Piece of JUNK!!!

Purchased a pair and the cable to run together. They run for about 30 mins then one or both go into overload! Using for our camper, it's a 24foot single A/C unit. These are real junk!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really wanted the igen4500 but that unit has been on backorder everywhere for a very long time. With hurricane season a week away I didn't want to take a chance so I ordered the igen2500, which was my second choice. Upon unboxing I gave it a thorough going over. The unit appeared to be in great condition with only 1 minor scratch. When I showed the wife she couldn't even find the scratch. Alls good! I followed the very clear pre startup instructions and was ready to start it up within 5 min. It started on the first pulled. I let it run for 20 min with no load than added a 240 watt load and let it run. After 10hrs 14min it finally ran out of gas. I found the unit to be louder than I expecting. More on that later. Day 2. I wanted to run another tank full of gas to get through the first 20hrs and do the first oil change as recommended ( I actually change the oil after the first day's run so this would be the second oil change). About 2 hrs into the run I noticed 1 of the 4 control panel screws had back it's way out and was laying on the ground. Looking at the screw I found the last 3 threads had been stripped. I checked the other three and they were fine. A quick trip to the hardware store and all is good again. On this day I put a higher load on the unit, about 430 watts. Still under 25 % load. It ran out of gas after 10hrs 29min. Very happy. On day three I added a small amount of gas, warmed it up and changed the oil. Put the cover back on and started it up again. That's when I noticed a buzzing sound. 2 pieces were vibrating against each other. Grabbed a screwdriver and started checking the screws a little tightening here and there and the buzzing stopped. If you have the same problem check the air filter cover screw. Now the unit sounded like I was expecting! It was very quiet! All in all this a powerful, very fuel efficient and now very quiet generator. I am very pleased. I would buy it again and I highly recommend it.

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..

Starts easy. Quiet at idol. Louder when making lots of power. Starts and runs 13500 BTU AC unit and the microwave in my camper, (just not when in eco mode).

Easy to use generator

I purchased this to replace an older generator for emergency back up. Starts easily and is very intuitive to use. Much nicer than the old generator. I also have the 1800 watt version of this and have been very happy with it too.
