Great features and plenty of power

I bought this Gen set for powering our fifth wheel and the A/C and it works great!! I really appreciate how quiet it is at all speeds. Very easy on fuel and the digital power and fuel gauge is perfect for seeing how much time is left to run on the gas in the tank. It also features a hour meter. Overall I would highly recommend this product.

Perfect for my hotshot trucking setup

I needed a quiet generator to mount in my pickup to power a portable AC for when I am parked overnight at the truck stops. This generator is perfect. Its quiet yet powerful enough to handle the task. For any hotshot trucking operators out there I highly recommend this unit.

2nd unit with problems

The first unit I bought would not start, even after I followed all of the manufacturers suggestions. The second unit started after about 10 pulls. A puddle of gas quicklky formed on my garage floor. I opened up the side and found the gas leaking from under the carb. The second unit will be repaired under warranty.

Insurance During Fire Season

Unfortunately here in California "Planned Power Outages" during "Wind Events" and "Fire Weather" has become common place. While I have a larger generator at my home, I purchased this one for my daughter and son-in-law who live in a townhome. The size is perfect to fit on their second floor balcony. Plenty of power to run their refrigerator, lights and home electronics plus keep their phones, etc. charged up. The unit is quiet enough so as not to be obtrusive to their neighbors, lite enough to move easily and small enough to store in an out of the way spot. The long run time means they don't have to keep a large amount of gas on hand. Set up was fast and easy with everything you need included in the box. Have only run it for the break in period so far but am impressed with the quick starts and quiet operation. I researched several similar units and the feedback on this generator was very good. The 3 year warranty is also a plus. If you looking for a small, quiet, inverter generator for camping or just for those unexpected/or planned blackouts this is a great choice.

Worked right out of the box!

This replaces an older Westinghouse Inverter that I'm having issues with due to bad fuel. It's hurricane season so I bought this to replace it. Much nicer features than my old one! I did break it in and changed oil. My last one was a tade less power so this one should be even better.I am able to run two large refrigerators and a chest freezer at the same time with this. Let me tell you how..My panel main is off and as are all breakers.By back up fridge and freezer are in my garage on the same circuit. I back feed the generator then plug one in and wait..after a few minutes I plug the freezer in..wait a few minutes then flip the breaker for my kitchen fridge. The power demand is on start up so doing one at a time works. Then I run them for a couple hours then shut down generator for about 3 to 4 hours., then repeat. I did this for three days after a hurricane and everything was perfect. When cooking dinner I leave generator and kitchen fridge on because I am in and out of the fridge. Highly recommended!

Great power

I bought this for RV use. It will start my 15.5k btu rv air conditioner, but the AC does have a soft start capacitor to lower start up amps. It's quiet enough to not bother me and it started on the second very easy pull. Love the run time clock and the fuel gauge.

Easy to use and portable

The item came with all the accessories needed right out of the box to begin immediate use (with the exception of gasoline, of course). The generator started up the first time after a few pulls to prime the engine and on the first pull on subsequent starts. It is relatively light weight with a 72 year old man able to move it without much effort. The digital display is helpful, but would be better if mounted on the top of the unit.

Igen2500 out of box

All the tools and oil and manuals were included and easy to read and follow the directions. will be doing the start up and break in later today. The only thing was the cover for the spark plug doesn't fully seat on the case, found some flashing in the slot and removed, and its better, but still not all the way.

Great features, super quiet, powerful

I purchased this generator for use in my 5th wheel for emergency use and am totally satisfied with it's power and how extremely quiet it is. This generator is light and easy to store in my under compartment and I am extremely happy with my decision to go with the Westinghouse igen 2500

Best Portable Generator Ever

I bought this a month ago a just pulled it out of the box. First off love that the funnel for the oil screws in!! Second, I was surprised on how quite it is! Third, you can pair another generator to it!! Weather has been crazy lately and it seems like its getting worse! I am so glad I am getting myself prepared!! This generator is going to come in handy!!
