My family purchased this generator for the RV and emergencies. It works well with the RV and we feel we are more prepared for loss of electricity. It is not bulky but puts out good power. I highly recommend this for anyone with an RV or any outdoor enthusiast. But I also recommend this for the basic homeowner in case of loss of electricity.

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!

Bought this approximately 30 seconds before our power came back on, but decided to keep it for any future outages and possibly for use with a small camper. Some friends had no power longer and used it to power a water pump for them. Fired up on the first pull! With the dipstick being mostly horizontal it's a little hard to tell how much is in there, but the nice (and included!) funnel made filling it up pretty painless!

I previously wrote a positive review so that I could get the cover. We have only been able to get this thing actually going 1 time and only with gasoline. Its reasonably quiet and I thought it would work out great but I was wrong. 1- we specifically bought this model for its duel fuel capabilities. We planned on primarily using it with propane. When we tried to test at home it wouldn't work. It appeared the regular was faulty. We called westinhouse and they agreed to send us a "new" regulator. We had a camping trip coming up and thought ok we'll just use gas. Went and got gas. Tested it. Worked. 2- 2 days later we are boondocking and go to fire it up because it's 95 degrees outside and we wanted to run our small campers AC. Wouldn't start. After multiple tries it finally sounds like it's going to turn on but on the last pull the handle completely separated from the string! So now it's useless. We cut out camping trip short and drove 4 hours home early. Westinhouse agreed to send us a new cord kit. 3- we received the regular and cord kit in the mail. He regular was clearly used. Which isn't a huge deal, but it's annoying to be putting used parts on a brand new product. The cord kit was broken!! The cord was cut so that was again useless. They sent us out another and ita intact but it's not a straightforward fix. I'm not a mechanic I shouldn't have to take apart a brand new machine. I'm extremely disappointed that we spent so much money on a product that we have never actually been able to use.

I bought this generator to replace an I2500 model and the additional features like 12v DC plug are great. Very quit and powerful generator. I also like the easier access to the motor for maintenance. I halos love the design more than the 2500 series.

I bought the generator and have used it on a project we are working on. I followed the manual on the oil change and have been totally impressed with the operation and features it offers to the user. I would highly recommend this generator to anyone.

I bought this generator for our RV when we go dry camping. Received my generator added oil that was supplied, added gas and the generator started up after 5 pulls on the chord. I let it run for about 1/2 hour. Later I started it with one pull and attached our RV and it worked fine everything ran including the AC. The next day started with one pull hooked RV up and everything still ran fine. I haven't had it long enough to really give it a good work out but will be using it on the RV the next camping trip.

Arrived 3 weeks late but I guess that can be expected because of the hurricanes this year causing high demand. Added oil and non-ethanol gas, choked and it started first pull! I have had a Honda 2000 for over 13 years that still runs great but needed more power for AC on my RV. It runs as quiet as my Honda but time will tell about the reliability of the unit. First impression is I am very happy with this purchase.

I was set to purchase a competitors product (the red one) and came across the iGen2500. The specs were better than the competition and the price about 1/2 with a good 3 year warranty. It was delivered within 2 days and arrived in good shape with no shipping issues. I followed the instructions for pre-startup (basically add oil), and on the 3rd pull it fired off. I let it run for about 1/2 hour and then shut it off. A week later I decided to test it out on my trailer. This time it started on the first pull (and has every other time since). I plugged the trailer in and started turning on lights, then the refrigerator and finally the AC (13,500 watts). I was running the iGen on economy mode and when I turned on the AC the generator immediately increased the revs to accommodate the load, without issue. So far this appears to be a well designed and built product. I really have no complaints. I did call Westinghouse support prior to purchase and got a very knowledgeable and pleasant rep on the phone after a very short wait. My questions were answered quickly. I was very pleased that customer service was so good and so quick - that bodes well for any future issues I may have. Time will tell with this generator, but I have a feeling that if I maintain it per the manual, I should be using it well past the 3 year warranty.

Did extensive research on small portable generators. The iGen 2500 stood out as a very reliable model which should take care of my needs during a power outage. The generator appears to be well built, compact and light weight. The unit started on the second pull and is everything I expected. I look forward to using it the next time we loose power.
