perfect so far

This generator arrived several days ago and I just fully checked it out. From very manageable size and weight to clearly marked control panel, all is very functional and easily accessed. The choice of fuels is exactly what I wanted since storing gasoline all year long and keeping it fresh is difficult. Now I can just keep propane on hand and, if necessary or if convenient before arrival of a big storm, I can buy gas as a backup. Will update after first power outage.

Started first pull!

Arrived 3 weeks late but I guess that can be expected because of the hurricanes this year causing high demand. Added oil and non-ethanol gas, choked and it started first pull! I have had a Honda 2000 for over 13 years that still runs great but needed more power for AC on my RV. It runs as quiet as my Honda but time will tell about the reliability of the unit. First impression is I am very happy with this purchase.

Ran for 15 days straight

I bought two of these on our way home from a road trip cut short by Hurricane Helene. We hoped to get them running in time to save our frozen and refrigerated foods. We did. Runs great and adequate for our need. The controls are easy to understand. Starts dependably. Just remember to start without a load and don't expect it to power your house. Count the watts on your devices. Don't expect it to power a microwave, toaster oven, or coffee maker unless you dedicate the service just to one if those high demand appliances at a time. We kept one running for 15 days. The oil change interval is a killer, but it takes less than a pint. It's quiet, compact, and moveable with built-in handle. Excellent for emergency backup for basic needs.

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.

Easy to Start and Informative

As someone who bought the the iGen2200 in May 2017 and was satisfied with its performance to date, I expected great things from this set. It met my expectations and then some. Easy to start and a great interface telling me how much run time is left, fuel consumption and load %. Really good addition to my power generation group. Excellent timber finish too

This is a quiet lightweight Gen., which i would buy again!

I needed a lightweight generator, that would give me 2000 running watts to be able to run either my microwave/convection oven or my A.C.! This WH igen2500, seems to give me what I wanted, and started right-up on the first pull. Very happy so far. Getting the multi outlet extension cord, I believe is a must.

Decent Yamaha Clone

Works fine right out of the box. Runs 15,000 BTU AC, but not in Eco mode. Quiet in Eco mode at idle or under low load. When running AC, it's maxed out and quite noisy. I'm going to live with it since it's purpose is my MX race trailer. I really wanted quieter, unfortunately to get quiet while running 15,000 BTU AC means getting unit with >3000 running watts, so it's only at 50% load. Those quiet units all come in at 100 lbs+, not what I wanted.

Powers my RV for approximately 9 hours

I bought this generator to power my Springfield 1800 BH with a 5k btu ac side mounted unit. It powers the entire camper for 9 hours while the a/c is running and allows me to sleep through the night without having to refuel. I can really only hear the generator running as the A/C cycles off while laying in the camper. I will probably setup a system to direct the sound away from the camper but it is fairly quiet.

Quiet and Powerful

I bought the iGen2500 for my 2015 Keystone Hideout 210LHS which has a 13,500btu AC unit on it. I needed a generator to start and run the AC unit. I tried a Honda EU2000i and it bogged it out and tripped the breaker on the generator trying to start the AC. I tried the Honda a couple of times with no success. I left all the breakers on and let the battery charge from the camper Battery Converter (which is 55amps) while trying to start the AC because that's how it should be to me. I don't want to turn off everything to just run the AC. NOW the first time I tried the iGen2500 it also bogged down and tripped the gen's breaker. I fired up the iGen again and turned the AC unit to fan only for a little while and tried it again and guess what, she work's like a champ. It cycles the AC unit's thermostat on efficiency mode with not that much trouble. The iGen2500 display shows when the AC is on at around 50-75% or around 1600 watts. The display is mostly great. The only problem with the display is it shows in liters and not gallons or quarts. My other problem is it has 2 USB 5 volt outlets and NOT a 12 volt output. I wish it had a 12-14 volt output instead. And since this is a powerful, quiet generator, kinda made for an RV ,why doesn't it have an 30 amp STW AND 20 amp socket??? I think it's called an STW socket?? Anyway, so far so good for us. Thanks for reading

Great Value compared to other similar Generators

I own several small generators for our food trucks. These are an excellent value and perform well. Easy to start and the parallel function comes in handy when we are doing more menu items and running our AC in summer. Very happy with these generators.
