We have not fired off yet, but are very impressed with the options on it and the fact that details in manuel are extensive and even cover yearly maintenance. We needed one that would run our camper AC, and I do not anticipate any problems with this one. Only reason not a 5 review is because we have not broken it in yet.

I bought two of the iGen2500 and the parallel cable/cord to hook two of them up and run the RV. The generators are relatively quiet as advertised, and they performed the first test well and powered the travel trailer with the cord. However, it need to be plugged straight to the RV electric cord. When plugged into a progressive industries 30A surge protector and EMS, it would give an open ground code. If you want to use an EMS, it appears that you need to get a generator bonded plug.

This is actually a positive review. But I have a warning too. My unit arrived with the float bowl drain wide open and I didn't see that. At least not until I had about a cup of fuel in the bottom of the shroud. Suggest checking that before starting. Otherwise simple storage for the tools would be a nice touch. Everything else worked per plan.

Bought this for an upcoming camping trip. I love the digital data center and that it is linkable to another iGen2500. The 2 usb outlets are a nice feature along with the 2 120V recepticles instead of other manufactures who have no usb and 1 120V recepticle. Slightly heavier and larger than I thought, but hey it is a 2500W peak and 2200W running which is another bonus.

I put in oil and fuel, pulled the handle a number of times, the generator started, ran for a while, powered an 1875-watt hair dryer, and now I submit this review in order to receive a cover which probably should have just been included with the generator. I have absolutely no other experience on which to base a review and thus the neutral star rating. I will leave a highly opinionated review if I do not now receive the cover.

I bought this as a backup for house as well as camping. It started on first pull and continues to start easily. It is louder than I was hoping, too much so for camping near others. "Super quiet" as stated is not as quiet as I expected. However, I would definitely buy again.

I bought this a Sam’s club and really didn’t know of this make. I was looking for an inverter, and this one had the most running watts of a 2500 model. I will use this with my camping trailer along with a second one I purchased. I will run them in parallel with the cables I purchased separately. It is very well made and a solid unit with great features, and a three year warranty to top it off.

Just received it. Put the oil in and will gas it up when I need it. Seems solid and well built, but the plastic cover snapper broke when a removed the service cover to access the oil input hole - it is super cluing now. And there was a loose metal nut thing inside that I had to remove. Not sure where this goes but may find out later - guessing it has something to do with the service panel removal.

So far, so good. I received my new iGen2500, took it out of the box, added the oil and some gasoline, and it started on the third pull. The side cover was a little tough to get off the first time in order to add the oil, but I was being very cautious so as to not accidentally break anything; the rubber grommets are a bit tight when new. There are many on-line reviews that advise changing the oil after a short break-in period. This made sense to me, so after running it lightly loaded for about an hour (with an occasional 1 kW hair dryer for a few minutes at a time, just to exercise things), I changed the oil. The oil was fairly clean and there was no debris (metal particles) that I could see. Seeing this result was good news. I'm hopeful that the manufacturing processes and/or quality control have improved to eliminate some of the early wear that other users have experienced.

I purchased this I/GEN because I wanted one lighter than my old regular generator with the same wattage. I got it, put the oil in, put some fuel in and it started on the second or third pull. Checked everything out and it was A O/K. Plugged up some of my equipment and tried it out. It ran just fine. I ran it about 1 1/2 hours, cut it off for about 30 minutes then started it again with no problem. I ran it a while longer and cut it off. I am thoroughly pleased with it. Great buy as far as I am concerned.
