Easy to Start and Informative

As someone who bought the the iGen2200 in May 2017 and was satisfied with its performance to date, I expected great things from this set. It met my expectations and then some. Easy to start and a great interface telling me how much run time is left, fuel consumption and load %. Really good addition to my power generation group. Excellent timber finish too

I purchased two IGEN2500 with the parallel cable as a multi-use backup power system. I can use these for powering tools while working on my boat, for camping, etc. The parallel system plugs right into my transfer switch when I need it. I spent a lot of time researching inverter generators before I settled on these. I'll update this review as I learn more.

Great build, easy start

I spent a lot of time reviewing inverter generators before settling on a pair of these. I have been using a single EU2000i and it's great and I was going to pair it with a new EU2200i Companion. But I like the additional features of the iGen series and the higher wattage. I read through hundreds of reviews that convinced me it was worth going this route. I will post updates as I use the units and get more experience.

Great machine, but not sure about support

I purchased this iGen2500 to be used as a second generator in a parallel configuration. Setup was a breeze, and the inclusion of the oil and funnel was a nice touch. Started up on the first pull and runs quietly and smoothly. My only issue is initially the fuel gauge, which displays as a colored bar and as a digital quantity, was stuck at 0.9L, despite how much fuel was in it. So I called customer support, described the problem, and was told a Technician would get back to me. After 9 days, I have not yet heard anything back from them! Knowing that most fuel gauges work using a float, just today I decided to try jarring the float by dropping the generator about 4 inches. That fixed the problem, so all's well unless it never goes back down? But the fact I never received a call back concerns me... we'll see! Otherwise, great generator at a good price!

This generator powers my refrigerator, freezer,and sump pump with power left over to power my satellite TV system. Just what I need when the power goes out.

Quiet and powerful

Received the iGen2500 about a week ago. Setup instructions were clear and simple and took about 5 minutes. Started up first pull. Very quiet, particularly in the Efficiency Mode which drops the idle down to deliver only the power that is needed. I learned quickly that to power high demand equipment, like a compressor, it is best to take it out of Efficiency mode to start it, which makes sense as the surge current takes a few seconds for the generator to ramp up to speed. Otherwise, all my tests of power delivery, volume, etc. are great! Time will tell on longevity.

IGen 2500 is a great choice...

...for those looking for a generator easy to transport, but still capable of meeting all your power needs. Looking forward to camping off grid while still enjoying the AC in our travel trailer.
