Meanest starting Generator I've owned

Would Not Recommend

I bought this Item to run an offgrid office trailer. Once I get it started I have no complaints, but it is the meanest starting thing I've ever bought. It takes 15 to 20 pulls of the recaoil for it to finally get started.

IGen2800c-Super Quiet, All the Bells and Whistles

Would Recommend

Bought this iGen2800c 2 months ago and it really lives up to the hype. Quietest unit on the market! Digital display makes it easy to keep an eye on the fuel level, output, and remaining runtime at all times. Compact and lightweight, it fits perfectly in the corner of my garage. A great feature is the convenient carb drain valve so you can drain the float bowl before storage without having to run the generator. Best small inverter on the market in my opinion.

Igen2800c

Would Recommend

Many members on my hunting club have had these for a few seasons and they work perfectly! So i decided to get one myself so I don’t have to haul my large generator on my trailer and burn 5 gallon of gas a night. Once I unboxed this new 2800 and added the oil and gas I ran it for a few minutes and it is SO quiet! Very glad i finally got one. I can wait to use it saving gas and not hollering trying to talk around it running.

Great Generator!

Would Recommend

The generator started up on the second pull, powered everything I needed it to power, ran just as quiet as the Honda near it, and only used about 1 gal of gas during the 7 hours I ran it. I am extremely happy with this product.

Portability and CO2 sensor

Would Recommend

Happy I purchased the iGen2800c. I like the portability and the fact that I can move it about. With hurricane season upon us, I will use this generator to keep my freezer and refrigerator running along with a fan or two. I do like that there 2 phone charger ports as well.

Used for tailgating and it worked great

Would Recommend

Purchased this generator 08/2025 to use for tailgating because of it's smaller size, good reviews and low decibel level. It has worked great and was very quiet.

Great Price, Works Well

Would Recommend

I recently bought an iGen 2800. I'm in the middle of the break in period and so far so good.I'm not real happy that the cover needs to be removed to check the oil level. I'm hoping the screws holding the cover don't eventually strip out. Minor annoyance for an otherwise great product.

Excellent value and very quiet

Would Recommend

It powers everything I need for living without power after a hurricane. It is pretty quiet for its power, especially when in ECO mode, which totally handles my needs very well.

Super quiet and perfect for off grid backup power

Would Recommend

Bought this to replace an older 2000 watt generator that finally bit the dust. It serves as a backup a small solar/battery system in an off-grid island cottage in coastal Maine. Pros: Very quiet Easier starting than old generator (no priming needed) Multi-purpose display (shows % of load, fuel level, total hours running time, etc) Light weight More power output (watts) than similar priced units. Cons: none noted yet. Strongly recommend you follow their recommendation to use non-eth...
