This is my 2nd igen2500 and still a 5 star review

I bought a second generator to run in parallel with the first generator and it runs every bit as well, it came shipped just as well, and I've had just 0 problems with it. I will say that when you run in parallel you must follow the instructions with the parallel cord exactly. If you do not do everything that the instructions say step by step it won't parallel to have equal output. Two of these will run my 13500 btu rv air conditioner, my microwave, my refrigerator and my bathroom fan all at once without tripping overloading.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Extremely pleased!!!

iGen2500...My first outing with this machine and I could not be more happy. Starts first pull every time. Very quiet machine. You don't even know it's running while in a small group of people outside tailgating. I ran two crockpots and a large margarita machine at the same time with no problem at all. I highly recommed this generator for camping/tailgating.

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.

Runs like fine Swiss watch

The Igen 2500 Arrived in perfect condition. Added the supplied oil and and a small amount of ethanol free gas, and it started on the second pull and ran like a fine Swiss watch. I can carry this inverter generator easily with one hand and wow, it's quiet and smooth and uses very little fuel. It's a winner.

Compact Quiet Generator

Compact, well made unit that came with all the accessories I needed. Included were 10W30 oil for unit, funnel, spark plug wrench, and complete instructions. Nice to have little extras, like a hose on the float bowl to drain gas and keep it off unit. VERY well packed for shipping. Runs very quiet and has ECONOMY setting to minimize gas use while operating. I would recommend this unit.

Better than Honda out of the Box - Time will tell

Just received the IGEN 2500 - Started on 3rd Pull (first pull after warmed up) - The motor stared a little rough but quickly smoothed out after about 20 mins. I have 2 hours of run time so far - all gauges / indicators appear to work properly. All the indicators and USB Charging ports are great to have ! Big improvement over the competition. I loaded it with Lights, Air Mattress pump, Blender, and hair dryer - the generator did not miss a beat - it ramped up smoothly to meet the demand. The max capacity output only showed 50%. The 2200 Running Watts vs the Honda 1600 Running Watts is a big advantage. The no load noise level is higher than the Honda but under load, I would rate this generator very close to the Honda - (but it is a little louder than the Honda). Not to mention that the Westinghouse is half the price of Honda. If this Generator continues to run like this, and shows a similar lifetime as the Honda - it will set a new standard for camping generators - One thing I did not like was that the IGEN 2500 is marketed at < 3% THD like Honda - But the Spec Sheet shows < 5% THD - Westinghouse needs to fix the Generator or their Advertising Claim to match their Spec Sheet.
