We live in Hurricane alley in Florida and decided this year we would be prepared. We wanted to have an inverter generator on hand to run chest freezer, fans, lamps and recharge electronic items. We wanted portable, light, reliable, and easy start. After extensive research we selected the iGen 2600. We liked the higher starting 2600 watts and the continuous 2200 watts should easily power what we need. So far it has been easy to maintain and starts with 1 pull!

Filled the engine up with supplied oil and pulled cord several time to get the oil moving around. Put about a half gallon in the tank. The unit started in 3 or 4 pulls. The engine died a couple of times but is running steady now. Plan to use the generator for my drone business and the house if the power were to go out for any length of time. I was concerned about how will the unit would run since my house is at 6000 feet+. Prior to buying, I called customer support they told me that the unit had been tested up to 4500 feet. The rep said that in early 2018 they were going to sell a high altitude kit. So I plan to buy that once they start selling them.

The iGen2500 runs my camper RV 13,500 BTU A/C. With nothing else running, all the breakers off, and the engine warmed up the generator would take everything it had to start the A/C before the hard start capacitor was installed in the A/C unit. After the Hard start capacitor (Supco SPP6) was installed in the A/C would start no problem.

I purchased the unit to use while dry camping. I had just ordered a new Travel Trailer and wanted to have 110 and AC. I could not be happier. The unit is lightweight and more importantly quiet. It is said to have one of the longest run times per tank but I have not needed to run it more than a few hours at a time. I did purchase synthetic oil to use from the start,.....I am a believer.

Tested it out on my Refrigerator in the garage. Ran smooth & quiet in Eco. Mode for10min. No problems. Would definitely refer a friend to buy. I bought the 2500 might get another. 48 pounds is easy to handle and move around.Great product from Westinghouse keep up the good work.

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.

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.

Just unboxed my new iGen2500 today, so too early to give a rave review. While it started on the first pull, the generator ran a bit rough with a frequent miss. Ran to the hardware store and picked up comparable NKG plugs to replace the Torch plug it came with, and noticed some improvement after switching them out. It runs pretty quiet--- good thing, as I intend to use it on my sail boat at anchor. It really should have come with a cover, though....

Recently took this generator with us on a back woods camping trip. It was awesome and kept our campsite going for the week we were in the wilderness. We used it primarily at night to light up our site. Relatively quieter than other generators we had used in the past. I would highly recommend this little powerful guy!!

The generator itself seems OK. Starts up in two pulls. However several things need improvement. The side panel to pour the oil is secured by two screws and a rubber grommet held panel. The screws don't thread out well and i had to use a flat screwdriver to pry the panel out. It would be nice if they created a pocket in the plastic case to store the tools provided (Screw driver and spark plug removal socket) While those are appreciated, they are also easy to misplaced on units that get moved around a lot like ours is. It is also quite a bit noisier than the Honda 2000i it replaced but the priced right.
