Great product at an awesome price

Great product at an awesome price. It runs well and is lightweight with low noise level. I would have given it a 5 but when I called customer service I received a voice message to tell me they were out of the office.[[ASIN:B01MTGJGCN Westinghouse iGen2500 Portable Inverter Generator - 2200 Rated Watts & 2500 Peak Watts - Gas Powered

Runs my 9.5k A/C on eco mode!

I couldn't find a review stating the generator's performance with a rv a/c so I took a chance with this little generator and I'm thrilled it worked and started the a/c compressor even on eco mode. I do have a Houghton 9.5 k roof air, so it draws less amps than the standard 13.5k or 15k. I'm also at 5000 ft in elevation!

Excellent for Camping Trailer use

I have a small 30A travel trailer that can run just fine on 20A, as long as you don't turn it all on at once. This generator provides up to 18.3A (according to documentation) and worked perfectly to run 5000 BTU air conditioner and 2.7'cu fridge and lights, with only 25% load showing on the display. Unsure of exact dB level (claim is 53dB with no load) but very quiet. Simple operation and excellent documentation included (too rare these days).

Great generator

We just bought this but I'm really glad we did. Unit has a ton of good features that will help a novice like me keep the unit in good running condition for a long time. Looking forward to not having to worry about keeping the sump pump running anymore. This is an excellent choice at a good value.

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.

Big power, little package!

I ordered this generator to use with our slide-in camper. After adding the oil and gas, it fired up quickly. I have tested it on our camper microwave and A/C individually and this little unit never missed a beat. It's going to be a great asset to have along with us in our travels!

Nice little unit

I am happy with this purchase. I wanted a small, quiet and easy to use generate to run a few things at the cottage if my power went out. I also wanted one that was an inverter and dual fuel because I prefer to run off a propane tank, as propane tanks can also be used for the BBQ so the fuel doesn't go stale! This one does all of these well. It took me a little while to get it started for the first time but I was able to do so with propane. The trick for mine was to prime the propane with 4 presses, pull the recoil a couple times with the choke out, and then close the choke three-quarters, and pull the recoil a few more times. I've run it a few times now to break it in, totalling about 4 hours.

Easy to set up and very portable

Once you unbox this unit and fill it with oil, you're set. Just select the fuel type and you'll have power. It's relatively light for the amount of power it generates. Great for keeping the fridge cool for interruptions in power or for bringing the comforts of home to the outdoors.

Run great, quiet, and appears to be well made

The iGen 2500 started right up. It was surprisingly easy and smooth to pull the cord. I did a one hour test run with a full size side by side refrigerator, one lamp, one box fan, a charging iPad, and a Mac all at the same time. I never saw it resister above 25% or so and all went well. Ran nice and quiet. In some cases the refrigerator could create a major but very brief surge in watts (maybe 1,800 at the most) that might require powering up and stabilizing it before connecting the rest. I don't think it would be a problem once the refrigerator is cooled down. This is what we ran with a borrowed generator during Irma and it helped a lot, no lost food and reasonable comfort sleeping. The only problem is the fuel gauge does not work but I fully expect Westinghouse to make that right. I also plan to use it for some camping.

Super quiet quality generator!

This unit is a must have for tailgating and weekend camping trips, super quiet and efficient turns camping into glamping! Small enough to tuck into the back of our 2 door wrangler with camping gear and a cooler for weekend fishing trips in the keys! Hopefully we won't have to use it for a hurricane but if so we know the power and reliability is there!
