First one deffective

Received 7/16/21 by UPS. Opened up, serviced, and cranked first pull, very impressed. After running with no load for about 30 mins, I added a fan to load and got no voltage or wattage outputs from data center readout panel. Sending this one back, but willing to try one more time as I really like the features it has. Will update review after new unit is received and tested.

Very Great for the price!

Great product for the price. I had a couple little issues, like a dirty gas take and one broken spark plug. All easy to remedy. I purchased two and have ran each one for almost 2 continuous hours with and without loads to test their capability and operation. So far so good. Again, for the price you can't beat these little Generators.

Perfectly Timed Purchase!!

So thankful I bought this after last snow storm hit us in Texas. Thought I might use it for a hurricane or something, but then the crazy snow storm of 2021 hit and I pulled it out and fired it up. Ran our refrigerator, and freezer off of it. Then cycled them off and ran our other refrigerator. Kept all our food safe for over four days. Ran a lamp at night also and charged our phones. It was incredible. Quiet. Efficient. With cycling and turning it off over periods of time I only used about 5 gallons of gas over four days! And with Gas in short supply that was a blessing!! The LED indicators let you know how much run time with the amount of power it is using. This thing was a life saver for us. My wife was so thankful I bought it!

Watch out Honda, the blue generators are a better!

So far, so good. Bought the 2200 model last year for my daughter's show animal trailer and it's been great. Easy to start for her and mom. I recently bought the 2500 model for my electric tools and only used it a couple of times. Great price, great deal.

Nice backup or camping generator

I bought this as a backup generator to use as a power source during power outages. I have used it only once and that was just to test it. The generator was easy to start and it ran fine with a 2000W load on it. The sound level was fairly quiet and wasn't objectionable even with the unit running right next to my back door.

Great generator at a great value!

Fired right up. Ran it hard varying the load for 20 minutes. Dumped the oil and filled it with Rotella T6 Synthetic. Seems awesome. Bought it to run our camper or concession trailer in a pinch. It ran a space heater and a hair dryer when asked. I’m very happy!

Good value

This looks to be a very good value at the price paid. Easy setup, but I did have to order carburetor jet kit for high altitude as the unit is rated up to 2K elevation. Jets are avalable for eacy 1K additional elevation, but only up to 6K feet. I started and ran the unit at my 9K elevation with no problems, just doesn't need much choke! Seems to run ok so far. Satisfied so far and much lower price than some other units. Sound is ok.

Power went out a week after purchase!?!

The week after I bought this generator, our power was out for 48 hours. This came in very handy. I was able to run our fridge, deep freezer, modem, router, pc, tv, and game systems all at the same time. There was one time that it stalled and I think it may have been because of the efficiency switch being on. So far it has worked very well. A full tank lasted around 10 hours for us.

Westinghouse iGen2500

I have owned many portable generators before and after much research, the iGen2500 was the very best choice. Runs smooth and quiet (59 db at 25'). Under 50 lbs and easy access for maintenance. One of the key features i was looking for was the amperage output (19A). I was able to run a 12k window a/c unit with less than 50% draw on the generator. Also, electric chainsaw and a 1500 watt portable heater, not all at the same time. Provided oil, tool kit. and funnel. A 32 page owners manual, with routine maintenance instructions, and an illustrated parts breakdown for parts ordering. In particular, i like the lcd display and the eco boost switch. All and all, it is a dependable, powerful generator and highly recommdnded. Three year warranty and excellent customer service.

Powers a 14000 btu A/C with no problems

Generator was bought to run a 14,000 BTU portable air conditioner. It has no problems powering or start up on 14,000 btu air conditioner. The air conditioner is a Whynter ARC-14S Duel hose portable A/C. Overall I am very pleased with the generator it is very quiet and fuel efficient.
