Perfect for my needs

Only received this 3 days ago and am still learning its idiosyncrasies, but I'm now sure it will do what I bought it for which is running durable medical equipment (oxygen concentrator and CPAP machine) in a power outage. Initial startup on propane was frustrating. Westinghouse could put out a video on starting on propane. It would help. I would recommend researching "propane demand regulator" if you're not familiar with them for an understanding of what's going on in the fuel supply system.

iGEN2500

Very nice generator. Relatively quiet. Nice display. Rubber feet work well for vibration. Drain hose for carburetor is a good feature to keep the carb clean. Cover for outlets is a little cumbersome but a must-have feature. I have not come close to full load, but it seems to work well.

Great little generator

I bought this one as a companion to my other 2550 C to hook and parallel to run certain items in the house in case of power failure. Hooking the two smaller ones together to get more power is a lot easier for me than trying to Lug one big one around. And the overall cost is about the same. Gives me a lot more flexibility when I don't need the power of a large one

Awsome little Inverter Generator

I just got this a little over a week ago and can see what I've been missing. I love how light it is and how fast it starts,s up. seems to work well right out of the box. My friend likes it better than his Wen which is of the same size as mine, the only thing it needs is a cover for when its in the back of my truck. can,t wait to use it more.

Super quite and adorable

I use a generator on weekends to run four 500watt lights for flounder gigging. I can have normal conversations on the boat while running generator all night, instead of shouting like I've had to do in the past. Not to mention it's about half the price of some brands that offer the same things ( light weight,quite, etc)

Perfect little generator

I purchased this to have for small/short power outages. Since my power goes out some times for more than a few hours but less than 8 hours, I wanted something small to hookup just my refrigerator and a light. This is perfect. It's small enough and love how quite it is. Love dual fuel option, but will only be using propane probably.

Great looking unit

Just received the unit and just did the quick start procedure. Everything seems to be operating according to my expectations. I love the fact that it's lite weight and still powerful enough to get the job done. Looking forward to years of great service.

Quiet and Powerful

I bought the iGen2500 for my 2015 Keystone Hideout 210LHS which has a 13,500btu AC unit on it. I needed a generator to start and run the AC unit. I tried a Honda EU2000i and it bogged it out and tripped the breaker on the generator trying to start the AC. I tried the Honda a couple of times with no success. I left all the breakers on and let the battery charge from the camper Battery Converter (which is 55amps) while trying to start the AC because that's how it should be to me. I don't want to turn off everything to just run the AC. NOW the first time I tried the iGen2500 it also bogged down and tripped the gen's breaker. I fired up the iGen again and turned the AC unit to fan only for a little while and tried it again and guess what, she work's like a champ. It cycles the AC unit's thermostat on efficiency mode with not that much trouble. The iGen2500 display shows when the AC is on at around 50-75% or around 1600 watts. The display is mostly great. The only problem with the display is it shows in liters and not gallons or quarts. My other problem is it has 2 USB 5 volt outlets and NOT a 12 volt output. I wish it had a 12-14 volt output instead. And since this is a powerful, quiet generator, kinda made for an RV ,why doesn't it have an 30 amp STW AND 20 amp socket??? I think it's called an STW socket?? Anyway, so far so good for us. Thanks for reading

Looks like I chose the right company and product

After days of research and youtube videos, I made the decision to choose this inverter generator. All of my research seems to have paid off. After purchasing it today, I took it home and got started with the "Quick Start Guide." I filled the unit up with fresh non-ethanol gasoline. Nice looking unit I said to myself once I got it ready to start. The unit started up right away on the first pull. Quite quiet. I think this is going to be one of my best purchasing. It ran my dewalt 15 gallon, 5 amp air compressor at around a 75% rating of it's power output.

Quiet, light, and well designed

Bought this generator to power emergency equipment in the event of a power failure during cold weather. While I haven't yet had a chance to put it to the true test, my initial testing seems to indicate it is a great generator. It runs very quiet and the control panel features are very helpful for knowing fuel conditions, run time remaining, etc.
