Works great when running and easy to move around. Wasn't able to get it started out of the box so had to use a small shot of starting fluid. Still doesn't start as easy as it should and often smells flooded. I just keep starting fluid in my RV if I need it to start sometimes. Once it's running, it is a great generator for it's small size.

Don't tip the machine past about 45 degrees when changing the oil! This led to some issues keeping it running during break in. Also, check gas cap if generator suddenly stops running. It may not be tightened up, or even too tight! Other than that, very pleased with the unit. Make sure you do a proper break in (check youtube), run FULL synthetic oil after break in, and replace spark plug with an NKG or Bosch. Just my opinion.

I purchased two of these generators. When they ran they worked well. The problem was they often didn't run or ran poorly. Both generators would not restart when they were warmed up. I had to wait two hours with the first generator before I could start it again. I had to wait over night before I could restart the second generator. Shortly after the break in period it began to stumble badly. Every five seconds it would slow down and then speed up. sometimes while idling both generators would show faults with the indicator lights either the red overload light would be on or the green light was off and no others on. Customer service was very responsive and pleasant to deal with . However, they could not solve the problems. We tried fresh fuel and running the generator without a fuel cap. The air intakes were not plugged. I ran both of these generators 8 or 9 hours trying to fix the problems Everything we tried didn't work. I really wanted these generators to work out. Its hard to find a generator in this size that delivers 20 amps continuously. I tried my best to get them working properly and failed.

This is an early review as I have only done the break-in of the generator. Purchased it on sale for $400 and it arrived a few day ahead of schedule. It comes with 10W30 4stroke/cycle oil, screwdriver, and a spark plug wrench. I checked the spark plug to make sure it wasn't damaged as some other reviews had pointed-out that it could be damaged during manufacture. I added the oil and a half can of ethanol-free Tru-fuel (4 cycle). Started on the 2nd pull and ran it for about 15-30 minutes. The idle seemed to hunt a bit at first but smoothed out in about a minute. Based upon my previous experience with 4 stoke engines, I changed the oil after this run. There were some metal filings in the oil from the 1st run, but nothing more than I've seen from my Honda. After this oil change and started-up and ran the generator with various electrical loads an it did what it supposed to do. After about 10 to 20 hours I'm going to do another oil change and go with 4 cycle synthetic oil.

Waited for the sale of the year. Ordered online. Was delivered in a few days. Arrived in great condition. Put in oil and gas and started break in procedure. After two hours without any load, I drained and installed synthetic 10w30 oil. Then started testing the generator. I purchased the generator to run my 21 foot travel trailer. I appears to be working fine. When starting the ac I make sure all other items are off. After starting the ac, then I can turn back on what ever I need. Very happy with purchase.

The iGen2500 is a great little generator, easy to start and long run time at 50% capacity. Like the extra bells and whistles on this unit from Sam's Club that are not on the same model bought elsewhere. Digital read out for various information is nice and the ability to link via the separate plug in.

I purchased this and used it twice and perfect, easy to start and quiet. The next time I tried to start it, it would not start. It was not getting spark. I called and the customer service and they were just unbelievably professional, asked the right questions, had one shipped out the next day to replace it. The replacement is dead on perfect and far exceeds my expectations. Thank you

Started up new with second pull worked great but ran a little rough the whole time. Only used 2 hours and one of the LED on the fuel level side stopped Working. Called Westinghouse and sent them video and they agreed to exchange it for a new one. I am in the process of returning it now. All and all a great inverter generator in spite of my not so perfect experience. I am excited to get the new one and hopefully have no problems as this generator is a lot of generator for the money.

Initial review is they (I got two) are perf4ct for what i want. One is capable of running the a/c in the trailer but I wanted the ability to Make coffee. make toast, use a air fryer so I bought two and a parallel cable. They starl easy and and and, at this point I am very satisfied. The real test will be this summer when I start traveling.

Not really all that quiet. It came out of the package ok and started ok. My other generator is a Briggs and Stratton. This one is quiet when idling, but under load is much louder than the other one. That must be why they don't give you a db rating. There is also a faint generator whine under load that is not there on the other one. It does handle the air conditioner in my camper though. I hope it lasts.
