After a lot of looking at other generators, I decided the IGen 2600 would work the best. 2200 running watts instead of 2000 is a good difference. Nice compact package and easy to carry. The only thing was several people had broken spark plugs when they received it, and mine also was broken as well as bent. I had already planned to have a spare on hand so after replacing the plug and adding a little Lucas Oil in the open cylinder, I added fuel and one pull it started. Sounds good, quiet and I like the data center. Changing the oil might be pain without a lower level plug, but not a deal breaker. I plan to add another one later to parallel and get 30 Amps for my trailer when off road camping to allow for AC.

Was packaged very well, filled the oil with the included oil and screw-in funnel which made is mess free. Followed the direction for run operation. Fired up second pull. Runs very smooth and very quite in Eco mode. Eco mode worked great, used a 3 power level small heater to test accuracy - as I switch to each increasing heat setting it bumped up the throttle accordingly. The control panel info and output ports options are fantastic.

I bought this generator awhile ago but couldn't use it in the apartment. So I brought it down to my house in Puerto Rico. I use the generator at night to run basic needs like fans power battery chargers, but the greatest need is for myself and my wife's CPAC machines. Generator is easy to start, easy maintenance and generates power for our needs and beyond. The best feature is how quiet it runs.

Used this for the first time this week. Directions were straightforward. Added the oil and it fired right up. Ran it continuously for about 36 hours. Followed the directions to change the oil at 20 hours. Only problem was the LED Data Display did not automatically rotate. Hoping to receive my bonus generator cover soon for leaving a review. Bonus did not affect my review.

We are super impressed so far with this product. For the price, the quality and features are great. It includes an hour meter, a special oil funnel, and only requires two screws to get off the side for servicing. All of these feature make it easier to service. It is quiet started on first pull when testing it after we added oil and fuel!

Very tolerable noise level and runs smoothly, although I've only run it for two hours at various wattages up to 1100, as per break-in instructions. I can't speak to the reliability and performance at higher wattages, but from reviews, I expect it to perform well. I also own a popular 3500 watt inverter gen that is a back breaker to load into our truck and a 1000 watt inverter gen that works well, but only for very light use - that's where the iGen2500 fits in. I plan to use it for our 13500 btu RV AC (with a SoftStart of EasyStart, if needed). I like the electronic display showing all important data and appreciate the 2200 running watts, which is higher than most, if not all in this size/weight from other reputable brands. I would have given a 5 star review, but I have not yet put this into actual use. Also, the first unit I received leaked from (or near?) the fuel shutoff valve and the replacement unit had shipping damage - no fault of Acme Tools or Westinghouse. I must say that Acme Tools and Westinghouse were both very gracious about providing a replacement and dealing with the shipping damage.

Used it during 3 weeks as home backup power after hurricane Maria struck PR leaving the Island off the power grid. In average I used it daily for 12 hours powering a refrigerator, 1-55" LED TV, 1-40" LCD TV, 8-16Watt Lamps, 2-big fans, 1 800W Expresso coffee brewer running 6 mins. cycle in the morning, and washing 2 laundry loads per week, charging my cel. phones, tablets and laptop. Very quiet and fuel efficient giving an average of 12 hours per 1 gallon of gas. Extremely satisfied with it's performance.

We are stoked to see what this generator can do. At this price point and size, we were excited to make this purchase. We have not ran it yet, but everything down to the security and organization of the packaging makes us think we will have no issues. (If so, Westinghouse offers a great warranty, just be sure to register your device upon purchase)

Temporary Power during utility outage, camping, and for power tools when in remote locations. The unit fired up in a couple polls after removing from box filling with supplied oil checking spark plug air filtera and filling with fuel. Tested it with various electrical loads including multiple shop lights electric fan and a 1 hp air compressor. Has a nice display for fuel level power level voltage an estimated runtime all nice features. Verified the voltage and frequency with a true RMS fluke meter. Voltage reading was accurate within .5 V running at 121 to 122VAC and frequency was steady at 60.05 hz under varying load conditions conditions. Unit is quite quiet and had reasonable sound level at maximum load much better than older Open frame generator. Very nice and a good value compared to much more expensive Honda and Yamaha. Time will tell if it has the same sort of durability of those units.

Just received the Igen2500, added oil and gas, then went to start it and it started first pull. runs smooth and quiet, then hooked it up to my R-POD with a 13500btu air conditioner, ran a/c no problem, running around 1400-1500 watts steady. tried it on another rv with a different brand a/c same results. Love the LED data display. So far very happy!
