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...

I purchased this generator for running a small air conditioning on a boat and as a backup generator to power essentials in my house in the event of an extended power outage. The igen2500 easily fits the bill. Its light, has plenty of power and is easy to start.

Power was cut for 2 days of maintenance... since I work from home I had one shot to get this right and Im glad I did. Never looked back. 1 15CF Refrigerator/Freezer 1 Chest Freezer 1 APC UPS 1500W powering 2 laptops, 1 docking station, 3 monitors, headset 2 Fans 1 Breville coffee maker At first I wasnt sure it was working.... nothing registered a load. Barely registered when the ref/Freezer kicked in but barely. Once the cappucino maker kicked in at 1800W it shot up to 50% load during the duration of the heating operation. After the cappuccino maker was done - it went back down to purring like a cat. If I had need for a second one I will buy the same one - but this one served nicely. Make sure to buy a Y cable or other converter with the proper gauge maybe 10/12

I have been looking for a nice quiet, light weight, fuel efficient with at least 8 operating hours, 2500 Watt Inverter Generator at a decent price for years. Well, look no further, this is it! It will also run and charge all of your electronic devices safely without fear of damaging them. This Westinghouse generator does it all.

Purchased the iGen 2500 to run the a/c on my RV travel trailer. Used in conjunction with a Micro-Air soft start kit, this generator will easily start and run my 15,000 btu a/c. even with ECO mode on. Easy to set up and started on the first pull right out of the box! Great value. Would buy again.

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.

Filled the engine up with supplied oil and pulled cord several time to get the oil moving around. Put about a half gallon in the tank. The unit started in 3 or 4 pulls. The engine died a couple of times but is running steady now. Plan to use the generator for my drone business and the house if the power were to go out for any length of time. I was concerned about how will the unit would run since my house is at 6000 feet+. Prior to buying, I called customer support they told me that the unit had been tested up to 4500 feet. The rep said that in early 2018 they were going to sell a high altitude kit. So I plan to buy that once they start selling them.

There is not a firm detent for the run position. The motor surged while I hunted for the optimum position for the switch. After a total of 5 hours run time, the motor still missed a beat every few seconds under light load. The weight is light for the maximum output available, the readouts are good to have, noise level is appropriately low. While in economy mode the engine appropriately speeded up when a heavier load was applied.

Bought this a few day's ago went out today to try it on my fifth wheel 1st pull it started ran all lights inside and microwave no hesitation then went on to try the air conditioner ran at 50% power them turned on a few lights with it no hesitation again would totally recommend this iGen2600 light weight and quiet

I have tested my igen2500 a few times now and so far its done great. It is easy to start and is extremely quiet when running. It is the quietest generator I've ever been around. I also enjoy the LED data center. You can quickly and easily determine the status of the generator. So far, I'm very pleased with my purchase
