Good value for the money

I haven't had a ton of time with this product yet, however it seems to work as advertised out of the box. I did have a minor issue with it only running for a couple minutes before the oil shutoff turned it off. Turns out the included bottle of oil I got had too much in it, and the level was above the operating range causing the issue. After getting that resolved it seems to run just fine.

Quiet, powerful, priced right

Great little generator for emergency purposes. Bought this to replace a very large generator that was way to much for our needs during an emergency. Who really needs to light up the whole house during a true emergency situation? I need something that is quiet, sips the gas and can easily be secured. This things fits the bill perfectly. Less expensive and more powerful than the Honda with a longer warranty. Seems like a no brainer. Great reviews everywhere you look.

Good so far.

Bought this after researching generators in a class I wanted. Decided on IGen for the following reasons. Overall reviews were good. Price was good. And because things do break Westinghouse had the most warranty centers available nationwide. My model is IGen 2550

Loved how quiet it is

I bought it recently and used it to keep refrigerator working during power outage. It's nice and small and at 77 years old, I can carry it where I need it. We have two children living in town and we share with whoever needs it. Again its quietness is important as we live in a condo association. I also like having the Eco mode although I didn't use it this time with the fridge, I'm looking forward to trying it on the proper load.

Just what I needed for all my RV and Home needs.

Perfect for RV boondocking power. Great for emergency power at home. Easy setup. Added maintenance schedule to my phone calendar. Price was right and the dual fuel capability expands continual use when fuel supply is short. May be a life savor during future global emergency situations.

Quiet and powerful

Received the iGen2500 about a week ago. Setup instructions were clear and simple and took about 5 minutes. Started up first pull. Very quiet, particularly in the Efficiency Mode which drops the idle down to deliver only the power that is needed. I learned quickly that to power high demand equipment, like a compressor, it is best to take it out of Efficiency mode to start it, which makes sense as the surge current takes a few seconds for the generator to ramp up to speed. Otherwise, all my tests of power delivery, volume, etc. are great! Time will tell on longevity.

The perfect Mix of Features for my RV Needs

I was looking for a great generator that was quiet for the campgrounds I stay in. This item is whisper quiet at 52db sound level. Definately one of the most quiet generators I've used. Still in the break in period, but so far, I am loving the simplicity. Fired up on 2nd Pull!

Great Price & Performance

Compared to other similar generators such as the Honda or Yamaha you get a great price for the same performance. Combined two iGen2500 along with parallel cords to get double the performance. Can't beat the price! Easy to set up and run both generators. Extremely quiet.

Less Expensive than Honda

My inverter arrived yesterday. Added oil & gas and it started right up. It's surprisingly quiet. I considered a Honda 2200 but this was about 1/3 the price. It seems to be well made. It's light and easy to move around and store. I'll try to post another review after I use it for a month or so.

Good reliable power so far.

Purchased 7/2/23. Followed the start up instructions. Generator started up on the 2nd pull and provides power as intended. Only gripe-no number identified as the serial number. It's not where the manual said it is. Not where this registration page said it is either so I've listed the number below the bar code
