Everything works as described. Usually when you buy something on-line there always is something not quite what you expected. I can't think of anything to complain about for this generator. The price was right, the manuals were easy to read and the instructions were complete. After I filled the oil and gas it started on the second pull. I let it run for about 5 minutes and it purred like a happy cat. I intend to use it under load in the next few days and I will slend an update if it does not work as described.

Fired right up. Ran it hard varying the load for 20 minutes. Dumped the oil and filled it with Rotella T6 Synthetic. Seems awesome. Bought it to run our camper or concession trailer in a pinch. It ran a space heater and a hair dryer when asked. I’m very happy!

Great generator - I use it with my RV and at home have a second one that I tie together to back up the house - noise level is really good and runs at full tilt when my RV ac starts up and handles it great. The fuel gage and power consumption are great on the control panel - I am never suprised when it is out of gas.

This little generator will surprise you for its size. Unpacked it filled with oil and non ethanol gas and fired right up. Have only used it with electric hedge trimmers in the yard and it worked flawlessly. Does the job intended for sure. Would have give it 5 stars if they had a better quality control at production.

After receiving the generator I checked and found that it was in perfect condition. There was no damage to the unit, the spark plug was intact, and I did not find any contaminants or rust inside the fuel tank as was described in several reviews I had read prior to purchasing. After adding the synthetic oil that was included with the unit, it started up and ran smoothly and quietly. Notifications regarding the purchase processing and the shipping were quick and updated regularly. I would recommend this generator for anyone needing a remote electrical power source.

Received 7/16/21 by UPS. Opened up, serviced, and cranked first pull, very impressed. After running with no load for about 30 mins, I added a fan to load and got no voltage or wattage outputs from data center readout panel. Sending this one back, but willing to try one more time as I really like the features it has. Will update review after new unit is received and tested.

I only ran it for about 5 hours to break in . So I can't give a honest review except to say I love the how light and quiet it is. I don't like the fact there's no fuel valve which is important. My other generators all have the fuel valve which I turn off and burn out the gas in the carburetor . Keeps it cleaner .

Picked this generator up on sale and I am very pleased with its performance. The generator starts easily with just 1 or 2 pulls. Weight is a little heavier than I expected but very reasonable for a 2500-watt generator. It is rated as low as 52 db but I measure sound to be much louder. At the generator with eco mode off it is about 78 db. About 20 ft away sound drops to about 68 db. Eco mode lowers the sound about 5 db. In general, I would still not consider this a loud generator but just not as quiet as I expected it would be. There are 2 screws that hold the side panel on so it allows easy access but toolless access would be nice. The side panel does vibrate a little but adding a couple small pieces of foam stops the rattle. The panel to access the spark plug is on top and it slides out which is nice but it is very difficult to get my hand through the narrow opening. I love the display panel and the ability to pair 2 units together with the addition of a parallel cable so upgrading to more power is very easy. I do wish it allowed you to turn off the fuel and allow the carburetor to run dry when you turn off the generator. If you open the side access panel there is a hose to drain the carburetor, but it would be easier to let it run dry. I would recommend the igen 2500 to anyone looking for a portable generator.

No broken plug or wire! Started second pull. Seemed to run okay. Would not run my 10" radial arm saw (very high starting current) because its breaker popped. (Saw runs on a 15A house breaker just fine - dims the lights a bit but doesn't pop the breaker.) Worked with all of the other shop tools I tried. Exhaust is particularly aromatic (notable because I'm a mechanic used to exhaust stink). Don't position close to any air intakes you care about! I really like the carb drain feature. You can drain off the gas in the tank that feature will prolong its life for sure.

Purchased in Aug for a 2 month trip out west. It will power a 13.5 btu ac with a soft start. Gets a little loud but I was ok with that. Heads up on running in high altitude (read directions). Can be hard to start. Also, I would recommend to use non ethanol gas. Compared to other generators in this class. This wins hands down because of the digital display.
