Purchase 2 x iGEN2500 plus parallel cable

Both units started on first pull and ran in parallel successfully. The generators ran the air conditioners, the microwave and HWS on electric but went into overload when an electric heater was added. The only negatives were that one of the screws attaching the engine cover was stripped and one of the generators backfired when shut off.

Awesome gerator

This is an excellent generator! Lightweight, compact, and very quiet. I use mostly for tailgating. Its small size is perfect that takes up minimal space in our suv. I wish I had purchased it sooner.The shoe is in the picture to show how compact the generator is.

Love the easy handling

We bought this because of the easy to handle weight. so far starting low sound is wonderful we cant wait to take camping and see how it works. when we open camper up in a few weeks we will try it at the house before we head out but we know we will be pleased.

Great little unit for camping

Bought this iGen2500 because it is only 46 lbs and is rated somewhere at 53/59dB. My old generator is 98lbs and about 70dB. It starts easy and is pretty quiet, although any load at all will cause it to increase RPM and noise level. Noticeably louder than my friends Honda 1600/2000, but it's more powerful. I'm hoping after I add a starter capacitor to my 13,500 BTU AC unit that it will be able to run that too. We'll see. Would prefer being able to check the oil without having to remove the side panel with a screwdriver (2 screws and 4 holding pins). Also, the digital screen is hard to read during daylight hours, and cycles 4 sets of numbers. It's supposed to show run time (since started?) and total run time (like an hour meter). Can't make any sense out of the numbers that show here, so I've put in a request from Westinghouse for an explanation. Expecting many years of RV use on this unit.

Great value

I just received this product a few days ago and so far so good. Well written manual and the unit appears to be fully serviceable. Oiled it up and it fired after the first few pulls the first start up and on the first pull thereafter. Looking forward to many years of use and at the product price point that's a great deal!

Fridge and Freezer Saver

We had some big storms come through and knock out power for a few days. After 24 hours out I purchased this Generator. This easily powered my fridge and full size deep freezer. Plus we were able to run another cable inside to power. our entertainment center. Very quiet! This will come in handy going camping.

Great for camping

I bought this a little over a month ago and used it for a 3 day weekend camping trip. It worked so well. Gas lasted a long time and it powered everything we needed in our RV. It isn't the quietest generator available, but it definitely is very low decibals and wasn't too loud. We just used our jackery box for the night time.

Quiet, convenient and life saver

When we lost power and it was clear it wasn't coming back any time soon we went and bought this to keep our basement from flooding. Less than 5 minutes home and it was running! We got many hours of power before having to refill gas tank. Convenient gas gauge on front so I didn't have to walk outside to check it! I ran my sub pump and refrigerator for 12+ hours with no issues!

Nice dual fuel option

Just bought this to top off my Airstream trailer batteries when off grid camping. Got the duel fuel because you always have plenty of propane available on the trailer. Hooked it up to a propane tank in my driveway at 7,000' and after a bit of a propane line purging issue it started right up and easily ran a 1500 watt space heater even at this elevation. Will try it again in the mountains soon.

iGen2550

The unit seems like it is put together well. I like the features and the price point. One problem though. My unit will not shut off with the selector switch. It came like this new out of the box, which was disappointing. I have to wait for the fuel line to run out of fuel before the unit will shut off. The warranty department has been prompt and helpful. The closest service center is a half hour away, which isn't great. Hopefully this will be the only issue.
