Nice Generator

I bought this generator mainly as a backup power option for my house to power essentials when needed. Very simple to setup and operate and I like the LCD display features. Generator noise is nice and quiet and it is possible to have a conversation near it without raising your voice. I also liked that it had an oil fill attachment, making setup easy and clean!

Great Features!

I bought this for our fifth wheel. It started right up, and I was surprised at the efficiency of the unit. It barely used 25% of its capacity with all of the lights on in the camper. On top of that, it is super quiet. Really pleased with this purchase.

Light weight, low noise, compact

This is my first Generator, for emergency use only, just tested today, runs nice, low noise, good load sensitivity that helps to keep the THD low. As your load goes up, speed increases, maintaining the frequency, current and voltage. Not tested electronic equipments yet, however no bulb flickering, ran my drill at all speeds, I feel the digital readings shows accurate load %, I tested only up to 35% load., that's enough for me as a quality test. I trust Westinghouse brand, have several products at home, so trust this will be one such long term investment. Relatively low weight (~40lb) for such output, compact design, easy for storage and retrieval.

Started on the first pull, does barely start my AC

I was looking for a small compact generator for mostly camping and also wanted it to be able to run my RV air conditioner if needed. The generator started on the first pole and does start and run my air conditioner. The overload light turns on for a second when I see starts but after that, it says 50% power . I had tried the 2550 thinking it would run my ac because my old 1800 Yamaha does but the 2550 dual fuel would not start the AC and also does not start as easily . I think it will work well . Claims it was supposed to come with parallel cords, but did not.

Easy to use and great features

Bought this after loosing power for a week after a hurricane. Tested it and it easily runs our refrigerator, microwave, TV and satellite, satellite internet and Wi-Fi and a power strip to charge our phones and use a couple of lamps. Had plenty of power left over if we need to run a few other things. Hopefully we won't need it but if we do we are well prepared now.

Happy with Purchase

Happy so far with product. Will run my heater in my tent throughout the winter camping months. Made sure to do the break in with the generator. Changed oil after an hour or so of running. Oil was dirty but didn't see any metal filings or chunks. Was happy with that. My last generator did not come with pre measured oil or a spout to fill so that was awesome. Keeping that for future oil changes. Hopefully the digital read out keeps working. On my dads predator that was the first thing to go. We shall see. For a small to medium camping generator I have been very happy so far.

fantastic unit

pro's starts rite up. runs fantastic. I check the power, it is as advertised. nice-looking unit. comes with everything you need to get started with about a 15 minute set up time. the unit is made well. Cons. the only partial con is the housing rattles a bit. found this to be true with most of the competitors as well. Overall this is a fantastic unit and I will be buying another.

Great Little Generator

I bought this for an upcoming travel vacation and needed a fairly quiet small generator. I found this online and decided to give it a try. When I received the generator I was a bit worried because the box had some physical damage and I hoped that it didn't hurt the generator. After unboxing I was relieved to find that the generator was in great shape. I followed the startup instructions and within a few minutes had the generator up and running. It was not quite as quiet as I thought, but compared to another generator I have it is very quiet. I later found out it is much quieter than other units friends of mine have. The unit starts up first time, display panel and controls are well marked and usable. I ran a few items with the generator to test its capabilities and everything worked with no loading of the generator. Overall, this is a great little generator. May get another one to run in parallel in the near future!

Awesome Features for the Price

I purchased this iGen2500 generator last week and received it yesterday. It arrived on time and in good shape. Opened the box and the product was packaged very secure and organized. Simple basic instructions easy to read. Added the oil put in the gas and it started right up. Mostly purchased this for Texas seasonal use (hot all the time) to run a box fan and basic electrical needs when away from land line power and weather emergency use plus its small portability and long run time. Compared to my other generator that is 4 times larger (size wise), way heavier and extremely loud (louder than a running lawnmower) this little blue guy iGen generator is worth it. I did wish this iGen had a fuel shut off valve. Cant complain about the price and the 3 year warranty plus I like the fact it has a fuel gauge. Should work very well for my needs. *** One thing to note is that I do run my gas generators and gas powered water transfer pumps on ethanol free gas (no gunk build up in fuel lines or engine), run them periodically (every couple of months) with a small load and would use the fuel shut off to stop the generator engine. This would flush the fuel line of fuel and this helps keep the fuel lines clean and help the generator start up on the first pull every time.

Excellent Quality!

I bought this generator a couple weeks ago. Setup was fast and easy. Generator starts on the first pull. It is a little heavier than my “red” generator but the features are better and is just as quiet. I would recommend this generator to anyone looking to run smaller equipment/appliances such as camping and power tools. Runs the RV microwave and will start the RV AC unit on my camper.
