quiet

I had a small difficulty removing the access cover the first time even though I had removed the 2 phillips screws. In desperation I pried the cover off enough to get fingers into it. One of the small guiding pegs broke off as I was doing this. I will try to glue it back on but I am not hopeful that it will stay fixed.

Great Investment

I purchased this for those times when power goes out due to storms and/or snow/ice. Great Investment. I used it for the first time yesterday after a bad storm, plugging in my refrigerator, wifi, tv, fan, lamp, etc. I was very pleased with this item and the simplicity of the generator.

It handles a 13000 BTU mini-split with ease

It runs well when it’s working. I’ve had it for almost a year now and with proper maintenance it’s a good machine. I use it to run my 13,000 btu mini-split AC and it run for 10 hours on 1 gallon of gasoline. It’s really quiet too. The only problem I encountered is the carburetor is failing even after taking it apart and cleaning , it does run right but it’s hunting all the time. Good thing it’s still under warranty

Brighton, Mi

Great looking unit....Had issue of smell of melting plastic or rubber on initial start-up...I removed end panel at exhaust side and found a large rubber cap laying in the air intake used to cool the motor....i put the rubber cap in the end of the motor where it belonged...Don't know if any damage was caused by over-heating

Nice Generator

I brought this generator to run my refrigerator cooler at work. I used to plug it into my truck cigarette plug but it drained my battery in a short time. This generator is perfect since it is compact and runs most of the work day without refueling it. It’s quiet too.

Just what we needed

Bought this primarily for backup power during temporary power outages. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but assuming it functions as advertised it is just what we needed. Small and light enough for easy storage, quiet, and with enough capacity to keep our refrigerator and/or freezer cold plus operate our TV and computer to keep up with related news.

igen 2500

Bought for emergency backup power. I’ve run it for the recommended 5 hour break in period to make sure it’s working and would be ready to run full power before I need it during a power outage and had no issues so far. Started up with one easy pull, no priming needed. So far it seems solid.

Very happy with purchase

Bought a week ago. Quality engineering and components from the automatic choke/start to the metal tank and housing. Even included a funnel for adding the oil so I didnt have to bother with finding one. Primary use is home backup connecting to a transfer switch and the 50A/208v port on the generator.

iGen2500

I bought this 3 weeks ago to be ready for hurricane season. Got the generator delivered in less than a week. Got it filled with oil and gas and it started very easy. My wife even started it without any issues. Easy to move with one person. Great product and glad we have one if we have any power issues.

Good Generator

Received the generator today. Put oil and gas in and started on the second pull. Run it for about two minutes. Cut it off because I had it inside my garage. I recently hurt my back, so I won't be breaking it in for a while. But it sure was impressive while it was running. If all its features work as advertised, it will be a great buy. And I have no reason to believe it won't. Seems to be a great little generator.
