Have not had too long yet but my impression so far is it is going to work perfectly for my needs. I got it as a backup for my solar system on my RV. It is very quiet, simple to use and is very vibration free. If my Lithium battery runs low because of cloudy or rainy weather and the solar will not keep up, this unit charges the battery back up in no time. Also has very complete manual to make things easier. Even has a parts list if something goes wrong in the future.

It started right up and, after the recommended break-in, it easily powered my air conditioner, microwave and lights on my teardrop camp trailer. It's light weight, quiet and simple to operate. I like the fact that it has a 30 amp rv outlet (otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it) so this generator perfectly fits my needs.

Poured oil in, filled with gas, started on first pull! I ran it the first time for 9 hours (powering a large fan) and there's still gas left in it, so it appears the unit will operate on a single tank of fuel for a full work day, or full night depending on how you're planning to use it. My only criticism is: The side-panel you remove to access the oil dipstick and fill nozzle doesn't come off when you unscrew it, and theres NO handle or other physical features you can get a grip on to remove the panel... so you end up wondering what you're doing wrong, then when you get a flat screw driver to pry it off, the action damages the soft plastic housing. There needs to be a molded feature in the panel (or a handle strapped to it) so you can remove that side panel without prying it and causing damage to the housing. It's very quiet. Operating on the back patio you could barely hear it though the walls and (closed) windows).

The serial nr tag is not on the muffler cover as shown in your FAQ. Support advises this number on the cover is the serial number 25G0523B534. The lock on one side cover fell apart while running. The latch and screw are presumably under the engine/gen unit somewhere but I have been unable see it or shake it it out. Where can I get new latch parts?

We have had the igen2500 for a few years. We also have a large 55kw generator that connects to a circuit breaker panel. The large one is noisy, uses a lot of gas and some neighbors have had them stolen. These igens are nice, put them on our lanai, quiet and really good on gas. So we decided to add another, this time the 2550.

Just received and couldn't be happier. Recommend highly. Took a long time reviewing generators and this model was the best for my needs. Great price, plenty of runny watts, and quiet. Love the duel fuel. Just looking for a generator to use for home use when power goes out.

I have not used the generator yet but started it when I purchased it and was pleased with its small size and 2500 amp peak operation. It is not near as niosy as my last generator. Having been through 2 hurricaines and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I hope we never have to use it but I now feel prepared. My last generator was bigger but used fuel at a much more rapid rate. This will operate the window A/C we purchased for emergencies as well as lights and the all important coffee pot!

Never had a generator. Bought this before an incoming winter storm. Out of the box this generator was easy to set up and get running. Only complaint I have is filling the oil tank, the manual said many times don't overfill so I kept checking and checking until I used the whole bottle and finally the dipstick showed an oil level. Why not just say the bottle included is the right amount. After that put gas in and it started easily. Was able to plug in an appliance within a minute of it running. Works great. Definitely glad I made the purchase.

Really love the large oil dipstick (easy to find when no power in the dark) and the oil funnel included that screws in for less mess! Also love the easy access panels to get to all the insides. The display is the reason I bought this! So easy to read. My super handyman dad bought one of these years ago and I loved it so I had to buy one myself. The small improvements to my newer model are so impactful and thoughtful.

I purchased this generator for running a small air conditioning on a boat and as a backup generator to power essentials in my house in the event of an extended power outage. The igen2500 easily fits the bill. Its light, has plenty of power and is easy to start.
