Looks good right out of the box

I purchased two IGEN2500 with the parallel cable as a multi-use backup power system. I can use these for powering tools while working on my boat, for camping, etc. The parallel system plugs right into my transfer switch when I need it. I spent a lot of time researching inverter generators before I settled on these. I'll update this review as I learn more.

I am happy with product but could not get free cover for registration because would not accept link. so now I had to leave a review to registrar product but don't get free cover. I don't like being coerced into providing all kinds of info to be able to registrar a product. please contact me so you can send me my free inverter cover.

Happy Camper

I went camping for the very 1st time on a primate site. All other times have been on sites with water & electricity hookup. I'm very happy with the purchase. I typically don't reserve primate sites but if I do in the future I'll have this if I need it.

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.

Light weight

So far what i Like about the unit it small compact light weight with rubber feet . Perfect for camping to power my AC . Using propane give my about 1500-1600 watts of power to push my 800 watt ac plus anything else i need . Its the perfect camping unit ive seen so far in the market

Packed with features

Bought this to run our lighting and portable laser in our custom laser trailer and could not be happier. I intended to make an enclosure to dampen sound, but this unit is so quiet I didn't need to. I was shocked when I turned on eco mode and it got quieter still! Obviously eco mode is load dependent, but when I'm just running lights I barely hear the generator outside. Quality is outstanding, the product looks good visually, and it starts up on the first pull. It's light enough that my wife can move it around by hand even with a full tank.

Dead on arrival

I followed the instructions for a quick start up but after 20 min of pulling the cord. I began my own troubleshooting. Removed spark plug an found good spark but no fuel reaching spark plug. Removed access panel an noticed that choke cable not connected at carb. I connected it and unit started one pull. I believe unit was tested on propane and not gasoline. Because of choke cable design it could not have been connected at factory. Please send me a cover for unit. Ps. Because of my small engine training I solved problem. Otherwise it would have been returned Kevin Burke

Packaged well with clear instructions.

I bought this recently and still in the recommended break-in period. So far all is well. This generator was well packed and all supplied information is clear. It also came with a few accessories plus the oil for the first fill. I like the information center on this unit as my other generator does not have such a feature. This unit has a bit more output too. 20amp circuit compared to 15amp circuit on similar sized models.

Great generator

Just purchased this generator, used for a full day and was impressed with how easy it was to setup and get started. The unit was nice and quiet, and uses very little gas. The manual is very detailed and easy to understand. My daughter bought one also and was able to get it up and running herself without any problems. I would recommend this for anybody not wanting to wrestle a large heavy unit.

iGEN2500

Very nice generator. Relatively quiet. Nice display. Rubber feet work well for vibration. Drain hose for carburetor is a good feature to keep the carb clean. Cover for outlets is a little cumbersome but a must-have feature. I have not come close to full load, but it seems to work well.
