I bought this a couple months ago. I was impressed by the build and design quality, especially considering the cost of the generator. I have only ran the generator about 50 hours but it has been flawless so far.
We have our igen 2200 sitting waiting ready to go whenever natural disaster or Armageddon sets in. Buying this thing for me for Christmas. And it looks good sitting in my garage. I've only used it briefly. My thought was a gas shut off valve so the gas left in the carburetor doesn't come up in the future when natural disaster hits. However storing it empty would be a solution and additional preparation for gasoline necessary. Like I said it looks good in the garage.
