Runs everything well, when running

I bought this item 6 months ago. It ran fine at the time and I use it to run a small air conditioner on my camper. When the a/c is on high, the inverter shows that it is at half power. It runs the air conditioner well and is relatively quiet for a generator, but after about 4 months, it started shutting off for no reason. It will run for about 15 minutes with no problems, but it won't stay running.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchased 07/31/2020, I have used a couple of times where I had no electricity and needed it to power my tools for use. Made the work very pleasant not having to return to an electrical outlet then back to the job site.

I bought this unit not expecting it to be as quiet as advertised, but to my surprise, this unit was very quiet even at peak power.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great compromize on size, weight and power.

With 2500 peak watts, this is just a bit bigger than the usual 2000ish watt generators I was looking for to power my RV's 13.5K air conditioner while boondocking. It does successfully start my AC if I have absolutely everything else turned off. (May add a soft start capacitor to the AC to ease the startup load) Wish the access panel to check the oil was toolless like the spark plug access panel. Great compromize on size, weight and power.

Major issues with my iGen2500

I bought this unit in November 2019, but didn't immediately use it. I just went to use it yesterday (September 2020) for a PG&E PSPS and found out that the fuel cap doesn't fit??? I thought that it was odd that it didn't come attached to the unit, and now I know why. They must have known that there was a defect to begin with (likely with the fuel tank) but still shipped out the unit! The threads on the fuel tank are very rounded, whereas the threads on the fuel cap are very sharp and defined. I needed to use the generator to keep the refrigerator running, so I just set the cap on top so that nothing could get into the tank while the unit is running. During use, I also found out that the Power Output gauge does not work. So far, I'm extremely unhappy with the quality of this unit. I filed a case and will see how Westinghouse customer service handles this issue.

Works as advertised, paralleled two of them together and had plenty of power to run everything in my camper (30 amps). Very satisfied.
