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.

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.

Even more compact than I thought it would be. I performed 1hr break-in and oil change. Started first pull. There are plenty of youtube reviews talking about the iGEN2500. Will run travel trailer 13k AC unit (according to youtube vids). I'm still in break-in period, but so far i'm very impressed.

I purchased almost 2 months ago. Wanted to be able to plug in my refrigerators in case we ever lose power. Finally got to open the box. Right away, you can tell that it's made well. Filled up the fluids. It started up on the second pull. Plugged in a 1500 watt heater and no issues running. Of course this heater consumed over half of the available wattage that the generator puts out. The wattage consumption that this heater uses is equivalent to the 2 refrigerators and 1 freezer that I need to power in case of a power outage. A little older than I expected, especially when there's a load. Overall, very happy with the purchase. Hope I don't ever have to use it, but if I do, I'm confident that it will do the job.

Just received today. Directions on first startup was simple and direct. Like the nice compact size and it runs a lot quieter than we thought. We were excited that it contains 2 USB ports! We now feel more secure having bought this inverter generator!

I have bought the iGen2500 for emergency use when the power goes out. Mostly for fall/winter to run the heat and some lights. So far the generator performs flawlessly and has been easy to use. All I had to do to get it setup was to add oil (included) and gas (you provide). I like the power and the light weight. It is a quiet generator too.

First time using any generator so not much to compare to but seems to run very well and isn't too loud by my amateur observations. Have yet to put any load on it as I'm currently breaking it in, but will report back if I have any issues. Not too heavy to lift, even when full of fuel.

Unboxed, pleased to find oil and tools enclosed. Package arrived in good shape. Read the quick start guide, added the oil and filled tank with gas. Pulled one time to get some oil circulated, turned to choke and started first pull! Used about 30 minutes trimming a large hedge, ran great.

I am converting a cargo trailor to a camping trailor. I have a Westinghouse 3,000 max watt solar generator with 400 watts of solar pannel. My new gas powered 2,800 watt generator will keep me charged when the solar pannels can't, And run my A/C. Thanks for making exceptional products!!!

I have used my son in law's iGen2500 generator several times now (I just bought myself an iGen2500 and haven't started it up yet). The generator has always started without issues, is relatively quiet, and has power, voltage, fuel level, and time remaining indications which are very convenient.
