Powers as advertised and quiet
on August 8, 2021

I bought two of these during the Florida hurricane season tax-free weekend (May 2021), and I just got around to unpacking them today. They were easy to set up (just add the oil and gas), and the meters accurately reported the power being drawn on the machines (based on the wattage info in a hair dryer manual) . I also purchased a parallel cord, but I've not tested that yet.
This review is for the "first" unit I unpacked. All in all, I'm happy with the purchase, except that the muffler cover is loose. As I tried to tighten it up, I realized that the plastic panel above the muffler cover is bent, so a tab that holds the cover firmly in place cannot "click into place." Also, one of the screws that holds the muffler cover will not tighten, no matter what I do. It doesn't affect the operation of the unit right now, but I'm a little perturbed to have this happen with a brand new unit. Also, it makes me wonder how well the unit will hold up over time. Because of that, I removed one star from my review.
This review was given in exchange for a free generator cover, but the review contains my honest, independent opinion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerhouse in Small Package

I purchased this to use for emergency RV power. Tried less powerful models and they would not start the AC. This unit worked as long as I ran it on "regular" not ECO. on ECO it couldn't catch up to the demand fast enough. I have only used it once for an hour so I cannot yet attest to the durability - but it seems to be just what I need.

IGen2500 Starts on first or second pull every time. Quieter than I thought it would be.

I just purchased this item and received. Have not yet needed to use it but appears to be very simple to operate per the instructions. Nice that it comes with oil in the package!

Worked well the first time I used it. Rather heavy and it would help to have wheels on the unit.
