I bought this as a backup to a famous red generator that I already own, and like it because of the higher output capacity. The feature set is good. The generator is now broken in and prepped for storage, so while I can't make a side-by-side comparison, I do think that it is a little bit louder than the red one. But certainly not by much. My spark plug was good (and a pull after break-in reveals that everything is good in the combustion chamber) and my fuel tank was perfectly clean. I would have been upset if it looked like the one I saw in the photo in the other review. I've noticed that the button to cycle through the display is a little bit bouncy and can take you to the second next display instead of to the next display. No biggie. The one thing that bothers me a little bit is the way the engine runs. It starts right up with no trouble, but it has a tendency to hiccup a smidge. It runs, but also acts as if there's a microscopic interruption in fuel/spark/something and you can see the entire unit twist ever so slightly when it does this. It's like, "purrrrrrrrrr bleh-purrrrrrrrrr bleh-purrrrrrrrr...." I'm not sure if this is normal or not. It's very minor and it certainly doesn't prevent the generator from doing what it is supposed to do. Maybe the folks here at Westinghouse have some insight into this and can make suggestions. Anyway, ultimately only time will tell, but so far, I am pleased.

I ran this iGen2500c for the recommended break in period. I must say this is the easiest generator I’ve ever started. Two pulls and it fired up. If runs pretty quietly and is easy to monitor with the digital display. It is well worth the price paid.

This is just perfect for our camper. We can use the microwave and safely charge our smartphones and laptops. Quiet was a big influence with which generator to buy. This was quieter than many of the other leading brands and it supports the wattage it claims without hassle. Not heavy to carry around either. Less than 50 pounds!

Bought this unit to supply power for a hunting cabin. It ran all the indoor and outdoor lights, plus tv, coffee pot etc. We ran it every night for 6 to 8 hours for a month. It started on the first pull every time and the gas tank rarely got below 1/4 tank each day. I would highly recommend this unit.

Clear instructions, easy pull, started first time. Very quiet, looks great, easy to move. I have run it only a few hours to check it out, very pleased. One problem, however is the LED data center. I filled with gasoline, but it only showed 0.9 liters, and a little over 3 hours of run time left. I ran the time down to zero and it didn't affect the operation. Maybe a float is stuck and will eventually release. The fuel remaining stayed at 0.9L. I assume when I get to 0.9L, this value will begin to drop. I will still have a warning. Not a big enough problem for me to lose faith in this machine. Would highly recommend it

We were very surprised at how quiet this generator was. We plugged in our camper and even with the ac running, this generator never moved off of the 0 percent power used meter. With a gallon of gas, we showed 9 plus hours on the hour meter until empty. Perfect for camping or tool shed for power needs. Won’t have an issue running fridge or freezer when power goes out. Great buy.

This is a review of my second igen2500 puchase within a week, just like the first generator it started on the first pull, quiet ect... and with the second generator I was able to parallel them together it was very easy I watch the demand load on the display both generators shared the load equally a great piece of mind to have power to run refridgerators, lights, charge cell phones ect... when your power is out.

Quality product. Excellent packaging - and comes with everything you need in the box (except gasoline). Easy set up. The controls are self explaining and the visual display is a big help. No more guessing about fuel, run time or power load. It’s all there in color! I’m very happy with this generator.

First impressions are very favorable. Assembly in Vietnam instead of China is a plus. Quieter than other gen's that I have tried. The lighter weight allows this 73 year old to lift it into the truck bed and move it around. The only load it has had so far is a 1200 watt compressor - which was slow getting the motor to speed. I think the generator takes a while to provide enough amps. Once going it pulled 50% load which would be right.

We used the Igen2500 for 2 weeks after hurricane Ida. We powered 2 refrigerators, 2 fans, 2 phone charges, a PC, cable modem and wi fi router periodically during the day and all night ,overnight on just 2 gallons of gas per day. Saved us as we did not know when gasoline would be available.
