Initial Review, very pleased out of the box!!

I have considered one of these for some time. A friend was too, and we decided to buy a pair and a parallel cable. We started them up today in parallel and load tested them. They both started on the first pull, and performed well!! Very pleased with this product so far.

iGen2500

Machine started right up like it should. I done the break-in run period with the generator and have ran it for a few hours so far and I works like it should. This generator will power up everything on my 20' camper with no problem. Just not everything at the same time but know that before I bought this product. Thanks Westinghouse.

Started first pull!

Arrived 3 weeks late but I guess that can be expected because of the hurricanes this year causing high demand. Added oil and non-ethanol gas, choked and it started first pull! I have had a Honda 2000 for over 13 years that still runs great but needed more power for AC on my RV. It runs as quiet as my Honda but time will tell about the reliability of the unit. First impression is I am very happy with this purchase.

Awesome!!!

I was quite sad when my Onan in the motorhome died. I shopped around extensively and, after comparing prices and reviews, I decided on the iGen2500. This is an awesome generator. It fires up my motorhome's AC with ease. It also works great with my house LG refrigerator. I trust the Westinghouse name as much as Honda (and definitely more than all of the off brands out there). Looking forward to many years of use, and even the next power outage.

Does the Job, But Not Well Packed

I tested the generator and it works well and is as quiet as expected. It arrived on my front porch in an oil-soaked carton that was barely holding together. Luckily, there was no shipping damage to the unit. The oil bottle inside was fine, so I can only assume that the bottle in the carton stacked above it in the warehouse leaked down onto it.

2500 Watts that I can easily pack anywhere needed

Bought this to use with my RV and as backup/emergency home power. So far works great. Starts right up and is quiet. I am not a scientist but give or take a db or two and it is as quiet as any others out there.....and at a GREAT price! So far I have used it on the RV and around the home. Sometimes it is just easier to grab this than to pull out extension cords for work out my large yard.

Nice generator

I started out using some 85 octane I had in the garage. The exhaust didn't smell to good and it didn't run very well. I always intended on running 91 octane Ethanol free gas and when I did it ran much better and the exhaust didn't stink like old gas. She likes 91 so that's what I recommend you run.

Easy to Start

Use it on my boat to run everything at night while on anchor The generator works great I'am not happy about writing this review in order to register the unit. Registering would have been just fine without the review. On top of it, I was told I would get a cover for the unit, instead they stay the covers are not available only the power strips don't need a power strip need a cover. Again the generator starts overtime and powers everything I need it too. Westinghouse you need get better at your marketing.

Easy to start

I just received my IGEN 2500. Everything I needed to get it going was included in the box, including the oil. Started on the 3rd pull. Put an electric heater on it to test its output and everything worked perfectly. I bought it to provide safe, reliable power for operating my ham radio equipment off the grid.

Once started, ran well.

Will be using for tailgating, although we have Hurricane Irma bearing down on us now. Difficult starting now. Spark plug was screwed in very tight. Once I took it out and reinstalled, it started right up. Starts best when choke isn't fully engaged. Quieter than I expected.
