First impressions

This generator is very simple to set up and its nice that oil comes with it. I was able to test it right out of the box within 10 min. It started right up on second pull. It is also pretty quiet. I plugged in a couple fans seems to be working fine. I hope it i won't need to use it anytime soon. I like that it is parallel capable if i want more power and like that it is inverter at a decent price. I might be using it in the future for camping.

Easy setup and fired up on first pull!

I was impressed that the unit was shipped with the exact amount of oil needed and a funnel to add it. The unit fired up with an easy pull on the very first try. I am also impressed with the various outputs and displays on the unit which provide status. It is a truly excellent product.

Superior Generator

This is the second one of these that I bought. I use it for camping and emergency backup when Hurricanes cause power outages. By having two of these units I was able to sell my large gas drinking generator that took up lots of room in the garage. During Sally I only burned about 5 gallons of gas, my other generator would have burned 30 gallons.

Hopeful

Right now it's 1 star, I hope I can change that..I only used this one time and did everything that is suggested when storing and use and when I say one time, I used it one for 5 hours and now it won't start…I heard bad thing about Westinghouse and I was hopeful it was all wrong, guess next time I'll listen to what the reviews said and avoid this! I'm about to reach out to support and see if they will help. TBC…

Great little generator

I bought this generator to add power when trailer camping with no hookups. This little baby is powerful enough to power full AC and charge my computer at the same time. Easy to setup and get running. Excited to take this on the road and try it out longer term.

GOOD SIZE

We bought this model for security during power outages which are common in our area. It seems to be the right power for our home to keep lights, refrigerator and freezer running. So far, we are very pleased. It is easy to start and measures rated voltage and power and gasoline amount.

Great purchase! Very Quiet!

Purchased this a week ago. The features easily beat out the competition of similar generators. Having 2 120v plugs makes a world of difference. The USB's are a big help as well. Runs very quiet and fuel efficient. Simple to use. So easy my wife can handle it with no problems. The scrolling digital read out is a big help as well.

Igen2500

Very happy with this generator. I have 8hrs on it as of now. During the 5hr brake in this machine preformed grate. I used two 1500w electric heaters verging the load from 25%to50%then no load at all. It ran grate and got more power as it got closer to 5hrs after that i could run one heater at 1500w and the other at 700w with 75%load. Today I plugged it into my house and ran my boiler garage furnace two fridges and my sump pump with no problem. So far i love it.

Very Nice Unit

I bought the unit to power a travel trailer. So far the unit has been fantastic. Started on the first pull, powered the whole trailer without a hitch. The owners manual is very well written. I am impressed you even discuss how to adjust the valves. I didn't think there were many of us left that can do this!! I love the threaded connection on the crankcase oil funnel. NO MESS. Great weight to power ratio. Very nice generator for at fair price point. THANK YOU big W.

Great features

I am converting a cargo trailor to a camping trailor. I have a Westinghouse 3,000 max watt solar generator with 400 watts of solar pannel. My new gas powered 2,800 watt generator will keep me charged when the solar pannels can't, And run my A/C. Thanks for making exceptional products!!!
