Easy starting, lots of power for a camper.

This is for our camper. Previous unit would only run the ac. This igen2500, at the same weight and size, runs the ac cool, ac heat strip and microwave all from the economy idle setting. Really pleased with this purchase and look forward to setting up camp.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Started on first pull

I added the supplied oil, poured in the gas, chocked the engine, and one pull later it started. Ran quietly. Haven't been able to go camping yet, but I ran my tools and a hair dryer on Eco mode without a hitch.

Quiet is an understatement

Easy to start. Light weight. Extremely quiet. Efficiency mode is a MUST feature. The RPMs lower to a pur. The digital readout leaves nothing to guess as far as fuel left and runtime on that fuel level. Highly recommended.

Great Generator, but not without a rough start....

Short answer....this a really well designed generator, but there are some packing and quality control issues. I would recommend this to a friend. So, I got my generator in the mail.....right after Hurricane Irma hit.....that's my fault. When I opened the box, the silicon package inside (the one that absorbs moisture) had broken and silicon beads were EVERYWHERE......including inside the generator. After quite a while of shaking a 50 lbs generator every which way with the cover off to try and get as many beads as I could out of the generator, I attempted to start it. It did start......but on the 7-10th pulls.....not great. After 3 minutes of running the generator would just die....even with no load plugged into it. When I did put a load on it, it died very quickly. As a former small engine mechanic at a lawn mower repair shop, I started checking gas level, oil level, air filter, and choke....all of which checked out. Lastly, I checked the spark plug and bingo! The spark plug had been WAY over-tightened and the ceramic insulator had cracked. Also, the gap was .003 out of spec. I bought a new plug at AutoZone and installed it. The generator started up on the first pull, ran great and has no issues. I think there MAY be an issue with the power meter on the front....didn't seem like it was giving me accurate readings, but I haven't had time to double check it yet. All and all, a solid little generator, but not perfect out of the box.

Excellent for Camping Trailer use

I have a small 30A travel trailer that can run just fine on 20A, as long as you don't turn it all on at once. This generator provides up to 18.3A (according to documentation) and worked perfectly to run 5000 BTU air conditioner and 2.7'cu fridge and lights, with only 25% load showing on the display. Unsure of exact dB level (claim is 53dB with no load) but very quiet. Simple operation and excellent documentation included (too rare these days).
