Started with a oil change every 1/2 hour for break in. After the fourth oil change (2 hours) the old oil came out pretty clean. Decided to start the test. I have installed a Reliance transfer switch. Using the WHPC parallel cable with 1 igen2500 connected we were able to run 2 refrigerators, 1 freezer, forced air furnace, satellite TV and a few lights. The igen held all for several minutes before we slowly decreased the load. It was running for all it was worth but did better than expected. We are purchasing another igen 2500 for parallel operation at the house. We started by wanting a gen for our RV and this works great for home back up. Easy to transport for other projects. So far so good.

Bought two IGEN 2500s and the parallel connector to use with my RV and run 30 Amp electric to the RV. Put in oil (oil filler tube is great as it ensures “no spill” by screwing into the oil fill), put in gas, pulled three times and they started. What more can you ask?

I purchased this I/GEN because I wanted one lighter than my old regular generator with the same wattage. I got it, put the oil in, put some fuel in and it started on the second or third pull. Checked everything out and it was A O/K. Plugged up some of my equipment and tried it out. It ran just fine. I ran it about 1 1/2 hours, cut it off for about 30 minutes then started it again with no problem. I ran it a while longer and cut it off. I am thoroughly pleased with it. Great buy as far as I am concerned.

Got this for our camper primarily. We also used it at home to test run the refrigerator in case of a power outage. Started right up, worked great. Powered the camper ac, fridge, lights, and water heater at the same time! Super quiet too. Our conversation was louder than the unit. Very happy.

I have not used this generator yet for the purpose for which it was bought. But I have started a break-in process. In preparation for the purchase I did a little research on what others had done to break in a generator like this. They had suggested that after adding the oil that you slowly pull the start cord to turn over the engine to get the oil distributed a bit. Well I did that and I could not believe the generator started on the 3rd pull. I was only pulling enough to slowly turn the engine over. I was by no means giving it the typical pull to start a small engine. I was impressed.

Even more compact than I thought it would be. I performed 1hr break-in and oil change. Started first pull. There are plenty of youtube reviews talking about the iGEN2500. Will run travel trailer 13k AC unit (according to youtube vids). I'm still in break-in period, but so far i'm very impressed.

I BOUGHT THIS UNIT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN A JOY TO WORK WITH. IT STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY EVERY TIME. IT MEETS ALL MY EXPECTIONS AND AM VERY PLEASED. I CHECKED MANY OTHER BRANDS AND CHOSE WESTINGHOUSE WITH THEIR NICE WARRANTY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE iGen2500 inverter.

It was surprisingly easy to start and fairly easy to carry! I read the manual from cover to cover and found everything clearly explained and all the "cautions" emphasized. I decided to test it out, being that it's my first generator. I followed the pre-operating instructions and filled it with the provided oil and recommended gasoline. Then I followed the starting procedures and pulled the recoil handle and it started on the 4th pull. Now I can sleep better at night knowing I'm prepared for the next power outage in my neighborhood.

OUT OF BOX, ADDED OIL AND GASOLINE. EASY FIRST PULL IT STARTED. AFTER SHORT WARM UP TURNED EFFICIENCY MODE ON. PLUGGED 30 A POWER CABLE FROM RV TRAILER. WENT INSIDE AND SWITCHED ON A/C. IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND CYCLED ON AND OFF AS CALLED FOR. PERFECT FUNCTION IN THAT EFFICIENCY MODE. NEXT DAY STARTED WITH EASY FIRST PULL. CHECKED WHEN A/C WAS RUNNING ON AND 30 FOOT POWER CORD TO RV INSIDE VOLTAGE WAS 119 WITH A/C RUNNING. VOLTS INSIDE WITH LITTLE LOAD ON WAS 121. SO VOLTAGE REGULATION IN RV WAS PERFECT. THE LED FUNCTIONS WERE VERY HANDY. THE iGEN2500 MORE THAN MET MY NEEDS. I'M 82 AND CAN HANDLE THE WEIGHT TO MOVE IT ETC. I RECOMMEND YOU SERIOUSLY LOOK AT HIS UNIT. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS MODEL BEFORE ORDERING ONE.

I bought this generator last week after spending a fair amount of time looking at several different products. What let me to the iGen2500 was the quietness, fuel efficiency, the digital readout panel and Westinghouse reputation for quality. When the generator arrived I went I filled it with oil and gas and it started on the second pull. I was impressed! I only have one hour of run time on it at this point but confident it will do a great job.
