What a solid generator. Setup was easy, started up on second pull and purrs like a kitten. Just broke it in with a tank of gas and added fresh oil, it's now on standby. (P.S) there out of the free generator cover your suppose to get after leaving a review, now you just get a power strip ( woo hoo). I need a cover man...

got it, added oil and gas, started first pull ran a 1500 watt space heater in the garage for 3 hours. I overfilled with gas the second tank and it would not run right after reading the manual I noticed the igen2200 has a gas tank vent. I opened the gas cap and ran till gas level was below the red marker put the cap back on and it runs great. A caution not to overfill would be helpful in the instructions

First unit didn't function well. Les in Customer Service was very helpful and all is well. We "dry camp" a lot and use the generator to supplement our solar charging during rainy weeks like we just had and when 110v appliances are used like microwave and hair dryer.

Pros: - Oil & funnel included - Started for first time on first pull - Light (for me at least) - LCD readout is useful - Paralleling function works Cons: - A phillips-head screwdriver is needed to take the side off (no big deal really) This little devil turned out to be everything that I had expected and hoped for. The box arrived somewhat damaged, but I went ahead and opened it anyway, and the generator was just fine. There's a small container of oil and a funnel that come in the box. It took almost no effort to fill the oil reservoir; just pop the cover off and fill it up. My generator took the whole jug of the provided oil. I did not add any additional oil. Before the first start, I filled the gas tank about halfway with ethanol free gas from the local Bucees. I choked the engine, and it started on the first pull. After about 5, maybe 10 seconds, it became clear that it no longer needed the choke, so I dialed it down to the "Run" position and the generator ran just fine. The parallel cable works very well. Another guy at the office bought the same generator and the parallel cable, so we tested it out with a series of shop fans and a portable A/C unit. The load balancing appears to work well (18% & 26% with fans; 80% & 82% with A/C and fans). 10/10 would recommend!

The generator is a good value, starts easily and I like the status display. The only issues are there is no hours of use display and even though it has a variable load throttle it seems a little loud even at no load. I have a sound meter and measured the sound level closer to 57 dBA at no load at the standard 7 meters (23 ft away) instead of the 52 dBA at 25% it is rated. Odd thing is that is doesn't get much loader at full load which measured 61 dBA? One issue could be is that the idle speed is set to high (it also is not running smoothly even with fresh gas) or maybe it will get quieter after break-in? After break-in if this is still happening I may take it to be adjusted.

I wanted a lightweight solution to run my RV AC, and after extensive generator research I decided to install a Micro Air 364 soft starter for my 15,000 BTU RV AC. I purchased the iGen2500 due to other reviews as well as a recommendation from Micro Air. I received the generator, filled the oil and gas and it fired right up after 2 pulls. I then decided to put it to the test with the RV AC system. Plugged the RV into the generator and the A?C fired right up. I ran it for an hour or so and the generator performed awesome. So, if you are looking for a small lightweight generator to run your 15k BTU AC, go get the soft starter 364 and the Westinghouse iGen2500.

Going to use this with our Fifth wheel. It started and ran for 5 seconds. then died. Started and ran for 5 more seconds and died. Did this several times. Now I have a call into Westinghouse service to see what the next step is. I guess I'll have to update this review after I get a unit that runs. Based on the reviews it looks like a good unit but we will have to see what happens next.

I have a small 30A travel trailer that can run just fine on 20A, as long as you don't turn it all on at once. This generator provides up to 18.3A (according to documentation) and worked perfectly to run 5000 BTU air conditioner and 2.7'cu fridge and lights, with only 25% load showing on the display. Unsure of exact dB level (claim is 53dB with no load) but very quiet. Simple operation and excellent documentation included (too rare these days).

I have not used the generator yet but started it when I purchased it and was pleased with its small size and 2500 amp peak operation. It is not near as niosy as my last generator. Having been through 2 hurricaines and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I hope we never have to use it but I now feel prepared. My last generator was bigger but used fuel at a much more rapid rate. This will operate the window A/C we purchased for emergencies as well as lights and the all important coffee pot!

I purchased two IGEN2500 with the parallel cable as a multi-use backup power system. I can use these for powering tools while working on my boat, for camping, etc. The parallel system plugs right into my transfer switch when I need it. I spent a lot of time researching inverter generators before I settled on these. I'll update this review as I learn more.
