nice light weight Inverter Generator for traveling

I bought the inverter Gen for traveling from Michigan to Texas, with a camper, was going to stop at rest stops or other stores that let you spend the night while on the road with a travel trailer, wanted something light weight and easy to handle and quiet to use at night. it work out great, the only problem I have had with it the unit will not shut down by turning off the fuel like the owners manual say how to shut down, I would buy it again, I like that it has a 30 amp plug for the camper. it did work great for the trip and now I also have it to use at home and more boondocking trips

Has everything I wanted in a portable generator

Just received and couldn't be happier. Recommend highly. Took a long time reviewing generators and this model was the best for my needs. Great price, plenty of runny watts, and quiet. Love the duel fuel. Just looking for a generator to use for home use when power goes out.

Started on first pull

The iGen 2500 will power either one of our camper's 15000 BTU air conditioner units just fine. I had to make sure that all of the electrical loads were switched off otherwise it wouldn't start them reliably. I installed an Easy-Start in one of the units and now it'll start it effortlessly, and I don't have to shut the battery charging circuit off before switching the unit on. 2500 watts (2200 continuous) from 48 lbs. Fantastic

iGen2550c Inverter Generator

Easy to set up and operate, and the noise level is very acceptable for campground use. Love that I can connect a 30 amp RV cord directly to it without any adaptors. The manual says it doesn't come with the wires needed to run 2 units in parallel but maybe that's just leftover verbiage from other models because both units came with cords. And they're super easy to use, truly just plug and play. Keep in mind that when you run in parallel you will not be able to take advantage of ECO mode...which makes sense anyway because you would typically only be running in parallel if you're providing power to something large like an RV AC unit. You don't want to be in ECO mode when something that large cycles on. But just know that when the AC cycles off your generators will not idle down while it's off, so no fuel savings! However, it does appear they will make it through the night on a full tank...will try to follow up on this later when I know for sure.

Quiet and easy starting

This generator will run my 2008 camper A/c.It is quiet, i cant put a Db value on it but it seems as quiet as the other red or blue models. Easy starting. two things i would like to improve: a fuel shutoff valve so the carburetor could be run dry for storage without draining the fuel tank, and, change the carry handle to a handle across each end to make it easier for two old people to carry.

Works Well, But Case Mis-Assembled

This unit was received with a mis-assembled case, such that the splash shield was not seated properly and could have provided a path for fuel to enter the case had I not noticed it before adding fuel. It was a simple fix involving a few screws and a c-clip to get everything assembled properly. After that, the generator worked fine and was as quiet as expected.

Very compact and light

I bought this a few weeks ago and I am just testing it out now. I like how compact it is and is light enough to put in the back of my SUV. It comes with the wire harness to connect to another unit which I have, a 2200 and they are compatible. The digital control panel is a nice feature.

Bought a 2nd One To Parallel

The first would run my 15k AC, but only on low fan and it was maxed out running at full RPM and was quite loud. I bought a 2nd one to parallel, now it handles the load easily, both units run at mid RPM and are significantly quieter. I was torn between the portability of 2 parallel 2k units vs 1 quieter 100 lb 4k unit. These are being used for my MX race trailer, so the noise should not be an issue. If I was buying for my camping trailer, I would definitely choose a 4k unit now. The people that rate this at quiet must only use at on Eco mode with low loads. It's not at all quiet maxed out. Just know what you are buying.

Perfect little generator

I purchased this to have for small/short power outages. Since my power goes out some times for more than a few hours but less than 8 hours, I wanted something small to hookup just my refrigerator and a light. This is perfect. It's small enough and love how quite it is. Love dual fuel option, but will only be using propane probably.

Easy start and quiet!

Very impressed with the very easy pull - almost no back pressure at all, starts right up and quiet running. Easy access to oil and spark plug and nice pad on top for setting phone or small battery pack while charging. Display is bright and LED front panel lights are a nice add. Looking forward to using on camping, ATV, snowmobile and ice fishing trips.
