Couldn't be happier, great product!

I purchased this generator 1 year ago and just this week finally got around to taking it out of the box. I followed the easy start up instructions and guess what? It started on the very first pull. My previous generator took about 20 minutes of pulling to finally get it to start. The display is very informative and it does run pretty quiet. The display tells you how much fuel you have left but it is in liters so it doesn't do me too much good. It does let you know about how much time the generator will run before it is out of gas, that is nice. It is heavy so I do wish it had wheels. All-in-all, this generator is exactly what I was expecting and has not disappointed.

More power than most protable generator

I am going to use 2 generators to operate air-conditioner from my RV (13500BTU). It seems the starting AC without any issues and the generator has a lot of power. The potential concern so far I have is that the power consumption from both units is not equal (e.g., one showed 0.76 power and the other 0.32). I don't understand why unbalanced power happened under the paralleling operation when the westinghouse paralleling cable was used.

Easy Set Up & Operation

These two smaller units with parallel operation replaced an older unit that I simply could not get to work (start) during my annual "get ready for hurricane season" adventure. More efficient and much quieter. And with such a small footprint, easier to store.

Fantastic Generator

I just got mine today. I started the breaking in process and let me start of by saying - after primed- one pull start. Next Super quiet, no load on it yet. Like the digital display and cant wait to use this with our camper later this spring. Happy with this little powerhouse thus far, Thank you

Nice generator but wished it was a little quieter

The generator is a good value, starts easily and I like the status display. The only issues are there is no hours of use display and even though it has a variable load throttle it seems a little loud even at no load. I have a sound meter and measured the sound level closer to 57 dBA at no load at the standard 7 meters (23 ft away) instead of the 52 dBA at 25% it is rated. Odd thing is that is doesn't get much loader at full load which measured 61 dBA? One issue could be is that the idle speed is set to high (it also is not running smoothly even with fresh gas) or maybe it will get quieter after break-in? After break-in if this is still happening I may take it to be adjusted.

Good value

Bought this as a backup for my house when the power goes down to power the refrigerator mostly. Also may use it on my boat to charge batteries. Runs quietly and seems to do the job. When you start it for the first time, it will take a number of pulls to get it to start as apparently you need to get gasoline thru the carburetor. Then it starts easily with one pull after that.

iGen2500

I bought this generator a year ago . We live in an area where there are often power outages. When I received the unit, I put in some gas, added oil and started the unit. . I then put it in my shed for the next power outage. That was yesterday 8/25/2022, about a year after I purchased it. I tried starting it for about a half an hour in the rain. I then let it sit for 20 minutes and tried again. finally thinking maybe it was flooded i went to take out the spark plug and noticed that the spark plug was split down the middle and the spark plug wire that attached to the plug was cracked. Needless to say we had no power for the nite. Now ask me how I like the product

Great Features!

I bought this for our fifth wheel. It started right up, and I was surprised at the efficiency of the unit. It barely used 25% of its capacity with all of the lights on in the camper. On top of that, it is super quiet. Really pleased with this purchase.

Very impressive.

I purchased this generator to power my travel trailer. It started on the first pull. With the A/C, refrigerator and all light operating, I tipped 50% load. I love all the LED/digital feedback including fuel, instantaneous output, etc. My electric leaf blower is much louder than the generator at 50% output which is the highest load I have put on it (break in period). I think it's a keeper!

Looks Good

I bought this last summer for my RV and was a bit disappointed that it will not power my AC. I did some research and was sure it had enough power but it doesn't. I have not really used this other than to check to see if it would power the AC. It does run quiet and has enough power to do anything else I need on the RV.
