I have not used the generator yet but started it when I purchased it and was pleased with its small size and 2500 amp peak operation. It is not near as niosy as my last generator. Having been through 2 hurricaines and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I hope we never have to use it but I now feel prepared. My last generator was bigger but used fuel at a much more rapid rate. This will operate the window A/C we purchased for emergencies as well as lights and the all important coffee pot!

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 purchased this generator because my old generator was not reliable and wanted to upgrade. After checking several reviews this Westinghouse looked like the best bang for the buck. So far so good as it started first pull and ran perfectly right out of the box. Highly recommend!

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.

I purchased this as an emergency generator in case of a power failure. I test ran it with a light load (fan) for two hours and it worked perfect. I gave it four stars ONLY because the bonus program does not offer the generator cover any longer, so I was stuck with the power strip. The generator itself would be 5 stars.

I am going to use 2 generators to operate air-conditioner from my RV (13500BTU). It seems the starting AC without any issues and the generator has a lot of power. The potential concern so far I have is that the power consumption from both units is not equal (e.g., one showed 0.76 power and the other 0.32). I don't understand why unbalanced power happened under the paralleling operation when the westinghouse paralleling cable was used.

I've used it for multiple track days running tire warmers and my AC, a friend has used it to operate portions of his house this winter during a multi-day outage and it's just worked. I'd like to see just a bit longer surge capacity as my AC is a bear to hot start but that's not the generator's fault. My only operational issue so far is the fuel level float arm either doesn't have enough bouyency or there is too much drag on the setup. I have to use a bent wire to pull the float up with each fill up, it reads the falling tank level fine but doesn't reset on it's own when you top off.

Following the quick-start instructions it started on first pull. Very quiet, especially at low load. Powers our 8000BTU window air conditioner, and 700W microwave easily. At under 50 lbs, and with a good handle it's fairly easy to lug around for me. Great for powering our travel trailer when boondocking without annoying the neighbors.

Nice generator. I spent copious amounts of time researching a generator / inverter for my 5th wheel. It came down to the Honda 2000 watt vs the iGen2500. I wanted to be able to start and run the AC unit so I opted for the iGen2500 over the iGen2200. Yes it did! It was easy to setup and get running, from a out of the box to add oil and gas, it started on the 2nd pull. Suggestions and the reason for 4 stars vs 5: 1) It doesn't come with an hour meter. They are not an expensive item, not hard to install, and the unit requires maintenance based on a hourly runtime schedule. So one would think it would come with an hour meter. ( I purchased a Hardline hour meter for $20 an installed it in about 10 minutes.) The iGen2500 already has a digital display, so one would think an hour meter could be incorporated into the digital readout. FYI Westinghouse... including an hour meter would set you above everyone else and give you an edge when comparing brands, as no one else includes an hour meter on this size of generator. Just saying.... 2) Digital display, great feature but it has some issues, at least for us Americans. First, it's location on the very bottom of the generator makes it hard to read. Locating it on the top would have been a better location. 2nd: it displays the amount of fuel left in the tank in liters. In America where we use quarts / gallons, Quarts remaining would be better. 3rd: the readout for power output is in kilowatts, so the total kw is 2.0kw - 2.5kw, we use wattage to determine load / how many appliance we can power with a generator. So a reading in watts would be far more useful than in kilowatts. 4th: The digital readout rolls between each of 4 readouts, with a letter in front to indicate what the reading signifies. L = for fuel remaining ? how about F for fuel F = for remaining runtime? how about T for time I would like a way to add an external fuel tank for longer run times. Other than these items, I'm happy with my iGen2500 and would recommend it!

After researching inverter generators for our camper the Westinghouse stood out as the leader of the pack. It is very compact which makes it easy to pack for our camping trips. It is light enough at 48lbs for my wife to be able to pick up and move it around. Most importantly it is powerful enough to start and run our 10.5 btu air conditioner in our pop up camper.
