So far I'm very happy with this generator. Really like that it has a bit more surge than a lot of competitors, and I really like the front panel information available.

I bought this in January 2021 and have used it with a grinder, cutting wheel, and drill while building an outdoor run in shelter. Also used during the Texas Ice storm to give power to our neighbors house. Worked great and was dependable.

Solid inverter generator
on May 18, 2021
Posted by: Ants718
from San Antonio, TX
I bought this igen2500 inverter generator in case of a power outage. Opened the box, read the instructions and it's pretty straight forward. Added the included oil although there might have been a little too much in the oil bottle as the dip stick indicated is was over the high mark. Im not that familiar with engines so after I set the dial to choke, the generator sputtered a little and didnt know when to turn the dial to run. Eventually, I did turn it to run and the engine started. I ran it for an hour to break it in and changed/replaced the oil. Had to buy more oil of course. The dirty oil was kinda dark looking so I recommend people changing the oil relatively early. And I highly recommend a magnetic dipstick. Then I ran it again but this time I plugged 2 refrigerators and a couple of chargers and it handled it no problem! Didnt look at the output but I suspect it can handle even more than that. It's somewhat heavy loaded with gas so not sure if the wife can easily move it around. Noise was ok if you are right next to it and eco made it even quieter but its not bad from a distance as I think itll be ok to run it overnight. Digital readout is great in telling you how much time you have left running. So far it looks pretty reliable and I cant say about its longevity just yet but this seems like its gonna be a solid generator.

Great Little Generator
on May 19, 2021
Posted by: Gerhardt
from Orlando, FL
I bought this for an upcoming travel vacation and needed a fairly quiet small generator. I found this online and decided to give it a try. When I received the generator I was a bit worried because the box had some physical damage and I hoped that it didn't hurt the generator. After unboxing I was relieved to find that the generator was in great shape. I followed the startup instructions and within a few minutes had the generator up and running. It was not quite as quiet as I thought, but compared to another generator I have it is very quiet. I later found out it is much quieter than other units friends of mine have. The unit starts up first time, display panel and controls are well marked and usable. I ran a few items with the generator to test its capabilities and everything worked with no loading of the generator. Overall, this is a great little generator. May get another one to run in parallel in the near future!

Very impressive purchase

I received this, but had to wait several weeks before I could unpack and test it. It was very simple to set up by simply adding oil. I was very impressed when it started up on the very first pull. I hope it will start this easy when the power goes out and is needed for power backup.
