I recently bought this generator as a backup power supply for hurricane season. Followed all startup instructions and it started on the second pull. Tried it out powering my frig and it worked great. I put it outside, about 6 ft from the door and you could barely hear it. I don’t need a hurricane to hit but at least I know I have dependable power available. The name Westinghouse on the unit I know it’s quality.

I purchased this Gen as emergency power in case of electrical loss. Live in Houston, Texas area. . Have to live with hurricanes. Wanted the ability to power up the friges if needed and have electricity to run some lights, tv, etc and a real big fan if we lose power. Easy set up. Added the included oil, Some gas. started on second pull. Very nice. Let it run for about 5 minutes, then hooked up a large fan to the gen. No problem, even switched over to inverter and the gen cut back some. Had the gen outside garage on driveway, Could not hear it in the house, Walked down the street at 100ft sounded fairly quiet. At 150ft could barley hear it Up close is quieter than a lawn mower. Weight not a problem. Easy to move. Very pleased with this gen, just hope I never need it for it's intended purpose. I am DIYer so will keep gas in it and just run it at least every two weeks or more to keep it in efficient order and ready to go.

I purchased a Westinghouse iGen2500 from Sam’s Club. It arrived within a few days and I tested it. The directions were easy to follow in the user guide. I filled the crankcase with the provided oil and funnel. The funnel screwed into to fill/drain plug hole with no mess to fill. The oil is premeasured with the exact amount required. I replaced the dip stick plug and pulled the recoil handle a couple of times to lubricate the piston. I checked the oil with the dipstick and it was full to the exact mark. I put gas in the tank, only enough to test generator, turned the fuel switch to choke, and started the engine. It only took a couple of pulls on the recoil handle and it started. I turned the fuel switch to run and ran as it should. The engine was a little rough when it first started and smoothed out after a couple of minutes. I shut it down, restarted, and it ran very smoothly. To test its capability, I connected a 1200-watt space heater to a power monitor and then plugged it into the generator. There was no hesitation on the engine when I turned the heater on. The Data Display showed the correct wattage and so did my power monitor. Before I turned on the heater, the frequency showed 59.9 Hz on my power monitor and 60 Hz when I turned on the heater, all within tolerance. I let it run for about 5 minutes without a glitch. Very satisfied with this lightweight generator!

After extensive, exhaustive research I decided on the iGen2500 as an emergency power source. I read every review and watched every video. I also talked to customer service and they are knowledgeable, professional, and very quickly accessible.It has the best overall combination of power, features, quality, run time, low noise, and customer service of any generator in it's price range or anywhere near it. It's (reliable)power to weight ratio (with the low decibel noise level) is unmatched unless twice the price of the iGen2500 is paid (you still will not get a fuel gauge). It's fuel gauge (fuel remaining in liters) and lifetime hours tracker are not found in many generators and are a must have feature for me. I don't find the generator lacking in anything and I have zero buyers remorse (VERY unusual for me as I am very particular and have very high expectations which are rarely met). Thanks Westinghouse! Let the summer storm power outages begin!

Unit arrived in great shape and on time from AP Electric. Added oil as directed, filled with Clear Unleaded Premium fuel. Unit started on first pull. As a test I let the unit run for 20 minutes or so powering a 1200 watt toaster oven. Not the most scientific test, but I just wanted to see the unit work. So far so good. Time will tell as I use the unit over the summer.

Bought this to run the 13.5k A/C on our RV. This should have enough power to run the A/C without an A/C soft start controller. This unit has more power than a similar unit for almost the same weight. Great User Manual, well written. I am finding spare consumable parts (air filter, fuel filter) are hard to find online. Really like the data (fuel gauge, power, volts, time) on the control panel

I bought one at the beginning of August because it was on a sale that I could not pass up. I used it for the first time after Hurricane Ida we were out of power for a week and a half. We also had a gas shortage but I was able to run a lot of my necessities in my home with a fraction of the fuel consumption compared to my neighbors big portable generator. I ran ceiling fans with led lights a large refrigerator a upright freezer 6500 btu window unit and it ran at 25 to 50 percent capacity the whole time ofcourse with letting it rest from time to time and maintenance as scheduled. I ran it a total of 176 hours. I was getting between 6 to 7 hours a gallon of gas. So I ordered a second one for me and two more for my neighbors who were impressed with what it could do.

I recently bought an iGen2200 to have on hand during short power outages. I live in Oklahoma and the weather can be extremely unpredictable year-round. I only wanted to be able to power a few appliances and not the whole house. The size of this generator is perfect for my needs. It's easy to move around and position outside the house where needed and it's quiet when it's running. We feel a lot more secure now knowing we can run our fridge and a few lights for a couple of days. The iGen2200 appears to be well-made and dependable. Maintenance is basic and easy to perform. I expect this product to serve our needs for many years to come.

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.

Hard to start at first then immediately went to an over speed situation and indicator showed over load situation. Unable to contact service on 7/3 and when contacted them 7/5 there was NO sense of helping a traveling customer get a replacement shipped soon enough to catch up with us.
