Tested this genny yesterday and had it up and running in no time. This is my first generator so I'm no pro but the manual is clear, easy to ready and informative - no troubleshooting to slow things down! I especially like the 5V USB ports on the iGen model. Feel much better about hurricane season armed with this genny!
Ordered this product, came quick and not only looks great but also a sturdy generator for the price. Tested it out and fired right up and is not too loud. Would recommend to others!
So far so good. Purchased a 6 breaker transfer switch to go along with my iGen2200 so I could connect it to our home. The 6 breakers are used by our side-by-side fridge, 1000 watt microwave, kitchen lights (LEDs), family room (ceiling fan, lights, TV), master bedroom, and a bedroom with pool bath. I was able to turn all of those circuits on at the same time. Even had eco mode still on. The microwave was a but iffy to have running at the same time as everything. In a real power outage I would most likely turn off the fridge to help avoid an overload situation. I would also only turn on the circuits required vs. having them all on all the time. The one thing I cannot speak to is runtime. The next time we have an outage I'll be sure to keep tabs on it.
Have not started it yet, will run it tomorrow to test. The generator looks to be well built and easy to use. I expect to be prepared for the next tropical storms that knock out the power.
