I have a larger Westinghouse generator I purchased for power backup to my house and to power my travel trailer when parked at campsites that don't have hookups. That unit is fairly loud and uses a lot of gas. I purchased the iGen2500 because it is smaller, quieter, and has an eco-mode to save on gas. Out of the box and gas added, the unit started right up. I tried using it to power the 15K btu AC on my travel trailer, but the unit required more startup power than the generator could provide at peak. I installed a soft-start device on the trailer's AC unit and now I can run it on the generator. That generator runs great, and I really like the gauges on the front. It's great to see the power it's producing (amps and voltage), and the remaining fuel level. Another thing of note is that the unit comes with a 1 year parts and labor warranty and a 2–3 year parts warranty.

I spent months looking for the right generator to add a collection of emergency preps. It was important to get something that would run my computers without blowing them up, be easily moved and easily stored. This by far stood out so I was super happy when it arrived. It worked like a dream and I feel far better prepared knowing I have instant portable power

My son has the same model Generator, I've borrowed it 3 different times when dry camping in our trailer in the Sierras. Really impressed with it, was able to use our microwave and keep the batteries charged up. My wife really liked being able to use her hair dryer and curling iron. Works out really well for us.

My brother gave me a generator for Christmas, but it had an open frame and did not have idle control. I exchanged it for the iGen2500 and couldn't be happier. The economy mode switch allows the generator to run at a very low (quiet) idle. I bought this to run my camper and it will undoubtedly keep our batteries charged, power our accessories and be extremely quiet. I put a load on it and tested it a bit -- the idle kicked up to accommodate the draw but was still quiet. Considering it has an inverter, this is a fantastic way to create a quiet and clean stream of electricity.

OUT OF BOX, ADDED OIL AND GASOLINE. EASY FIRST PULL IT STARTED. AFTER SHORT WARM UP TURNED EFFICIENCY MODE ON. PLUGGED 30 A POWER CABLE FROM RV TRAILER. WENT INSIDE AND SWITCHED ON A/C. IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND CYCLED ON AND OFF AS CALLED FOR. PERFECT FUNCTION IN THAT EFFICIENCY MODE. NEXT DAY STARTED WITH EASY FIRST PULL. CHECKED WHEN A/C WAS RUNNING ON AND 30 FOOT POWER CORD TO RV INSIDE VOLTAGE WAS 119 WITH A/C RUNNING. VOLTS INSIDE WITH LITTLE LOAD ON WAS 121. SO VOLTAGE REGULATION IN RV WAS PERFECT. THE LED FUNCTIONS WERE VERY HANDY. THE iGEN2500 MORE THAN MET MY NEEDS. I'M 82 AND CAN HANDLE THE WEIGHT TO MOVE IT ETC. I RECOMMEND YOU SERIOUSLY LOOK AT HIS UNIT. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS MODEL BEFORE ORDERING ONE.

I purchased this generator about ten days ago, received it promptly, and have already filled it with gas and tried it out. It's easy to start and small enough to store easily. I ordered it upon the recommendation of a friend who also owns it. My husband and I both think it's a terrific product for use in the barn (which has no electricity) at our farm.

Bought it to replace a conventional generator for camping - half the size / half the weight. Just tried it this morning. Seems to be as advertised. Looking to using it on a long trip upcoming, as well as, several one-weekers later this year. Not as quiet as I had hoped - however, my test spot is an echo chamber.

Bought this generator for specific reasons. Using it to run window air conditioner or space heater in the home and the air conditioner on my RV if we were to lose power. Can handle everything I've plugged in and then some. Extremely happy with purchase and recommend for anyone looking for emergency power. Plus it's light and can be hand carried.

Bought this for camping and to be able to run a deep freeze incase of inclement weather. Then look, size, and weight are great for throwing in the truck to be able to recharge batteries while camping. The pull start is very smooth and easy so anyone can start it and it starts on the first pull every time!

I have only purchased and broken in the unit but wanted to attest to the high quality packaging, the owner's manual layout, and how easy it started and purred. Very quiet and I feel confident going into hurricane season after researching and buying this unit
