I purchased two IGEN2500 with the parallel cable as a multi-use backup power system. I can use these for powering tools while working on my boat, for camping, etc. The parallel system plugs right into my transfer switch when I need it. I spent a lot of time researching inverter generators before I settled on these. I'll update this review as I learn more.

I really wanted an inverter generator that was good on gas. A friend has the 2200 and loves it. It was supposed to come with a free cover after I left this review. Unfortunately they don't have any covers so I get a power strip instead. Now I need to find a cover

This generator is perfect for what we need!!! We have a small pickup camper without an air conditioner and this runs the portable air conditioner without any problems!!! Also I can charge my phone and watch too! An added bonus is that it is super quiet!!!

Great generator. Starts easily. Nice display and output configuration. Doesn't purr as smoothly as my wh2000xlti but it runs my camper ac and all by itself. I also purchased the parallel cable to pair the two generators, but haven't needed to yet. Light enough for my wife to load and unload.

Just purchased this generator, used for a full day and was impressed with how easy it was to setup and get started. The unit was nice and quiet, and uses very little gas. The manual is very detailed and easy to understand. My daughter bought one also and was able to get it up and running herself without any problems. I would recommend this for anybody not wanting to wrestle a large heavy unit.

I am happy with product but could not get free cover for registration because would not accept link. so now I had to leave a review to registrar product but don't get free cover. I don't like being coerced into providing all kinds of info to be able to registrar a product. please contact me so you can send me my free inverter cover.

Bought this yesterday while my power was out and I had it running about half an hour after I got it home. It powered a fridge and freezer at the same time. It did overload when I also attached a sump pump and air conditioner, but it was easy to reset.

Just picked this iGen2550c up today, filled it with oil and gas, and it started on the third pull. I ran for about an hour. About 20 min of that hour was with the fuel shut off to drain the carb! In the future when we store it, I'll probably just drain the carb into a clean container (such as a clean tin can) and dump the fuel back into the tank. We have a 6 circuit transfer switch that's been converted to 120v. This generator ran our natural gas boiler, fridge, chest freezer, and a few lights without a hiccup. This generator should be OK even if all the motors kick on simultaneously. I used a separate pass-through meter that displays volts, amps, and AC frequency to double-check readings. All the equipment listed above drew about 6 amps max (roughly 720 watts), with occasional spikes as motors kicked in. The AC was pretty steady at 59-60 hertz. Most importantly, the UPS power supply for our Internet connection didn't freak out and keep resetting like it would with our old generator. We'll try it with a small (4500 btu) air conditioner later. The A/C and boiler might be an either/or choice, but that's OK. Westinghouse did a lot of things right on this. Things I liked: - Easy pull start - about as much effort as a chainsaw. - Digital display and LED lighting to illuminate the panel - Lightweight. I can lift it with 2 fingers, and can carry it around like a heavy suitcase. - Easy access to oil drain (well - much easier than our previous generator, anyway) - Simple and obvious controls for starting, stopping. - Loved that it came with a parts breakdown booklet in case we ever need to find parts. - Nice that it included EXACTLY the amount of oil required. I marked the side of the bottle with a marker before I started filling. Now I have a ready-made measuring container that I can keep pre-filled in case we want to do a quick oil change during an extended power outage. - Liked that it included oil fill tube and other tools. Things I didn't like: - Side panels are easy to remove, but feel like the tabs might break in the near future. Learn to be careful with them - Carburetor drain with attached drain tube was nice, but the drain screw must have been tightened with an impact wrench. Almost stripped the screw trying to loosen it. Also, it would have better if you didn't have to remove one of the side panels to drain the carb. Maybe we'll cut a strategic hole in the side panel after the warranty runs out and re-route the drain hose so we don't have to pull the panel off. - A bit noisier than I had hoped for - but still not bad. Not Honda quiet, but not loud enough to disturb our neighbors. You can easily have a normal conversation next to it. Yes - 1 hour of runtime isn't much to form an opinion, but so far we're very happy with this solid little generator for the price.

Just received the generator and it arrived in great condition in a remote area of Alaska. This generator was easy to setup, and the instructions were very clear. It even came with oil. I have only run it with variable loads for the RV but I will be taking it on the jobsite very soon.

I bought this a month ago to use for my camper. It provides really good power and is able to run my camper while also running my air conditioner! I took off 1 start because while it states that it is quieter than the HF equivalent, it didn't seem quieter at all. Would be interested in using it in parallel and was happy to see they included parallel cable.
