost the same outer dimensions as the 2200, but just a shade louder likely due to the larger engine. Still pretty quiet. Now, I'm getting the synch cables to run them both together.

Started on first pull and ran great!

Took Generator out of the box added the supplied oil per directions then added gas and it started on first pull! This is a very high quality Generator for the money. I hooked it up to my Camper and we kept it under 50% capacity (break in period) and it worked perfectly. This generator will easily meet our needs for off grid or boondocking camping. Very satisfied with this product so far.

Nice Generator Happy With Purchase

I have had the generator for about a month. I have close to 30 hrs. on it so far. I am very happy with the machine. It powers my boat battery charger and the refrigerator and 2 burner electric stove. Also powered my friends off the grid house running all the lights and large screen TV.... And the Microwave. It runs a long long time on a gallon a gas. I was running it around 50% load and less than a half gallon of fuel lasted around 6 hrs. I did have a problem right out of the box though. I filled the gas and then started the generator for the first time. It started leaking fuel. I turned the generator off and the leak stopped. I removed the side cover looking for the leak as I turned the fuel back on. It looked to be leaking somewhere behind the carburetor. I lightly tapped on the carburetor float bowl. Was still leaking and could not tell from where. Turned the fuel back off. I removed more of the covers until I could get a better look and found it leaking between the carb and the engine. With that I realized it was a stuck float. easy..I can forgive a stuck float. Poor baby must have had a rough ride getting to me. I rapped sharply on the float cover with the handle of my screwdriver and the float broke free and the leak stopped. I reassembled the outside covers and started the generator and it ran great. I changed the oil at about 10 hrs. and again at 20 hrs. I have been running the methanol free fuel, and I run it till its empty. I learned to be careful about how much fuel I put in as a little goes a very long way. I am so impressed with this little generator. Its well built. Light weight, Quiet, and starts easy.

Quiet Power

I purchased this generator to have portable, reliable power on the road. The generator is lightweight and easy to handle. It's surprisingly quiet and also has a CO warning for extra safety. The running power for the size is great. 2200W of running power is enough power for lights, computers, and even a heaters or ac (~1800W). A bonus feature the unit has is the countdown. There is no more guessing on the time remaining for the load or waking up with no power. This is a very convenient and quiet generator to have for use. I highly recommend.

Great product!!!

Bought this for my horse/sleeper trailer. Could not have asked for better results. Powers all my lights, refrigerator and coffee maker without an issue. Will buy another down the road and tie them both together for double the power. Unit is very quiet.

Good Features, Runs Well

I bought this over a month ago and when it arrived, I ran it for an hour to start the break in process. Then changed oil, and ran with a load. The features of having digital readout, smooth quiet running, clear good power generation to smoothly run all appliances plugged in. I recommend the product.

Looks and works great

This started after the first pull, and so far works like a charm. I've used a Honda 2000 as well, and noise-wise, the two are very similar. I love the digital read out telling me run time, fuel power output, etc. This is a great generator at a super price.

Good value

Bought this as a backup for my house when the power goes down to power the refrigerator mostly. Also may use it on my boat to charge batteries. Runs quietly and seems to do the job. When you start it for the first time, it will take a number of pulls to get it to start as apparently you need to get gasoline thru the carburetor. Then it starts easily with one pull after that.
