Worked great on initial startup. I followed the storage procedures after letting it run for 1-2 hours from its initial startup. Started it up during a power outage; it was throttling high to low, and leaking fuel everywhere (likely a carburetor issue). Virtually a brand new engine that completely failed when I needed it. I am very disappointed at the poor quality of this machine.

We have our share of power outages. We needed a generator that produced clean electricity (inverter generator) and would run quietly for long periods of time without refueling. This generator is perfect for our use. We can run our refrigerators and freezers, and the TV. When the appliances are not running, it goes into ECO Mode and throttles down. It also starts very easily. This is the perfect fit for our needs.

Bought this earlier this month, and it arrived just in time for a power outage! Easy to get unboxed, add oil & gas - started on the second pull. Light enough to carry to my front doorstep for power; plugged it in and was extremely happy to have power throughout my outage!

This purchase gives me confidence that my family will be prepared for our occasional power outages. Our electric coop is not as reliable as we are used to. Last year, our power went out for three days. We had to borrow a generator so we didn't lose a side of black angus beef in our freezer. We knew we needed to buy our own. After looking at many and reading reviews, we settled on the iGen2200. Haven't had it long enough to make a full assessment. The only reason for the 4-star review is because you have to use a screwdriver to take the panel off to put oil in it. That is inconvenient.

I already have an old, large, inefficient, noisy generator and the family needed some relief while using it overnight especially when the electrical loads were small. This iGen2200 is very quiet. I appreciate how the RPMs and noise fluctuate based on load. At half load, it's exceptionally quiet. At full load, still reasonably quiet, and MUCH better than my existing generator. Also, I'm happy with the fuel efficiency, weight, funnel to add oil, etc. It's a joy to run and I wish I bought this long ago!

Bought this to run my pellet stove in the winter in case the power goes out.. will still have capacity to run refrigerator and charge phones. I have not ran it yet, but looks to be well built and most of the reviews I had read in researching this specific model were all good to excellent. Another reason for purchasing was due to the integrated USB slots as well as the ability to parallel another unit (the parallel cord is sold separately). Would be a good addition though...

Great value for the money, compact and light weight. After reviewing the manual and required maintenance I noticed there was no mention of the the small in-line fuel filter and any requirement for replacement. The fuel filter is a common small engine in-line filter that do require replacement over time. The placement of the fuel filter could also be in a better location for ease of maintenance since you will need to remove the air filter intake hose/feed in order to gain access to the fuel filter

This is an exceptional machine. With gas prices on the rise This tiny time powerhouse will give me a half a day of constant smooth running power . I am even able run aaser printer off of it.. love it love it love it. .I live in the city and I can run it through the night and it doesn't seem to bother neighbors at theeast

I just bought my new iGen2200 and was excited about my purchase. I carefully put the oil, added the gas and once I put it on CHOKE to start, it would kick in but never stabilize. I would give it over 30 seconds before switching it to RUN and then it would turn off. I was ready to call the 800 line but 7 hrs later it ran smooth. The next day, I tried turning it on and pull the cable and it would not start...After 2 hrs letting it rest, I was able to start it again. I am definitely having doubts about the reliability of the product.

So far so good. Purchased a 6 breaker transfer switch to go along with my iGen2200 so I could connect it to our home. The 6 breakers are used by our side-by-side fridge, 1000 watt microwave, kitchen lights (LEDs), family room (ceiling fan, lights, TV), master bedroom, and a bedroom with pool bath. I was able to turn all of those circuits on at the same time. Even had eco mode still on. The microwave was a but iffy to have running at the same time as everything. In a real power outage I would most likely turn off the fridge to help avoid an overload situation. I would also only turn on the circuits required vs. having them all on all the time. The one thing I cannot speak to is runtime. The next time we have an outage I'll be sure to keep tabs on it.
