Fantastic little generator for the cost

Everything about it seems to be good quality. I wish it had a standard 30A outlet so I could plug my 30A RV cord directly into the unit. With a MicroAir EasyStart system installed, I'm able to run my Dometic Brisk II AC as well as my 6cf Norcold RV refrigerator at the same time.
I would have liked to see a proper break in procedure documented in the manual and quick start guide. In short, pull the spark plug and use the included funnel to pour about 1/2 ounce of oil directly into the combustion chamber. Then SLOWLY pull the starter cord about 15-20 times to ensure the cylinder walls, piston skirt, and rings are fully saturated with oil. The put the spark plug back in. Yes, it will smoke like crazy on startup the first time and this is ok. Put the included oil in the crankcase as instructed...gas it up and start it with ECO mode off. Once started, turn from choke to run position, then turn on ECO mode. Run it with no load for about 30 minutes. Stop the engine, drain the oil...yes it's black. Now, do it again, this time at about 25% load for 1 hour. Change oil again. Now run it a full power load through 1 tank of fuel. Then change oil again. After the first break in step, start using full synthetic oil. This procedure take some time and is a bit of work but it will ensure the engine is broken in properly and should last MUCH longer. Don't believe me? When you drain the oil the first time, drain it into a glass container and look how black the oil is. It will be like that the first 3 oil changes. After 3 changes, then run as recommended...50 hours between changes...always using synthetic. Also note that you don't have to use 10w-30. The manual says that you can run more temperature appropriate oil as needed.
Also, get a better spark plug. You should go ahead and get 2...change out the cheap Torch brand after the break in. then have another on hand as a spare.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am very pleased with the performance of my inverter generators. I have the camo one and the blue one. I will be able to parallel these two when the need arises.

this unit ran my 13500 btu air conditioner on my camper quite well, however the noise level was substantially more than I had hoped for-- under lesser lodes the unit was very quiet.

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!

Fired up on the first pull, and ran like a champ! Powers my RV's 1350 BTU A/C unit just fine with the help of another protuct EasyStart by micro-air.
