Great so far

Generator came a couple days ago. I added the oil and gas, started on the second pull. I used my rv for the break in period. Five hours later I shut it off. I would like to tell you more but that's all I ran it so far, but those 5 hours it ran great.

Looking forward to trying it out.

Just received it. Put the oil in and will gas it up when I need it. Seems solid and well built, but the plastic cover snapper broke when a removed the service cover to access the oil input hole - it is super cluing now. And there was a loose metal nut thing inside that I had to remove. Not sure where this goes but may find out later - guessing it has something to do with the service panel removal.

Bonus question and quick review

Dear Westinghouse: Due to the proliferation of bad weather we've had in Louisiana this year, I decided to purchase a generator large enough to run our freezer and refrigerator in case our electricity went off. The iGen 2500 seemed to be the perfect choice for us, since it is small, easily handled by two senior adults, and would fit our needs. A generator is a major purchase for us. It took hours of watching YouTube videos to choose the best generator to fit our needs. We followed the instructions exactly as stated in the manual and the generator will be well taken care of for its lifetime. We were delighted to discover that, if we left a review, we would qualify for a generator cover. So, I immediately complied, but quickly discovered the cover was not available. This is a great disappointment because we are on an extremely limited budget. It seems to me that a company who is concerned about their reputation would be sure to produce as many covers as they produce the "Congratulations!" for free cover cards they place inside the box, or to stop shipping the generators with those cards. If the card had not been in the box, we would not have a sour taste about an unfulfilled promise. At this point, we have run the generator for several hours to break it in and have experimented with several different configurations. We like it and we think it will suit us very well. Sarah H.

Seems Excellent out of the box

Product seems very well designed and to perform well right out of the box. Good instructions. Started on first pull. Have only run it for a couple of hours for initial testing and break-in. So I cannot give it 5 stars (or less) until I've used it awhile and can better assess its performance and durability.

Easy to start, extremely quiet, and light

I bought it and immediately started using it to power my chainsaw and polesaw. I carry it with my trailer through out my property, starts with the first try. The instructions that came were clear and complete. Added the oil, gas and I was up and running immediately.

Worked as expected

Received item promptly. Included everythin you need inclusing a very nice screw in funnel for motor oil. After filling oil and gas, the unit cranked on the 2nd try and ran quietly unloaded. Connected RV and turned items on one at a time. The unit provided power all the way to the rated output and the noise level was still tolerable. Very happy with generator so far.

Nice portable power unit

I used this unit this past weekend and it was able to handle a circular saw and a jig saw connected to it and the power consumption never went above 25%. Appears to be a powerful unit. Giving it five stars for now but I'll have to see how it holds up over time.

Great for boondocking

Just bought this as a backup when boondocking. We have solar panels to charge the batteries on the trailer, but I wanted a backup. Planning a trip this month and it may still be hot so after break-in I tried running the A/C while on generator and it worked just fine!

IGEN2800

Purchased this generator after borrowing the same model during a power outage. Used to power our refrigerator, freezer and pellet stove. We were happy with the ease of operation so ordered one for ourselves. Started up for a while to start the break-in process. Happy with this purchase.

Power in small package

I just recently bought this so this is just first impressions. This unit fired right up. I did a oil change after first hour and oil looked very clean. I love Eco mode it drops down very quiet. Seems to be a nice overall package. I did test it on my smaller camper AC and it fired it up with only a slight drop in voltage for a few sec. I think this will fit my needs for on the road travel nicely.
