I was in the market for a generator to power essentials during storm outages. I did a deep dive into ratings/reviews of several generators, and finally decided the iGen 2500 was the best deal for the money. When the iGen 2500 was delivered I eagerly opened the package as if it were Christmas morning. At first glance I was impressed with the build quality. Next, I spent 10 or so minutes reading the enclosed manuals and completing the online product registration. After following the quick start guide, the iGen 2500 started up on the very first pull. I ran some power tools for an hour or so with no issues. However, there is one feature needed that is quite inexpensive. Add an on/off switch to the gas line, so for extended periods of sitting with no usage the carb will not gunk. Overall, I am very pleased with my new toy, but this rating is based off only a few days of usage.

Unboxed, pleased to find oil and tools enclosed. Package arrived in good shape. Read the quick start guide, added the oil and filled tank with gas. Pulled one time to get some oil circulated, turned to choke and started first pull! Used about 30 minutes trimming a large hedge, ran great.

We needed a single easy to carry generator that could start our A/C on our RV. This guy can do it. At 2500 watts and 18.3 amps, you can get that A/C started in combination with an Easy Start on your A/C. It starts easy, maintenance is a breeze, even has two USB ports. We love the display which gives us all the information we need to ensure we are operating smoothly.

Bought this to run the 13.5k A/C on our RV. This should have enough power to run the A/C without an A/C soft start controller. This unit has more power than a similar unit for almost the same weight. Great User Manual, well written. I am finding spare consumable parts (air filter, fuel filter) are hard to find online. Really like the data (fuel gauge, power, volts, time) on the control panel

I have a larger Westinghouse generator I purchased for power backup to my house and to power my travel trailer when parked at campsites that don't have hookups. That unit is fairly loud and uses a lot of gas. I purchased the iGen2500 because it is smaller, quieter, and has an eco-mode to save on gas. Out of the box and gas added, the unit started right up. I tried using it to power the 15K btu AC on my travel trailer, but the unit required more startup power than the generator could provide at peak. I installed a soft-start device on the trailer's AC unit and now I can run it on the generator. That generator runs great, and I really like the gauges on the front. It's great to see the power it's producing (amps and voltage), and the remaining fuel level. Another thing of note is that the unit comes with a 1 year parts and labor warranty and a 2–3 year parts warranty.

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.

Everything about it seems to be good quality. I wish it had a standard 30A outlet so I could plug my 30A RV cord directly into the unit. With a MicroAir EasyStart system installed, I'm able to run my Dometic Brisk II AC as well as my 6cf Norcold RV refrigerator at the same time. I would have liked to see a proper break in procedure documented in the manual and quick start guide. In short, pull the spark plug and use the included funnel to pour about 1/2 ounce of oil directly into the combustion chamber. Then SLOWLY pull the starter cord about 15-20 times to ensure the cylinder walls, piston skirt, and rings are fully saturated with oil. The put the spark plug back in. Yes, it will smoke like crazy on startup the first time and this is ok. Put the included oil in the crankcase as instructed...gas it up and start it with ECO mode off. Once started, turn from choke to run position, then turn on ECO mode. Run it with no load for about 30 minutes. Stop the engine, drain the oil...yes it's black. Now, do it again, this time at about 25% load for 1 hour. Change oil again. Now run it a full power load through 1 tank of fuel. Then change oil again. After the first break in step, start using full synthetic oil. This procedure take some time and is a bit of work but it will ensure the engine is broken in properly and should last MUCH longer. Don't believe me? When you drain the oil the first time, drain it into a glass container and look how black the oil is. It will be like that the first 3 oil changes. After 3 changes, then run as recommended...50 hours between changes...always using synthetic. Also note that you don't have to use 10w-30. The manual says that you can run more temperature appropriate oil as needed. Also, get a better spark plug. You should go ahead and get 2...change out the cheap Torch brand after the break in. then have another on hand as a spare.

First impressions I have is all positive. Instructions were easy to follow. I filled it up with oil and gasoline. Following the instructions, it started on the first pull and runs as quiet as advertised. I tested it with a heat gun to put it under a load and it did great. At this point, I am very satisfied.

Bought this Westinghouse 2500 unit August 2021. So have had time to check it out. It does all I need for RV'ing when electric power not available. Our 23 foot unit does not have large electrical requirements. Just TV and A/C really needed for 125 V and with the addition of an "easy start" A/C start up unit....I am happy. Not to mention the added good feeling of being here in Florida with a little backup generator on hand ! It has been easy to start, controls & LED readout easy to use and see. Unit surprisingly quite. Unit pretty easy to handle since it only weighs 48 pounds !
