I purchased this generator for two reasons. First since we live in Florida I wanted a dependable unit to have in case of a power outage from a hurricane. Second we enter our community golf cart Christmas parade every year. And this year we needed a generator to power all of our lights.

The iGen 2500 will power either one of our camper's 15000 BTU air conditioner units just fine. I had to make sure that all of the electrical loads were switched off otherwise it wouldn't start them reliably. I installed an Easy-Start in one of the units and now it'll start it effortlessly, and I don't have to shut the battery charging circuit off before switching the unit on. 2500 watts (2200 continuous) from 48 lbs. Fantastic

I purchased two IGEN2500 with the parallel cable as a multi-use backup power system. I can use these for powering tools while working on my boat, for camping, etc. The parallel system plugs right into my transfer switch when I need it. I spent a lot of time researching inverter generators before I settled on these. I'll update this review as I learn more.

Short and sweet! I did A LOT of research and you should too. Reviews indicated units arrived with broken spark plugs, bought a new one before my unit arrived. When it did arrive, yep spark plug was broken. Reviews also said to use a magnetic oil filler plug and break unit in properly. I did and glad I did. Lot of garbage in the first oil change at 1 hour. Now for the good, reviews suggested putting upper cylinder oil in cylinder without spark plug and pulling it slowing to lubricate the cylinder prior to starting. I did this with 2 tablespoons of Lucas oil, installed new plug and the dang thing started first pull. Smoked due to the oil but cleared up in minutes and off we go. Runs quiet and YAHOO, mine came with an hour meter. Wish I had known that before I installed the hour meter. It says nothing about it in the owners manual but the last item listed under the digital display is LIFE TIME RUN HOURS!. Time will tell but I will update if there is a need.

We took the iGen 2500 on its first camping trip and it performed great. Our 1 year batteries were not holding a charge so the iGen got a workout. It started with 1 or 2 pulls everytime. It was "surgie" at first, but stopped after we used the microwave.

Was so glad to finally get this 2,200 running watt generator to use with our 5th wheel.I had already installed a Micro Air Easy Start on our 13,500 BTU air conditioner so I would not have to deal with my 3,500 watt generator weighting in at 114 pounds in the back of our truck. As soon as it got here I read the instructions, filled the oil, filled the gas and it started right up (on the second pull). Let it warm up for a few minutes then plugged in the 5th wheel.Then went inside and turned on the air and let it run for a hour and half. The generator never missed a beat it just kept cranking out the watts! Looking forward to some great boon docking this summer. Thanks Westinghouse for a great product.

Bought this generator for a sailboat & travel trailer. Very impressed by starting very 1st pull out of the box and is extremely quit. I was hoping it would run the AC on the trailer and sailboat. I tried running the A/C on the travel trailer but after a few tries I only got it to start once or twice, every other time it would trip the generators overload. I will purchase a soft start for the A/C units which should allow the units to run. I didn't want a larger heavier generator and this is the most powerful rated unit I could find only weighting 48lbs.

After reading other people's reviews about sparkplug problems, I pulled and checked the plug. The insulator of the plug had two large cracks in it. Replaced the plug and ran for four hours, no other problems. Waiting for a call from tech rep to discuss replacing the sparkplug.

I contemplated getting one of the larger units by Yamaha or Honda, but those weight 100-150 lbs and don't provide as much power as two of these units in parallel, and these only weight about 50 lbs each. I use these to power a trailer with 13500 BTU A/C, but occasionally I can hook up to shore. When that happens, it's nice to only bring one of these to power some of my other accessories.

Ran great the first summer it was used however the first use the second year it won't run smoothly. RPM's go up and down. At the end of the first summer the gas was completely drained before storing for the winter. Drained gas again after problem was discovered and filled with new gas-no change Plan on taking it in for a service check to see what the problem is.
