A WELL THOUGHTOUT PACKAGE FOR SMALL POWER
on May 18, 2020
Posted by: TONYTEE
JUST UNBOXED IT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND AM PLEASANTLY PLEASED WITH THE ENTIRE PRODUCT....I PURCHASED IT FOR TWO REASONS....FIRST....TO RUN THE A/C ON MY RV.....WHICH IT HANDLED WITH EASE... THE SECOND REASON WAS BECAUSE IT WAS BILLED AS HAVING A 3 YEAR WARRANTY...........I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO FIND THAT I SHOULD HAVE READ WITH MORE ATTENTION AS THE THREE YEAR PART ONLY PERTAINED TO PARTS.....MY HOPE IS THAT IT IS WELL MANUFACTURED TO THE POINT THAT I WON'T NEED ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS........
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrific Portable Generator for my Travel Trailer
on May 21, 2020
Posted by: CO Highlander

I was in the need of a small portable generator to provide power for my travel trailer while dry camping/boondocking. After quite a bit of research, I purchased the iGen2600, and I am very pleased! It arrived quickly and without any damage (it was packaged very well, by the way). I unpacked it, read the manual, filled it with gas and oil and then pulled the starter cord. It started right up without a hitch. I then took the time to break it in the old fashion way (run 1 hour w/no load - change the oil, run another hour w/no load - change the oil, run a final hour with a light load, and change the oil). It ran like a clock through the the break-in period. So, now, how does it work when I put a load on it? I hooked it up to my travel trailer and used it to power the 13,500BTU A/C as I thought that was the real test. It handled it with no problem i - even with the startup surge/compressor load (disclosure - I do have a 'softstarter' on the A/C) it only hit 50% output - otherwise it idled when just the A/C fan was blowing. So, with the iGen2600 I can run my travel trailer A/C and still have plenty of power left over for other lights and appliances. I don't yet know if it will handle the A/C and convection microwave at the same time but I suspect it might - will have to do calculation on the amps. The front panel indicators are also very handy - it is easy to tell how much fuel is left, how much run time is left at the current loading, what the power output is, as well as what percentage of the putput is being used. It also has an indicator if the oil level gets low - which is nice to know before there is a problem. It has just the right outlets for my purposes (2 120VAC outlets, a 12VDC outlet, and a couple of USB ports for charging gadgets (cellphones, tables, etc) - although I typically would use the outlets in the trailer for that. In terms of noise level, we found it to be on a par with the other portable 2000W gennies that our friends have - I am not sure if I can tell the difference in a handful of dB's anyway. It does get louder when it revs up to 50% load when the A/C compressor kicks in, but that is to be expected and is probably still in spec. The lightweight (< 50 lbs) is a nice feature as one person can move it around. It is also very efficient with a good 8-10 hours of run time on a tank of gas (a little over 1 gal) depending on the load. If we are only using it to charge or trailer batteries, one tank of gas will easily last several days - but running the A/C a lot will bring that down to a day or two. We fill the tank and carry an extra 1 gal can when on the road. So, all in all, the iGen2600 is ideal for dry camping/boondocking in a small travel trailer. The extra 600W of power over the competing 2000w gennies at an affordable price makes for an easy purchase decision.

A Solid Purchase!

I received the iGen2600 exactly as described. Added oil and gas, started on first pull. Went through the break-in process and all is working great. This generator runs RV camper lights, tv, fridge and small air-conditioner with no problem or lack of power. Quiet as described, a great camping generator. Lightweight and easy to carry with one hand. Quite a bit of research went into this buy and so far it is a solid purchase.
