5 out of 5 stars review

This is my 2nd igen2500 and still a 5 star review

I bought a second generator to run in parallel with the first generator and it runs every bit as well, it came shipped just as well, and I've had just 0 problems with it. I will say that when you run in parallel you must follow the instructions with the parallel cord exactly. If you do not do everything that the instructions say step by step it won't parallel to have equal output. Two of these will run my 13500 btu rv air conditioner, my microwave, my refrigerator and my bathroom fan all at once without tripping overloading.

Once started, ran well.

Will be using for tailgating, although we have Hurricane Irma bearing down on us now. Difficult starting now. Spark plug was screwed in very tight. Once I took it out and reinstalled, it started right up. Starts best when choke isn't fully engaged. Quieter than I expected.

Happy So Far!

Purchased to power my pop-up camper while camping. The purchase was easy and delivery to store was estimated correctly and prompt. Purchased because of good reviews and the included 3 year warranty. The unit is compact and light weight. I have yet to try it out. Will update when I do.

Great!, but no cover.....?

Bought to take camping with our R.V.- it runs great, is powerful enough to run the air conditioner or the microwave, is extremely quiet, and light enough to be very portable! My only complaint is that it seems to have a slight sputter while running- even with no load on it. That being said, it hasn't posed a problem yet!

Easy starting, lots of power for a camper.

This is for our camper. Previous unit would only run the ac. This igen2500, at the same weight and size, runs the ac cool, ac heat strip and microwave all from the economy idle setting. Really pleased with this purchase and look forward to setting up camp.

Fuel Level Indicator

New out of box. Fuel level indicator does not work properly. Only shows one indicator light, fuel tank was filled to about 3/4 full. Then filled to the red ring.Still only shows one fuel level indicator light. Hooked up heat lamp to generator and was running fine. Control Panel missing 2 bottom screws. 3 Stars because new unit was not 100%.

Very good value

Did extensive research on small portable generators. The iGen 2500 stood out as a very reliable model which should take care of my needs during a power outage. The generator appears to be well built, compact and light weight. The unit started on the second pull and is everything I expected. I look forward to using it the next time we loose power.

Easy to Start and quiet enough for rv

When the unit arrived, I tested the it on my circular saw which draws 15amps. And it had no problem starting the saw. I was impress how quiet the generator is and that it could crank out 2500 watts and still be the size of a 50# briefcase. Also it is very quiet, where you could talk to someone standing right next to it when it is under full load.

Love it's power and portability

It is not so heavy cosidering it makes 2,200 continues watts but it is noisier than expected (but it is not loud). You can still have a conversation next to it without shouting. Also, gas consumption is really awesome. The use I'm giving it provides me with 12 hours of use per 1 gallon of fuel.
