Followed the directions for oil and gas fill, and it started in less than a complete pull. After warm up, I connected several different devices, and it worked perfectly. Seems like just the right mix of power, portability and efficiency for my needs.
Was pretty happy with this generator out of the box. One very light pull and the generator started right up. However, the first time we went to use it, we began having issues. The generator won't stay running. I've tested the generator with an 1800 watt hair dryer, and then unit will run for a couple minutes. However, if I switch the hair dryer off for a few seconds, then turn it back on, the generator backfires and quits running. It then takes several hard pulls to get it running again. Usually I have to let it sit for a few minutes before trying to start it again. Something is not right with this.
Powerful and reliable easy to operate great product

This generator meets and existed my requirements i was blown away by the power of this inverter generator and the fuel consumption is amazing, i got over 11 hours out of 1 gallon of fuel, my next step is a second unit and a parallel cables
Very Portable and Powerful. Backup power where ever needed. Like the easy start and compactness. Sits in back of pickup for camping or work. Nice Touch.
In Ct. we have extreme weather events at times....severe snowstorms, thunderstorms and then there are times the power goes out for other non-weather related situations...this happened on 2 occasions this past winter. My wife with the help of our son researched what a good generator would be for our situation and they read reviews on line and purchased the iGen 2500. Thankfully we got by without any outages the rest of March because I got my "gift" of the iGen 2500 for my birthday in April. What a great surprise and can't wait to put it to the test .....although we did try it out and it works great! Check out the other great reviews online. Highly recommend this product!
Generator used as emergency power for aquarium. Starts on first pull and is quiet with small load. Gets louder than expected with heavy loads but might be true with all portable generators. Biggest gripe is fuel gauge and remaining run time are very inaccurate.
