Poor quality

I purchased this generator used it for the first time. It will not run with the cap fully tighten down you have to leave the cap loose in order for it to get gas. After running the generator the Off/run/choke switch fell off the machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Generator

I purchased this generator for my trailer. It worked out great. Over the last year I have stored the generator in my garage. There has been power problems developing for the last year...I will use it as my backup for the refrigerator and freezer, and fans. Before I am second guessed I understand the output of the generator. it is a great piece of machinery and is quiet. The price is reasonable and well worth the cost. There are cheaper brands and more expensive ones but possibly not better ones.

Hello, I have only had this for a week or so but did have time to test it. I purchased it as emergency (home) backup and it powered my fridge and freezer with no problems at all. Very quiet. Easy to start, one is not even sure that it is started , that is how silent it is with no load. Build seems top notch. Good instructions. Very pleased.

This is my first portable generator since 1984. The iGen2500 is lighter than my old Honda650 and a lot quieter with 4 times the juice. After adding the oil I gave the pull cord a light easy test pull. Guess what the darn thing started right up. Ran for a few minutes then plugged in the camper, turned on the air conditioner (the fridge was already running). Then turned on the microwave. That flipped the overload switch. After resetting the overload by pushing a button retested with the AC set a little lower and the power on the microwave set at 8 rather than 10. Everything kept running. Can't wait to take it out in the woods. Side panel to access oil, air filter and other stuff is a little cheezy but it works. Read the full manual description not just the Quick Start Guide to get a better understanding of how it all fits together.
