Good small RV generator - about 300 hours

Good generator. easy maintenance. Oil changes require either tipping unit or use of a suction device. Spark plugs, draining carb, spark arrestor cleaning is all straightforward. Will run a 30A RV (single AC); stuggles a little (and sometimes trips out) when the AC kicks on but that is fixable by adding a soft start to the AC unit. One gallon tank is somewhat limiting, but OK as long as the AC doesn't run much at night. Much easier than hauling a larger unit and worth a few extra fillups.

Just what I expected

This is the second model of Westinghouse generator I have purchased. I have loved my iGen2200 so much that I bought the iGen2500. The iGen2200 works great but I wanted the additional features (fuel gauge, run time, and voltage meter) that comes with the iGen2500.

iGen2500

Recieved today. I followed the directions, added fuel,checked all fittings and spark plug gap. Turned on the fuel. It started on the second pull. Not difficult to start at all. I believe even my wife will be able to start it. It is very quiet and especially quiet in economy mode. I'm looking forward to testing it out.

User friendly

Finally purchased this inverter after comparing with other brands and am very happy with the value received for the money I paid for it. It's user friendly and the accompanying manual explains everything from initial start up to a quick view assessment of power output vs load. Very happy with this generator/inverter.

iGen2500

I bought this 3 weeks ago to be ready for hurricane season. Got the generator delivered in less than a week. Got it filled with oil and gas and it started very easy. My wife even started it without any issues. Easy to move with one person. Great product and glad we have one if we have any power issues.

Great Features

Bought this for an upcoming camping trip. I love the digital data center and that it is linkable to another iGen2500. The 2 usb outlets are a nice feature along with the 2 120V recepticles instead of other manufactures who have no usb and 1 120V recepticle. Slightly heavier and larger than I thought, but hey it is a 2500W peak and 2200W running which is another bonus.

Bonus

I put in oil and fuel, pulled the handle a number of times, the generator started, ran for a while, powered an 1875-watt hair dryer, and now I submit this review in order to receive a cover which probably should have just been included with the generator. I have absolutely no other experience on which to base a review and thus the neutral star rating. I will leave a highly opinionated review if I do not now receive the cover.

Piece of mind

Glad to have this generator. It's always made me uneasy not to have that backup power, wondering how long the power would be out and what would happen during that time. This one will run a small heater, refrigerator, a few lights, computer gear, TV and recharge phones. And it's light enough to take in the truck for camping.

Great unit

Purchased this iGen 2500 for our rv and am looking forward to it. It has 2200 running watts and 18 amps. More than the other 2500 watt units out there, the ones I looked at have approximately 1850 running watts. I feel I am getting more unit for approximately the same weight as the other brands. Have only started breaking in so far.
