The output is great compared to the weaker 1600 watt generators. I drilled a small hole for the carb drain hose to exit the side panel and another to open the drain screw, without needing to open the cover every time you store it. I think the easily scratched plastic would be better if it was a high gloss finish like Motorcycle plastics.

I bought the iGen2600 in May in preparation for hurricane season. This was my primary reason, and I also wanted a small, quiet generator to use for camping trips. Because of the Covid-19 situation, I haven't had the opportunity to fully put the little generator through it's paces, but so far I am very impressed! After filling with oil and fuel it started right up with one pull, and ran very quietly and smoothly, powering several small appliances. I especially appreciate the LED data center which makes keeping an eye on fuel levels, power usage and maintenance schedule a breeze. If possible, I will update my review after using the generator more extensively, but right now, I am extremely happy with my purchase!

I live off grid in Michigan and use my igen everyday. It's easy to start and usually fires up on one pull. I built a small enclosed wood housing for it to keep the rain and dirt off which reduces the noise even more. Although without it, you could comfortably have a conversation right next to it without having to yell. The best part about this generator is the fuel efficiency! Must have for anyone traveling or living off grid like my family.

I bought this several months ago, prepared it to run per the instruction manual and it fired right up on the first pull! It has been running great and I am thoroughly satisfied with the purchase, Great price and certainly competes with brands selling close to twice as much.

Just got this and it was easy to set up. Liked the screw in funnel because it prevented a messy fill up with oil. I fired it up for a few hours and tried several devices. I try to heat gun and it worked well and I ran a fan for a while and everything seemed to work exactly as if I had plugged it into the house current. I can't speak for longevity but out of the box it seemed to be everything it was advertised to be.

This is my first generator. It is simple to operate. It handled the load I needed which included an office space with multiple computers/monitors, an entertainment center, and a rolling A/C unit. I really like the digital display of remaining runtime, power usage, and fuel level. This is my natural disaster and power outage go-to unit. I would recommend the unit.

Ran it for a couple of hours and connected different items to it. Responded well. Some very slight surging in rpm's under a steady load. No big deal but will keep an eye on it. Display codes to identify what is being displayed do not all match manual, but you can figure it out easily enough. In my opinion, it would be much better to display the power draw in Watts rather than Kilowatts, but again, a minor thing. Tried shutting it down after running it for a couple of hours, then restarted. As I've seen in some other reviews, it did not restart as easily as a warmed-up engine should. Took a number of pulls and trying choke versus no choke. Maybe just have to figure out the right combination, but that issue could be annoying if I don't figure out the right combination. After allowing to cool down, restarted on the first pull. Being from the U.S., I would prefer the Fuel Level to be displayed in quarts or tenths of a gallon, but the visual fuel gage mostly makes that a non-issue (and it is a minor thing anyway). So overall, with my minor nitpicking, I still give it 5 stars as my initial reaction. How it holds up, hopefully over many years, will tell the final story. Also, the ultimate test will be a power failure when I see how it handles things. (I know it is not a whole-house generator. I mean using it appropriately, but under extended times of heavy load)

Followed instructions to set it up, and it started on the first pull. Quiet! Stable output. It's great on the first day. And from a comment elsewhere, I did check the float bowl screw to be sure it was closed before first startup (it was). Other reviews are very positive, price is competitive. Remaining is only to judge it's performance over time, which is positive in other reviews.

I purchased this generator to supplement our 'boon-docking' experiences with our travel trailer. Right out of the box, I added the provided oil, put in some fresh gasoline, and it fired up within about 5 pulls, and it ran smooth. I like the features and price of this generator. It came referred to me by a neighbor who has used it for awhile now, and was a fraction of the price of the unit I was previously considering.

I found it easy to ad oil and start for the first time. It was nice to have the funnel, oil and spark plug wrench included. The quick guide really made it simple to get it up and running without having to thumb through the owners manual. I like the gauges because they give information to keep track of levels. The air filter cover was not on correctly so it required unscrewing and getting it lined up correctly. Thus the 4 star.
