Worked Right out of the Box
on July 7, 2018

from Falls Church, VA
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 would recommend this to a friend!

I GEN 2500 CAMO
on July 7, 2018
Posted by: No nickname
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

I purchased this Inverter for the Brand Name, features, and price (best available in this power range). It has everything I need, and nothing I don't. I'm very satisfied!

Starts on the first pull every time. Runs really quiet. LED power and fuel gauges are handy. Unfortunately it cannot power my RV air conditioner.

Quiet and Powerful

I bought the iGen2500 for my 2015 Keystone Hideout 210LHS which has a 13,500btu AC unit on it. I needed a generator to start and run the AC unit. I tried a Honda EU2000i and it bogged it out and tripped the breaker on the generator trying to start the AC. I tried the Honda a couple of times with no success. I left all the breakers on and let the battery charge from the camper Battery Converter (which is 55amps) while trying to start the AC because that's how it should be to me. I don't want to turn off everything to just run the AC. NOW the first time I tried the iGen2500 it also bogged down and tripped the gen's breaker. I fired up the iGen again and turned the AC unit to fan only for a little while and tried it again and guess what, she work's like a champ. It cycles the AC unit's thermostat on efficiency mode with not that much trouble. The iGen2500 display shows when the AC is on at around 50-75% or around 1600 watts. The display is mostly great. The only problem with the display is it shows in liters and not gallons or quarts. My other problem is it has 2 USB 5 volt outlets and NOT a 12 volt output. I wish it had a 12-14 volt output instead. And since this is a powerful, quiet generator, kinda made for an RV ,why doesn't it have an 30 amp STW AND 20 amp socket??? I think it's called an STW socket?? Anyway, so far so good for us. Thanks for reading
