Quiet and Powerful

I bought the iGen2500 for my 2015 Keystone Hideout 210LHS which has a 13,500btu AC unit on it. I needed a generator to start and run the AC unit. I tried a Honda EU2000i and it bogged it out and tripped the breaker on the generator trying to start the AC. I tried the Honda a couple of times with no success. I left all the breakers on and let the battery charge from the camper Battery Converter (which is 55amps) while trying to start the AC because that's how it should be to me. I don't want to turn off everything to just run the AC. NOW the first time I tried the iGen2500 it also bogged down and tripped the gen's breaker. I fired up the iGen again and turned the AC unit to fan only for a little while and tried it again and guess what, she work's like a champ. It cycles the AC unit's thermostat on efficiency mode with not that much trouble. The iGen2500 display shows when the AC is on at around 50-75% or around 1600 watts. The display is mostly great. The only problem with the display is it shows in liters and not gallons or quarts. My other problem is it has 2 USB 5 volt outlets and NOT a 12 volt output. I wish it had a 12-14 volt output instead. And since this is a powerful, quiet generator, kinda made for an RV ,why doesn't it have an 30 amp STW AND 20 amp socket??? I think it's called an STW socket?? Anyway, so far so good for us. Thanks for reading

Purchased two iGen2500,s for my AC. They have no problem with running that, also one does a great job in running everything else in the trailer.

Received today. Unpacked it. Added oil & gas. Started on second pull & ran well with several test loads. Will be anxious to see how well it handles the camper.

Powerful, Light, Compact and SUPER Quiet

I purchased this Generator to power our Lance 2285 as a backup for the solar and to run the air conditioner when campin in the sticks, as well as home backup in the event of a power outage. So far I've just set it up and ran it through its paces with several common household tools, haven't had a chance to hook it up to the camper. Anyway, I never saw more than 50% utilization and never heard it have to ramp up to full speed to power anything I threw at it, even a 5HP shop vac. From videos I've seen on YT, this should power our AC unit (13.5k BTU) with no problems Pros: The fuel gauge is an amazing feature and works perfectly The display constantly rotates through helpful information and updates in real time with the varying load applied, i.e. remaining run-time. It is very ergonomic, lightweight and easy to carry Extremely quiet, can have a normal conversation with someone standing only a foot or so from it The overall feel is that of quality and sturdiness, controls are well laid out and easy to identify and use The gas cap is chained on and the fill spout is very large, making it easy to see the fuel level as you approach full Instructions are well written, easy to follow and getting it all set up, oil in the crankcase and fuel in the tank, was extremely simple CONS: When taking off the cover to inspect/add/change oil or deal with draining the carburetor, getting the plastic side off after undoing the screws can prove challenging, perhaps a molded grab handle or the like would solve this Overall, an extremely good value VS other comparable models, looks cool, performs great, and we look forward to many years of service from our new generator.

I really like the generator, looks great and started starts right up. The generator did come with a defective gas float for the fuel gauge but Westinghouse is working to fix it. So far so good!

Started up on the first pull

The inverter started up on the first pull. The box arrived through the USPS in great condition (no damage). Once unpacked, I filled the crankcase with oil, turned the knob to the choke position and gave it a pull. It started on the first pull. The inverter ran great and was nice and quite. The build quality, the materials used and the fit and finish are great. At this point I am very happy with this purchase.
