I bought this at a recommendation of a friend to use at a farmers market to run a small 700w microwave. For the first 3 starts it was fine, then started to lag when pulling the cord to start it up. Took 3 pulls before it would start. And, after having to do this again, I just stopped using it. It is also loud!
I have a bigger generator. I got this one and this thing was low I can have a phone call and still hear my self play my funk music. First day of use love it...
My néw iGen2200 started up on the first try! We just had a major wind storm which knocked out most of our city’s power and my iGen2200 easily provides the emergency power needed to keep my major electrical appliances operational and foodstuffs safe!
Bought this for new camper. Haven’t used yet so can only attest to how easy this thing is to fire up. I have bad history with combustible engines so all my yard tools are battery operated. After unboxing, pulled cover off and unscrewed oil plug. Generator comes with funnel that has threads and o ring so it can screw into oil drain for a no mess fill up. Replaced cap and filled unit with gas. Followed starting sequence and started on 3rd pull. All subsequent starts the unit fired up on 1st pull. Unit is quieter than expected. Very pleased so far.
For less than half of a similar sized Honda you cannot beat this generator. It runs everything in my RV and is very quiet; on eco mode you hardly even know it’s out there.
I bought one week ago. I used it and it works as described as advertised. The user manual is good. It runs reliable but it has lack of fuel level information.
