First Impressions

Received my new iGen2500 in great condition. Everything ready to go, just add the oil that was provided. Started with first pull. Running quiet, minimal vibration. First impression was great. Will have to follow up when I have had a chance to put a few hours on it

Started up on the first pull

The inverter started up on the first pull. The box arrived through the USPS in great condition (no damage). Once unpacked, I filled the crankcase with oil, turned the knob to the choke position and gave it a pull. It started on the first pull. The inverter ran great and was nice and quite. The build quality, the materials used and the fit and finish are great. At this point I am very happy with this purchase.

Great for power outages...

We were able to connect a freezer, refrigerator, tv, internet, security system, and a fan. Got us through two days without power. Started on the first pull and ran quiet through the night. I loved the digital display for the fuel amount. Saves the guesswork of wondering how much fuel is remaining.

Quiet and Powerful

Followed the directions for oil and gas fill, and it started in less than a complete pull. After warm up, I connected several different devices, and it worked perfectly. Seems like just the right mix of power, portability and efficiency for my needs.

Compact, Easy to use, Quiet

Very good first impression of this dual fuel generator (Gasoline and Propane). Manual clear and understandable to prepare for operation and long term maintenance. Came with all the accessories such as Propane connection, engine oil, tools, funnel to add oil. Not too heavy so it can still be carried with one arm. Added oil and gasoline and it started up on first pull! Quiet operation and even more quiet in “eco mode”. Had it running for a while, therefore no long time experience as of yet. Did not run it with Propane as of yet neither. Checked it out with about 1600 VA load without reaching high RPM and not much noise increase. Although the free floating ground is no problem for the consumers (fridge, fan, lights, electronic device charger, hot plate), from a safety point I use it with a ground rod. This is going to be a backup in case of extended power failure.

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.

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.

Good Quality

It is well built. The unboxing was good. It came with everything I needed, oil, funnel, a small tool kit, cables to run it in parrallel with another. I fired it up on propane with no problem. I plugged in my air compressor and the rpm's came up just as advertised. It has an ECO MODE. I'm not sure how that operates yet. i will do some reading.

Lightweight and Durable

I did watch a you tube video to learn how to start it up and eventually had no trouble. Initially I had a hard time starting it because it was hard to pull. I then started a more slower approach and working it easily. So don't give up if you have a problem initially.
