Reliable generator at a great price

This generator provides great peace of mind knowing that we can keep not only freezers and furnace running during a power outage but also internet equipment and other sensitive electronics.This generator has proven to handle all the critical loads on numerous occasions. Highly recommended.

Great Inverter Generator

I just picked up this generator today. Upon trying to lift the box I thought it was heavy, but after getting it unpacked I found it was very easy to carry around. Set up was very easy, and the oil funnel that actually screws into the oil access is a great touch. It started right up and ran great! I am looking forward to a long useful life out of this equipment. It replaces a larger generator that was too heavy to move around.

Ran for 12+ hours continuously without any issues

After re-attaching the throttle cable that somehow came loose during the bumpy ride to the campsite, the unit started up and remained on throughout the duration of the day. It ran flawlessly. The noise level at first seemed higher than expected, but that's due to being next to the unit. Once it's placed in a designated area and you go about your other tasks you hardly notice that it's on.

Awesome Little Genny

We got this to make sure we could safely power our electronics and some essential items in the event of a prolonged outage. Setup is super simple, and they aren't kidding when they talk about how quiet it is. It's also super efficient, it ran for a half hour purely on what was in the carb bowl. Great product!

Superb Little Generators

I have had a iGen2200 since around 2018 and decided to order another, the 2550 Dual Fuel because from my experience with the 2200, they are awesome. Being dual fuel is a plus as well. Use my older 2200 all the time for random projects. Just went through Hurricane Milton and lost power for a few days. Used the 2200 to run a small window A/C unit, a deep freezer, small little fridge, and TV. Ran constantly for 3 days flawlessly. Saved us for sure. Thus, upgrading and purchasing the 2550 for us was a no brainer. The newer 2550 has all the outlets and buttons covered from moisture and is designed great with easy access to all the areas for maintenance. I havent had a chance to use this newer 2550, but from my experience with the 2200, we are going to love it!

Igen 2550

I have had this generator for about 2 months.I use this for Camping. It has enough juice for our lights and Air Conditioner no problem.It is quiet. I went to a music festival that only allowed 56db and i never got that aweful knock during the night to turn it off.It is quieter then a generator. Great on Gas,I use seafoam every fillup i just get 5 Gallons of premium gas and mix the seafoam that way. The Led options are wonky as mine doesn't work correctly,but in no way does it affect the operation of the Genrator,Nor do I care about it! I have done the break in,i have changed my oil 4 times now. it runs like a dream!

Quiet and light`

Purchased this small generator for running basic appliances when camping off the grid. It will do the job as expected. It's quiet enough to hold a conversation (even when under load) and it's light enough for 1 person to lift and put it in the truck

Adequate quality of build

I bought a factory refurbished unit, so my expectations were tempered. The pull start pulls rather easily. However, on gasoline it takes me a number of tries to get it to start. It seems even more difficult to cold start on propane. But once it's started, on either fuel, it runs nicely and fairly quiet too in Eco mode under light load. The led panel lights are a nice touch.

Have not used but tested well

When you register this item it makes you provide a review to get a bonus item (cover). So this is what I can say after taking them out of the box today. They came in good shape, we did the pre test and they seem to work well. I will come back and up date the review after we use them on our first camping trip.

First Inverter Generator - Awesome

This was my first generator I have ever purchased and It seems to be a great one. I looked at a lot but I decided on this because, of the price point, features and postive reviews I have seen. I really like that this has two outputs where a lot seem to just have one. The unit is fairly quiet and you can forget its there. Its not to heavy to carry around and feels very sturdy. Instrusctions are clear and all the information is on the unit as well such as oil type and other specs. Very glad I went with this one!
