So far so good

I bought this based on price and features as a backup for my RV. Although the quick start information wasn't packaged in the box as it is supposed to be, the owners manual helped me get it started. It started and ran fine but I haven't really used it under load. I struggled getting it registered since the address Westinghouse provides simply dumps you into their website and without a dropdown for registration, you have to look all over for the registration page.

It does the job

I was a little nervous about the start up, but it comes with plenty of clear instructions. The start up was easy and it does the job I needed it to do. Not as quiet as I would like, but significantly quieter than my big generator. We're using it for our teardrop camper, so we can have A/C in the hot Texas summer. We also needed something that wasn't going to draw attention to us when we camp out.

Great tailgating generator

Bought this unit for tailgating and couldn't be more pleased(Go Vols)! Took 12 pulls to start initially, starts on the first pull ever since. Pleased with how quite it is. My friends who own a Yamaha and a Honda have been very impressed with this unit.

Great Dual Fuel Generator

I purchased this last month to carry with us in our Fitfh wheel RV to charger the batteries is needed and to enable us to run 1 of the air conditioners while camping off the grid. I run this off of the propane system on the RV so I purchased a hose without a regulator (propane system is regulated on the RV). I found that when the generator is cold you need to pull out the manual choke to keep it running until it warms up. If you don't it will run for 30 sec to a minute then shut off like it has run out of fuel. Love the 30 amp outlet on the control panel, most smaller ones only have the 20 amp outlets.

Extremely pleased!!!

iGen2500...My first outing with this machine and I could not be more happy. Starts first pull every time. Very quiet machine. You don't even know it's running while in a small group of people outside tailgating. I ran two crockpots and a large margarita machine at the same time with no problem at all. I highly recommed this generator for camping/tailgating.

Inverter

I purchased this unit yesterday as my power was out for 24 hours thus far. I had my brother n law come and assist me in hooking it up and getting it up and running. I used for around 8 hours before my power was restored. It was easy to turn off and store for the next time. I am pleased as I am 72 years old and at this point I can still move it somewhat....

Love it's power and portability

It is not so heavy cosidering it makes 2,200 continues watts but it is noisier than expected (but it is not loud). You can still have a conversation next to it without shouting. Also, gas consumption is really awesome. The use I'm giving it provides me with 12 hours of use per 1 gallon of fuel.

Lightweight and Powerful Generator

Bought this as insurance for if my power goes out again from a future hurricane or winter ice storm to make sure my basic needs are met like running refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, sump pump, a few lights, tv and internet, and charging of laptop and phones until power is restored. Bonus is that unit is so portable I can take it with me if going out into a non-powered campsite etc.

2500 Watts that I can easily pack anywhere needed

Bought this to use with my RV and as backup/emergency home power. So far works great. Starts right up and is quiet. I am not a scientist but give or take a db or two and it is as quiet as any others out there.....and at a GREAT price! So far I have used it on the RV and around the home. Sometimes it is just easier to grab this than to pull out extension cords for work out my large yard.
