This generator is real easy to start 2 pulls enough power

I received my IGen2500 3-10-18, unpacked it, read manual and added oil. 3-11-18 filled fuel tank and started it on 2nd pull. Plugged in my trailer and immediately turned on 2 800w heaters generator ran great no trouble. Turned them off and fired up my 13.5 btu air conditioner and no problems on coolest setting and highest fan setting not a sputter for 1 hour. I wanted to see how much more power it had so I turned on 1 of my heaters, in about 30 sec the over voltage light flashed and in about another 30 sec did it again so i turned off the heater. Tomorrow I will try Air conditioner and refrigerator.

Easy to start and quiet

We use this unit for our 5th wheel and so far it has met expectations. I tested it with my wife's blow dryer and it handled it fine. Hopefully it performs just as well when it is 90 plus degrees and I have to use the air conditioner. The blow dryer is 1800 watts so I don't forsee a problem. This unit was half the price of a Honda and has a higher output rating.

Starts so Easy !

Bought this to power-up my pop up camper this hunting season . Filled it with oil and gas , it was running on first gentle pull ! Wow ! Using it on and off around the house , to get the first tank of gas through it , but it isn't using much gas so it will be awhile before I'll know how long it will run on a tank . So Far so good !!!

Quiet, great features.

I bought the iGen2600 in May in preparation for hurricane season. This was my primary reason, and I also wanted a small, quiet generator to use for camping trips. Because of the Covid-19 situation, I haven't had the opportunity to fully put the little generator through it's paces, but so far I am very impressed! After filling with oil and fuel it started right up with one pull, and ran very quietly and smoothly, powering several small appliances. I especially appreciate the LED data center which makes keeping an eye on fuel levels, power usage and maintenance schedule a breeze. If possible, I will update my review after using the generator more extensively, but right now, I am extremely happy with my purchase!

Great little generator

Used this on a few camping trips so far and it has been nothing but excellent. I do recommend you change the oil 4 times during the break in period so it is clean of metal shavings and set for a long run life. Super quite and sips on gas. starts on every first pull after break in period and me and my wife just love it.

Just what I needed.

I purchased the IGEN 2500 in order to run a 11000 BTU air conditioner in a Airstream trailer because it's wattage was enough plus it is small enough and light enough to fit in the truck bed well of my new Honda Ridgeline truck. My initial opinion is favorable plus I know that it only has to last half as long as Honda and Yamaha to compare at the pricepoint that it is selling.

Super quite and adorable

I use a generator on weekends to run four 500watt lights for flounder gigging. I can have normal conversations on the boat while running generator all night, instead of shouting like I've had to do in the past. Not to mention it's about half the price of some brands that offer the same things ( light weight,quite, etc)

quieter than expected

I purchased this generator in case of a power outage if we get a hurricane. setup was easy. Started right up. Quiet! Ran it under load and I love the amp meter display showing the load. I can test check all that I want to run prior to having to use it in an emergency.

iGEN2500

Very nice generator. Relatively quiet. Nice display. Rubber feet work well for vibration. Drain hose for carburetor is a good feature to keep the carb clean. Cover for outlets is a little cumbersome but a must-have feature. I have not come close to full load, but it seems to work well.

Quality machine with nice features

Generator was delivered today. Ran it in for 30 minutes to check operation. Operated flawlessly. Ran my table saw - it used 25% of the generator's capacity. The LED info panel is great! It's good to have that information. Let it run out of fuel and drained the carb float bowl - the drain valve and hose are a really nice touch. This is our hurricane generator. Hopefully, we'll never need it again.
