Excellent Product, Great Value

The iGen2500 receives 5 stars as it it truly an excellent generator for the price. The documentation coming out of the box was very high quality and easy to follow. After reviewing the instructions, I filled it with oil and gas. It started on the first pull and is now "purring" away in my back yard. As with other reviewers, I am impressed with the quietness of the generator, and it will be a welcome addition to my camping experience from her on out.

Easy setup, works great!

Great little generator! The entire process from unboxing to up and running was quick and easy. The required oil was included so the only thing you'll need to get going is gas. Used it with a test load with no problems. Looking forward to future use!

Impressive Generator

I've been breaking the Igen 2500 inverter in and so far I am impressed. It is quiet, fuel efficient, and able to power a nice load. I ran my fridge tv, wifi, cable, and box fan for 5 hrs this weekend without any issues. I still have over half a gallon of fuel left. This thing is going to come in very handy some day and when that day comes I will be ready.

Great Invertor Generator

Good build quality, and reasonably easy to transport. The generator startup up on first or second pull, and was easy to setup. It is fairly quite and has served its use thus far. Plan to use for tailgating, camping, and occasional emergency back up power.

Quiet and nice features

This is our fourth generator purchase. Love all the information available in the display. Very quiet for the size and price. Great for camping. Nice power for the weight. (Read that as,either I or my wife can lift it with one hand.) Easy pull start. Nice to have the multiple outlets . I've already recommended it to friends.

Fills the bill.

I am very happy with the iGen2600. It runs the AC and other stuff in my trailer. It's very quiet. In 90 degree weather, after an hour running the AC it shuts down until it cools off. Can't tell if that's an automatic feature or it just happens. The LED display is very helpful. The price is right.

Lightweight and quiet

Purchase the igen2500 to use around our property trimming bushes, trees, etc. I have been using a different generator that requires two people to lift into and remove from the back of our RTV. Setup is easy. Just turn it to choke and started on second pull...very happy...

Great compact design

This is a second generator for us to use during hurricane season. It will power our portable AC unit. Initial setup was easy and the start process is smooth. My wife loves the display that shows time remaining until empty. The compact size and lower noise level are great if we decide to use the generator elsewhere.

Quiet running for size

Purchased my IGEN2500 to get me thru power outages. I ran the unit and put a sizeable load on it. The unit handled the load with no issues. What really impressed me was how quiet the unit was compared to other models that I've had in the past. I'm very pleased with my purchase. I reviewed several units over the period of a month before deciding on the IGEN2500. I recommend this unit to anyone that's looking for a inverter generator at a fair price.

Easy start, low dB

I bought this a month ago and we are going to use it camping for the first time. It replaces a comparable model from a different maker of lower comparable cost. I like the upgraded display and weather resistant covers, but the 2500 model has a gas tank that it .5 gal less than the 2200 model.. Other than less fuel capacity, it seems solid and lighter than its predecessor of a comparable make/model. The oil was added and a little bit of fuel and the generator started on the first pull with choke on. We look forward utilizing the generator for multiple days as it runs at at lower decibels, comparable to much more expensive competitors that do not offer as much power.
