Just got the Igen2500. I filled the oil & gas and the unit started on the 1st pull. I have only "played around" with a couple of electrical items (trouble light, 1500W electric heater, etc.). I was impressed with the quiet running even with the 1500w heater running on high.

I bought two of these iGen2550 Generators for my Travel Trailer. Would have preferred one bigger one however after two back surgeries I am limited on how much I can lift. After doing much research, I think these are the best and here's why. First off, they run in parallel with out having to purchase and hook up a separate device. They both came with parallel wires at no extra cost. They each have a full 30 amp. Trailer Plug In. So, no need for an adapter. They are very lightweight. I can carry both at the same time (if needed) I usually carry one at a time with no problem. They have a plastic screw in funnel to fill the oil tank (others are hard to fill or top off without spilling a mess) used and replace oil with out spilling a drop. They come with the exact amount of oil needed (no need to carefully measure) They have one knob to turn for starting, running and shutting down. They made the outside in a way the handle lays flat in a formed spot on the side panel. The dashboard is bright and shows amount of fuel level by just looking at the control panel. Both started quickly and ran perfect. I use them in parallel so I can run my Air Conditioner in my Trailer. I just spent six weeks traveling Florida and used them frequently. They each come with a tool kit and everything needed to start using. I would definitely buy them again. I gave them 4 Star because I wish they had wheels, however they are light enough to not really need them.

I purchased this unit after watching 2 freezers defrost during a 16 hour power failure. Never again. Not only does this unit generate the power for big items it will also charge my home electronics. The dual fuel option is especially attractive, and easy to switch between fuels. Great for home back up but small enough to take camping. Highly recommended.

I bought 2 of these so that I can run in parallel to power my RV AC. They were easy to set up and are easy to operate. The manual is surprisingly good though I do wish there were a little more explanation about the LED display. Both units fired up easily. The first runs perfectly, but the second has cut off unexpectedly about 10 times in the first couple of hours. When it does this the low oil light pops on, so I suspect it may be a faulty sensor. In fact, this issue is specifically mentioned in the troubleshooting section in the back of the manual, so I plan to call the 800 number to see if it can be easily resolved. For the time being I gave a 3 star rating and hope to adjust later if possible pending resolution.

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!

Purchased 1 month ago during a power outage. It was easy to start but would shut down for no apparent reason even under no load. After contacting Westinghouse and providing details they promptly replaced the unit with a new one. The new unit has had limited use but appears to operate properly. The construction appears to be of good quality and features are useful. Overall I am pleased with the purchase and appreciate the good customer service.

I purchased primarily to power my 27' camper during remote camping trips but also plan to use it for tailgating and emergency power needs when necessary. The set-up was extremely easy with pouring in the pre-measured oil using the provided screw in funnel, and filling with gas. The funnel threads into the hole where the dipstick is and it kept everything clean and spill free. Started on the second pull after getting gas through the carburetor and it is quieter than I expected. I know I probably should have purchased a larger model but I don't plan on pushing its limits. The 30 amp RV outlet will also allow me to plug in without the use of an adapter. Very happy with the purchase.

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!

The Igen 2500 Arrived in perfect condition. Added the supplied oil and and a small amount of ethanol free gas, and it started on the second pull and ran like a fine Swiss watch. I can carry this inverter generator easily with one hand and wow, it's quiet and smooth and uses very little fuel. It's a winner.

This model was suited for my application as a backup for specific appliances with electronics inside: it was light enough to carry easily, used propane, had variable speeds so it is likely to run overnight without needing refueling, and it was made by (for?) a reputable brand. It was expensive compared to some less familiar brands, but in an emergency I do not want to risk using unreliable equipment: portable generators are dangerous enough when they work properly!
