Tesla meets Westonghouse.Igen2550 portable Gen.

I bought this for a 4000 mile rd trip with our Tesla. We are road tripping from Kentucky to Prince Edward Island Canada. This made my wife at ease just incase Tesla app or me makes a mistake we can still get a charge. Lol.. Generator holds 1 gallon of fuel and should give me about 80 to 100 miles of charge. It's very quiet compared to the big bad boy generators. Size is not bad as while. I Did have to buy a portable grounding rod with wire because the Tesla portable charger has a safety system and it knows when the power source is not grounded properly. This will be used also for other times just so esay to carry around.

Dependable

I bought this generator to keep the batteries in my boat charged while taking a 2 week trip to the Voyageurs National Park on the Minnesota/Ontario border. It was quite and charged my batteries while I was having my lunch. I wasn't concerned with being "battery friendly" while on my camping trip. It was worth the time and effort to bring along and leave the concerns behind of wondering when are my batteries going to die. One less thing!

Relatively light weight; very fuel efficient

We bought this to run a pump to pump water out of a flooded basement. We were able to hook up 2 pumps at a time so it really made the process much quicker. We will be using it to provide light to do the clean-up process in the days to come. Our one complaint was trying to find the serial number to put on the registration form. We found the number when we read it on the box the inverter came in. The number was on the inverter, but as the qpc code, not mentioned as serial number.

Powerful, Light, Compact and SUPER Quiet

I purchased this Generator to power our Lance 2285 as a backup for the solar and to run the air conditioner when campin in the sticks, as well as home backup in the event of a power outage. So far I've just set it up and ran it through its paces with several common household tools, haven't had a chance to hook it up to the camper. Anyway, I never saw more than 50% utilization and never heard it have to ramp up to full speed to power anything I threw at it, even a 5HP shop vac. From videos I've seen on YT, this should power our AC unit (13.5k BTU) with no problems Pros: The fuel gauge is an amazing feature and works perfectly The display constantly rotates through helpful information and updates in real time with the varying load applied, i.e. remaining run-time. It is very ergonomic, lightweight and easy to carry Extremely quiet, can have a normal conversation with someone standing only a foot or so from it The overall feel is that of quality and sturdiness, controls are well laid out and easy to identify and use The gas cap is chained on and the fill spout is very large, making it easy to see the fuel level as you approach full Instructions are well written, easy to follow and getting it all set up, oil in the crankcase and fuel in the tank, was extremely simple CONS: When taking off the cover to inspect/add/change oil or deal with draining the carburetor, getting the plastic side off after undoing the screws can prove challenging, perhaps a molded grab handle or the like would solve this Overall, an extremely good value VS other comparable models, looks cool, performs great, and we look forward to many years of service from our new generator.

Just what I needed....

We were without power for a week owing to Hurricane Helene. This is just what I needed then to run 15W appliances and charge my solar generator. Borrowed someone else's 5000 W generator, but it was very loud and heavy. This one has plenty of capacity for my usage as a backup and is much quieter and easier to move around. I particularly like the dual fuel capability and 30 amp outlet for my travel trailer.

Very quiet and works well

I bought this for tailgating. After a small hiccup and a break in period, it ran for the entire time we needed it. We ran a TV and a phone charger on it for 3.5 hours with no issues. I look forward to using it more and more! Very happy with it. We also helped a new dad power his baby bottle warmer with it!

This is my 2nd igen2500 and still a 5 star review

I bought a second generator to run in parallel with the first generator and it runs every bit as well, it came shipped just as well, and I've had just 0 problems with it. I will say that when you run in parallel you must follow the instructions with the parallel cord exactly. If you do not do everything that the instructions say step by step it won't parallel to have equal output. Two of these will run my 13500 btu rv air conditioner, my microwave, my refrigerator and my bathroom fan all at once without tripping overloading.

Started on first pull

The iGen 2500 will power either one of our camper's 15000 BTU air conditioner units just fine. I had to make sure that all of the electrical loads were switched off otherwise it wouldn't start them reliably. I installed an Easy-Start in one of the units and now it'll start it effortlessly, and I don't have to shut the battery charging circuit off before switching the unit on. 2500 watts (2200 continuous) from 48 lbs. Fantastic

Good so far.

Bought this after researching generators in a class I wanted. Decided on IGen for the following reasons. Overall reviews were good. Price was good. And because things do break Westinghouse had the most warranty centers available nationwide. My model is IGen 2550
