Terrific product for a terrific price!

I purchased this generator about ten days ago, received it promptly, and have already filled it with gas and tried it out. It's easy to start and small enough to store easily. I ordered it upon the recommendation of a friend who also owns it. My husband and I both think it's a terrific product for use in the barn (which has no electricity) at our farm.

quieter than expected

I purchased this generator in case of a power outage if we get a hurricane. setup was easy. Started right up. Quiet! Ran it under load and I love the amp meter display showing the load. I can test check all that I want to run prior to having to use it in an emergency.

iGen2500 Perfect in every way!!!!!

Bought this extremely portable generator for an off grid cabin. Have been using 5500 watt "throw away" generators for 20 years. Can't imagine the fuel I've wasted feeding a machine running 3600 rpm its' entire life. This iGen 2500 is quiet, powerful, portable, and a magnificent display of the data you need. This is the perfect generator even comes with a 3 year warranty like one other expensive brand. If you need something a little more powerful, opt for the 3500 because Westinghouse is the only brand offering a free remote start fob.

iGen 2500

Brought it home from the store, took it out of the box, added the included oil and my own gas, and inverter started on first pull. Eco mode appears to work well - i connected an electric space heater and cycled between off, high, and low heat settings and inverter rpms and output ramped up/down accordingly. I like the LED display showing connected power load. I wish it also showed total engine hours - would be helpful for maintenance.

Power, portability, and price!

I bought this product for outdoors activities and power at home in the event of an outage. The day after ingot it, we had a bad wind storm that knocked out power. I was able to power two heaters and lights, which made the wife and kids happy during the power outage!

Great lil inverter/generator

Ordered on 4/5; order said delivery on 4/17. Got it on 4/7!!! Absolutely spectacular device. My friend also has one, which convinced me I had to have one for my RV. Quiet as any inverters out there at about 3/5 the price. Warranty is great at 3 years. Love love love this device. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this to anyone who needs a compact investor/generator that is ultra quiet and runs like a Rolex.

Runs smooth and quite

Had trouble getting this unit started out of the box. Added oil and fuel and nothing. Drained gas and then it fired up first pull. Must have been something in the carb or tank that blocked it. Runs great now. Very quite and starts first pull every time . This will be used to run my fifth wheel . Should be good.

Compact and Quiet

I purchased the iGen2500 to pair with an iGen2200 that I've had for about a year. The 2500 runs a bit louder than the 2200 but that's to be expected with the larger engine (98cc vs 79cc). Both are still pretty quiet. They paired up nicely with the parallel power cable. The digital info display on the 2500 is a nice feature but not a necessity. The generator arrived within a week of ordering with no damage or any other issues. Overall, I'm very satisfied with both purchases.

Quiet and powerful

This unit does exactly what I bought it for to run A/C on our TT. Very quiet, starts on first or second pull and bonus besides digital front that shows output, voltage, run time, fuel is that it also has an hour meter to be able to know when oil changes, etc are due. Only time will tell on longevity....

Easy To Use

This generator is easy to set up and get started. We lost power yesterday and after several hours decided we better unbox the generator. Set up was quick and easy, as was starting it. This generator isn't intimidating to me as most full size generators are. I am comfortable using it without help from my husband.
