Easy set up and starting

As a 61 year old female, I needed something I could start easily. This fits that requirement nicely. I bought this to be able to dry camp when I want and have in case of a power outage here in Florida. I read great reviews and am thus far pleased with my purchase of another Westinghouse product - I have a Westinghouse pressure washer that I love.

Perfect Portable Power

Bought last week and starting the break in. Box delivered with a little damaged and was worried. However, checking oil and carefully following directions, started up on 2nd pull. Use the small 92 oct gas with gas stable already inside. (Lowes/Menards). Ran small portable battery charger and light load for 1.5 hours. Plan to change oil again and then another higher load. Love the LED readout on the side. May update later as with more runtime.

Well constructed

Just received this unit several days ago. Opened it up today and was pleased with the overall construction and looks. Oiled up and gassed up and it fired up in two pulls of the cord. Nice and quiet and all features appear to be working as designed. Am looking forward to hooking it up to the camper.

Quiet powerhouse that wont disappoint

Lucky me. When this unit arrived a storm blew thru knocling out my electricity for 3 days. Luckier me is the generator worked like a champ. I ran 2 large freezers plus several electronics without a hiccup. Very quiet, i love it. Look forward to the many uses i have planned for my blue little monster.

Excellent value

Out of the box I added the supplied oil and fuel. Started on second pull. Ran slightly rough for thirty seconds and settled into a smooth idle. I've only run the unit for about a half hour to test a few items and it handled them great. Very quiet. My only concern is the instructions say I can't operate above 50% for the first 5 hours of operation. Seems like a ling break in.

Small and Powerful Generator

I bought this generator a month ago ... It worked flawlessly for over 30 hours during the Texas winter storm. It powered my TV , space heater , refrigerator and internet modem. We charged multiple phones and laptops without any issues and it is super quiet . I'm really glad I bought it ...

So far so good!

Having researched similar generators, settled on this model because of 2200 running watts. Rated only 4 stars because it came with a broken spark plug, which according to multiple reviews was an issue. Set up was easy and it ran smoothly throughout a 5/6 hour break low to medium loads. So far so good!

So Far, So Good

So far, so good. I received my new iGen2500, took it out of the box, added the oil and some gasoline, and it started on the third pull. The side cover was a little tough to get off the first time in order to add the oil, but I was being very cautious so as to not accidentally break anything; the rubber grommets are a bit tight when new. There are many on-line reviews that advise changing the oil after a short break-in period. This made sense to me, so after running it lightly loaded for about an hour (with an occasional 1 kW hair dryer for a few minutes at a time, just to exercise things), I changed the oil. The oil was fairly clean and there was no debris (metal particles) that I could see. Seeing this result was good news. I'm hopeful that the manufacturing processes and/or quality control have improved to eliminate some of the early wear that other users have experienced.

Nice little Unit

We bought 2 of them a while back to use in our trailer in case of an emergency. We are seniors and wanted something that was easier to lift. We figured we get two smaller ones that are less weight and combine them to have enough power to run our 35' trailer. The noise level is pretty good, no complaints. I hope they last a long time.

Quiet running, easy to operate.

I bought this online with a special deal. We are super happy with the ease of use. As a female the pull start was super easy to use kicked on with one pull. The noise is quiet compared to most on the market. For the price, this was the best on the market to run our mini RV! Look forward to being off grid more now!!
