see the review left for IGEN 250----- lots of disparity between facts and the user manual!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this after a recent storm caused an extended power outage. We borrowed a gas generator that was very noisy but got us through the outage. This generator was much quieter and lighter than the previous generator. It was easy to start and the instructions were very clear for using either gasoline or propane. I powered several devices, including fans and a leaf blower and it worked just fine. I hope we don't have another extended power outage but if we do, we're now prepared.
We live in hurricane country, so I wanted a lightweight generator that would be powerful enough to run my fridge and portable AC for when we lose electricity for two weeks. This generator fit the bill. It's so light, my wife can lift it with no problem. Yet, so flexible, it can power my appliances, or just our cellphones.
I bought this generator to provide backup power to my house in case of an outage. I had an electrician install the necessary outside connections and an interlock kit on my electrical panel. I am running my generator on propane and to my surprise it started on the first pull. It is very quiet and I let it run for about a half hour as I experimented with running different circuits in my house. I am all set for hurricane season now!!
