Should do the job

I bought this to use with our 5th wheel when we can't connect to power. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but I tested it out and it seems to work great. I was hoping it would be a little quieter but it isn't too bad. Looking forward to using it on the road.

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

Just what we need for power outages

We tested this out and were able to ensure it can power our freezer, fridge, and maybe a few extras like the WiFi or one TV. Our most recent summer power outage made us realize we need to find a way to preserve the contents of our freezer that doesn't involve taking the entire freezer to someone else's house till the power comes back! This generator is perfect without being overkill.

Works for me.

Haven't used it yet but set up was easy, access to oil and spark plug no problem. Started after several pulls but just hummed after that. Much cheaper than a Honda but might be just a little bit louder but not much. Also a 2500 w vs a 2200 w from Honda. Time will tell.

Lacking Rated Power - No Surge Power

Running my camper through a Hughes Power Watchdog for voltage and amp reading. I can adjust my inverter maximum input power to load the generator to specific power outputs. Here are my results at ~ 35ft above see level @ 80F through ~25' of 10/3 SOOW. Running ethanol free 87 octane. - 119V at 17.3 amps genset reads 100% on the display (2058 Watts) - 118V at 18.5 amps genset reads 100% plus the overload light is on (2183 Watts) - As soon as I ramp up to 19 amps the genset disconnects on overload

Easy to operate

I just bought this generator. It was easy to set up & get started. I let it run a little while, it wasn't that loud, which isn't a big deal anyway since you have to run it in a garage or outside. It gives me piece of mind knowing I can charge my cell phone or run essential appliances in case of a power outage.

Great price started right up

Added oil and fuel. Turned the switch to choke start, pulled the recoil starter 3 times. Started right up. Moved the switch to run. After about 15 seconds ideal smoothed out. Proceeded with break in process by using the generator to run a small heater, which used 1,100 watts or 1/2 load for the generator. Ran for about an hour. WIll continue with the break in process. I'm very please with this little quite generator. Well made and quite.

Very impressive purchase

I received this, but had to wait several weeks before I could unpack and test it. It was very simple to set up by simply adding oil. I was very impressed when it started up on the very first pull. I hope it will start this easy when the power goes out and is needed for power backup.

Lightweight and quiet

Purchase the igen2500 to use around our property trimming bushes, trees, etc. I have been using a different generator that requires two people to lift into and remove from the back of our RTV. Setup is easy. Just turn it to choke and started on second pull...very happy...

Quality

I am so happy with this product. In the last year I have bought many different brands of generators and sold them as I discovered problems. This is is by far my favorite. It is small, fuel efficient, and it has a data screen! I am all for small inverter generators that use fuel sparingly instead of having massive units that go through fuel to quickly in a disaster.
