Easy start, low dB

I bought this a month ago and we are going to use it camping for the first time. It replaces a comparable model from a different maker of lower comparable cost. I like the upgraded display and weather resistant covers, but the 2500 model has a gas tank that it .5 gal less than the 2200 model.. Other than less fuel capacity, it seems solid and lighter than its predecessor of a comparable make/model. The oil was added and a little bit of fuel and the generator started on the first pull with choke on. We look forward utilizing the generator for multiple days as it runs at at lower decibels, comparable to much more expensive competitors that do not offer as much power.

Compact and full of features

This compact generator is just the right size for the applications I intend to use it for. After the massive power outage here in S Texas in February this year I lost the capability to heat my well pump head and pool pumping apparatus (we live in the country and have our own drilled well) - serious damaged pipes and pumps etc. With this generator I will be better prepared this year and have piece of mind.

Well designed generator.

I am very pleased with the iGen2500 Generator. The documentation is well done and provided the information necessary to quickly set up and test the unit. The generator is well constructed and easy for me to use for a variety of construction applications as well as emergency needs. Thanks for designing and building a good unit.

New, Seems to be a Great Machine!

Unboxed, pleased to find oil and tools enclosed. Package arrived in good shape. Read the quick start guide, added the oil and filled tank with gas. Pulled one time to get some oil circulated, turned to choke and started first pull! Used about 30 minutes trimming a large hedge, ran great.

Works perfectly

I bought this a month ago. I’m very placed with how easy it is to use. Just add the provided oil and fuel and start. That’s it. The included brochure has lots of helpful maintenance information. This generator powers my heater in my camper with plenty of power to spare.

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.

Quiet with Great LED Features

I bought this yesterday and came home added oil and .9 Liters of gas and it started on the 4th pull. It ran for 2.5 hours and was still running when I turned off the gas. I switched from regular run mode to econ mode several times to help break-in the engine. It ran great! I am guessing it will run a minimum of 10-12 hours on a tank of gas. I showed my wife how to use the generator and she was able to start it with no problems. Great investment! The Led's show how much gas is in the tank and how much run time you have left along with other led features such as total hours...Great features.

Good build quality.

So far, I'm pleased with this generator. It was properly boxed to avoid shipping damage. I really like the digital information panel. With this unit, and a much larger open frame generator, I feel well prepared. I've never owned a (H) or (Y) generator, so I can't compare them, but the internal components all appear to be top quality. Only time will tell how reliable the igen2500 is. After proving itself over the long run, this machine may get a revised rating of five stars.

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.
