This machine has everything! It's just what we needed for our food stand. We purchased two generators and parallel cord with gives us 5,000 peak watts and 4,400 running watts. This powers all of our fryers, heating lamps and lights. Light enough for easy transport and storage. Also it allows you to easily drain fuel and oil after use. One of the best features in my option. These Inverter's are nice and quiet. We were going to buy a Honda but decided on these and I am glad we did. They are just as powerful and quiet.
This is the second iGen2500 Inverter generator that I purchased to attached it to my other unit with a parallel cord to provide extra power. This works great providing the power we need for our pop up food stand. The two units together powers all of our fryers, heating lamps and night and decorative lights (5,000 peak watts and 4,400 running watts) for our branded tent. Lightweight 48lbs; very quiet 52dB, which is necessary for street festivals, 1.0 Gal. fuel tank which runs for 10 hours at a 25% load. Great little setup that meets all of our needs.
Purchased it to power my home that has frequent outages. I am an ex electrician and after much research decided that this unit has superior features. Received it and have been traveling for work. I have not had any outages yet so I have not even taken it out of the box yet. Westinghouse sent me a recall on this unit due to a fire problem. I am happy that I have not had to use it yet.
Both units started on first pull and ran in parallel successfully. The generators ran the air conditioners, the microwave and HWS on electric but went into overload when an electric heater was added. The only negatives were that one of the screws attaching the engine cover was stripped and one of the generators backfired when shut off.
