I bought the generator because of the good reviews on specialty websites, not sales sites. The unit is much quieter than my large regular generator and so easy to pull and start. The LED display with electronic fuel gauge, load, and estimated runtime is just icing on the cake. Very happy with the purchase.

First one we've owned. Bought it because we were hit by two hurricanes last year. Researched most generators in its class and believe this is the best pick for my needs. Instructions are very clear; dashboard easy to understand; started on the first pull. And, my wife was skeptical until she heard how quiet it is and what a small footprint for its power.

I'm a female homeowner who has never owned or used a generator. I bought this Westinghouse inverter generator because our electricity provider often shuts off our power for days at a time here in California when the Santa Ana winds are blowing during fire season. I'm looking forward to being able to at least power our refrigerator, some lamps, and a few other things. I haven't used the generator yet, but I just finished reading the entire manual, and I have to say that I am very impressed by how well the manual was written. It is easy to understand, and it did not repeat the same thing many times over like so many manuals do. I chose the Westinghouse iGen2500 for several reasons. It is only 48 pounds, so I can easily lift it by myself. It gets great reviews from people who have used it. It has a fuel gauge. The LED screen and indicator lights make monitoring it easier than other brands. I'm really looking forward to using this during the inevitable public safety power shutoffs that will be coming soon. Having read the manual and understanding it, I'm already pleased with my purchase. I'm going to keep a log book of the hours and time used so that I can strictly adhere to the maintenance schedule.

pro's starts rite up. runs fantastic. I check the power, it is as advertised. nice-looking unit. comes with everything you need to get started with about a 15 minute set up time. the unit is made well. Cons. the only partial con is the housing rattles a bit. found this to be true with most of the competitors as well. Overall this is a fantastic unit and I will be buying another.

This generator has gotten some fantastic reviews online, and has some really great features. The LED readout gives you some very useful information including the amount of time remaining and the fuel level. I liked this particular model (iGEN 2500) which has more output than most that are the same size. Price and quietness were also major benefits.

Purchased this generator to power my camper due to the positive reviews. Once I received this item it lived up to my expectation. The generator starts up with one easy pull of the cord and is quiet enough to use a campgrounds without any complaints. This was a good value for the price and would recommend to anyone.

Needed a smaller & quieter unit for times when I don't need/want to use our bigger generator. This one fits on the storage rack with coolers so it doesn't take up floor space when stored. Fuel efficient & quiet enough to use for extended periods of time boondocking or during power outages. The screws on the engine cover & provided screwdriver are junk, but can be replaced.

I purchased a month ago. Read and followed the setup and break in instructions. Added oil and gas with fuel stabilizer and it fired right up. I have used it several times during the break in with varying loads. It has performed exceptionally. Everything is accessible for easy maintenance. Well thought out design. I am very pleased with generator.

I bought this as an easy way to ensure i had basic power when returning from a hurricane evacuation - so far, can't say enough good things about it - very quiet, very efficient, and can run my big fridge and a few other things for at least a half day on one gallon of gas. Awesome.

Picked up yesterday... followed the very simple instructions for gas and oil (supplied), and attempted to start. First pull it started. I bought this to power my 34ft Travel Trailer when electric hookups aren't available - it appears to work great for this job. I plugged in my trailer and started my 15K AC with zero issue. I do have an Easy Start 364 soft starter on the AC by Micro-Air, I don't know if this would start without it. So far after one day I'm very happy, we will see as time goes on. The only issue I have is there is no explanation of the codes on the display, I'll search the internet for them, but there should be a card or something with this to explain them.
