Started first pull!

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.

Just what I needed

With the recent hurricane Helene, I found that I could not recharge my solar generator because the power was out and we had cloudy skies. This generator inverter is just the tool I need to recharge my larger solar generator. Also, I was looking for a dual fuel inverter, and this one fit that requirement as well.

Highly recommend, especially for RV camping

I purchased this generator to run my Rockwood Mini-light 2109S travel trailer. It has a 13.5K BTU air conditioning system. It was actually able to start the AC with no modifications but I am at 340 feet above sea level. I purchased the Micro-Air soft start for the air conditioner and now this generator can run the AC even in econo-mode. The generator is very quiet and spools up instantly when needed. This generator has an LED display that tells how much power you're drawing, how much fuel is left, voltage and how much run time you have at any given power setting. The only thing it is missing is a hobbs meter but this unit beats the Honda 2000 in power and has more features. The only question I couldn't get an answer for is the type of cylinder (Cast iron or other?). So far, I can't speak highly enough of this generator. Westinghouse has been around for a long time. Parts shouldn't be a problem... 3 year warranty. DO IT!!

Great purchase!

Recommended by a family member and they were spot on. We bought two, use for camping and love them! Was concerned when the recall occurred. However all fears were erased by the efficient, professional manner exhibited by the Westinghouse people I talked to and the quick repair. This is a wonderful generator. BG

A great generator

It started right up and, after the recommended break-in, it easily powered my air conditioner, microwave and lights on my teardrop camp trailer. It's light weight, quiet and simple to operate. I like the fact that it has a 30 amp rv outlet (otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it) so this generator perfectly fits my needs.

Quiet and powerful

Received the iGen2500 about a week ago. Setup instructions were clear and simple and took about 5 minutes. Started up first pull. Very quiet, particularly in the Efficiency Mode which drops the idle down to deliver only the power that is needed. I learned quickly that to power high demand equipment, like a compressor, it is best to take it out of Efficiency mode to start it, which makes sense as the surge current takes a few seconds for the generator to ramp up to speed. Otherwise, all my tests of power delivery, volume, etc. are great! Time will tell on longevity.

Awesome portable inverter

Running 100% on propane. Easily started for break-in. 2 pull start after proper break-in time. Just the right amount of features for the price point and usage. Would recommend next gen have an output meter of some sort, nothing fancy just to know when I'm approaching capacity.

Comes through in the clutch

I used a one of these, that belonged to a friend, after a storm causing a power outage. This generator ran for over 7 hours without refueling. Never did it seem to bog down when we plugged stuff in. It did not even hiccup with 3 refrigerators and freezers plugged into it. We added lights kept on purring. It was so quiet and and 1 pull starting. Love it so much I went and bought one for a insurance policy that I will never need one again, but if I do I know I have one that will do the job!

Love this!

Love how light this generator is! I sold my last larger generator due to the fact of needing help to get it into my 2500 truck without assistance. This generator is much quieter and more fuel efficient than my last inverter generator. I can easily get this into my truck with a lift for RV trips. I am happy with the purchase!

Quiet, great features.

I bought the iGen2600 in May in preparation for hurricane season. This was my primary reason, and I also wanted a small, quiet generator to use for camping trips. Because of the Covid-19 situation, I haven't had the opportunity to fully put the little generator through it's paces, but so far I am very impressed! After filling with oil and fuel it started right up with one pull, and ran very quietly and smoothly, powering several small appliances. I especially appreciate the LED data center which makes keeping an eye on fuel levels, power usage and maintenance schedule a breeze. If possible, I will update my review after using the generator more extensively, but right now, I am extremely happy with my purchase!
