I bought this after San Antonio, TX had a power outage for 4 days at our home. Just took it our of the box 3 days ago to start it up for the 1st time. I wish it would have had a better break in procedure written out in the manual. Otherwise the directions were very helpful. Machine is very quite when running without a load on it. I wish I would have bought the next bigger one but it was a trade off between weight and power. It will operate my freezer and refrigerator and lights on a rotation bases which is what I wanted. And for camping.

I bought this a month ago. I'm very placed with how easy it is to use. Just add the provided oil and fuel and start. That's it. The included brochure has lots of helpful maintenance information. This generator powers my heater in my camper with plenty of power to spare.

I bought this generator, for forest camping, I do not do hookups. I am very impressed what this generator can handle, ac and fridge plus charging my batteries. The machine is so easy to start, and the panel is easy to read. I like the instruction manual and also the service chart.

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.

Just got this and it was easy to set up. Liked the screw in funnel because it prevented a messy fill up with oil. I fired it up for a few hours and tried several devices. I try to heat gun and it worked well and I ran a fan for a while and everything seemed to work exactly as if I had plugged it into the house current. I can't speak for longevity but out of the box it seemed to be everything it was advertised to be.

It's pretty heavy (I guess "lightweight" is relative to other generators) and louder than I expected. But it seems to work well so far (still doing the break-in). I tested the noise level with a decibel meter on my phone with no loads on and it was 77 dBa from 10 ft away and 70 dBa from about 50 ft away. This was without eco mode on though - so as I understand it, at full rpm (but no loads yet). When I put some load on, it got louder. I'll have to test with eco mode on. I wish they would publish decibel ratings for load levels other than just 25% (what I got is well higher than 52 dBa). I like the digital display including hour meter, fuel estimates and power output being used.

Been running for an hour, doing the breakin as we speak. Packaging humidity packet broke and all the pellets were in the generator housing. No big deal. Cleaned out, added the oil that came with the unit, added gas and started up after about 5 pulls. After generator was warm I shut it off and restarted with 1 pull. Hopefully it lives up to others reviews that have had it longer.

We recently bought an RV and while half our trips are at campgrounds with utilities we spend the other half dry camping and this generator has been great! Runs well, quiet and not too heavy in case I am not around and my wife needs to move it. Would definitely recommend to friends.

This igen2500 generator has been a good and reliable emergency source of power. The only complaint I have about it is the engine access cover is a pain to remove to check the oil. A Phillips screw driver is required and the cover is difficult to pull away from the side of the unit for access.

I am so relieved to have this product! On a regular basis, we use it on a plot of land that we use for recreation purposes. It is great to have a portable power source that we can rely on, and one that I (at 5'2", 130 lbs.) can carry by myself and handle with no problem. Also, in the last several years, we have been in the path of numerous hurricanes and tornados that left us without power for weeks at a time. It is such a mental relief to know that we have this iGen 2500 to get us through those days. I could not be more pleased with this purchase! Highly recommend!!
