Super quiet and runs smooth

Just received it yesterday and tried it out today. The thing runs great. Starts right up. Powered up my fridge which was my main reason wanting it. It only showed running at 25% capacity running it too. I just got it so can't really say much more yet. So far very pleased.

Easy and starts with 1 pull

I purchased this generator for two reasons. First since we live in Florida I wanted a dependable unit to have in case of a power outage from a hurricane. Second we enter our community golf cart Christmas parade every year. And this year we needed a generator to power all of our lights.

Wont Start

I'm glad I don't need it right away. I put in gas. Put oil in up to the H on the dipstick.put about a 1/2 gallon of gas in. Turned it to Choke. Pulled 5 or 6 times...nothing. Hit the reset button. Pulled 4 or 5 more times...nothing. Operated the choke-run off switch and saw that it was adjusting the fuel. I opened the drain fuel line and watched it fill the tube. I called customer service who recommended I take it apart to make sure all connections are secure. There is one connector with a black and red wire that is hanging out there but I dont see anything to plug it into. I put it back to together, only lost 2 screws, and no change. I need help before a storm comes.

Great Buy

This generator has been great. Came with everything needed in the box, the directions were clear and it started right up. I originally purchased this generator for my cabin but after realizing how much electricity I need vs what I thought - I now plan on using this to power my home necessities during a power outage.

Started First Pull

I purchased this generator because my old generator was not reliable and wanted to upgrade. After checking several reviews this Westinghouse looked like the best bang for the buck. So far so good as it started first pull and ran perfectly right out of the box. Highly recommend!

More powerful than the competition

This is the third brand of inverter generator I recently purchased (other two were returned unused). The first brand could not be paralleled. The second was only 1600 watts continuous. This unit is 2200 watts continuous and comes with a three year warranty!

This is a quiet lightweight Gen., which i would buy again!

I needed a lightweight generator, that would give me 2000 running watts to be able to run either my microwave/convection oven or my A.C.! This WH igen2500, seems to give me what I wanted, and started right-up on the first pull. Very happy so far. Getting the multi outlet extension cord, I believe is a must.

Excellent successor to WH2400i

Initial impressions are quite good. Seems to have a better overall fit and finish compared to my WH2400i. The entire side can be removed for maintenence which seems much more convenient than my 2400 though valve lash adjustment requiring access to the valve cover still appears to require a more complete disassembly much like the 2400. Love the runtime indicator as it helps to make scheduling maintenance less of a guessing game.

Started on first pull

I immediately ran a two stage heater (out on the driveway) for a couple hours in econo mode. I would manually switch from off to 1000w and 1800w every once in a while. Handled the transition between settings just fine. I than took it to my camper and ran my 13500 btu AC unit. This worked fine in standard mode. I tried to adjust the temp setting knob manually, turning the knob down and then back up and the unit went into overload. Thinking maybe there could be pressure build up in the compressor, I decided to let the the AC cycle on its own. This way the cycle time was longer, letting the compressor settle back down. Not only did this work, but also worked in econo mode. That's why I gave it a five star. It does everything I expect and than some!

So far so good... Did have to return first one

Works great and is actually pretty quiet. When under a full load it gets loud but hey.. It's a generator lol the first one I received the cord got stuck out and would not go in after the 2nd pull but they sent me a replacement instantly so great customer service!
