Powerful! Handles my boat Air Conditioner

One initial little problem. I removed the cover to put the oil in, and a retaining slip ring simply fell out! The retaining ring (or washer) is supposed to protect the cover screws from falling out. I replaced it with one that I had that fit better and will not fall out. So, that was a rough into, and I hoped nothing else was wrong. I was actually surprised that it started on the very first half-hearted pull. I didn't even pull hard and it started right up. Now on the big test. I purchased the iGen2500 hoping it could handle the load of my 10,000btu marine air conditioner. And it did! I noticed that voltage dropped to around 95 or 100v just for a sec during initial compressor cranking, but it did not trip! Tried with eco on and off, and it did not trip. turned on my wife's double fan and did it again...did not trip! The boat air conditioner runs just fine with this generator. Wish it had a little bigger gas tank, but the one it has is adequate. Quiet running...might be a bit louder that the smaller Honda, but certainly acceptable given the fact that the iGen2500 is substantially more powerful. The status LED's are a nice feature...can see relative fuel and load from a distance. Can't do that with most other models. So, overall, I am very pleased and aside from the initial washer problem, and my preference for a larger fuel tank, I am delighted. I did my research, and it seems to me that there is a good warranty/service program available should I ever need it. I rate this 4 1/2 stars....If I had to do it over, would not hesitate to purchase again.

Purchased to power my pop-up camper while camping. The purchase was easy and delivery to store was estimated correctly and prompt. Purchased because of good reviews and the included 3 year warranty. The unit is compact and light weight. I have yet to try it out. Will update when I do.

iGen2500Camo - Wow!

Albeit early, I already have an impressive story on this product. Out of the box, it's incredible easy to set up... add oil and gas and your done. The directions tell you to initially gentle pull the start cord until you feel resistance. I pulled once, then twice and then on the gentle third pull the darn thing started... quite as a church mouse. Very impressive. Now time will tell on the product longevity..

Quality machine with nice features

Generator was delivered today. Ran it in for 30 minutes to check operation. Operated flawlessly. Ran my table saw - it used 25% of the generator's capacity. The LED info panel is great! It's good to have that information. Let it run out of fuel and drained the carb float bowl - the drain valve and hose are a really nice touch. This is our hurricane generator. Hopefully, we'll never need it again.
