We use this unit for our 5th wheel and so far it has met expectations. I tested it with my wife's blow dryer and it handled it fine. Hopefully it performs just as well when it is 90 plus degrees and I have to use the air conditioner. The blow dryer is 1800 watts so I don't forsee a problem. This unit was half the price of a Honda and has a higher output rating.

I purchased this Generator to power our Lance 2285 as a backup for the solar and to run the air conditioner when campin in the sticks, as well as home backup in the event of a power outage. So far I've just set it up and ran it through its paces with several common household tools, haven't had a chance to hook it up to the camper. Anyway, I never saw more than 50% utilization and never heard it have to ramp up to full speed to power anything I threw at it, even a 5HP shop vac. From videos I've seen on YT, this should power our AC unit (13.5k BTU) with no problems Pros: The fuel gauge is an amazing feature and works perfectly The display constantly rotates through helpful information and updates in real time with the varying load applied, i.e. remaining run-time. It is very ergonomic, lightweight and easy to carry Extremely quiet, can have a normal conversation with someone standing only a foot or so from it The overall feel is that of quality and sturdiness, controls are well laid out and easy to identify and use The gas cap is chained on and the fill spout is very large, making it easy to see the fuel level as you approach full Instructions are well written, easy to follow and getting it all set up, oil in the crankcase and fuel in the tank, was extremely simple CONS: When taking off the cover to inspect/add/change oil or deal with draining the carburetor, getting the plastic side off after undoing the screws can prove challenging, perhaps a molded grab handle or the like would solve this Overall, an extremely good value VS other comparable models, looks cool, performs great, and we look forward to many years of service from our new generator.

The Westinghouse iGEN2500 is equal or lighter weight than most of the 2000 Watts inverter generators that I researched but best of all it's peak output is 500 watts greater. Additionally, it is quiet as most with the exception of the Honda and Yamaha which are only slightly lower but are twice the price. Westinghouse's iGEN2500 with it's larger power is a perfect fit for my new Travel Trailer

Currently I own Honda, Yamaha and Predator generators of different sizes and costs. I was a bit skeptical at first when I saw all the positive reviews on the iGen 2550. but I placed an order and it was on my deck in under a week. I followed the break-in instruction and ran it for a couple hours varying the load. I was extremely impressed on not only how quiet it ran, but how smooth it was running. I changed the oil and pulled the handle one time as it fired right up. For about 1/3 the cost of a Honda, I would definitely say the is a must have!

Excellent generator. The front display panel is great and a big improvement over the Honda my father has. I have used it a few times now just for testing, running the window AC I have in my garage and it handles that perfectly. The only gripes I have, and the reason I gave it 4 stars is that you have to open the side panel fairly often (to empty the fuel and check the oil level if you only use it occasionally) and there is no good way to grab it to pull it off. A small finger pull or handle molded into it would make this generator perfect.

I just received my IGEN 2500. Everything I needed to get it going was included in the box, including the oil. Started on the 3rd pull. Put an electric heater on it to test its output and everything worked perfectly. I bought it to provide safe, reliable power for operating my ham radio equipment off the grid.

Unpacked, followed pre-start instruction, and it started right up. I'm giving it a 3 star rating since I just received it and haven't used it enough to validate it long term quality. Because most seller insist to have a rating immediately to receive their free item, (in this case a cover), here it is. If it does or doesn't craps out after a year, I'll come back and adjust my rating.

My husband's dad has this and after we have been borrowing it, we had to get one! My husband utilizes this on job sites, our converted cargo trailer, emergency purposes and vacation. Runs pretty quiet and pretty light. Appreciate that it was factory tested before receiving it. Cost is more than fair with all its capabilities and qualities.

Great decision, the generator came in excellent packaging very professional. It has all of the features we wanted, rugged design multiple outputs, excellent maintainability, useful documentation. Overall an excellent purchase for the price! Weight may be an issue with me (as I am 84 years old) but so far I am able to load into our SUV.

I have 2 of these. They run fine once you get them to start. Starting is difficult and most of the time requires deviation from the stated process. Both units do not turn off according to the manual instructions. You should cut the gas off and let it stop running. Both of mine will run for hours at like this. You have to end up turning it completely off. I had one of my 2 units replaced under warranty. Received an open box with no oil and still gas in the tank. My neighbor has the iGen2800 and i would recommend that version as it starts and shuts off differently. Once running, it runs great and is quiet. I own 4 generators (thus I am familiar with how to run and maintain. I am meticulous on the break-in and oil changes etc.
