Very good after tightening the fuel drain screw

I just received this yesterday, put the oil in it, filled it up with gasoline, and it started up immediately. I was a little disappointed to see gas leaking out of the bottom of the generator after I shutting it off. Today after work I get home and go out to fire this up again to let it run without a load to help break it in. After about 20 minutes it starts to sputter and then quit running. I moved it from where it was sitting and noticed the grass underneath where it was sitting was soaked with gasoline again and also noticed it pouring out of the bottom of the case again. I took the service cover off to find that the carburetor drain screw was open all the way causing the fuel to drain from the carburetor while it was running and especially after the engine was turned off. I guess this goes to show the efficiency of the engine to be able to keep running while it wasn’t even getting a solid flow of fuel. I haven’t contacted their customer service yet to make them aware of the quality control issue but after reading other reviews I’m sure that process and their resolution will be up to any standards of good customer service. Things happen, mistakes are made and it’s not the end of the world for sure, just a loose screw. I’m glad to have purchased this unit for the price I got it for and can’t wait to get out with the camper and put this to some good camping use.

Works out of the box

Great little generator so far, only ran for test though. Love the Digital Data Center and that it is small and quiet enough to use almost anywhere, does get noticeably louder under load.

I wanted a lightweight generator to use boondocking with my travel trailer. I’ll let you know how it goes. So far it looks good.

Even more compact than I thought it would be. I performed 1hr break-in and oil change. Started first pull. There are plenty of youtube reviews talking about the iGEN2500. Will run travel trailer 13k AC unit (according to youtube vids). I'm still in break-in period, but so far i'm very impressed.

Super quiet and very fuel Efficient!

This lightweight packs a big punch, there isn’t anything it can’t power (within it’s limits) would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a remote power supply option. Added oil and fueled up, it fired on the first pull and has been running flawlessly since day one.

Nice Power Range

I purchased an iGen 2500 because it was more powerful than comparably-sized units. I wanted to make sure it had enough power to run the air conditioner in my travel trailer.
