Great unit

Purchased this iGen 2500 for our rv and am looking forward to it. It has 2200 running watts and 18 amps. More than the other 2500 watt units out there, the ones I looked at have approximately 1850 running watts. I feel I am getting more unit for approximately the same weight as the other brands. Have only started breaking in so far.

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.

Nice portable power unit

I used this unit this past weekend and it was able to handle a circular saw and a jig saw connected to it and the power consumption never went above 25%. Appears to be a powerful unit. Giving it five stars for now but I'll have to see how it holds up over time.

Igen2500

Very happy with this generator. I have 8hrs on it as of now. During the 5hr brake in this machine preformed grate. I used two 1500w electric heaters verging the load from 25%to50%then no load at all. It ran grate and got more power as it got closer to 5hrs after that i could run one heater at 1500w and the other at 700w with 75%load. Today I plugged it into my house and ran my boiler garage furnace two fridges and my sump pump with no problem. So far i love it.

Great for boondocking

Just bought this as a backup when boondocking. We have solar panels to charge the batteries on the trailer, but I wanted a backup. Planning a trip this month and it may still be hot so after break-in I tried running the A/C while on generator and it worked just fine!

Quiet, light and great features

I bought this generator due to the unreliable Texas grid. This generator will pay for itself next time Texas is in the dark for 3 days. Great features like USB charging ports, digital fuel guage, and wattage meter! Highly recommended and great price!

Tremendous product for the price

I purchased the IGEN 2500 because I was GC of my own house build and needed power on the site until the power company brought in my power cable. This unit was amazing. It never failed to impress. I plan on buying another one so I can parallel them in the event of a power outage.

great portable generator

I recently purchased the iGEN2500 for emergency use and ease of portability. it arrived days earlier than projected in perfect condition. Start up instructions were clear and simple...started easily with the very first pull after installing the supplied oil and my gasoline. Very smooth running and quiet. So far I have run shop lights, work lights, and circular saw at the same time...absolutely no problem. Very pleased.

Compact / Light

I bought this to replace a bigger older gen. It is just what I was looking for. Runs quit and weight is 48lbs. Tested out on my camper and will give it a better test when I can run the AC ( AC has a soft start on it) and see how it works then. Others have said they work great. Mr. Hess

great value, perfect for backup power when camping

I bought this generator to provide backup power for my 5th wheel travel trailer when shore power is not available and battery power is depleted. It is small enough for easy handling and powerful enough to handle my single largest load, the air conditioner. It is comparatively quiet but likely not the most quiet model available. But for the money, it is undoubtedly the best choice for my needs. After my initial testing, I am very pleased with this product.
