Good little generator. I already have the i2200, and wanted to try this i2500. It's a bit louder than the 2200 (because it has a bigger engine) but still pretty quiet. We'll see how it holds up long term but my i2200 is several months old and it still runs like a champ. I use it a couple times a month when I go down to the beach.

I followed the directions. Filled and checked oil, filled the gas tank, and cracked it up. It started on second pull and I slowly moved from choke to run. After a minutes run time, I plugged in a fan then turned it on. It only pulled .3 kw, so I plugged in a wet/dry vacuum. The load increased to 1.1 kw. I let it run for the recommended break in period. I'm very satisfied. I was going to buy a cordless 7 1/2 inch circular saw, but decided to buy this generator instead so that I can use all my corded tools and save money.

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.

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.

Fast and efficient shipping. I am impressed with the size and the set-up. Have not cranked it up yet but plan on real soon. Will update after I do it. I have paid attention to all the reviews so I think I'm ready to get it going. I'm excited with the camping prospect as well as back up in case of outages.

I bought this generator because the 1800/2000 watts are just not enough. I was looking at the Honda generators and this went on sale so I rolled the dice on the generator and im sure glad i did. I have a big 9000watt generator too but if you dont need that much power id rather save gas running this in a emergency scenario. Id buy this again!

This is my second I2500 purchase. I purchased the original as a source for my fifth wheel while boondocking. I’m so happy with the original, I bought a second and a parallel cord so I can run both generators for my AC. Nice to have the pair to run both AC units but don’t have to lug the second generator during the winter.

we received the generator and poured the gas in. It all ran out the bottome. We discovered a tube that ran from the gas tank to the carburator wasn't even attached. My husband put it on and to undo it he had to grab it with pliers to unhook it. This proved to us that this was purely bad quality control. Westinghouse told us to return it to Sam's club.

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.

Received item after a trip from one corner of this country to the other Received in great condition The item is just what I need I have yet to run the it but Im sure it will do what I need it to do if and when the next hurricane shows up.Over all very happy with the item
