Great little generator

Nice size/weight generator. Very quiet. Started on the very first pull and ran smoothly. Good features, easy to operate. My only dislike is the panel to the engine. It is held in by two screws which make it a pain to check the oil. Highly recommended

Camping plans!

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. We love to camp and the size and sound of this generator make use easy. After adding the oil, it took a half pull to start it right up. We look forward to the advantages this product will allow for short and long term camping trips as the weather warms up!

Easy to carry,easy to use

I bought this generator to use around my land where I don't have power. It runs drills, grinders, and lights when needed. Very quiet under light load and still good under heavy load and a great warrenty to boot. Better than all the other generators this size I looked at, and a great price. I wish that it had a 12 volt feature like most of the other ones do.

Way quieter than I expected

I'm very pleased so far. Shipping was faster than stated at purchase. It was very easy setup and use. Break in went smoothly and it is much quieter than I expected. The Eco setting is a nice feature. Overall happy with my purchase. Would definitely recommend!!

Quiet, easy to use AND option to double power.

After having a loud, hard-to-use generator I had a few key criteria for my next one. A key criterion was quietness. Another key purchase decision was the ability to STACK another one for double the wattage (I could not find another one with this option). After my last generator, I wanted something that did not require 50 steps to start. Easy instructions to start is important to me because when in a crisis, in the cold, etc - it needs to be easy to understand.

Great little generator.

What a great compact generator that is quiet for the power it provides. Was looking at Honda and Yamaha generator's thinking they were the only manufacturer that made a quiet unit, with a lot of comparisons the igen2200 was compatible and 1/2 the price. Put the included oil in the unit added gas and it fired right up…ran smooth.

powerful for its size

Purchased in Aug 2020; did some short load tests but haven't used it in an actual emergency yet. Only 46 pounds, easy to carry with one hand. The upgraded outlet covers are a nice touch. We originally thought we would need an iGen4200 or two iGen2200s in parallel to power what we need, but after this short test we think a single iGen2200 is powerful enough. It is indeed a quiet generator, but not nearly as quiet as the advertising would like you to believe. The nice thing about efficiency mode on an inverter generator is that it only runs the engine as much as it needs to power your devices. So when it is just idling with nothing attached, it is very quiet (still not 52dB even at idle, but quiet anyway). If you plug in a few cellphones or an LED lamp, it stays just as quiet. But as soon as you add a refrigerator or a sump pump or other appliance, it starts roaring like an airplane taking off. The maximum sound is still quieter than other generators, and it only stays loud as long as it needs to produce that much power, but you should know that you're not going to get 52dB in normal household usage.

Excellent buy at this price

Got a little nervous after reading some of the negative reviews but after getting it I was happy to find that it was all as advertised. It fired right up and after doing a proper break in and changing out oil as instructed it has worked flawlessly. Runs very quiet and compared to units twice as expensive I can see no diffeernce other than a reasonably priced product vs an overpriced version of the same thing. I would definitely recommend this generator.

Nice Machine

Generator came 6 weeks early and in great shape. I was afraid it would languish on a container ship all winter!! It was nicely packaged and directions were straight forward. Have not started it yet, I need to get fresh gas first! I'm sure it will be a smooth operator!

Amazingly Quiet!

I just got this generator. I put the oil and gas in and a few pulls later, it had started. And it is QUIET! I don't have anything to compare it to since I don't have any other generators, but this thing is amazing! FAR quieter than my relatively quiet lawn mower. I let it run for a few minutes and it ran very smoothly. On ECO mode, it's even quieter.
