Its alright

I bought it for Camping to charge the boat after day of trolling. Got it delivered late had o postpone trip. Started unit after 60 pulls on Propane. I began a 3hr break in in 92 degree weather. It never shut down me and ran great. Have to have full choke on to start. Unit looks sweet to.

Nice generator but wished it was a little quieter

The generator is a good value, starts easily and I like the status display. The only issues are there is no hours of use display and even though it has a variable load throttle it seems a little loud even at no load. I have a sound meter and measured the sound level closer to 57 dBA at no load at the standard 7 meters (23 ft away) instead of the 52 dBA at 25% it is rated. Odd thing is that is doesn't get much loader at full load which measured 61 dBA? One issue could be is that the idle speed is set to high (it also is not running smoothly even with fresh gas) or maybe it will get quieter after break-in? After break-in if this is still happening I may take it to be adjusted.

Nice generator

I started out using some 85 octane I had in the garage. The exhaust didn't smell to good and it didn't run very well. I always intended on running 91 octane Ethanol free gas and when I did it ran much better and the exhaust didn't stink like old gas. She likes 91 so that's what I recommend you run.

Has the power to do what you need where you need it!

I bought this inverter to power my camp trailer and charge batteries. This has enough power to run my AC unit on my trailer. Quiet running (actually I thought it would be quieter) but when you walk 10 feet away you kinda forget its running. Easy to start and operate. Very fuel efficient, I ran on encono mode most of the summer.

easy starting

Im still breaking it in, but started first pull,I plugged in a 5k air conditioner a box fan and ran a shop vac and was at 50% power. after a while of running motor was misfiring under no load a little but soon as I put a load on it it was smooth. Dont know why maybe spark plug or just needs to finish breaking in. will be using for back up power and misc, bought this unit because of reviews and ability to run 15k air conditioner,so far im very impressed.

Excellent Product

I bought the iGen2550 generator back in May, and have used the generator extensively since then. We purchased the product to power tools where we don't have access to a power supply and a mobile inflatable that our company owns. The iGen is lightweight and has a descent running time (for our purposes). We are extremely happy with this product.

Excellent piece of equipment!

Power went out a few weeks ago with no fix time established by com-ed Found this unit the following morning and by noon I was up and running; plugging in an unbelievable amount of stuff! I love the screen showing KW in use / gave me a great window into capacity of the unit / power came back on days faster than expected but so glad to own this beautiful little machine/ sitting on a shelf in the basement ready for the next outage!

Optimistic

Purchased it to power my home that has frequent outages. I am an ex electrician and after much research decided that this unit has superior features. Received it and have been traveling for work. I have not had any outages yet so I have not even taken it out of the box yet. Westinghouse sent me a recall on this unit due to a fire problem. I am happy that I have not had to use it yet.

Awesome new unit!

I upgraded from an i2400 Explorer to this unit for the digital display mostly, didn't have an issue with the Explorer. That said I only have a few hours on this new iGen2500, but so far it runs like a champ. Started up with only a couple pulls and ran loads between 500 and 2000 watts with ease. Extremely quiet, especially on the lower loads and idle with the eco mode turned on. I very much like the redesign of this unit.

Great features

After reviewing several generators I bought this model that was on sale. It has several features that are usable when camping. I will primarily use it with the propane mode although it is nice to know it also uses gasoline. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is. In addition, this will be used in case of power failures at home. Very happy with purchase.
