Generator starts right up on first or second pull and handles load very well. I just wish it were a little quieter, but you can't beat it for the price.
Works like a boss. Looking forward to many years of service with this for my pull behind. I have been using generators for years and this one's already my favorite. Can't beat it for this price.
So far , so good. I haven't had a chance to run my RV AC in parallel yet, but I did test the parallel mode and cable. I ran a toaster and it ran on 25% load. Only thing is that I wish they were a little bit quieter.
Bought this iGen2500 because it is only 46 lbs and is rated somewhere at 53/59dB. My old generator is 98lbs and about 70dB. It starts easy and is pretty quiet, although any load at all will cause it to increase RPM and noise level. Noticeably louder than my friends Honda 1600/2000, but it's more powerful. I'm hoping after I add a starter capacitor to my 13,500 BTU AC unit that it will be able to run that too. We'll see. Would prefer being able to check the oil without having to remove the side panel with a screwdriver (2 screws and 4 holding pins). Also, the digital screen is hard to read during daylight hours, and cycles 4 sets of numbers. It's supposed to show run time (since started?) and total run time (like an hour meter). Can't make any sense out of the numbers that show here, so I've put in a request from Westinghouse for an explanation. Expecting many years of RV use on this unit.
