iGen2500 for BBQ Comps.

We purchased two iGen2500 to use for our BBQ Competitions and our other competitors will thanks us for a restful night, now that they do not have to listen to our old loud generator running all night long. With these two iGen2500s, we have more than enough power to run everything in our trailer.

4 Stars... For now

Received and after a moderate break-in with a couple oil changes, immediately put to use. Ran Lucas Safeguard Ethanol Fuel treatment. Initial quality is there and I was happy that it started and ran my 13.5 BTU A/C on our first outing. Just barely though. And there were a couple instances where the breaker did trip between A/C compressor cycles. That said, it was an incredibly hot weekend! I also had some trouble restarting between fuel changes and general rest periods that I would give it. Seemed heat related. Also, oil had to be added after approximately 15 hours of first, hard Use which I would consider normal. There also were periods of rough running, hence the initial 4 Stars. Quiet as advertised and besides a couple concerns, I think if we'll maintained, this will be a great unit, particularly with a second in parallel!

Bought after much research, most powerful and priced right!

Just purchased this generator. Added oil and gas, started up with first pull! Everything was packaged just as advertised. Much quieter that standard generators. Intend to use for camping, and I see not reason that a five star rating will not be warranted after actual use. Satisfied so far!

Started right up on first pull but issues after 5 hours

Worked great for the first couple uses, but now with only 5 hours on the unit, the Off selector is no longer working... currently working with the Warranty department and pending their response to the issue, will upgrade this review to 5 stars. Assuming they fix it or replace it, I am overall pleased. The 2500 was able to power my Travel Trailer AC at 9500ft without much effort!

Great little generator.

Great generator. Starts easily. Nice display and output configuration. Doesn't purr as smoothly as my wh2000xlti but it runs my camper ac and all by itself. I also purchased the parallel cable to pair the two generators, but haven't needed to yet. Light enough for my wife to load and unload.

Generator started in two pulls of the rope and ran quite.

I purchased this product after some internet research on generators. The reviews told me this was a great product, the generator was easy to start and use, and the running noise levels were better than the Honda or Yamaha. I started the generator and plugged several power tools into it and it performed as expected.

Great!, but no cover.....?

Bought to take camping with our R.V.- it runs great, is powerful enough to run the air conditioner or the microwave, is extremely quiet, and light enough to be very portable! My only complaint is that it seems to have a slight sputter while running- even with no load on it. That being said, it hasn't posed a problem yet!

Has the power to do what you need where you need it!

I bought this inverter to power my camp trailer and charge batteries. This has enough power to run my AC unit on my trailer. Quiet running (actually I thought it would be quieter) but when you walk 10 feet away you kinda forget its running. Easy to start and operate. Very fuel efficient, I ran on encono mode most of the summer.

First time generator user - super easy to setup and start

I have never used a generator before. I wanted the family to be prepared for any power outages during hurricane season or the typical winter ice storm in NC. The iGen 2500 was super easy to set up, came with its own oil and funnel, I just needed to add gas. It started right up without any issues. I bought the iGen 2500 because I wanted to be able to easily - at a glance - know how much fuel I had remaining. The digital display of time remaining, fuel remaining, and power usage are AWESOME. Why doesn't every generator come with that feature - thanks Westinghouse!
