I bought this as a backup to a famous red generator that I already own, and like it because of the higher output capacity. The feature set is good. The generator is now broken in and prepped for storage, so while I can't make a side-by-side comparison, I do think that it is a little bit louder than the red one. But certainly not by much. My spark plug was good (and a pull after break-in reveals that everything is good in the combustion chamber) and my fuel tank was perfectly clean. I would have been upset if it looked like the one I saw in the photo in the other review. I've noticed that the button to cycle through the display is a little bit bouncy and can take you to the second next display instead of to the next display. No biggie. The one thing that bothers me a little bit is the way the engine runs. It starts right up with no trouble, but it has a tendency to hiccup a smidge. It runs, but also acts as if there's a microscopic interruption in fuel/spark/something and you can see the entire unit twist ever so slightly when it does this. It's like, "purrrrrrrrrr bleh-purrrrrrrrrr bleh-purrrrrrrrr...." I'm not sure if this is normal or not. It's very minor and it certainly doesn't prevent the generator from doing what it is supposed to do. Maybe the folks here at Westinghouse have some insight into this and can make suggestions. Anyway, ultimately only time will tell, but so far, I am pleased.

Starts 1st or 2nd pull. Easy on gas and pretty quiet. A bit louder and working harder running our older, 13,000 BTU AC unit on the motorhome. Handles newer AC unit on our travel trailer pretty well...75%. When not using the AC....it's very quite and runs all else with ease. So far....really like it. Great investment for our camping.

Bought this as back up for when the power went out recently. After the break in period it did a great job powering my fridge, a small chest freezer, and sump pump, with a little bit of power generation to spare according to the convenient power output indicator. The digital data center is an awesome feature. Very happy with it, definitely recommend.

I bought the iGen2500 03/2021 for when the power goes out and my sump pump is required to run. Delivery was quick, item was well packaged and undamaged. Quick set up out of the box, follow directions on adding oil, gas prime and start. Two pulls and fired up. Runs quieter than expected. I only used it once to run a circular saw and it handled the job with no problem.

I bought this soley for camping. I am extremely impressed with the ease of starting, but mostly with how quiet it is when running, especially in econ mode. It is so much quieter than any RV AC unit. It has an impressive console, fuel gauge, output in KW and Voltage. It even records running hours. That was unexpected. It holds plenty of gas for camping usage and is light enough to pack in and out of the back of my truck. It is a great little power supply.

We moved from a whole house generator to a new subdivision. Always had the security of power in case of an emergency. For the new house I needed just enough to run the refrigerator, TV, some lights and the computer in case of power out. After some research this unit looked like the best for me. The hundreds of satisfied reviews outweighed the few complaints about some damage in shipping. I got the unit delivered, with no damage, absolutely perfect packaging. Like most other reviews, I followed the direction for start up and it fired on the first pull. Amazing how quiet it runs and at 48 pounds its easy to store away and bring right out in case we need it. I'm also impressed with the parallel operation option, in case we need that in the future. Very satisfied with the purchase.

The generator came packaged in perfect condition, with oil and the tools to initiate service. The instruction book was thorough, heavily focused on safety issues, and easy to understand. Initial start-up was easy and successful. The generator was then tested by powering an RV electrical system, to include some higher current-draw items. It performed perfectly, and I am also impressed with the computerized display and the idle function. I would highly recommend this (and have already) to anyone in the market for a 2,000-2,500 watt generator.

Just got delivery of item and it looks great. Came with oil and tools necessary to use generator out of box. Unit is quieter than other leading models of this size and caliber. It is lighter than I expect. Just takes a little space in SUV with room to spare with items already loaded. It last a good while on one tank full and powers almost every thing I use when camping or boondocking. Just an awesome little big package.

I bought about a Month ago. took a week to arrive. Tested Ok on an RV Ran AC, Refrigerator, and Microwave at the same time. Moderate noise a little more then a Honda. Purchased 2 of these and one was defective and Samsclub is replacing it now. So will see when it arrives. Display did not work and ran rough.

I bought the 2200 a few months ago, and love it. I have put 20 hours on it with no issues at all. This one (the 2500) just got unpacked today and ran with a break-in load for about an hour. Seems fine so far! Almost the same outer dimensions as the 2200, but just a shade louder likely due to the larger engine. Still pretty quiet. Now, I'm getting the synch cables to run them both together.
