Love this Generator!!

Last year during Mathew I borrowed a Honda generator from a friend and was really pleased with its performance and how quiet it was but when purchasing one this year I was not happy to see it sold for $999. Very, very happy with the Igen2500 and how much quieter and fuel efficient it is and I saved $300 over the Honda. I searched many brands and types of generators and am confident that I made the best choice.

Security in a small package.

I recently bought an iGen2200 to have on hand during short power outages. I live in Oklahoma and the weather can be extremely unpredictable year-round. I only wanted to be able to power a few appliances and not the whole house. The size of this generator is perfect for my needs. It's easy to move around and position outside the house where needed and it's quiet when it's running. We feel a lot more secure now knowing we can run our fridge and a few lights for a couple of days. The iGen2200 appears to be well-made and dependable. Maintenance is basic and easy to perform. I expect this product to serve our needs for many years to come.

Awesome product!!!

I bought the IGen2500 and this product works great as advertised. What a deal too. It’s quiet and easy to move around. We had one of the worst power outages in WI history and this thing kept me going all throughout. I recommend this product against any competitor

Very impressed

Added oil and gas, pulled the handle and it started right up. I tried to start my RV's 13,500 BTU air conditioner and was really surprised that it had no problem. The displays are good with voltage output, watts using, fuel supply, running hours, hours left etc. So far, call me impressed.

Great Start

I bought this after looking at many like it. I found a price I couldn’t pass and when it came I wasn’t disappointed. Added oil and it started on the first pull. I operate a mobile DJ business and this will come in handy for running my equipment off-grid if the time ever comes. I did an event with a generator of a different brand and am anxious to try this one.

Quiet, great value and features

I just received the generator and everything needed was included in the package, including oil. It fired up on the second pull and ran smoothly. After the initial startup, it fired up on the first pull every time even after cooling down. It is incredibly quiet, especially on eco mode. The digital readout is especially handy to see how much runtime is left at current power draw. This runs my slide-in camper with plenty of power to spare.

Very Impressed!

Bought this generator primarily to be able to run a 15K a/c unit in the RV as well as for the odd portable needs requirement. I am currently midway thru my own break-in procedure of 1 hour run with varying loads, then drain the oil, refill and run for 4 hours with varying loads, then good to go. Using a 600w fan, 1800w hair dryer and a 15A HF air compressor, all at varying times to apply load and this iGen unit has passed. The air compressor did kick the breaker when it tried to restart with 80psi head pressure on the compressor. I can't fault the iGen as that is a very heavy starting load. I pressed the circuit breaker reset while the iGen was still running, depleted the remaining air in the tank and turned the air compressor back on. The iGen handled the startup without issue. The generator's noise level is less than that of a push lawnmower when the air compressor was running, so it will work great for the RV. I am very impressed with this unit.

I would recommend this generator.

Great product easy to use generator. Incredible fuel efficiency a full tank can give you up to 15 hours at 50% load. I am really impressed with it. After many comparisons with other inverters on this power range I select this generator and I am extremely satisfied.

Excellent and Powerful Generator

What I like about the iGen2500: 1. Handles 1200 Watt inductive loads very well. 2. Gently sips gas. After 3 months of intermittent use, I have only filled the gas tank one time. 3. Data center will display fuel level, voltage level, power usage and run-time. 4. On "eco mode" the unit is very quiet. 5. Burns fuel very cleanly. I have notice that exhaust fumes produced from this unit are not very harsh like other 4 cycle engines. 6. Starts very easy. Starts on the first pull with proper choke usage. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase. It is a very good buy.

Great Price

I haven't gotten to use the iGen2200, but it seems to be solidly built. Being made in Vietnam in my opinion is many steps above the Chinese throw away items. The one thing that would be a great addition, would be some kind of storage bag/compartment that you could stow the user manual and the oil/funnel/tools that are provided so that you may be able to find when you need them. Overall a good investment.
