Wait to try it in power outage

Just filled oil and gas up started soon after, took a few minutes of run time to be able to move the selector swirch off of choke and to the run position, had to run it for several more minutes between choke position and run to keep the generator running finally after that was able to put in run position. Hopefully after more run time it will start and run better in less warm up time.

Solid unit with power to spare

I bought this generator a month ago to deal with anticipated power outages. Luckily I wasn't faced with any so the unit is still in new condition. I sized it to handle my boiler primarily but it can also handle my entertainment center (FiOS cable boxes, router, modem, TV) as well as some lights. I'm considering having a transfer switch installed so I can choose other circuits to power in case I need to run an AC or refrigerator instead of the boiler.

Westinghouse iGen2500 is awesome

Recently took this generator with us on a back woods camping trip. It was awesome and kept our campsite going for the week we were in the wilderness. We used it primarily at night to light up our site. Relatively quieter than other generators we had used in the past. I would highly recommend this little powerful guy!!

Great compact generator

I bought this last week, did not have a need to use is yet, but right out of the box filled it with oil and gas and started on the first 1/2 pull. Seems as small and just as light if not lighter as my other generator but rated over twice the capacity. Looking forward to using it for the camper when boondocking.

Saved the day

We had a power outage. We were informed that it would be late evening before power would be restored. I had seen the unit recently at a local store and went to pick one up. Setup was simple and the unit functioned well. Having a standby power supply was something I always considered but never took action on.

Good value generator

This is my first generator, it is just the right capacity to keep us going during a power outage. It can be carried around and doesn't need wheels. I like all the features and ease of set-up. The owner's manual is very well written. I tried it out and couldn't believe how easy it started, first pull! Works good. I like that it can run for 10 hrs. on one gallon and has the load sensitive engine speed control. Also, the carburetor bowl drain is a nice feature.

Runs Great, Cosmetics rushed

Have had unit for 2 weeks and able to break in using a 13,500 BTU Air Conditioner that pulls 50% load. Unit looks like it was rushed together as some plastic covering was not fully in place and showed plastic stress once removed from box. Mostly just cosmetic but hope it is just that and the motor lasts.

Easy To Use

This generator is easy to set up and get started. We lost power yesterday and after several hours decided we better unbox the generator. Set up was quick and easy, as was starting it. This generator isn't intimidating to me as most full size generators are. I am comfortable using it without help from my husband.

Great Packaging and Features!

We are stoked to see what this generator can do. At this price point and size, we were excited to make this purchase. We have not ran it yet, but everything down to the security and organization of the packaging makes us think we will have no issues. (If so, Westinghouse offers a great warranty, just be sure to register your device upon purchase)

Awesome size and power

Bought this generator last week. Very impressed with the size and ease of use. Instructions are very simple and easy to follow. Would highly recommend this generator for anyone looking for a powerful little machine that's also compact and portable.
