Did some research prior to purchasing, was looking for a small Gasoline Inverter Generator to power my pellet stove when we lose power. This was a great one without breaking “breaking the bank” on a huge generator. Plus it will be great for camping/travel if needed!
We were without power for a week owing to Hurricane Helene. This is just what I needed then to run 15W appliances and charge my solar generator. Borrowed someone else's 5000 W generator, but it was very loud and heavy. This one has plenty of capacity for my usage as a backup and is much quieter and easier to move around. I particularly like the dual fuel capability and 30 amp outlet for my travel trailer.
I bought this 3 weeks ago and followed all the instructions. It was hard to crank on propane but has gotten easier. I still cannot get it to run on gas. Will not even start on gas. Was going to return to the store but decided to keep since the main reason for purchasing this genenrator was for the propane and it will be used mainly for camping.

My favorite features are; easy start, lightweight and portable, good power, quiet, easy maintenance, great English manual, attractive, and great design.
I have 2 of these. They run fine once you get them to start. Starting is difficult and most of the time requires deviation from the stated process. Both units do not turn off according to the manual instructions. You should cut the gas off and let it stop running. Both of mine will run for hours at like this. You have to end up turning it completely off. I had one of my 2 units replaced under warranty. Received an open box with no oil and still gas in the tank. My neighbor has the iGen2800 and i would recommend that version as it starts and shuts off differently. Once running, it runs great and is quiet. I own 4 generators (thus I am familiar with how to run and maintain. I am meticulous on the break-in and oil changes etc.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
