RV 13,500 BTU A/C

The iGen2500 runs my camper RV 13,500 BTU A/C. With nothing else running, all the breakers off, and the engine warmed up the generator would take everything it had to start the A/C before the hard start capacitor was installed in the A/C unit. After the Hard start capacitor (Supco SPP6) was installed in the A/C would start no problem.

2200 continuous watts and a three year warranty!

This is the third brand of inverter generator I recently purchased (other two were returned unused). The first brand could not be paralleled. The second was only 1600 watts continuous. This unit is 2200 watts continuous and comes with a three year warranty!

Good generator, had problems the second year used

Ran great the first summer it was used however the first use the second year it won't run smoothly. RPM's go up and down. At the end of the first summer the gas was completely drained before storing for the winter. Drained gas again after problem was discovered and filled with new gas-no change Plan on taking it in for a service check to see what the problem is.

Easy to Start and Powerful

I bought this inverter after loosing power during hurricane Irma. The set up was easy and it powers a refrigerator and 6000 BTU air conditioner with no difficulty at around 25%. Unfortunately, the pull cord has broken and i intend to call the service number to discuss the repair. Ill update my review after the call.

igen2500

Received this unit in good order with everything I was suppose to get. I will be using it to power Our travel trailer when camping in a dry camp area with no other available power. Have not used it yet but with all the research I did, I feel confident that this generator will be great for our needs.

Initial Review, very pleased out of the box!!

I have considered one of these for some time. A friend was too, and we decided to buy a pair and a parallel cable. We started them up today in parallel and load tested them. They both started on the first pull, and performed well!! Very pleased with this product so far.

Exactly what I had hoped for!

Put the oil in and gas and it started on the second pull. Runs smooth and I would consider it to be very quiet, now the heavier the load the harder it runs the more noise it makes, but if you are using small appliances and can run it on eco mode it is just a little purr. I have very high expectations for this little guy. I purchased this for power outages so we won't lose everything in our refrigerator and freezer. Also we expect it to be useful with our small travel trailer

Everything we we're looking for

We bought our generator in preparation of Hurricane Irma after behind left without power for 8 day following Hurricane Matthew. Luckily we didn't need to use it this Hurricane season. We started it up just to check everything and the unit is quiet and powerful. It was easy to start. We are very happy with out purchase.

Purchase 2 x iGEN2500 plus parallel cable

Both units started on first pull and ran in parallel successfully. The generators ran the air conditioners, the microwave and HWS on electric but went into overload when an electric heater was added. The only negatives were that one of the screws attaching the engine cover was stripped and one of the generators backfired when shut off.

Just What We Were Looking For....

We live in Hurricane alley in Florida and decided this year we would be prepared. We wanted to have an inverter generator on hand to run chest freezer, fans, lamps and recharge electronic items. We wanted portable, light, reliable, and easy start. After extensive research we selected the iGen 2600. We liked the higher starting 2600 watts and the continuous 2200 watts should easily power what we need. So far it has been easy to maintain and starts with 1 pull!
