Works well in both gas and LP mode

Haven't had it long enough to give it a thorough review, but so far works well and handles the loads I have put on it (sitll within the 5 hour breakin, so have not put it at full load). It does require a couple of minutes of running before applying load - if you load it up too quickly, the engine simply stops running. Not a bad self protection feature, since the engine should be warmed up before putting it under load.

Great Generator!

I recently purchased this generator because of the fact that it will run on propane. It was easy to set up and get running. I like the features it has and that it can charge my phones and things using USB ports and not the 120v outlet. It was easy to start using propane. I have recommended this generator to a couple of friends.

Quiet - powerful

I was actually expecting it to be a little louder that it was. For sure the quietest unit I have purchased over the years. We use this unit on our little weekend camper that we do a lot of dry camping with and it has a 30 amp hookup. It powered our little unit just beautifully. Highly recommend this little unit especially if you have a small 30 amp hook up camper.

Easy to Start and quiet enough for rv

When the unit arrived, I tested the it on my circular saw which draws 15amps. And it had no problem starting the saw. I was impress how quiet the generator is and that it could crank out 2500 watts and still be the size of a 50# briefcase. Also it is very quiet, where you could talk to someone standing right next to it when it is under full load.

Propane makes it less hassle to use & store

The size of this makes it easy to store and move around when needed. It will easily run my fridge, charge devices, backup batteries and many fans. My use is for emergency power when the grid goes down for extended times. I already have propane tanks for the grill and its great to not have to deal with gas fumes, gas storage and gas stabilization. I can also run a window AC unit if needed. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect for Camping

I purchased this about 3 weeks ago and broke it out on my last camping trip. It worked as advertised and is the perfect size to store in the bed of my pickup and am even able to close my lid. It is easy to transport. Provides the additional power needed when you are boondocking too. Looking forward to really getting to use it later in the summer when we will be doing a great deal of boon docking.

Powerful and Quite!

I bought this generator to run lights on a parade float, it worked prefect! Ran quietly more than enough power and used little fuel. So happy we made this purchase , it'll be used for many events and what a great piece of mind to know we have it for a power outage.

Westinghouse inverter

bought today and have to say right out of the box is easy to set up. came with all the required items to set up with the oil, parallel cords, and funnel. Once all gas and oil was added start up was super easy in one pull fired right up. Have not gotten to use it on my RV yet, but I have no question it will work just fine for what I need.

Powerful and easy to start

Received the iGen 2500 in good condition. Added oil, gas, and started it up on the first crank. Looking forward to trying it out while dry camping with my 22 ft travel trailer. Best of all the iGen 2500 has enough power to run my trailers 13.5k BTU air conditioner.

iGen2500 is great to backup your Fridge + some appliances

I bought two of these generators recently (one for me and one for my Mother In-law and just tried one of them out in my garage. They are very, very quiet and seem to power up my appliances pretty good with no outages. I believe they will easily provide back-up power to a refrigerator and some appliances such as a television, fish tank pump, and such. They are only 2200 Watts steady power so you shouldn't expect them to power up much more than what I stated above.
