We ordered this generator in response to storm power outages so that we could run our refrigerator, upright freezer, and some lights in the house. The generator handles these items easily. It is quiet, easy to start, and easy to service (change oil, etc). When the generator arrived it started great and generated electricity as expected, but one of the LED indicators was not working. I called Westinghouse and they were very responsive. They immediately sent me a new generator and also sent me a shipping label to ship the other one back. I am impressed with the performance of this generator...and it was only 40% of the cost of Honda!

My original iGen2500 developed quite a few small problems during the first 8 hours or so. I got to the point of "enough is enough". The seller arranged a prompt exchange. The replacement unit has only one very small issue, after completing 15 hours of break-in. The service cover, on the side, vibrates and makes a buzzing noise. I had some adhesive backed foam weatherstip material, and cut a couple small pieces to place between the service cover and the plastic case (generator "body"). Problem solved. When under a big load, it is not quiet. But it is less obnoxious than my big open frame generator. The digital display is a big plus. Starts easily with 1 or 2 pulls, even with my arthritic shoulder. If it gives good, reliable service over the long run, I would give it 5 stars.

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!

I bought this over a year ago. This is my first generator and I wasn't sure what to expect. I have used this more than I thought I would and it has been great. I have use it for camping a lot. It has worked great with my camp trailer. I have also used it a lot for other recreational activities. I highly recommend this generator.

Love this little generator. Small enough to be easily portable, but powerful enough to do its job. Easy to use, great features. Our power went out for an extended amount of time due to an ice storm, and it was such a relief to have our chest feeezer and garage fridge running and not lose all our food.

So glad I bought this generator. Hurricane Ida hit us 17 days after it was delivered. I was out of electricity for 6 days and it was very hot. I was able to plug in my refrigerator, freezer, tv and fan. Being able to watch tv to get information was great. At night we were able to sleep using a small air conditioner. Easy to use and manage. Love it.

I bought this to use with my new Camper. Started right up and ran flawlessly for two hours on one cup of gas. Runs everything I need including the AC. Just used it in my shed to power my 1500 amp heater and a light while I was working out there in the bitter cold for a few hours. Support was great when I called up with a couple questions about the LED Display. Would recommend as its very quiet, light enough to carry around with one hand, powerful, and efficient.

As an MC and race announcer I am in need of power when a plug in source is not available and this unit has proved to carry the load of my voice and streaming music through my sound system for hours on end. Pretty user friendly for a non mechanical/technical operator like myself and any issues I've had would have been alleviated if I would have JUST READ THE DIRECTIONS! Personally I like the color because it ties in with my logo and separates itself from others being used at events. Would buy another if I'd ever need to.

It's pretty heavy (I guess "lightweight" is relative to other generators) and louder than I expected. But it seems to work well so far (still doing the break-in). I tested the noise level with a decibel meter on my phone with no loads on and it was 77 dBa from 10 ft away and 70 dBa from about 50 ft away. This was without eco mode on though - so as I understand it, at full rpm (but no loads yet). When I put some load on, it got louder. I'll have to test with eco mode on. I wish they would publish decibel ratings for load levels other than just 25% (what I got is well higher than 52 dBa). I like the digital display including hour meter, fuel estimates and power output being used.

iGEN2500: Meets or exceeds peak power output and noise level specs. Runs my RV's 13.5 kbtu AC unit, including compressor startup surge. Will not run microwave at same time, but so what? Good mid-size generator for RV at this price point. Time will tell how durable it is.
