Very Quiet and a Good Price

I have just purchased 2 of the iGen2500 based on research. I need 2 for my new trailer to power everything. I like the fact that there are USB ports built in as well the digital display of all the key metrics. Lastly the power cord to connect 2 generators is very easy to use, made hooking the trailer up a snap.

Great Generator but could use some improvements

Nice generator. I spent copious amounts of time researching a generator / inverter for my 5th wheel. It came down to the Honda 2000 watt vs the iGen2500. I wanted to be able to start and run the AC unit so I opted for the iGen2500 over the iGen2200. Yes it did! It was easy to setup and get running, from a out of the box to add oil and gas, it started on the 2nd pull. Suggestions and the reason for 4 stars vs 5: 1) It doesn't come with an hour meter. They are not an expensive item, not hard to install, and the unit requires maintenance based on a hourly runtime schedule. So one would think it would come with an hour meter. ( I purchased a Hardline hour meter for $20 an installed it in about 10 minutes.) The iGen2500 already has a digital display, so one would think an hour meter could be incorporated into the digital readout. FYI Westinghouse... including an hour meter would set you above everyone else and give you an edge when comparing brands, as no one else includes an hour meter on this size of generator. Just saying.... 2) Digital display, great feature but it has some issues, at least for us Americans. First, it's location on the very bottom of the generator makes it hard to read. Locating it on the top would have been a better location. 2nd: it displays the amount of fuel left in the tank in liters. In America where we use quarts / gallons, Quarts remaining would be better. 3rd: the readout for power output is in kilowatts, so the total kw is 2.0kw - 2.5kw, we use wattage to determine load / how many appliance we can power with a generator. So a reading in watts would be far more useful than in kilowatts. 4th: The digital readout rolls between each of 4 readouts, with a letter in front to indicate what the reading signifies. L = for fuel remaining ? how about F for fuel F = for remaining runtime? how about T for time I would like a way to add an external fuel tank for longer run times. Other than these items, I'm happy with my iGen2500 and would recommend it!

Immediate failure to operate

Hard to start at first then immediately went to an over speed situation and indicator showed over load situation. Unable to contact service on 7/3 and when contacted them 7/5 there was NO sense of helping a traveling customer get a replacement shipped soon enough to catch up with us.

This is the quietest generator I've owned. Easy to start and I love the parallel feature. If you're looking for a quiet, powerful and feature packed generator, stop looking and purchase the iGen 2500.

Excellent Piece of Equipment

This is a very well put together piece of equipment. In my occupation I look for weaknesses and poor designs for improvement of equipment. This is a well thought out design and layout. Maintenance will be easy to perform due to the attention to detail. Followed instructions and started on the first pull. I expect many years of service from this unit as long as I perform the recommended maintenance. It is rare for me to say that I am extremely pleased with a mass produced product. I am extremely pleased with this one. My research indicated they also have a great customer service team in place to support the product. Thumbs up for making a product that is well thought out, well made, easy to service and good customer support. Home run with the bases loaded!

Started on first pull

I immediately ran a two stage heater (out on the driveway) for a couple hours in econo mode. I would manually switch from off to 1000w and 1800w every once in a while. Handled the transition between settings just fine. I than took it to my camper and ran my 13500 btu AC unit. This worked fine in standard mode. I tried to adjust the temp setting knob manually, turning the knob down and then back up and the unit went into overload. Thinking maybe there could be pressure build up in the compressor, I decided to let the the AC cycle on its own. This way the cycle time was longer, letting the compressor settle back down. Not only did this work, but also worked in econo mode. That's why I gave it a five star. It does everything I expect and than some!
