Loved how quiet it is

I bought it recently and used it to keep refrigerator working during power outage. It's nice and small and at 77 years old, I can carry it where I need it. We have two children living in town and we share with whoever needs it. Again its quietness is important as we live in a condo association. I also like having the Eco mode although I didn't use it this time with the fridge, I'm looking forward to trying it on the proper load.

Best I have seen

I bought two of these iGen2550 Generators for my Travel Trailer. Would have preferred one bigger one however after two back surgeries I am limited on how much I can lift. After doing much research, I think these are the best and here's why. First off, they run in parallel with out having to purchase and hook up a separate device. They both came with parallel wires at no extra cost. They each have a full 30 amp. Trailer Plug In. So, no need for an adapter. They are very lightweight. I can carry both at the same time (if needed) I usually carry one at a time with no problem. They have a plastic screw in funnel to fill the oil tank (others are hard to fill or top off without spilling a mess) used and replace oil with out spilling a drop. They come with the exact amount of oil needed (no need to carefully measure) They have one knob to turn for starting, running and shutting down. They made the outside in a way the handle lays flat in a formed spot on the side panel. The dashboard is bright and shows amount of fuel level by just looking at the control panel. Both started quickly and ran perfect. I use them in parallel so I can run my Air Conditioner in my Trailer. I just spent six weeks traveling Florida and used them frequently. They each come with a tool kit and everything needed to start using. I would definitely buy them again. I gave them 4 Star because I wish they had wheels, however they are light enough to not really need them.

Long term backup for wood furnace fan

I specifically bought the generator to have a long-term backup for my small wood furnace fan for long winter power outages. It was easy to set up and the instructions were easy to follow. A 100# propane tank will provide multiple days of backup power, and the propane doesn't need to be refreshed each year. I tested the generator to power the fan, and it worked very well. The generator will also be useful for purposes such as camping and working at remote locations.

Put gas in it and started on First pull ~ ~ ~

I had an older Coleman 4000, it worked fine but it was Just too Loud.. I like this Quiet one and my Wife can start it easy also. Nice easy to pull recoil. Cool Camouflage look. Plenty of power for Camping and Power outages. I Saved money over the Honda I was going to get. Love it ...

nice little generator

Bought this right before a camping trip. Wanted to use it to run some fans and charge phones in the tents. worked well. nice and quiet. I like that the control panel is lit up by LED lights. makes finding it in the dark easier. did quit a couple of times on me, but the oil must have been right at the shut off level. added a little more oil and worked the rest of the trip.

Great generator, small and quiet package

This is my first generator. I was very impressed by how small unit is and easy to carry. After filling it with oil, it took two or three pulls and it started right up. Doesn't ever take more than two pulls to start now she's broken in. The build quality is excellent and it's very easy to open the panels for oil access and maintenance. Comes with a spark plug tool and parallel cables. Highly detailed manual and wiring diagram very impressed, highly recommend. Even powered to our leaf blower and still wasn't at full capacity.

iGen2550c

We have used the iGen2550c twice since buying it two months ago. After the brake in and minor usage we ran it for 11 hours straight while upgrading our electrical in the house. Last night we ran it for 10 hours straight after a vehicle accident near by. Both times the machine ran flawlessly. At this time it has 29 hours on it.

Versitility

A really good backup power source with the option of using either gasoline or propane. It's not as lightweight as one would think, especially after filling the tank with gas. Have not had a chance to check out all of the features yet, but soon will. It's an ideal time to purchase prior to Spring and stormy weather.

Light Weight Inverter Generator

This inverter generator is relatively light and easy to use. It stars on the first couple of pulls. The data center provides all the information you want. Voltage, frequency, runtime, fuel level and much more. I can confidently recommend this product!

Generator for mom

My husband bought one of these for us, and I bought this generator to power my mother's furnace and sump pump. She has had some power outages recently at her house and I worry about her when the weather is cold. This unit starts very easily and it's light enough for me to lift and carry to wherever I need it. I like the fact that if we need to power additional loads, we can parallel the two units and deliver more power. We verified that the parallel hookup works well and splits the load automatically.
