No fuel shut off valve

Great generator but would have liked it to have a fuel shut off valve. I looked to see if I could add one but not much room inside to add one. My Champion 3100 does have a shut off valve a good feature to have to run gasoline out of the carburetor.

Great little generator.

So far so good with 10 hours on it. I gave it four stars only because upon delivery it came with the set screw on the carburetor bulb was wide open causing a gas leak. Once tighten, problem was fixed and it works great.

Very Quiet

I bought this for our teardrop camper. Out of the box it is everything I was expecting. It started immediately and a runs quiet enough for my needs.

Was hoping for more!

Great while it worked! Used once then ran every month with a little gas in it till it ran out just to make sure it would run if we needed it. Stopped starting after a few months!

Perfect Emergency Back-Up

With all the weather related issues I bought this as an emergency back-up for my freezer and fridge in case we experience any prolonged power outages. Just gives me peace of mind knowing I won't lose any cold or frozen food.

Sputtering when idle

This is my 4th Westinghouse igen generator and unfortunately I didn't get lucky with this one. Its sputtering on idle. Hope it will be cleared with warranty.

Solid Unit!

Just arrived this afternoon. Added the supplied oil, fueled up, and fired it up! Very quiet, ran for 10 min. I’m going to get to use this a lot on my property!

Second pull and it started

I bought this as a backup in case we have a rolling blackout in So. California. Followed the directions and it started on the second pull. Put is on half load and it ran flawlessly.

iGen2500

Just purchased this iGen2500 for the output wattage and engine size. I would have liked to have seen a 12volt charger instead of the USB ports and a 30amp RV plug. I like the idea that you will include the generator cover for storage.

Great generator, starts first or second pull

Purchased this generator to keep my refrigerator running and basic lights in the event of power outages. Excellent little generator, starts on first or second pull and is quiet. Also, easy to move around as it is light weight. I'm lovin' it.
