Does what it is supposed to do!

I really like this thing. Brand new, after adding oil and fuel, it took about 5 or 6 pulls and it starts up. After a minute, I move the dial from choke to run and it stabilized nicely. Then I started adding some big ticket items like coffee maker, space heater and hot plate. Took em like a champ. So far, this little thing is just the ticket!

Quiet and Great Features

I bought this iGen2200 generator a few weeks ago and used it already a couple of times. It was easy to set up and started easily. It ran quiet - a big improvement over my other generator which is LOUD. It did the job I needed it to do and I am confident that this will last a long time and be my go to generator.

2nd purchase

This is the 2nd unit I've purchased in a year. they work great and are very quiet. We had a large power outage in July of this year, and this unit ran 3 freezers and our fridge. That's why I bought another one ,Also bought a parallel cable to run 2 at once

Nice, Quiet and Powerful

This unit is solidly made. I am amazed that they can sell it for as low of a price as it goes for. I have used the unit for about 10 hours. I measured the wattage output and ran the unit with a hair dryer, lamp and a standard coffee maker. It handled the 2000 watts I threw at it very well. The noise level was reasonable and very quiet when no load is applied. As you increase the load, then it increases it's rpms and gets a little louder but overall not that loud to where it becomes a nuisance.

purrs like a lion

I bought this to prepare for power outages as a result of potential hurricanes. It's easy to use, light weight, and fairly quiet. Considering those details, it supplies a surprising amount of power. I set it up and ran it to give it a test run and it was a breeze. It started on the first pull and has been powering my refrigerator for over an hour since then. The reason I chose this over a normal generator is for the lower fuel consumption. The significant reduction in size, weight, noise, and ability to safely power electronics with it is a really nice bonus though. This particular product feels high quality and I feel that the benefits gained are worth the extra cost compared to a standard generator, although this particular one is very nicely priced as opposed to some others.

So far, so good

Recent purchase from 09/2020, very limited usage so I've only given it 4 stars until I get some more run time. Starts easily, runs smooth at eco (no load) speed, seems well built, have only ran it about 15 minutes with a load, no issues. Fairly quiet on eco, it is much louder with a load, as you would expect from a gas engine running at it's peak.

Started on first pull.

I will be using this to power my camper and to power an electric grass trimmer. I just received this generator. I took it out of the box put in oil and filled the gas tank. Gave one pull of the rope and it started! Without being under load, it runs smoothe and quiet.

Compact & easy to start

This is my first generator. It starts easily & stores well. I have no comparison, but holding a conversation when standing next to it would be uncomfortably loud. For camping or tailgating, I would want a decently long cable to stand further from the noise.

Extremely Quiet & Efficient

Very pleased with this purchase. The iGen2200 is very quiet when running and even more so when in eco mode and generating only the power necessary to power the connected devices. Small and lightweight to carry for camping or anywhere really. Great value for the small investment.
