Bought it to replace a conventional generator for camping - half the size / half the weight. Just tried it this morning. Seems to be as advertised. Looking to using it on a long trip upcoming, as well as, several one-weekers later this year. Not as quiet as I had hoped - however, my test spot is an echo chamber.

Finally purchased this inverter after comparing with other brands and am very happy with the value received for the money I paid for it. It's user friendly and the accompanying manual explains everything from initial start up to a quick view assessment of power output vs load. Very happy with this generator/inverter.

Generator works fine. easy to start. Heavy and louder than expected but still worth it , I bought two. Don't bother with filling out Westinghouse propaganda promo to get your info for free cover. They never send and say it on back order ever time you call to check back.

This is my first portable generator since 1984. The iGen2500 is lighter than my old Honda650 and a lot quieter with 4 times the juice. After adding the oil I gave the pull cord a light easy test pull. Guess what the darn thing started right up. Ran for a few minutes then plugged in the camper, turned on the air conditioner (the fridge was already running). Then turned on the microwave. That flipped the overload switch. After resetting the overload by pushing a button retested with the AC set a little lower and the power on the microwave set at 8 rather than 10. Everything kept running. Can't wait to take it out in the woods. Side panel to access oil, air filter and other stuff is a little cheezy but it works. Read the full manual description not just the Quick Start Guide to get a better understanding of how it all fits together.

I have been wanting this particular model for quite a while and finally got one. The main purpose is to keep a refrigerator going plus smaller appliances during a power outage since we can be affected by tornadoes or aftermath of a hurricane (far inland but not quite far enough) as well as for RV camping. So far I am pleased with the product and hope to keep it running for a number of years.

First impressions, right out of the box, can be misleading. I left a 4 star review before firing it up. When getting ready to break it in, I first checked the spark plug, due to many reviewers stating theirs had broken, or damaged spark plugs from the factory. Mine, too, was broken! This is not "shipping" damage, it is assembly line damage. Unacceptable lack of quality control. I installed a quality Denso spark plug, filled the engine with oil, and it started up on the first pull. Nice. During the first 8 hours of break in, 3 additional issues surfaced: 1)- an intermittent rattle sound while NOT under load, coming from the area behind the control panel. 2)- inaccurate fuel level information. The fuel level graph, the liters in the tank, and the remaining run time could not agree. After everything said zero fuel/runtime, the machine ran another 45 minutes. 3)- the engine never ran entirely smoothly. Whether loaded or not, it always sputtered some. Not confidence inspiring. I called Westinghouse support, and they suggested I exchange it through Sam's Club. I agreed, and hope that the replacement unit will fully meet my expectations. I will post another review on the new one. I would only recommend this generator to a friend at the sale price, and if they were willing to spend a little time sorting out any problems. For the sake of the Yes or No question, I must say No. If I can get back in to edit this review I will add photos, but right now they won't attach.

This generator is identical to two others I purchased last year. They all operate well, especially after you get used to adding gasoline and changing the oil. This one doesn't always start the first attempt, and unlike my other two, does not sound much different when in choke or run. However, as long as it starts and runs a reasonable length of time, it does the job. On all three, the display of time remaining goes down to F00 about an hour before it runs out of gasoline.

Bought this for camping and when the power goes out. Light duty mainly. Its working excellent. Starts on the first pull and pumping out clean power. Read the manual and follow some online guides to break the engine in and you will get your moneys worth. I love how quiet it is.

I was extremely impressed with everything about this generator, iGen2500-CAMO. The user manual was well thought out, it actually has exploded views of the generator and engine, a full parts list, and the electrical schematics! The exact fill oil bottle and screw on funnel, bonus! I filled the tank, set the choke, and it started on the FIRST pull! Excited to put it under load to see how she holds up. Stay tuned.....

Bought this generator for specific reasons. Using it to run window air conditioner or space heater in the home and the air conditioner on my RV if we were to lose power. Can handle everything I've plugged in and then some. Extremely happy with purchase and recommend for anyone looking for emergency power. Plus it's light and can be hand carried.
