Very Quiet/ Started First Pull

We have tried other generators and this one does the job. Easy to operate, and the features are great. The gauge is very helpful in knowing the status of the machine at all times. Lightweight, we were impressed with how quiet it is, started first pull out of the box and every time so far. Look forward to many years of use. My wife is able to start it and operate it !!

2200 continuous watts and a three year warranty!

This is the third brand of inverter generator I recently purchased (other two were returned unused). The first brand could not be paralleled. The second was only 1600 watts continuous. This unit is 2200 watts continuous and comes with a three year warranty!

Quiet and Powerful

Followed the directions for oil and gas fill, and it started in less than a complete pull. After warm up, I connected several different devices, and it worked perfectly. Seems like just the right mix of power, portability and efficiency for my needs.

Started After First Pull

Unit arrived in great shape and on time from AP Electric. Added oil as directed, filled with Clear Unleaded Premium fuel. Unit started on first pull. As a test I let the unit run for 20 minutes or so powering a 1200 watt toaster oven. Not the most scientific test, but I just wanted to see the unit work. So far so good. Time will tell as I use the unit over the summer.

This generator meets all of our needs.

This is the second iGen2500 Inverter generator that I purchased to attached it to my other unit with a parallel cord to provide extra power. This works great providing the power we need for our pop up food stand. The two units together powers all of our fryers, heating lamps and night and decorative lights (5,000 peak watts and 4,400 running watts) for our branded tent. Lightweight 48lbs; very quiet 52dB, which is necessary for street festivals, 1.0 Gal. fuel tank which runs for 10 hours at a 25% load. Great little setup that meets all of our needs.

Quiet

Perfect for our needs. It is lightweight, easy to operate, quiet, and very powerful. We use it for camping, so portability is very important. The displays on the generator make it easy to understand how much energy you're using, how much fuel you have left, etc...

Great Generator, but not without a rough start....

Short answer....this a really well designed generator, but there are some packing and quality control issues. I would recommend this to a friend. So, I got my generator in the mail.....right after Hurricane Irma hit.....that's my fault. When I opened the box, the silicon package inside (the one that absorbs moisture) had broken and silicon beads were EVERYWHERE......including inside the generator. After quite a while of shaking a 50 lbs generator every which way with the cover off to try and get as many beads as I could out of the generator, I attempted to start it. It did start......but on the 7-10th pulls.....not great. After 3 minutes of running the generator would just die....even with no load plugged into it. When I did put a load on it, it died very quickly. As a former small engine mechanic at a lawn mower repair shop, I started checking gas level, oil level, air filter, and choke....all of which checked out. Lastly, I checked the spark plug and bingo! The spark plug had been WAY over-tightened and the ceramic insulator had cracked. Also, the gap was .003 out of spec. I bought a new plug at AutoZone and installed it. The generator started up on the first pull, ran great and has no issues. I think there MAY be an issue with the power meter on the front....didn't seem like it was giving me accurate readings, but I haven't had time to double check it yet. All and all, a solid little generator, but not perfect out of the box.

Looks like I chose the right company and product

After days of research and youtube videos, I made the decision to choose this inverter generator. All of my research seems to have paid off. After purchasing it today, I took it home and got started with the "Quick Start Guide." I filled the unit up with fresh non-ethanol gasoline. Nice looking unit I said to myself once I got it ready to start. The unit started up right away on the first pull. Quite quiet. I think this is going to be one of my best purchasing. It ran my dewalt 15 gallon, 5 amp air compressor at around a 75% rating of it's power output.

This is a quiet lightweight Gen., which i would buy again!

I needed a lightweight generator, that would give me 2000 running watts to be able to run either my microwave/convection oven or my A.C.! This WH igen2500, seems to give me what I wanted, and started right-up on the first pull. Very happy so far. Getting the multi outlet extension cord, I believe is a must.

Great Generator, I love the Data display

I plan on using this generator for Camping and when the power goes out at home. This Generator is a 2500 Watt Generator but it is not to heavy for me to carry. This is important to us older folks. I got the Camo model and it looks great and blends in with the out of doors
