Quiet and versatile

I use this product to power a travel trailer. I liked it so much I bought another to hook up in parallel to power the air conditioner. The Efficiency mode works great to save fuel and run quietly when the load is lower. The data display is great showing the output and the fuel remaining. Great value!

First Inverter Generator - Awesome

This was my first generator I have ever purchased and It seems to be a great one. I looked at a lot but I decided on this because, of the price point, features and postive reviews I have seen. I really like that this has two outputs where a lot seem to just have one. The unit is fairly quiet and you can forget its there. Its not to heavy to carry around and feels very sturdy. Instrusctions are clear and all the information is on the unit as well such as oil type and other specs. Very glad I went with this one!

Does Not Run on Gas Fuel

The unit doesn't run on gasoline. Runs perfectly fine on propane, just doesn't turn on with gas. I tried switching from propane to gas while running and it just dies after a few seconds. Something's wrong with gasoline fuel flow. I don't believe they do any quality test with gasoline since it never worked with gas right out of the box.

Great Generator

Bought the generator and I am extremely happy. The directions were excellent. Everything to start and use the generator was included. Directions were easy and she started right up. Ran for a long time with no interruptions. Powered my AC unit in my camper which I am thrilled about. For the weight and size this generator is awesome and perfect for my needs. Glad I bought it...very happy!

Runs only for a few seconds

Brand new unit right out of the box, built 11/24. The box and unit looks clean and in good condition. Set it all up per the manual. The unit starts, adjust choke, engine sounds healthy, says it's providing power, then within a few seconds (no load) it shuts down. I have only tried running off of propane since that is the only way I intend to use it. Checked the air filter, oil level, the carb drain, the fuel and air connections all look solid, spark plug is fine just a bit under the .8mm gap. The propane regulator seems to be working as far as I can tell. This model has thousands of good reviews online, so probably just a defect. Will be going through the warranty process.

This generator is real easy to start 2 pulls enough power

I received my IGen2500 3-10-18, unpacked it, read manual and added oil. 3-11-18 filled fuel tank and started it on 2nd pull. Plugged in my trailer and immediately turned on 2 800w heaters generator ran great no trouble. Turned them off and fired up my 13.5 btu air conditioner and no problems on coolest setting and highest fan setting not a sputter for 1 hour. I wanted to see how much more power it had so I turned on 1 of my heaters, in about 30 sec the over voltage light flashed and in about another 30 sec did it again so i turned off the heater. Tomorrow I will try Air conditioner and refrigerator.

Great value.

Has the power & all other options of Honda inverter, but much lower price. Good 3yr warranty. Easy to understand instructions. Best of all this generator is under 50Lbs and thus light enough for me to pick up by myself and put in trunk of a small car.

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.

Super quiet!

I cannot believe how quiet this generator is. It has an eco mode that allows the engine to run quieter as it adapts to power required of it. LOVE the digital screen telling me how much time I have left too! We ran about 20 LED lights a gas oven, several computers, monitors and a T.V. and more and it would last over 8 hours on one tank! I couldn't believe it! Super happy with this purchase.

Kept my home going after tornado

This is the first generator that I have owned. I bought it shortly after a tornado came through our town, and my house was without power for a few days, with no prediction of when it get back on. I was able to run my refrigerator and chest freezer off of this, as well as keep my family's devices charged with little fuss. So far, this as been easy to maintain, and easy to start up.
