So far, so good...

Delivered today - unboxed it, went thru the initial setup process, started right up. Was able to power my air compressor and a couple other electric tools in the garage without any issues. Seems to work fine - will have to wait for the power to go out to give this a full test.

Pretty but won't start yet

Bought igen2500 and it came within a few days. No visible damage. Smooth fulfillment process. Even includes the oil. However, it will not start, which is frustrating with a new product. Customer service asked me to test spark plug, which I still need to do with the help of a second set of hands. Fingers crossed.

Happy with Purchase

Happy so far with product. Will run my heater in my tent throughout the winter camping months. Made sure to do the break in with the generator. Changed oil after an hour or so of running. Oil was dirty but didn't see any metal filings or chunks. Was happy with that. My last generator did not come with pre measured oil or a spout to fill so that was awesome. Keeping that for future oil changes. Hopefully the digital read out keeps working. On my dads predator that was the first thing to go. We shall see. For a small to medium camping generator I have been very happy so far.

So far so good

Have used once so far. Plan to use for power outages to power my fridge and a few other things. After adding oil and gas, it started right up. Plugged in my fridge and only used less than 10% of available power with fridge compressor running. Should meet all of my needs next time the power goes out.

EASY TO START!

It was surprisingly easy to start and fairly easy to carry! I read the manual from cover to cover and found everything clearly explained and all the "cautions" emphasized. I decided to test it out, being that it's my first generator. I followed the pre-operating instructions and filled it with the provided oil and recommended gasoline. Then I followed the starting procedures and pulled the recoil handle and it started on the 4th pull. Now I can sleep better at night knowing I'm prepared for the next power outage in my neighborhood.

Quiet

Performs very well. Bought for our travel trailer that is off grid. We run our refrigerator, lights and ac without a problem. Was skeptical when they said it runs 10 hours on a gallon of gas but it does. In fact, it ran 11 hours running just the refrigerator.

Full-time and first generator.

I brought it home today and broke it in. It started with the first pull. Ran an hour unloaded then changed oil. Ran a second hour with loads 1500w water kettle five times and several cycles of my craftsman 6gal air compressor (1000w). I like this generator.

quiet

I just recently purchased this and so far am happy with it. The only thing I have a concern about is the oil cap. For some reason you need to work at it to get it to screw in and the only reason I say that is if you are not careful you could easily cross thread it.

Feature rich & compact

I bought the iGen2500 a couple of weeks ago, so I haven't put it through all the paces yet. It has tons of more features for your money than some of the name brand offerings. Only time will tell how it performs in the long run. So far I think for uses it'll get the job done.

So far so good!

Having researched similar generators, settled on this model because of 2200 running watts. Rated only 4 stars because it came with a broken spark plug, which according to multiple reviews was an issue. Set up was easy and it ran smoothly throughout a 5/6 hour break low to medium loads. So far so good!
