I ran in parallel with a 2nd igen2500. One stopped after 45 minutes and would not restart.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

2,200 Operating Amps is ideal for boondocking my travel Camper. Should run everything I have from AC to microwave to toaster oven, just not all at once. Light weight 22Kg and compact size make it very portable. After adding Oil it started first pull. Like efficiency mode and the data display. Works great under loads up to 1,450 Watt steady draw, haven't pushed to 75% of output power yet... Will check back in after boondocking for five days this May.
My son bought two of these after much research. He uses them in tandem to power an arch-welder and all of his power tools in his 20 ft long trailer workshop; and he is quite satisfied. For me, I own a Lance camper and travel for a living, and sometimes I am away for months at a time. I needed a portable generator that would power everything in the camper, including my ham radio equipment, my laptop, and, especially, the air conditioning; though the air conditioning pretty much maxes it out, so I probably won't be able to run the ham radio at full power while running the air conditioning on high. This generator fills the bill. It is much quieter and lighter (about ten pounds lighter) than the old Kawasaki 1400, which couldn't handle the air conditioning, anyway. Three cheers for Westinghouse!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Three cheers for you, Ambrosio! We're so happy to hear that you and your son have been able to enjoy the unbridled power the iGen2500 can bring to your traveling life! Thank you for sharing such kind words in your experience with Westinghouse, and we love the picture you posted with your fifth wheel. Looks like you'll be having a great time.
Started first pull. Runs silent at 120 feet away or below conversation level nearby. Powers my 12000 btu air conditioner at 1/3 power. Small and light. 48 lbs. Perfect.
