This is my 3rd IGen2500 and I keep purchasing them because they are reliable to run with low noise and excellent stability. I use them to provide power to my off-the-grid small one-room cabins and I can't say enough good things about the IGen2500. I even prefer them over the same size "H" generators.

So far so good. Set up instructions for installing oil and tool kit were easy to understand, unit started on the first pull and was actually quieter than I expected! The only reason I didn't give a 5 star review was longevity I want to see how it is running a year or more from now.

Did extensive research on small portable generators. The iGen 2500 stood out as a very reliable model which should take care of my needs during a power outage. The generator appears to be well built, compact and light weight. The unit started on the second pull and is everything I expected. I look forward to using it the next time we loose power.

I wanted a lightweight solution to run my RV AC, and after extensive generator research I decided to install a Micro Air 364 soft starter for my 15,000 BTU RV AC. I purchased the iGen2500 due to other reviews as well as a recommendation from Micro Air. I received the generator, filled the oil and gas and it fired right up after 2 pulls. I then decided to put it to the test with the RV AC system. Plugged the RV into the generator and the A?C fired right up. I ran it for an hour or so and the generator performed awesome. So, if you are looking for a small lightweight generator to run your 15k BTU AC, go get the soft starter 364 and the Westinghouse iGen2500.

Bought this for power outages and tailgating. Came just in time. Winter can come early in NH and right on cue, wind storm and power outage. This little baby had a baptism of fire. Barely had time to break her in and change the oil who it was called up for service. This puppy powered everything we needed it to do and then some. Super quiet, easy to use. The control center was an added bonus. Love this! If you are on the fence, don't be. Go out and get yourself some piece of mind from an awesome manufacturer...and at an excellent price point. You will not regret the investment.

Pleased with this generator so far. I looked for a long time and this unit simply had the best performance and features for the price. After adding gas & oil, generator started up on first pull. Extremely quiet at idle with eco mode on. Add a load to it and the engine speed ramps up, but it is still very quiet even at full load. I've tested it to about 1600 watts using a space heater and it handles it effortlessly. I'll wait to fully load it until I've finished the break-in. The digital display really sets this apart from other generators in this size and price range. The display will let you cycle through voltage, output power (in kW), lifetime hours, fuel quantity remaining (in liters), and time remaining on fuel. All the functions seem to work just fine and the power output was accurate. You just can't find this feature set in other generators, especially the lifetime hours which is helpful for me to schedule oil changes and such. If first impressions count, this generator is a winner. The big question is long term reliability and that is an unknown. I have a large Westinghouse generator (their W9500DF) that I bought a year ago that has been a tank-- it's a great generator, so I have high hopes that the quality and reliability of this model will be similar.

Generator used as emergency power for aquarium. Starts on first pull and is quiet with small load. Gets louder than expected with heavy loads but might be true with all portable generators. Biggest gripe is fuel gauge and remaining run time are very inaccurate.

New out of box. Fuel level indicator does not work properly. Only shows one indicator light, fuel tank was filled to about 3/4 full. Then filled to the red ring.Still only shows one fuel level indicator light. Hooked up heat lamp to generator and was running fine. Control Panel missing 2 bottom screws. 3 Stars because new unit was not 100%.

The generator was a gift, bought for camping in remote areas. The packaging was very good, the generator arrived in perfect condition. Followed the instructions prior to start up and it was very easy. Haven't taken the generator out camping yet but expect do so very soon. Try the generator on a variety of electrical items here at my house and it has worked just fine.

I PURCHASED THIS IGENERATOR TWO DAYS AGO SETUP WAS VERY EASY AND WESTINGHOUSE PROVIDED EVERYTHING NEEDED TO GET STARTED INCLUDING A NO SPILL FUNNEL. THE RECOIL START IS VERY EASY EVEN MY 5YR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER CAN START IT. THE UNIT IS EXTREMELY QUIET AND THE PUSH BUTTON LED FEATURE TO CHECK FUEL LEVEL AND OUTPUT IS VERY NICE. THIS FEATURE ALLOWED ME TO MAINTAIN THE OUTPUT LOAD UNDER THE RECCOMENDED 50%. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THIS UNIT
