This lightweight packs a big punch, there isn’t anything it can’t power (within it’s limits) would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a remote power supply option. Added oil and fueled up, it fired on the first pull and has been running flawlessly since day one.

So far the iGen2500 is great compared to a different brand I have used previously. Still in the break in period haven't had a full load on it yet. Starts on the 1st or 2nd pull and is easy for my wife to start. So far i rate this high for quality, we will have to see how long the iGen2500 will last!

I have tested the generator couple of time at home before taking my trip where I will be using it for a long period of time, I have tested it with more than what I will be using on my trip and it is handling everything with no issues. my only concern is that the led control center is not lighting on and showing me the actual level of gas and the load lights are coming on every now and them. I will give it couple more try and will get in contact with westinghouse after that.

Nice generator. I spent copious amounts of time researching a generator / inverter for my 5th wheel. It came down to the Honda 2000 watt vs the iGen2500. I wanted to be able to start and run the AC unit so I opted for the iGen2500 over the iGen2200. Yes it did! It was easy to setup and get running, from a out of the box to add oil and gas, it started on the 2nd pull. Suggestions and the reason for 4 stars vs 5: 1) It doesn't come with an hour meter. They are not an expensive item, not hard to install, and the unit requires maintenance based on a hourly runtime schedule. So one would think it would come with an hour meter. ( I purchased a Hardline hour meter for $20 an installed it in about 10 minutes.) The iGen2500 already has a digital display, so one would think an hour meter could be incorporated into the digital readout. FYI Westinghouse... including an hour meter would set you above everyone else and give you an edge when comparing brands, as no one else includes an hour meter on this size of generator. Just saying.... 2) Digital display, great feature but it has some issues, at least for us Americans. First, it's location on the very bottom of the generator makes it hard to read. Locating it on the top would have been a better location. 2nd: it displays the amount of fuel left in the tank in liters. In America where we use quarts / gallons, Quarts remaining would be better. 3rd: the readout for power output is in kilowatts, so the total kw is 2.0kw - 2.5kw, we use wattage to determine load / how many appliance we can power with a generator. So a reading in watts would be far more useful than in kilowatts. 4th: The digital readout rolls between each of 4 readouts, with a letter in front to indicate what the reading signifies. L = for fuel remaining ? how about F for fuel F = for remaining runtime? how about T for time I would like a way to add an external fuel tank for longer run times. Other than these items, I'm happy with my iGen2500 and would recommend it!

I bought this generator awhile ago but couldn't use it in the apartment. So I brought it down to my house in Puerto Rico. I use the generator at night to run basic needs like fans power battery chargers, but the greatest need is for myself and my wife's CPAC machines. Generator is easy to start, easy maintenance and generates power for our needs and beyond. The best feature is how quiet it runs.

This started after the first pull, and so far works like a charm. I've used a Honda 2000 as well, and noise-wise, the two are very similar. I love the digital read out telling me run time, fuel power output, etc. This is a great generator at a super price.

My first experience with a generator. Very pleased with quality of unit and set up instructions. Previously had power outage and lost considerable amount of refrigerated products. Although I purchased the unit back in April of this year, I didn't need it until the middle of June. A tree took down power lines and this unit saved the day, as well as the items stored in the refrigerator and freezer!!

I’ll just be honest this is not a very good unit I’d look elsewhere. It worked great the first few times and now not so much. We only use it power outages so it’s basically brand new less than 75 hours of use. Problems are it shuts off for no reason under light load. It will run fine for two hours then engine will just rev up and down for no reason, we didn’t unplug or plug anything in. Fudging with the gas cap seems to help, but you shouldn’t have to do that. Leaving it not fully threaded in and clicked in seems to help. All we do is run fan for our gas stove fireplace, and fridge, and that’s about it. I’m also the kind of guy who follows the manufacturer book as close as I can.

I wanted a small generator for worksites that was portable and quiet. So far, so good. Nice size and weight, and quiet when not under load. Not particularly quiet when powering a power tool, but then the noise of the tool is more than the generator. Haven’t tried full load because I’m still in the break-in period, but it seems to power up quickly and effectively as needed. Only flaws so far is that it takes a few more pulls to start than I’d expect, and access to the oil fill requires removing the side cover, but this seems to be common with this form of generator.

I totally over-researched portable inverter generators before finally settling on the iGen2500. I wanted something to have on hand for our next power outage and a portable inverter unit fit the bill nicely. Setup was a breeze with everything included in the box except for a standard Philips screw driver. The setup sheet and manual are clear and easy to understand. The unit is small and light enough to easily store on a shelf in the garage. I don't have much to compare it to, but the iGen2500 is pretty quiet. The design is clever with an easily-removable side panel to access the oil fill/drain and fuel bowls. As I don't anticipate using the iGen a whole lot, I really like that the fuel system includes a bowl drain and hose to quickly and easily prepare the unit for a return to storage. One of the features that helped me settle on the iGen2500 was the ability to run in parallel mode with another iGen if I ever need it. Westinghouse's parallel cord setup seems simpler and easier to use than others and provides the standard home 120v style outlets a homeowner would need. While not looking forward to it, I finally feel confident and ready for the next time we lose power.
