Impressive Generator

I've been breaking the Igen 2500 inverter in and so far I am impressed. It is quiet, fuel efficient, and able to power a nice load. I ran my fridge tv, wifi, cable, and box fan for 5 hrs this weekend without any issues. I still have over half a gallon of fuel left. This thing is going to come in very handy some day and when that day comes I will be ready.

lacking a few essentials for a camper trailer.

I purchased 2 of these generators. wanted to power up my camper, with the intent to parallel these units. These units do not have a 30 amp plug, which is one of the few that don't. It is much louder than advertised and you can run other brands next to it and not hear the other brand running. All in all, I would not purchase this product again, I would spend the extra money to get a quieter one.

Very Pleased So Far

I purchased 2 of the igen2500 generators for back up power. I haven't needed either so far, but I have started and broke in both generators via the instructions. Both have performed as expected so far. Because of the few review complaints of broken spark plugs and dirty fuel tanks, I thoroughly inspected both generators before starting and found no problems with either generator. Both started within a few pulls and easily handled the varying loads I used for break in. I especially liked the fuel level, run time and load features built into the electronic panel.

Great Little Powerhouse

We purchased this generator as an added feature to our van camper. We are planning on an extended trip out west, and will visit many places without electric hookup available. We chose this unit because of its compact size ,fuel efficiency, and quiet running specifications

Awesome little generator

Everything you need is in the box even screwdriver to remove cover. Oil funnel screws in, is clear plastic and has a rubber seal. This made putting oil in a breeze. and no mess. Filled with gas, set to choke, pulled cord one time and it was running. I like the digital display. Currently running the 5 hour break in. Unit seems well made. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this generator.

Easy start and not too loud

The generator starts and operates easily. All the tools needed for set-up and operation came with the product, including engine oil. The LED Data center is a nice feature to quickly see operational status. My needs for the generator are occasional recreation and electric tool use, plus emergency power for my refrigerator, a few lights and phone charging, in case of a power outage. The reasonable weight and noise level were important features for me. I think the product will serve these needs well. One negative, the Spark Plug Access Cover catch seems poorly designed and will not stay in place during operation. The cover vibrates loose during operation and can allow dust and weather to get in. I will try duct tape to keep it in place.

Very good after tightening the fuel drain screw

I just received this yesterday, put the oil in it, filled it up with gasoline, and it started up immediately. I was a little disappointed to see gas leaking out of the bottom of the generator after I shutting it off. Today after work I get home and go out to fire this up again to let it run without a load to help break it in. After about 20 minutes it starts to sputter and then quit running. I moved it from where it was sitting and noticed the grass underneath where it was sitting was soaked with gasoline again and also noticed it pouring out of the bottom of the case again. I took the service cover off to find that the carburetor drain screw was open all the way causing the fuel to drain from the carburetor while it was running and especially after the engine was turned off. I guess this goes to show the efficiency of the engine to be able to keep running while it wasn't even getting a solid flow of fuel. I haven't contacted their customer service yet to make them aware of the quality control issue but after reading other reviews I'm sure that process and their resolution will be up to any standards of good customer service. Things happen, mistakes are made and it's not the end of the world for sure, just a loose screw. I'm glad to have purchased this unit for the price I got it for and can't wait to get out with the camper and put this to some good camping use.

My first generator

Just bought this model mainly because of other reviews. Read directions added oil that was provided, filled it with gas turn on the unit and adjusted the control to choke. Pulled the cord three times motor started up. I was surprised that it really isn't that loud. I hooked up an outdoor heater to it, which draws 500watts then 1000 watts and finally 1500watts the generator reved up then leveled out at each stage. Still was quieter than most others I have heard! Simple to use, light weight and relatively quiet.

Nice small generator

I bought this as an emergency generator - hopefully like insurance it is there but will never need to use it. I have been shopping for one and did a lot of research. Compare to other generators in the same price range - this model has high running watts and more fuel efficiency. Also another key feature is the digital read out - give you an idea of remaining time, fuel level, load level. For someone doesn't run generator regularly this is very helpful and much needed.

So Far So Good

Generator arrived promptly after ordering. It had no physical damage and was packaged very good. I had not physically seen this generator before purchase and was pleased with how well it was built and features after unpacking. I have not put it into use yet and is why I only rated it 4 stars. After I use it, I will update review if I encounter problems
