Arrive well before initial date. I can only comment on the product out of the box. Well thought out design and has a small kit, (Screw Driver/Spark plug wench), funnel and motor oil. Engine service cover is secured by two screws and very tight fitting grommets and posts. Added the oil without spillage due to the design of the funnel. Recommend you to keep the motor oil bottle, (refill) and funnel on hand for future usage. Spark plug access does not fit as well as I think it should, however this will not hinder the performance. Recommend using only non-ethanol premium fuel only. Performance is to be seen as this current writing will not be very helpful in that aspect.

I bought this generator a month ago to deal with anticipated power outages. Luckily I wasn't faced with any so the unit is still in new condition. I sized it to handle my boiler primarily but it can also handle my entertainment center (FiOS cable boxes, router, modem, TV) as well as some lights. I'm considering having a transfer switch installed so I can choose other circuits to power in case I need to run an AC or refrigerator instead of the boiler.

It is always a challenge not to interfere with neighbors, and this generator will aid in maintaining positive relations. Running a refrigerator and deep freeze barely effected the generator. I'm confident if necessary to run at length, powering home devices for our well fare will be met by this device.

Everything about purchasing the generator was easy, including the setup. The directions were clear (other than me not noticing there was a button for the digital display), and everything was included for the initial startup (even including a no drip funnel for the oil fill). Everything worked perfectly, and I was very pleased at how quiet it is.

The iGen2500 receives 5 stars as it it truly an excellent generator for the price. The documentation coming out of the box was very high quality and easy to follow. After reviewing the instructions, I filled it with oil and gas. It started on the first pull and is now "purring" away in my back yard. As with other reviewers, I am impressed with the quietness of the generator, and it will be a welcome addition to my camping experience from her on out.

Ran for a few hours varying the load (no more than 1/2) as recommended in the manual. The engine seems to be quiet enough but there is a high-pitched sound coming from the unit. I'm assuming this is from the generator itself and was hoping it would go away during the break-in period. Unfortunately, it hasn't so I'm not able to give this unit a higher rating.

Generator started out of the box onthe 3rd pull. Runs great. This generator will provide me with all I need for a portable generator. Weight is 48 lbs, which is a great weight for a 2500 watt gen. Instructions are thorough. Comes with the exact amount of oil to fill with plus a nice funnel. Runs very quiet. So far this has been a great choice.

Bought this product this week. Instructions were easy to follow. Display panel is helpful. Oil in the exact amount is provided and the container can be reused for the next oil change. I plan to use this generator for home power outages. Primary applications will be powering furnace, refrigerator and cell phone charging. I find unit is nicely package and easy to look at.

I had very excellent experience while starting up the generator. It is very quiet and easy to understand its operation. Manual is very easy to understand. It started up for the first time with just three tries and handle the loads efficiently. Small enough for easy carrying on my truck and for storage. I highly recommend you purchase this generator

I just got it today. I will go through the beak in process starting tomorrow, Filled it with Oil and added gas, It started on the 3rd pull. Next week I will see how the two 2500's perform on my travel trailer. it has a 13,500 BTU AC unit. We will see how they perform. I have 64 hours on our other IGen 2500 so its ready to go, Just changed the oil, cleaned the air filter. All we have to do is add fuel!
