5 out of 5 stars review

It saved our lives

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.

Good reliable power so far.

Purchased 7/2/23. Followed the start up instructions. Generator started up on the 2nd pull and provides power as intended. Only gripe-no number identified as the serial number. It's not where the manual said it is. Not where this registration page said it is either so I've listed the number below the bar code

Suprisingly quiet

Easy set-up and much quieter than expected. Easily quieter than my push mower. During break in period after about 3 hours I decided to change the oil. Oil was not as dark and dirty as I expected. Still under 20 hours of use, but very pleased with this purchase so far.

More power than most protable generator

I am going to use 2 generators to operate air-conditioner from my RV (13500BTU). It seems the starting AC without any issues and the generator has a lot of power. The potential concern so far I have is that the power consumption from both units is not equal (e.g., one showed 0.76 power and the other 0.32). I don't understand why unbalanced power happened under the paralleling operation when the westinghouse paralleling cable was used.

Easy to Start and Informative

As someone who bought the the iGen2200 in May 2017 and was satisfied with its performance to date, I expected great things from this set. It met my expectations and then some. Easy to start and a great interface telling me how much run time is left, fuel consumption and load %. Really good addition to my power generation group. Excellent timber finish too

Awesome generator

Really like this generator's size, weight, sound level and portability. Easy to start and quite powerful for its size. The fact that it has dual fuel capability is a plus. Personally I like using it running on propane. Good for home power outage, tailgating and camping. Hope to have it trouble free for several years. After break-in and running approximately 25 hours I gave it its first oil change and used a synthetic oil. In my opinion it is smartly designed. Truly wish it had an hour meter though to track its usage for oil changes and other maintenance,

Easy to set up

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.

Easy to start and quiet

We use this unit for our 5th wheel and so far it has met expectations. I tested it with my wife's blow dryer and it handled it fine. Hopefully it performs just as well when it is 90 plus degrees and I have to use the air conditioner. The blow dryer is 1800 watts so I don't forsee a problem. This unit was half the price of a Honda and has a higher output rating.

Easy to set up and with dual fuel

I just received the generator, read the instructions, attached a propane tank, and started. It took several pulls, but when it did start, it was quiet and ran smoothly. With propane as a fuel source, I do not have to worry about draining the gas. It will be ready when I need it.

Easy to start when cold, easy on fuel

There is not a firm detent for the run position. The motor surged while I hunted for the optimum position for the switch. After a total of 5 hours run time, the motor still missed a beat every few seconds under light load. The weight is light for the maximum output available, the readouts are good to have, noise level is appropriately low. While in economy mode the engine appropriately speeded up when a heavier load was applied.
