Generator started in two pulls of the rope and ran quite.

I purchased this product after some internet research on generators. The reviews told me this was a great product, the generator was easy to start and use, and the running noise levels were better than the Honda or Yamaha. I started the generator and plugged several power tools into it and it performed as expected.

Fills the bill.

I am very happy with the iGen2600. It runs the AC and other stuff in my trailer. It's very quiet. In 90 degree weather, after an hour running the AC it shuts down until it cools off. Can't tell if that's an automatic feature or it just happens. The LED display is very helpful. The price is right.

Easy to load and unload from truck, starts on first pull

Purchased it for a camping trip to charge all camera equipment, batteries, laptop and fans. Camping in 100+ degree weather and used it to power industrial fans to help keep cool. I'm really impressed with this portable iGen2500. Next power outage / NO PROBLEM

As advertised, quiet and started easily.

I bought this generator inverter to use with my small travel trailer (Casita) and provide emergency power at home. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Filled it up with oil provided and gas. Started up first pull. Surprisingly quiet. Can’t wait to use it when camping this spring.

Excellent purchase to keep my electronics up and running

Watched many videos and reviews on this inverter before purchasing but still couldn't imagine how quiet it was until I first used it. It is very easy to move around and start by yourself. The display for fuel level, output wattage, time remaining, and running voltage is why I decided on this one vs the next model cheaper. It is easy to see from a distance without going outside to check the fuel. I bought this for running my sensitive electronics while my larger generator powers the rest of my house. I look at it this way, this inverter generator is cheaper than buying a new smart tv that could break due to using dirty, unfiltered, unregulated power coming from a conventional generator.

Powerful and easy to start

Received the iGen 2500 in good condition. Added oil, gas, and started it up on the first crank. Looking forward to trying it out while dry camping with my 22 ft travel trailer. Best of all the iGen 2500 has enough power to run my trailers 13.5k BTU air conditioner.

Couldn't be happier, great product!

I purchased this generator 1 year ago and just this week finally got around to taking it out of the box. I followed the easy start up instructions and guess what? It started on the very first pull. My previous generator took about 20 minutes of pulling to finally get it to start. The display is very informative and it does run pretty quiet. The display tells you how much fuel you have left but it is in liters so it doesn't do me too much good. It does let you know about how much time the generator will run before it is out of gas, that is nice. It is heavy so I do wish it had wheels. All-in-all, this generator is exactly what I was expecting and has not disappointed.

Quick Set up

Received yesterday, set up this morning, and had it running within an hour. (And some of that time was spent getting gas.) It started right up and ran beautifully. It instantly adjusted to the load put on it making an already quiet generator even quieter and more efficient. A Great buy!

So Far Ok

I wanted a suitcase style generator to power my 15K Dometic AC in our travel trailer. I also purchased a Micro Air 364 to cut down on start up loads and it powers the AC! But...there seems to be an issue during the heat of the day. Westinghouse is working with me under warranty, I'll update with any more info. The LCD display is nice, but if you fill up the fuel to FULL the fuel gauge doesn't work until you run it for a while. One one tank of fuel it ran for five hours powering my AC.

Great Price & Performance

Compared to other similar generators such as the Honda or Yamaha you get a great price for the same performance. Combined two iGen2500 along with parallel cords to get double the performance. Can't beat the price! Easy to set up and run both generators. Extremely quiet.
