Excellent Deal!

I have owned this generator for almost 2 years. It has been a good little unit to me. AC sine wave output is clean with minimal THD for the majority of the load range. It's operational sound (dB) is quiet compared to a typical open frame generator. Gen is easy to start within a few pulls. Let it warm up, treat it well, follow the recommended service intervals and this will last a long time.

Ideal portable generator

This 2500/2200 watt generator is ideal for the homeowner who wants an emergency power supply in the event of unexpected power loss of power that may last from a few hours or for days. This in addition to recreational use for camping or tailgating. A very capable and well built unit.

All the power we needed!

We recently bought a camper and decided we would like to have portable power, ordered this one after looking at the reviews and comparing other products. it started on the first pull and gave us all the power we needed(even running the microwave!) The only issue we had was,I had over filled the fuel tank, it kept vapor locking until the fuel level receded enough to stop the problem, I had to unscrew the fuel cap to let air in. took a little while as it doesn't use a lot of fuel, it ran over 8 hours on one fill up.

Quiet

It is always a challenge not to interfere with neighbors, and this generator will aid in maintaining positive relations. Running a refrigerator and deep freeze barely effected the generator. I'm confident if necessary to run at length, powering home devices for our well fare will be met by this device.

Well built unit and nice features

I just bought this and I put in the oil and it fired right up. It is nice and quiet. I am very pleased as of now. I figured I would rate the product right away so I can get my free cover to protect my investment. I like the digital gauges. FYI, they do not automatically rotate though. You need to toggle through them with a little black button to the lower right of the display. There is no mention of this in the instructions. As of now, it appears to be a great unit. I would recommend the unit

Easy to run & quiet

I bought this soley for camping. I am extremely impressed with the ease of starting, but mostly with how quiet it is when running, especially in econ mode. It is so much quieter than any RV AC unit. It has an impressive console, fuel gauge, output in KW and Voltage. It even records running hours. That was unexpected. It holds plenty of gas for camping usage and is light enough to pack in and out of the back of my truck. It is a great little power supply.

works well

Bought for intermittent emergency use during power outages in CA to operate fridge, washer, dryer, microwave, etc. Starts easily like a lawnmower after several pulls. Grounding recommended was not given guidance in manual, so fastened a length of electrical wire from the grounding nut on the generator to a steel post driven into the ground. Due to weight of generator, it's stored on a small furniture dolly for rolling. Runs quietly and is compact. Easy to maintain. Happy with it.

GREAT INVERTER

I BOUGHT THIS UNIT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN A JOY TO WORK WITH. IT STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY EVERY TIME. IT MEETS ALL MY EXPECTIONS AND AM VERY PLEASED. I CHECKED MANY OTHER BRANDS AND CHOSE WESTINGHOUSE WITH THEIR NICE WARRANTY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE iGen2500 inverter.

Quiet Generator

I have only used this for the initial set-up. I am pleased with how quiet this generator is. I like the display that tells you how much power you are using and/or is still available and how much run time is left for how much fuel is in the tank. Amazing start up! On the very first pull, a gentle one at that! I am looking forward to our next power outage to use this (ha)!
