Strong gen, Light and quiet

Was looking for a light weight gen to run my 13,500 A/C on my RV. I decided to install a Micro-air soft start kit and try the Igen2500. The gen started on the first pull and after running on light loads for a few hours, I tried the A/C. The Igen started and runs the A/C easily with power to spare. I then tested the 15,000 BTU A/C (which had no start kit) and was surprised to find that it also would start and run with reserve power. I live at an elevation of about 200' so I am waiting to see what a couple thousand feet in elevation will do to this test, but so far, I am well pleased. The tests were all done with the gen running in ECON mode.

SWEET

I purchased two of these. One product runs top notch, spot on! The other one however.... Upon opening the box one of the cover screws fell out, (Part #100507 Screw M6x16) and I can not re-install. Would not start. I replaced the spark plug with a NGK plug and the motor fired right up. Engine stalled out and died after running 30 mins without any load. Repeated the same process while I was seasoning the engine. three times the engine died with less than 2 hrs run time total. I may have to contact the manufacturer if I can not resolve this.

Amazing product, on for 8 hours with one gallon of fuel

I ordered this for my Dad in Puerto Rico who has been without power for a month. This unit was 54lbs in the original box and was easy to get on a plan. I poured in the oil, filled the gas tank and it started in two pulls. first pull on choke and second on run. Had enough power to run a 10K BTU AC, a fridge, a fan and some lights at 30% power usage which showed would give us 7.5 hour on the small fuel take. the energy mode is great and the displays are very helpful. This unit is very quite as I compared it to the 100's of other I've seen in the use during my week in the Hurricane ravaged island of Puerto Rico.

Surging and quitting too early to tell

I purchased this two months ago to get ready for this camping season. It just has to run my RV 13500 BTU AC and it does/did. As soon as it arrived in May I put it through its paces and all seemed fine. I put it up until a week before our July trip and got it out to run. After one hour, it started "hunting" around, surging, and then quitting. I checked oil, all good. I then put in a new NGK spark plug and it did start back up but a sputtering start. It ran again for about 30 minutes, started hunting, and quit. I started again and it ran fine for two hours and I put it away until today, same thing, hunting, surging, quitting. I need help, I'm counting on this generator for the next two and a half weeks camping. I need customer service. I hope this is something simple as I really like the overall value of this unit and very much want it to work out.

Lots of features not included on other brands

I did the break in procedure with no issues. Lots of features that are not included on other brands at the same price point, like fuel level, and run time remaining. Seems to make good stable power. Lightweight, easy to pack around, and very quiet at low power output, but it does get louder if you load it up.

Best Portable Dual-Fuel Generator For 2024

CARB Certified. With its built-in versatility of dual-fuel at 1,800 running watts, and portability at under 40 LBS, this by itself is already a great consumer product. The fact that it also contained a 30-amp plug-in outlet, provided a practical option for any RV user staying off the grid. Good stuff; nicely designed all around!

The Generator that Could, Great Little Unit...!

I bought this unit to run an Airstream Basecamp when we are boondocking (microwave & AC, or to top off the batteries on a cloudy day). I am impressed with how quiet it is and it's portability. I also love that I don't have to haul gasoline around, I can just tap into the two propane tanks we carry for the trailer since its duel fuel!!

Better than solar

Bought this to camp on Ohio river. Had solar before but the panels would fry thousands of bugs a day and very unreliable. Tried wind but also unreliable plus it was a bird killer. Got the iGEN2550 and wow this baby packs a punch. This is so reliable and it sips good ole petroleum runs forever on a full tank of gas. I don't have to deal with fried bugs and dead birds anymore! I would absolutely buy again.

Excellent generator unit for light RV'ing

Bought this Westinghouse 2500 unit August 2021. So have had time to check it out. It does all I need for RV'ing when electric power not available. Our 23 foot unit does not have large electrical requirements. Just TV and A/C really needed for 125 V and with the addition of an "easy start" A/C start up unit....I am happy. Not to mention the added good feeling of being here in Florida with a little backup generator on hand ! It has been easy to start, controls & LED readout easy to use and see. Unit surprisingly quite. Unit pretty easy to handle since it only weighs 48 pounds !

Generator is an amazing price for the size vs. competitors. Something great to have in an emergency situation.
