Feature rich & compact

I bought the iGen2500 a couple of weeks ago, so I haven't put it through all the paces yet. It has tons of more features for your money than some of the name brand offerings. Only time will tell how it performs in the long run. So far I think for uses it'll get the job done.

Fantastic Generator

I just got mine today. I started the breaking in process and let me start of by saying - after primed- one pull start. Next Super quiet, no load on it yet. Like the digital display and cant wait to use this with our camper later this spring. Happy with this little powerhouse thus far, Thank you

Runs Great, Cosmetics rushed

Have had unit for 2 weeks and able to break in using a 13,500 BTU Air Conditioner that pulls 50% load. Unit looks like it was rushed together as some plastic covering was not fully in place and showed plastic stress once removed from box. Mostly just cosmetic but hope it is just that and the motor lasts.

I'm impressed!

Even more compact than I thought it would be. I performed 1hr break-in and oil change. Started first pull. There are plenty of youtube reviews talking about the iGEN2500. Will run travel trailer 13k AC unit (according to youtube vids). I'm still in break-in period, but so far i'm very impressed.

Worked great out of the box

Just got this and it was easy to set up. Liked the screw in funnel because it prevented a messy fill up with oil. I fired it up for a few hours and tried several devices. I try to heat gun and it worked well and I ran a fan for a while and everything seemed to work exactly as if I had plugged it into the house current. I can't speak for longevity but out of the box it seemed to be everything it was advertised to be.

Lightweight, Quiet, Nice Features

Bought this generator for home backup and for RV use Have had a few close calls on losing the contents of my freezer in the summer and worrying about freezing pipes with lose of power to my gas furnace in the winter I have an RV and would also like it to be big enough to run my air conditioner also Almost purchased a larger generator but looked at there weight and did not want to have to lift it in and out of my truck while camping, this generator is easy to lift Calculated the loads that I wanted to handle and the Igen2500 looks like it has more then what I should need Unpacked the generator and it was in good shape, added the oil and gas and after a couple of easy pulls it started and ran well Put a 1200watt heater load on the generator and it easily and handled it Have not fully loaded it yet I really like the information display, the power load, runtime and fuel level are very useful, there is a button on the display that lets you select what function you what to look at I like that the power is clean and I do not have to worry about running the electronic controls on my furnace and the RV systems So far very happy with it

Nice small generator

I bought this last year in case of power outage and finally had to pull it out. I just ran it for a couple hours and so far so good. Occasionally, the engine rev up for a while which is loud. Otherwise, it is fairly quiet. I like the fact that it's pretty fuel efficient. It is able to run the sump pump, refrigerator, 130w laptop, internet stuff (modem/firewall/access point) and few other accessories without issue. What I don't like is the fact that I had to pull a few time to start it.

Great Features and more running and starting watts

Delivered today. Came with the oil in the box, nice. Started on the 3rd pull. Ran for about 10 minutes to warm up, hooked to a small draw for another 10 minutes ran steady. Hooked up to my RV trailer and started my fan ran for 30 seconds, then started my 13,500 BTU A/C after about a second delay the compressor kicked on and was pushing out cold air at around 1600 running watts. Very pleased so far with the iGen 2500, really like the led readout and that it doesn't automatically rotate through the display, but you push a button and can leave it on the display you want to view. So far so good!

Great Generator

I bought this generator in Jan after my Yamaha generator took a dive. This generator is mainly used for remote camping situations where we need to charge our trolling motors. Sometimes this generator will be used for tailgating and other applications. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend this generator to anyone.

Best value

I have friends that have Westinghouse generators and like them so I thought I would check them out. I research the daylights out of anything I purchase. And am I glad I did. I compared them to the yellow and orange brands along with some I never herd of before. I specifically wanted a 2500 watt unit. So comparing the 2500 surge watts to running watts the Westinghouse was the winner. It has a larger CC engine compared to most and that larger engine ran at a lower speed (RPM). These in my mind means longer more reliable life. I like the data center ( which most don't have) so I can monitor its health and performance Got it home filled it with oil and gas read the operators manual and started it up. It was a 28deg. day so it took 3 pulls but it started with authority and ran perfectly when warm. I did the break in procedure and now I cant wait to power up the camper. So far I am very happy with my decision.
