Solid inverter generator
on May 18, 2021
Posted by: Ants718
from San Antonio, TX
I bought this igen2500 inverter generator in case of a power outage. Opened the box, read the instructions and it's pretty straight forward. Added the included oil although there might have been a little too much in the oil bottle as the dip stick indicated is was over the high mark. Im not that familiar with engines so after I set the dial to choke, the generator sputtered a little and didnt know when to turn the dial to run. Eventually, I did turn it to run and the engine started. I ran it for an hour to break it in and changed/replaced the oil. Had to buy more oil of course. The dirty oil was kinda dark looking so I recommend people changing the oil relatively early. And I highly recommend a magnetic dipstick. Then I ran it again but this time I plugged 2 refrigerators and a couple of chargers and it handled it no problem! Didnt look at the output but I suspect it can handle even more than that. It's somewhat heavy loaded with gas so not sure if the wife can easily move it around. Noise was ok if you are right next to it and eco made it even quieter but its not bad from a distance as I think itll be ok to run it overnight. Digital readout is great in telling you how much time you have left running. So far it looks pretty reliable and I cant say about its longevity just yet but this seems like its gonna be a solid generator.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this in January 2021 and have used it with a grinder, cutting wheel, and drill while building an outdoor run in shelter. Also used during the Texas Ice storm to give power to our neighbors house. Worked great and was dependable.

So far I'm very happy with this generator. Really like that it has a bit more surge than a lot of competitors, and I really like the front panel information available.

Just ad the oil that comes with it, filled it with gas and it started after a couple pulls to get the fuel into the system! Runs quiet and smooth.

Emergency

Light weight but not as quiet as I expected. It also lets off a lot of smoke which I hope goes away over time.
