I am going to use 2 generators to operate air-conditioner from my RV (13500BTU). It seems the starting AC without any issues and the generator has a lot of power. The potential concern so far I have is that the power consumption from both units is not equal (e.g., one showed 0.76 power and the other 0.32). I don't understand why unbalanced power happened under the paralleling operation when the westinghouse paralleling cable was used.

Added the oil per the instructions, added gasoline, and pulled the rope. Started right up and ran very quietly. I plugged in my electric power washer and spent about an hour on the generator. The electric power washer was much louder than the generator. I moved the generator behind my car and it was almost unnoticeable. I have a large generator that runs my house, but is hard to carry on trips (it is heavy). I got this one to carry in my truck for trips (we camp in the bed). Very easy to move and load into the truck.

Use to recharge battery for trailer, phone, cameras, computer, keeps truck batteries fully charged as it gets colder while up hunting. Gives me back up power for heat, lights, & entertainment for the kids. And when the propane runs out, don't have to run to town for a refill.

I received the iGen2600 exactly as described. Added oil and gas, started on first pull. Went through the break-in process and all is working great. This generator runs RV camper lights, tv, fridge and small air-conditioner with no problem or lack of power. Quiet as described, a great camping generator. Lightweight and easy to carry with one hand. Quite a bit of research went into this buy and so far it is a solid purchase.

I've had the 2500 for about a month or so and I'm pleased with it's performance. The operating instructions were clear and the maintenance points are well covered. I like that the igen is compact and portable. It will be handy during hurricane season.

We ice fish and have used the predator line of generators but the 2000 is just to small for what we need. The 2500 runs everything in our fish house without tripping. It will even run the ac! Its compact. Only thing they need to include is a fuel pump so you can run an extended run tank.

I had very excellent experience while starting up the generator. It is very quiet and easy to understand its operation. Manual is very easy to understand. It started up for the first time with just three tries and handle the loads efficiently. Small enough for easy carrying on my truck and for storage. I highly recommend you purchase this generator

This appears to be a good machine. It started on the first pull right out of the box, after adding the gas and oil. Time will tell how good it really is. I added a little gas and it started right up. I opened the choke and after a several seconds the engine began to surge and died and would not start again. (I hope this is not going to be a problem.) I added a little more gas to the tank and it restarted and the engine smoothed out, so maybe it wad just air in the lines. I restarted it a few days later and it had no problems. It does have a bit of a sound to the muffler as if it were running a little rich and reburns in the muffler a little and I don't know if this is normal for this engine. I am going to give it some time and see how it goes. I will also try to talk to someone on the help line and see what they have to say. The rest of my review will sound like knit picking, but hopefully can help the buyer and the designer. (1)The dB rating would be more helpful if it stated at how many feet this was taken. Like many other reviewers I find machine this to be louder than expected (not a deal breaker). (2) The operator should not have to remove a cover that has Philips head screws, in order to check or add oil. The cheap screwdriver that is provided is a poor fit for the screws and would booger them up over time. (3) The fuel capacity is way to small for my intended purpose, (2.5 Hrs. of run time at full output). I should have been more thorough when researching this product. I cant imagine having to get up several times a night to keep a refrigerator and freezer running without the generator running out of fuel and possibly damaging them the next time we lose power for several days. I must look into an auxiliary fuel tank for this generator and now what seemed like a good price is no longer.

I purchased this generator to run the A/C on desert camping trips. I installed a Micro Air EasyStart 364 onto an older Coleman Mach 3 unit. The A/C starts easily on the ECO setting, and runs the A/C at around 1/2 load on the generator. For testing, once the A/C was running, I was able to start the microwave and it worked without complaint. I did not test the voltage reading for accuracy, but it corresponded with the meter inside the trailer, and even under load, the voltage stayed about 120-122 volts. Although this unit does make a bit more noise under load, it is definitely nowhere near a 3600rpm generator. Inside, with the A/C on, the generator was barely perceptible. With the A/C off, the engine idled down and is rather quiet when not under load. I am very pleased with this generator.

We had a power outage. We were informed that it would be late evening before power would be restored. I had seen the unit recently at a local store and went to pick one up. Setup was simple and the unit functioned well. Having a standby power supply was something I always considered but never took action on.
