I purchased this generator for running a small air conditioning on a boat and as a backup generator to power essentials in my house in the event of an extended power outage. The igen2500 easily fits the bill. Its light, has plenty of power and is easy to start.

I researched my needs for quite a while and kept going back to the iGen 2550. Its lightweight but runs my 5000 BTU air conditioner, battery charger and fridge in my camper with ease! It was only 90 degrees today but kept camper at 65 inside and never wavered. ran it on regular and eco mode with no problems for 6 hours! Couldnt be happier with the purchase!,

Followed the directions for oil and gas fill, and it started in less than a complete pull. After warm up, I connected several different devices, and it worked perfectly. Seems like just the right mix of power, portability and efficiency for my needs.

The unit doesn’t run on gasoline. Runs perfectly fine on propane, just doesn’t turn on with gas. I tried switching from propane to gas while running and it just dies after a few seconds. Something’s wrong with gasoline fuel flow. I don’t believe they do any quality test with gasoline since it never worked with gas right out of the box.

After firing up both iGen2500's in parallel, I Plugged in two 1500 watt heaters. Efficiency Mode switch's on. Both gens slightly rev'd up together with both gen's showing only 50% load. Only one small complaint, the threads on plastic Gas Cap were too tight on one of the generators. I think a little quality control was missed here. The cap should free spin all the way down till the last quarter turn then click tighten. This cap has too much friction from start to tight.

Got this for a gift for my FIL, who lives with us, and helped him set it up and test it. He had a few requests when we were shopping, the main ones were enough power to keep the fridge on in an emergency, and dual fuel. Also he's on a budget. Set up was easy, the included tools are appreciated- all you need is fuel (and a tank if using LPG.) It started up with little effort (although he'll need some help, almost certainly, and if budget were not an issue in hindsight a key start would be clutch for seniors like him.) We ran it with no load to break it in for about 30 minutes (the extent of his patience lol) and then plugged the fridge in to test it. The iGen2550 barely changed its tune under load, I feel like we could get away with a couple other electronic creature comforts in an emergency, which is nice. His thoughts on it were few, mostly a lot of head nodding in approval and why propane was better than gas, and, of course, the price of gas. Love him. He did say he thought the sound level was "in between Honda and Briggs & Stratton" which is a pretty good compliment considering the savings over a Honda putt-putt. It's not, like, a joy to carry far, but it's easily a one man job. Feet are super stable and absorb the vast majority of the already minor vibration. There's a pad on top for setting your devices you're charging and I absolutely trust they won't vibrate off. All in all no complaints, super happy with the preparedness this brings us. Only small criticism so far is the funnel. I get it, its a great tool, but I just know I'm going to misplace it or forget what it is lol.

My husband’s dad has this and after we have been borrowing it, we had to get one! My husband utilizes this on job sites, our converted cargo trailer, emergency purposes and vacation. Runs pretty quiet and pretty light. Appreciate that it was factory tested before receiving it. Cost is more than fair with all its capabilities and qualities.

I tested the generator and it works well and is as quiet as expected. It arrived on my front porch in an oil-soaked carton that was barely holding together. Luckily, there was no shipping damage to the unit. The oil bottle inside was fine, so I can only assume that the bottle in the carton stacked above it in the warehouse leaked down onto it.

Use it on my boat to run everything at night while on anchor The generator works great I'am not happy about writing this review in order to register the unit. Registering would have been just fine without the review. On top of it, I was told I would get a cover for the unit, instead they stay the covers are not available only the power strips don't need a power strip need a cover. Again the generator starts overtime and powers everything I need it too. Westinghouse you need get better at your marketing.

I needed a lightweight generator, that would give me 2000 running watts to be able to run either my microwave/convection oven or my A.C.! This WH igen2500, seems to give me what I wanted, and started right-up on the first pull. Very happy so far. Getting the multi outlet extension cord, I believe is a must.
