Big power, little package!

I ordered this generator to use with our slide-in camper. After adding the oil and gas, it fired up quickly. I have tested it on our camper microwave and A/C individually and this little unit never missed a beat. It's going to be a great asset to have along with us in our travels!

Very compact and light

I bought this a few weeks ago and I am just testing it out now. I like how compact it is and is light enough to put in the back of my SUV. It comes with the wire harness to connect to another unit which I have, a 2200 and they are compatible. The digital control panel is a nice feature.

Quiet and started first pull out of the box!

Excellent generator. The front display panel is great and a big improvement over the Honda my father has. I have used it a few times now just for testing, running the window AC I have in my garage and it handles that perfectly. The only gripes I have, and the reason I gave it 4 stars is that you have to open the side panel fairly often (to empty the fuel and check the oil level if you only use it occasionally) and there is no good way to grab it to pull it off. A small finger pull or handle molded into it would make this generator perfect.

Easy to start

I just received my IGEN 2500. Everything I needed to get it going was included in the box, including the oil. Started on the 3rd pull. Put an electric heater on it to test its output and everything worked perfectly. I bought it to provide safe, reliable power for operating my ham radio equipment off the grid.

Nice Backup

I bought this as an emergency backup and light boondocking for my travel trailer. It's got enough power to run the A/C and then some. Love that I don't have to carry around gas and in a pinch I can connect to a propane tank and be up and running. It's quiet enough and easy to use. Great unit.

Close to Expectations

My primary purpose in purchasing a generator is to have a relatively quiet power source for my RV's air conditioner system. This generator was recommended by a company that produces a "soft start" product to enable small generators to start the AC compressor. The generator performs as expected. I am delighted to be able to run my AC! It is a bit louder than I anticipated, but nothing I can't live with.

Good generator for class B use

Bought generator to run Winnebago Roam Class B RV - AC and electrical load runs about 1400 demand - generator has been tested twice for over 5 hours with load running 1400 to 1900. Both times generator went to overload within 10 min so not sure yet why but kept running and after reset button pressed, operated without issue for remaining time. Downside is that the propane and gas does not switch automatically if one runs out. I have the WEN 4500 dual fuel inverter generator and it switches automatically from one to the other in case you run out of one in the middle of the night. The big plus is that this generator weighs less than 50 lbs and used less than a gallon of gas running overnight. Also this generator has nice bright lights on the panel. So, 4 stars for me. Put in the auto switch between fuels and it would be a solid 5 stars. Would recommend given my limited one week of experience.

Easy to load and unload from truck, starts on first pull

Purchased it for a camping trip to charge all camera equipment, batteries, laptop and fans. Camping in 100+ degree weather and used it to power industrial fans to help keep cool. I'm really impressed with this portable iGen2500. Next power outage / NO PROBLEM

Good Quality

It is well built. The unboxing was good. It came with everything I needed, oil, funnel, a small tool kit, cables to run it in parrallel with another. I fired it up on propane with no problem. I plugged in my air compressor and the rpm's came up just as advertised. It has an ECO MODE. I'm not sure how that operates yet. i will do some reading.
