Good Instructions. Started Easily. All A'OK

Tested with toaster + microwave. Adding coffee maker at the same did exceed the iGen2500 max rating. Unplugged the coffee maker and pushed the iGen's reset button. Restored full function without fuss. This unit to be used only in case of prolonged power outage mainly to keep the food in the fridge frozen/cold. And miscellaneous other low power necessities. Feel I made a good choice. After my new purchase test, I followed the supplied instructions for prolonged storage. Pumped out the tank. Then started and ran until completely dry. Then drained the float bowl. Put a squirt of motor oil in the cylinder and pulled the cord a few times. Good to go when the emergency comes!

I was looking at the Honda 2200 but when I saw the Consumer Reports review and rating I changed my mind. The extra 500 watts, great rating and savings was just too much to ignore. I have been completely satisfied so far!

Good Quiet backup generator

I really wanted an inverter generator that was good on gas. A friend has the 2200 and loves it. It was supposed to come with a free cover after I left this review. Unfortunately they don't have any covers so I get a power strip instead. Now I need to find a cover

Worked Right out of the Box

Picked up yesterday... followed the very simple instructions for gas and oil (supplied), and attempted to start. First pull it started. I bought this to power my 34ft Travel Trailer when electric hookups aren't available - it appears to work great for this job. I plugged in my trailer and started my 15K AC with zero issue. I do have an Easy Start 364 soft starter on the AC by Micro-Air, I don't know if this would start without it. So far after one day I'm very happy, we will see as time goes on. The only issue I have is there is no explanation of the codes on the display, I'll search the internet for them, but there should be a card or something with this to explain them.

I GEN 2500 CAMO

from St clair mo.
The unit arrived without any damage and after inspecting is a very good quality and assembly however after using the unit multiple times it has incurred rattle which I have not been able to find and is somewhat annoying. Number two on fuel economy mode the unit constantly surges find me when it is running at a higher RPM at a steady load the surging is reduced to almost nothing. Number three the unit on the front panel has a reset button and a 20 amp fuse however when the unit is overloaded it only trips to reset button and not the 20 amp breaker also there is nothing in the instructions that says anything about that breaker it does not even show 1. Now for the good things I am very happy with the build quality of the unit it is extremely user-friendly very quiet and gets great fuel economy I change the oil every 50 hours the unit does not smoke but once in awhile you have to add all within that 50 hour. For a camping generator I highly recommend this unit I use it at my cabin I started Friday evening and it runs non-stop until Sunday late afternoon I power of 5000 BTU air conditioner polite a coffee pot in the morning and my phone chargers Etc and the unit performs flawlessly and I only use 5 to 6 gallons of fuel
