Needed a small generator that was relatively quiet that could be used for multiple needs. Also looking for one light enough that my wife could move it around. This one met my needs.
I have not used my igen2200 yet but it arrived in great condition. Was a little heavier than I expected. Also am not fond of the fact that I have to unscrew a panel to add oil. All in all was satisfied with purchase
I spent a lot of time researching generators deciding the type, size, placement, extension cord, etc. I'm an older girl at 76 yrs and was definitely intimidated with buying and setting up a generator for the house. As it turned out, the research was much more work than getting it running. It was heavy to move for me but do-able. Nice that all the required tools were included. I did buy a new gasoline container that held just 1.25 gallons and added stabilizer to the gasoline before I filled the generator. My only hang-up was getting the panel off to add the oil. I couldn't figure out why the panel wouldn't come off when I loosened the screws. Finally realized that it was held in place by buttons and slots and needed to be wedged off. So got it up and running, lit a lamp and had a glass of wine. Nice! I would definitely recommend it.
