I just took it out of the box and added oil and gas.....started up on second pull. Very quiet at start up. Checked with voltmeter, looked good. Hooked up a small heater with 600, 900 and 1500 watt setting. Let run several minutes on each setting and now I’m going to drain the oil and add new oil just to be safe. But I’m very pleased so far!

I purchased this generator for two reasons. First since we live in Florida I wanted a dependable unit to have in case of a power outage from a hurricane. Second we enter our community golf cart Christmas parade every year. And this year we needed a generator to power all of our lights.

The iGen 2500 will power either one of our camper's 15000 BTU air conditioner units just fine. I had to make sure that all of the electrical loads were switched off otherwise it wouldn't start them reliably. I installed an Easy-Start in one of the units and now it'll start it effortlessly, and I don't have to shut the battery charging circuit off before switching the unit on. 2500 watts (2200 continuous) from 48 lbs. Fantastic

I really wanted an inverter generator that was good on gas. A friend has the 2200 and loves it. It was supposed to come with a free cover after I left this review. Unfortunately they don't have any covers so I get a power strip instead. Now I need to find a cover

So far, I've just been getting through a break-in period, but after the first few minutes, it was running smoothly and very quiet! Want to be ready for hurricane season and I think for purposes of being able to run my fridge, a hotplate, and a very small AC (one at a time of course) I should be set!

This generator has been great. Came with everything needed in the box, the directions were clear and it started right up. I originally purchased this generator for my cabin but after realizing how much electricity I need vs what I thought - I now plan on using this to power my home necessities during a power outage.

Arrived 3 weeks late but I guess that can be expected because of the hurricanes this year causing high demand. Added oil and non-ethanol gas, choked and it started first pull! I have had a Honda 2000 for over 13 years that still runs great but needed more power for AC on my RV. It runs as quiet as my Honda but time will tell about the reliability of the unit. First impression is I am very happy with this purchase.

Bought this to use with my RV and as backup/emergency home power. So far works great. Starts right up and is quiet. I am not a scientist but give or take a db or two and it is as quiet as any others out there.....and at a GREAT price! So far I have used it on the RV and around the home. Sometimes it is just easier to grab this than to pull out extension cords for work out my large yard.

I purchased this two months ago to get ready for this camping season. It just has to run my RV 13500 BTU AC and it does/did. As soon as it arrived in May I put it through its paces and all seemed fine. I put it up until a week before our July trip and got it out to run. After one hour, it started "hunting" around, surging, and then quitting. I checked oil, all good. I then put in a new NGK spark plug and it did start back up but a sputtering start. It ran again for about 30 minutes, started hunting, and quit. I started again and it ran fine for two hours and I put it away until today, same thing, hunting, surging, quitting. I need help, I'm counting on this generator for the next two and a half weeks camping. I need customer service. I hope this is something simple as I really like the overall value of this unit and very much want it to work out.

I bought the generator to use with my RV camper and it arrived just in time for a March 2 Nor'easter in PA where I lost house power for 2 days. After adding oil and gas, it started on first pull. It is quiet at 25% load or less but much more noticeable above that. I have no previous experience with other inverter generators to compare noise levels though. I ran it 20 hours and changed oil. Oil was moderately dirty, nothing I took exception to. Added Mobil 1 oil and ran another 8 hours with no issue. So far I'm happy with my purchase.
