Amazing, indispensable item!

As many of us found out with Hurricane Helene, you can never be too-prepared! I would have had this generator a lot sooner. Having made bought this, I feel that my emergency/prep cache has become immensely improved. I look forward to many years of (hopefully) not having to use it, but will possess the comfort of it's power should we need it!

Suprisingly Good

Just received the Igen2500, added oil and gas, then went to start it and it started first pull. runs smooth and quiet, then hooked it up to my R-POD with a 13500btu air conditioner, ran a/c no problem, running around 1400-1500 watts steady. tried it on another rv with a different brand a/c same results. Love the LED data display. So far very happy!

Great little generator

Used this on a few camping trips so far and it has been nothing but excellent. I do recommend you change the oil 4 times during the break in period so it is clean of metal shavings and set for a long run life. Super quite and sips on gas. starts on every first pull after break in period and me and my wife just love it.

Super quiet and runs smooth

Just received it yesterday and tried it out today. The thing runs great. Starts right up. Powered up my fridge which was my main reason wanting it. It only showed running at 25% capacity running it too. I just got it so can't really say much more yet. So far very pleased.

Everything I was looking for and exceptional value

Was looking for a compact inverter generator that could run my 12k BTU portable AC and several other items in preparation for hurricane season. This iGen2500 is able to pull the AC and several other items. The other 2000 watt generators were more expensive and unable to handle what I needed. The fuel, load usage, and estimated running times on the front panel are a plus and not offered on other models at this price.

iGen2500

I only received this generator today. It arrived well packaged with zero damage. I added the oil and fuel.. and it started on the second pull. Its very quiet.. and the engine idles very smoothly. I tested it with a space heater and it had no problem.. and it took only 25% load on low setting and about 40-50% at high setting. The price was excellent.. and about half the price of the Honda 2000 and it has more power. I'm looking forward to using this generator for camping.

Great generator

It started in the gasoline mode on the first pull, choke out, the first time out of the box. In the propane mode it took a few pulls and choke adjustments. It runs smoothly while powering, at least, my newer fridge, TV and a light with no problem. That's the minimum needed in a northern California power outage. It's sleek looking, has soft rubber feet, a large comfortable handle, easy dashboard and although I put in on a cart, it's lightweight. Compared with the standard, it really is quiet, humming right along. Very happy.

Little - light and very powerful

Used for 1 month after Hurricane Maria struck Pueero Rico and I'm very happy with it. It powers one medium size fridge, 10 (5-15 watts) led bulbs, 1 (75watt) pedestal fan and I have a lot of power for other uses. Sometimes I used it with my clothes washer (econo mode off) and my espresso 1800 watt machine. I'm really happy. Gas consumption is around 9 to 12 hours depending on type usage.

Perfect for camping

I have to admit I was a little skeptical of all the reviews claiming it started on the first pull... But... My 2500c started first pull. It was much quieter than I expected. I plan to use it in my small camper with my a small plug-in heater when I don't need the furnace and also to power a small microwave. The only complaint was I should have bought this gem years ago. It is right up there with generators that cost over double. Great Generator!!!

Decent Yamaha Clone

Works fine right out of the box. Runs 15,000 BTU AC, but not in Eco mode. Quiet in Eco mode at idle or under low load. When running AC, it's maxed out and quite noisy. I'm going to live with it since it's purpose is my MX race trailer. I really wanted quieter, unfortunately to get quiet while running 15,000 BTU AC means getting unit with >3000 running watts, so it's only at 50% load. Those quiet units all come in at 100 lbs+, not what I wanted.
