Well designed generator.

I am very pleased with the iGen2500 Generator. The documentation is well done and provided the information necessary to quickly set up and test the unit. The generator is well constructed and easy for me to use for a variety of construction applications as well as emergency needs. Thanks for designing and building a good unit.

Great for the price

This igen2500 started on first pull ,runs quiet, and able to pair with igen2200 or my Igen4500, love the gauge’s, wish the 2200 had that, I’ve had it a couple of months and a cold front in Texas went by it cranked right up but didn’t have to use, for the price it is a great Value

Nice portable generator

I wanted a small generator for worksites that was portable and quiet. So far, so good. Nice size and weight, and quiet when not under load. Not particularly quiet when powering a power tool, but then the noise of the tool is more than the generator. Haven’t tried full load because I’m still in the break-in period, but it seems to power up quickly and effectively as needed. Only flaws so far is that it takes a few more pulls to start than I’d expect, and access to the oil fill requires removing the side cover, but this seems to be common with this form of generator.

Works well

I like the information display. I put the oil in it included with the box fueled it up and it took a few pulls to get it started the first time, but after that it starts with one pull. It will power my every trailer microwave and lights. Not enough power for the A/C alone but I did not expect it would.

Great little generator !

I purchased the iGen 2800 in late July. We were so impressed by how quiet and how much power it put out. We ran our tv, internet, direct tv, room air conditioner, and two fans. With all that it was only at 25% load. Liked it so well, we bought a second one for our daughter who lives in the city and has all underground utilities. Hope she never needs it, but at least it gives me peace of mind. By draining all fuel and running until it completely empty, it should last for years without any problems. Great product !

Starts on first pull. Smooth running

I'm running the generator in its break in period right now, varying my watt loads. Added oil, pulled the starter and it fired right up. Very quiet machine. Runs smooth. Really like the display showing power output, fuel remaining, time remaining and engine hours. I will run the gas out of the tank and the drain the carburetor and then store the machine. This was purchased for home back up power in case of an outage. Planning to run a freezer and fridge (alternating between the two), DSL modem and and couple LED light bulbs. Lots of research before the purchase. Felt this represented the best blend of features. I do wish it had a fuel shut off setting so that the gas would get used up in the carburetor before shut down. Hope to never have to actually use it.

Perfect Solution

I researched inverter generators for months and always came back to the iGen2500 based on reviews and the power it offered. Set up was easy and it started on the second pull. I connected it to my travel trailer and tested the television, fans, and microwave. Everything worked. Then I turned everything off everything except one of two AC units at a time that are mounted on my roof. The 13500K unit started and ran easily and showed 75% usage on the IGen meter. I then tried the 15000K unit and it also started easily and ran well. The IGen meter showed about 100% usage so I doubt I could run anything else, but at least I can cool down the TT with the larger AC and then run the smaller unit to keep it cool, and also run the TV and fans. I suspect I would have to turn off the AC in order to use the microwave, but that’s not a problem. I am absolutely amazed and pleased that this little generator performs so well.

Bought a 2nd one

I bought one at the beginning of August because it was on a sale that I could not pass up. I used it for the first time after Hurricane Ida we were out of power for a week and a half. We also had a gas shortage but I was able to run a lot of my necessities in my home with a fraction of the fuel consumption compared to my neighbors big portable generator. I ran ceiling fans with led lights a large refrigerator a upright freezer 6500 btu window unit and it ran at 25 to 50 percent capacity the whole time ofcourse with letting it rest from time to time and maintenance as scheduled. I ran it a total of 176 hours. I was getting between 6 to 7 hours a gallon of gas. So I ordered a second one for me and two more for my neighbors who were impressed with what it could do.

Amazing inverter Generator

I saw this generator on sale for $200 off regular price and ordered it. Fast delivery. Followed instructions and it fired up like a champ. My friends are envious now they did not order one when I told them about it being on sale. It is not overly noisy and overall a great generator!

Well made and fuel efficient

The iGen2500 seems very well made. The generator ran for an amazingly long time for the little amount of gasoline I put in. The display had useful information which shows the amount of fuel left and the percentage of potential power I have consumed.
