I already have an old, large, inefficient, noisy generator and the family needed some relief while using it overnight especially when the electrical loads were small. This iGen2200 is very quiet. I appreciate how the RPMs and noise fluctuate based on load. At half load, it's exceptionally quiet. At full load, still reasonably quiet, and MUCH better than my existing generator. Also, I'm happy with the fuel efficiency, weight, funnel to add oil, etc. It's a joy to run and I wish I bought this long ago!
Just bought this, easy instructions on filling with oil, break in period. Started easy, took little over 5 pulls first time, since then one or 2 pulls.
Nice compact, light and quiet generator. Only thing missing is the digital readout on the Igen 2500 that tells run time and fuel level. But that is several hundred $$ more. So far so good.
After doing some research on YouTube, I choose the iGen2200. After putting in the oil and fuel it started with just one pull. On Eco mode you can have a normal conversation right next to the generator. It suits my purpose as an emergency generator and to run small appliances when I need it too.
Great generator so far. I bought as a home backup for our tvs and computers. I was blown away how quiet this thing is compared to my non inverter generator.
