This generator came in time after experiencing almost two months without any electricity or water after hurricane Maria destroyed most of Puerto Rico. Not only has it been giving us some extra comfort with powering or essential house appliances like our fridge and fans, but it has been great on the gas economy and a low noise profile. Thanks again for such a great product.

This is the second generator of a 2 generator set. I plan to purchase a paralleling cable to tie both gens together for more power while dry camping. Plan is to run a 13,500 BTU A/C, the build-in 12V battery charger, and a microwave/coffee maker/hair dryer (pick one). It pretty much loads up the 30 amp cable. The 2 gens together should provide 30 Amps+. Wife is happy that she will not be power limited or at least no more limited then she already is. I am happy that I can lift the units and put them in the back of the truck. One problem is the paralleling cable is out of stock and backordered. Should be in in a few weeks. BTW the second IGen ran fine. Still need to order a rain tent.

I am using this generator to power my travel trailer. I added oil and gas to it and it started on the third pull. Plugged the power cord from my travel trailer into the generator after letting it warm up for a couple minutes. I turned on everything in the trailer and the generator ran fine and was very quiet. I could not hear it from inside the trailer.

Did warm up period just fine Took to 8K ft elevation and really needed to top off oil to allow to function without oil sensor shut off. But worked fine with oil at over flow level at dip stick oil add port. Used torpedo level to level out generator in both planes.

When power was going to be out for 24+ hours we pulled the trigger and bought the generator. It was easy to setup came w/ the oil needed. While we had the power outage I powerd two fridges, two Fans and a ton of electronics. The generator was less than 50% power I love the LED display telling you what the generator is doing no need to guess.

Just unpacked this product after receiving it from UPS. Straightforward instructions and packaged with everything needed except fuel. The unit is lightweight and very portable. Access doors on sides make getting to engine much easier than my old Honda Eu2000. Pay attention to run/ choke/ off settings as choke is all the way at end of the 4 options, not before run setting. Unit is quiet and the led display is easy to read.

Just bought the iGen2550DFc generator for emergency use and possibly for camping. The unit was a little bigger than I imagined. At idle, no load, the noise was reasonable but it got louder than I expected with 1kW heater. I only tested with propane, however. I was able to get close to 1800 Watts before the overload kicked in. For emergency use, it was good enough for the price. For camping, it may be a bit loud.

So far this generator seems to live up to it's good reputation. It's easy to use, and seems at least a little bit quieter than comparable generators. My only complaint was that filling the oil is a MESS. The funnel it comes with has lots of grooves for oil to get stuck in, and you're supposed to take the funnel out and check the oil level repeatedly as you fill it. It would be nice to have a cleaner way to accomplish this task. We'll just use a regular funnel next time.

We like everything about this generator except that it doesn't have a gauge showing fuel/ time remaining like the 2550c model. The propane ports are in place of the gauge. It would be nice to have both. Not a deal breaker. It works as expected, and it's nice to have the propane and gas options to run it.

The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I put in the included oil and put about a quart of gas into the tank. The generator started on the fourth pull and settled down into a smooth rhythm within a minute or so, after adjusting the on/choke knob. For the initial test run, I didn't run anything with high amps and only connected a large floor fan, which ran perfectly. The generator ran for over two and a half hours on the quart of gas, and I let it run down completely to avoid any residue which might affect later starts. I measured the decibel volume between 44 dB to 58 dB, measuring from 25 feet away to an inch or two away, and in both eco mode and regular run mode. The generator is very quiet and can only be heard faintly in the house on the side it was located, but it couldn't be heard at all in the bedrooms or upstairs. The information display is easy to read. My only criticism is that the serial number could be placed in a more accessible location, which has nothing to do with the performance.
