Was looking for a compact inverter generator that could run my 12k BTU portable AC and several other items in preparation for hurricane season. This iGen2500 is able to pull the AC and several other items. The other 2000 watt generators were more expensive and unable to handle what I needed. The fuel, load usage, and estimated running times on the front panel are a plus and not offered on other models at this price.
I purchased this to replace an older generator for emergency back up. Starts easily and is very intuitive to use. Much nicer than the old generator. I also have the 1800 watt version of this and have been very happy with it too.
Purchased a pair and the cable to run together. They run for about 30 mins then one or both go into overload! Using for our camper, it's a 24foot single A/C unit. These are real junk!!!
Albeit early, I already have an impressive story on this product. Out of the box, it's incredible easy to set up... add oil and gas and your done. The directions tell you to initially gentle pull the start cord until you feel resistance. I pulled once, then twice and then on the gentle third pull the darn thing started... quite as a church mouse. Very impressive. Now time will tell on the product longevity..
