This generator meets all of our needs.

This is the second iGen2500 Inverter generator that I purchased to attached it to my other unit with a parallel cord to provide extra power. This works great providing the power we need for our pop up food stand. The two units together powers all of our fryers, heating lamps and night and decorative lights (5,000 peak watts and 4,400 running watts) for our branded tent. Lightweight 48lbs; very quiet 52dB, which is necessary for street festivals, 1.0 Gal. fuel tank which runs for 10 hours at a 25% load. Great little setup that meets all of our needs.

Very impressed

Added oil and gas, pulled the handle and it started right up. I tried to start my RV's 13,500 BTU air conditioner and was really surprised that it had no problem. The displays are good with voltage output, watts using, fuel supply, running hours, hours left etc. So far, call me impressed.

Fantastic Generator

I just got mine today. I started the breaking in process and let me start of by saying - after primed- one pull start. Next Super quiet, no load on it yet. Like the digital display and cant wait to use this with our camper later this spring. Happy with this little powerhouse thus far, Thank you

A must have

I purchased this Gen as emergency power in case of electrical loss. Live in Houston, Texas area. . Have to live with hurricanes. Wanted the ability to power up the friges if needed and have electricity to run some lights, tv, etc and a real big fan if we lose power. Easy set up. Added the included oil, Some gas. started on second pull. Very nice. Let it run for about 5 minutes, then hooked up a large fan to the gen. No problem, even switched over to inverter and the gen cut back some. Had the gen outside garage on driveway, Could not hear it in the house, Walked down the street at 100ft sounded fairly quiet. At 150ft could barley hear it Up close is quieter than a lawn mower. Weight not a problem. Easy to move. Very pleased with this gen, just hope I never need it for it's intended purpose. I am DIYer so will keep gas in it and just run it at least every two weeks or more to keep it in efficient order and ready to go.

Great

I bought this in case of a prolonged power outage to power my freezer and fridge. I haven't had to use it yet but setup was easy. It's fairly quiet, we could carry on a conversation while standing right next to it. I'm almost looking forward to an excuse to use it!

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.

Great Features

I bought this one week ago and have tested it under load up to 1,700 watts and it performed flawlessly. Start up was immediate, first pull. Operation was quite. All digital display panel functions worked nicely. Love the gas gauge. Included oil funnel and spark plug removal tool and screwdriver. Very easy to setup and run. Side cover is easy to remove to gain access to carburetor.

Completely Satisfied

I bought this a week ago and have never owned a generator/inverter. It was so easy to use out of the box. After filling with engine oil and gasoline, it started on the first pull. It is so quiet! I am back and forth from my home and farm to operate equipment: electrical saws, air compressors, heaters, cooking stoves, etc... I even plan to take this thing to the softball fields for some nice hot lunches. If you haven't committed to a product yet, don't overlook this one!

Easy to setup, start, and use. Powerful enough for my RV

Just received the generator and it arrived in great condition in a remote area of Alaska. This generator was easy to setup, and the instructions were very clear. It even came with oil. I have only run it with variable loads for the RV but I will be taking it on the jobsite very soon.

Fuel efficient and quiet

We just recently purchased this and tested it out on our 2100 sqft house. We could have the fridge, tv and lights on with no problem. We were looking for something more compact, quieter and something that wasn't forcing us to constantly get gas during an outage. Excellent purchase!
