Well made and powerful

I bought two of these a month ago and just installed the high altitude kit on the first one. This is powerful enough to run my 5000 btu home air conditioner, the same as is in my camper. It's quiet with all the panels installed, and seems to be well made.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice light, quiet little generator.

I purchased 2 of these to take with us when we dry camp. They are quiet and run my a/c when I connect them together. I would recommend the Igen2500. Two with a generator parallel cord for enough "umph" to run the a/c.

Very easy set up. Bought in case of power outage. Looks like a nice generator I could use for tailgating also.

IGen2500

I live in Florida and needed a backup for my refrigerator and freezer. We have lost power when hurricanes pass through. I have not used the IGen2500 yet but hope it works for my needs if I lose power.

Efficiency Mode will not operate AC
on September 4, 2021
Posted by: Rckygy
from Wisconsin
The iGen 2500 was purchase two months ago. My RV is equipped with a 15000 BTU air conditioner with soft start that will draw 13-14 amps on compressor start up.
With the iGen 2500 set on efficiency mode it will only operate the air conditioner fan. When the compressor starts, the iGen2500 disconnects the load, and then must be shut down to be reset. The manual states on page 16 under Using Efficiency Mode, "Efficiency mode should be used only after the inverter has been warmed up to operating temperature." And then states, "As a load is applied, the inverter will sense the load and engine RPM will increase according to the load applied. The second statement is not true.
If the iGen 2500 will only operate a air conditioner at maximum power and speed, then it has an "efficiency mode" that is useless.
