As other reviewer have mentioned, buying a spare spark plug was a good idea. Just like other units, my plug was delivered cracked. Popped in my new plug, and it started right up. I haven't used it yet beyond my break-in run, but have no other concerns. Seems like a well built solid generator.
Being in hurricane prone state, we lose power often and I wanted a dependable generator to run my lights, computer and fridge without any hassles. I found it, with this generator. You can't go wrong with this one!
We live in Hurricane alley in Florida and decided this year we would be prepared. We wanted to have an inverter generator on hand to run chest freezer, fans, lamps and recharge electronic items. We wanted portable, light, reliable, and easy start. After extensive research we selected the iGen 2600. We liked the higher starting 2600 watts and the continuous 2200 watts should easily power what we need. So far it has been easy to maintain and starts with 1 pull!
Used this on a few camping trips so far and it has been nothing but excellent. I do recommend you change the oil 4 times during the break in period so it is clean of metal shavings and set for a long run life. Super quite and sips on gas. starts on every first pull after break in period and me and my wife just love it.
This generator is quiet and works great. Powers everything I’ve plugged into it with out so much as a stumble. Reason for the 4 stars is because the fuel gauge stopped working. I’m hopping customer service can help me resolve the issue.
