easy start up operation

I got the IGen2500 for emergency electrical power. Very clear instructions on how to start up and operate. Easy pull to start. Only gave it 4 stars since haven't used it except to have it prepared. Will provide another review after I've tested it for a longer period.

Excellent design, easy operation

I purchased the iGen2500 to get me through a couple of power outings sure to happen this winter. I've tested it several times and am very pleased with how quiet it is. Also the helpful LED display is easy to read and understand. I tested it in the field to run an electric hydraulic log splitter and to power a heater and a wet vac in my garage. I used the USB port to charge my phone just to make sure it worked during other tests. It is easy to start, easy to maintain, and I confidently recommend this generator.

Powerhouse in Small Package

I purchased this to use for emergency RV power. Tried less powerful models and they would not start the AC. This unit worked as long as I ran it on "regular" not ECO. on ECO it couldn't catch up to the demand fast enough. I have only used it once for an hour so I cannot yet attest to the durability - but it seems to be just what I need.

Works

Just purchased the iGen 2500 on 8/7/21. Had a storm on 8/13/21, and lost power. Directions were really easy to put in service, used it for about 5 hours and it worked like a charm. I was able to run the fridge, 2 fans, lamp, charge my phone with no problem.

First Day Review with Small RV AC

Setup was fairly easy, but oil fill is behind cover that requires Philips screwdriver to remove. Added a little gas and it started after three pulls. Connected to my RV with a Coleman Mach 10 13.5k BTU AC. Turned the AC on low (~1kw draw) and iGen showed 50% load on eco mode. Using Android Sound Meter app, it was registering 82dB from over 6' away -- this is much louder than the advertised 52dB. If I disconnect all load, it does quiet down a bit.

Good value generator

This is my first generator, it is just the right capacity to keep us going during a power outage. It can be carried around and doesn't need wheels. I like all the features and ease of set-up. The owner's manual is very well written. I tried it out and couldn't believe how easy it started, first pull! Works good. I like that it can run for 10 hrs. on one gallon and has the load sensitive engine speed control. Also, the carburetor bowl drain is a nice feature.

Easy to use! Works great!

I bought this because I heard it was going to be a rough hurricane season. My little town of Douglas was demolished. This Generator has been a live saver and has ran multiple appliances. I will definitely buy another to pair with it! No regrets here!

Super Quiet

This Generator is amazingly quiet for the size and power it puts out - I used it to power my boat's ac system when my onboard generator went out and it not only supplied more than enough power for it but was super quiet while doing it to let me sleep peacefully

Awesome size and power

Bought this generator last week. Very impressed with the size and ease of use. Instructions are very simple and easy to follow. Would highly recommend this generator for anyone looking for a powerful little machine that's also compact and portable.

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.
