I purchased this generator to run a sump pump and some lights when the power goes out. After shopping around, I don't think you can beat this unit for the price. It has more output than anything else in its class. The controls are very easy to understand and the manual is spot-on with details on maintaining this gem.

I chose the iGEN2500 because of the extra wattage in a unit of the same size and weight as units with lesser wattage. Unpacked the iGEN added gas and oil, and unit started on second pull. Have used it on varying loads and performs very well. Not as quiet as the much more expensive Honda but........I've got more available watts!! Very pleased, just wish the cover was still available!!

Albeit early, I already have an impressive story on this product. Out of the box, it's incredible easy to set up... add oil and gas and your done. The directions tell you to initially gentle pull the start cord until you feel resistance. I pulled once, then twice and then on the gentle third pull the darn thing started... quite as a church mouse. Very impressive. Now time will tell on the product longevity..

Works great and is actually pretty quiet. When under a full load it gets loud but hey.. It's a generator lol the first one I received the cord got stuck out and would not go in after the 2nd pull but they sent me a replacement instantly so great customer service!

I purchased this model for the power output and size. I intend to use it for my travel trailer and as a backup for power outage after going through hurricane Irma 10 days no power. I can use this to keep refrigerator running 24 7 without running my big generator. As after a storm its hard to get fuel. Really quiet and smooth running.

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.

I only received this generator today. It arrived well packaged with zero damage. I added the oil and fuel.. and it started on the second pull. Its very quiet.. and the engine idles very smoothly. I tested it with a space heater and it had no problem.. and it took only 25% load on low setting and about 40-50% at high setting. The price was excellent.. and about half the price of the Honda 2000 and it has more power. I'm looking forward to using this generator for camping.

I test run my iGen 2500 and it started right up with no issues at all.It was super quiet and very effective.The product came with almost all the things you needed to start it up.The only missing thing was the gas which i know was for safety reasons.It was super easy to set up and operate.The instructions in the manual were pretty easy to follow..it's very economical as far fuel efficiency is concerned.It's the best generator out there in its division and I highly recommend it to everybody.

Unpacking it took longer than filling with oil and gasoline and starting. It fired up on the second pull. I bought it for a variety of power tools but mainly to power the 13,500 BTU AC on my Oliver Elite travel trailer. I'd already installed a Micro-Air EasyStart soft start unit on the AC with plans to buy one of those red generators or the other blue one, which produce less power, cost more and have fewer features than the Westinghouse. The EasyStart was needed for those less-powerful units. But then I learned about the iGen2500 on the Micro-Air website. Micro-Air says the iGen25000 will power ACs up to 15,000 BTU with the EasyStart. So maybe it will run my 13,500 in the Efficiency Mode. My trailer is stored elsewhere so I haven't tried it yet. But so far so good. The iGen2500 looks like a well-made generator. I really like the LCD display. I just wish it showed total run hours to help with maintenance.

Initial impressions are quite good. Seems to have a better overall fit and finish compared to my WH2400i. The entire side can be removed for maintenence which seems much more convenient than my 2400 though valve lash adjustment requiring access to the valve cover still appears to require a more complete disassembly much like the 2400. Love the runtime indicator as it helps to make scheduling maintenance less of a guessing game.
