iGen2500...My first outing with this machine and I could not be more happy. Starts first pull every time. Very quiet machine. You don't even know it's running while in a small group of people outside tailgating. I ran two crockpots and a large margarita machine at the same time with no problem at all. I highly recommed this generator for camping/tailgating.

Pros: - Oil & funnel included - Started for first time on first pull - Light (for me at least) - LCD readout is useful - Paralleling function works Cons: - A phillips-head screwdriver is needed to take the side off (no big deal really) This little devil turned out to be everything that I had expected and hoped for. The box arrived somewhat damaged, but I went ahead and opened it anyway, and the generator was just fine. There's a small container of oil and a funnel that come in the box. It took almost no effort to fill the oil reservoir; just pop the cover off and fill it up. My generator took the whole jug of the provided oil. I did not add any additional oil. Before the first start, I filled the gas tank about halfway with ethanol free gas from the local Bucees. I choked the engine, and it started on the first pull. After about 5, maybe 10 seconds, it became clear that it no longer needed the choke, so I dialed it down to the "Run" position and the generator ran just fine. The parallel cable works very well. Another guy at the office bought the same generator and the parallel cable, so we tested it out with a series of shop fans and a portable A/C unit. The load balancing appears to work well (18% & 26% with fans; 80% & 82% with A/C and fans). 10/10 would recommend!

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.

Going to use this with our Fifth wheel. It started and ran for 5 seconds. then died. Started and ran for 5 more seconds and died. Did this several times. Now I have a call into Westinghouse service to see what the next step is. I guess I'll have to update this review after I get a unit that runs. Based on the reviews it looks like a good unit but we will have to see what happens next.

Bought this a few day's ago went out today to try it on my fifth wheel 1st pull it started ran all lights inside and microwave no hesitation then went on to try the air conditioner ran at 50% power them turned on a few lights with it no hesitation again would totally recommend this iGen2600 light weight and quiet

Was pretty happy with this generator out of the box. One very light pull and the generator started right up. However, the first time we went to use it, we began having issues. The generator won't stay running. I've tested the generator with an 1800 watt hair dryer, and then unit will run for a couple minutes. However, if I switch the hair dryer off for a few seconds, then turn it back on, the generator backfires and quits running. It then takes several hard pulls to get it running again. Usually I have to let it sit for a few minutes before trying to start it again. Something is not right with this.

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.

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.

This is the second unit. The first unit started on the second or third pull but would only run for 5 seconds then die. I called customer service and they said someone would call me back. I didn't receive the call so the next day I called again. This time I had registered the unit and they gave me a case number. Be sure to register your generator before you call customer service! The person I spoke with asked what elevation I lived at. We are at 4,577 in Utah. He said it was probably the altitude and said they were going to have a high altitude kit available in 3 or 4 weeks. That would not do me much good since our camping trip was in 2 weeks. He wanted to listen to the unit run since I was at work I couldn't do that. I had to call back the next day and get to the same person. I started the unit and it ran for five seconds and died. Finally after starting it twice more and objecting to the altitude excuse, he finally gave an authorization to return the defective unit and sent a new generator. I received The new unit today! I went through the set up again and this time the new unit started on the first pull. It has run for about an hour with no load. Tomorrow I will run it with a light load and see what happens. I'm keeping my fingers crossed based on all the reviews. I read one review that stated how many service centers Westinghouse has. I found out they do not have a service center near my location and I'm less than fifty miles from Salt Lake City. At this point I would recommend this to a friend based on the fact that it may take a couple of tries to get one that will actually run. I know I will loose watt's when I run at a higher altitude but I still expect it start and run not shut down. I will know in a couple of weeks if it has a problem running at 7,000 - 7,500 feet of elevation. If it does I'll update this review

We bought our generator in preparation of Hurricane Irma after behind left without power for 8 day following Hurricane Matthew. Luckily we didn't need to use it this Hurricane season. We started it up just to check everything and the unit is quiet and powerful. It was easy to start. We are very happy with out purchase.
