Bought to run RV A/C
on November 27, 2020
Posted by: Ed607

I bought this generator because I believe it will power my 13,500 BTU RV Air Conditioner given the many reviews I have read, and videos watched. This generator seems to have an ability to absorb the immediate surge at A/C startup much better than other generators in the same output range. It will easily handle the ongoing power requirement of the Air Conditioner which I measure at about 1400 Watts, plus some other electrical requirements at the same time(like battery charging). I was also impressed with the fact that it comes with a 3 year warranty, which I hope I will not have to use!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this generator for peace of mind after a hurricane. It costs much much less than an equivalent Honda generator.

Off to a great start

I bought this unit to replace a very noisy older generator. I like that they provide a funnel with a hose, oil bottle and spark plug wrench. TIP: Mark the oil level on the bottle and save it for easy reference for future oil changes. I added the oil and fuel and turned the choke on for about two minutes. The unit started on the second pull. The generator is quiet when running on the economy setting and ramps up when under load. Still better than my old generator.
I was torn between this one and the one made by H. This unit was cheaper and may run an air conditioner unit in an RV with a soft start kit.

Good features. Easy to start & operate. Quieter than large generators, but still pretty loud.

Runs everything well, when running
on September 21, 2020

I bought this item 6 months ago. It ran fine at the time and I use it to run a small air conditioner on my camper. When the a/c is on high, the inverter shows that it is at half power. It runs the air conditioner well and is relatively quiet for a generator, but after about 4 months, it started shutting off for no reason. It will run for about 15 minutes with no problems, but it won't stay running.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Inverter Generator

I bought two of these units a couple months back to get ready for Hurricane season. Put oil in them and performed all steps in the instructions. Both units started right away. We used it to power a 15,000 BTU portable A/C unit no problems.

Great Features and Performance

I purchased the iGen 2600 to use for temporary power in case of a utility outage. I've had it for about month. It was packed well. Studied the manual which was clearly written and easy to follow with respect to setup, operation, and maintenance. It included exploded views with parts lists, schematics and specifications. I opened the maintenance cover to view the quality of both components and assembly. All looked good and component parts seemed to be robust. I then added oil and fuel following the startup procedure and then started the generator. Initially it ran a little rough which could have been debris from manufacture in the fuel system or possibly an air bubble in the fuel system. In diagnosing, I found that the spark plug gap was a bit off so I set it to the exact specification called out in the manual. I ran the unit over several hours throughout the month loading it to various levels and changing loads. This included various types of loads including multiple motors including a vacuum cleaner, sump pump, and electric lawn maintenance tools. I was impressed that even with multiple motors running I was able to start another without noticing any lugging. You couldn't tell the difference in the startup from when powered from primary power. The generator motor quickly would speed up in an effortless manner. I repeated these tests in varying combinations without issue. After running for a total of about 6 hours, I changed the oil to see if it appeared to have any debris from manufacture or otherwise. It seemed perfectly clean and uncontaminated. Considering my experience thus far, I would recommend this generator.
