Packaging was good, Label indicates its built in Vietnam FYI. Fit and finish seem good. Initial start was done on propane, took quite a bit to get running, but was about 6c out. Once warmed up it ran smooth, and quiet. I kept small loads on it, varying ti for an hour, then changed the oil. Next will be more running on fresh oil and slowly increasing loads, for a several oil changes.

Put the oil in and gas and it started on the second pull. Runs smooth and I would consider it to be very quiet, now the heavier the load the harder it runs the more noise it makes, but if you are using small appliances and can run it on eco mode it is just a little purr. I have very high expectations for this little guy. I purchased this for power outages so we won't lose everything in our refrigerator and freezer. Also we expect it to be useful with our small travel trailer

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.

I bought this small inverter generator to power a camper because of the RV receptacle and the dual fuel feature. Runs great, powers my RV appropriately and even handles the A/C unit. It arrived with every I needed to get it up and running quickly and it is very quiet.

I received this inverter for Xmas 2024 and the timing could not have been better as we are expecting severe cold weather that could very well result in an outage . My wife is on a oxygen concentrator 24 hrs a day so not having power is not an option for us. The test start up went without a hitch.

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.

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.

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!

I purchased this generator to run my Rockwood Mini-light 2109S travel trailer. It has a 13.5K BTU air conditioning system. It was actually able to start the AC with no modifications but I am at 340 feet above sea level. I purchased the Micro-Air soft start for the air conditioner and now this generator can run the AC even in econo-mode. The generator is very quiet and spools up instantly when needed. This generator has an LED display that tells how much power you're drawing, how much fuel is left, voltage and how much run time you have at any given power setting. The only thing it is missing is a hobbs meter but this unit beats the Honda 2000 in power and has more features. The only question I couldn't get an answer for is the type of cylinder (Cast iron or other?). So far, I can't speak highly enough of this generator. Westinghouse has been around for a long time. Parts shouldn't be a problem... 3 year warranty. DO IT!!

This is the second iGen2500 I have purchased. I was hoping one would run the air conditioner on my camp trailer but it wouldn't do it. It apparently will need two of these units. I also purchased the parallel cord. These units run a lot quieter than my old Coleman generator but they are still a bit louder than Honda. For the price difference it is plenty quiet. Has nice features and runs a long time on a tank of gas. We camped for four days at 7000 feet and it ran everything except the air conditioner. Westinghouse makes a high altitude kit that I'm trying to find and will install in both generators because I live at 4000 feet and most use will be above this elevation.
