Great features

Set up was a breeze. It came with oil, a funnel and tools. Instructions are clear. I tested it right away. I ran my French door refrigerator, vacuum cleaner and a couple of fans, all without problems. With 1.2 litters of gasoline ran over 3 hours. Capacity is one gallon (10 hrs). Digital displace is a great feature.

Quiet with Great LED Features

I bought this yesterday and came home added oil and .9 Liters of gas and it started on the 4th pull. It ran for 2.5 hours and was still running when I turned off the gas. I switched from regular run mode to econ mode several times to help break-in the engine. It ran great! I am guessing it will run a minimum of 10-12 hours on a tank of gas. I showed my wife how to use the generator and she was able to start it with no problems. Great investment! The Led's show how much gas is in the tank and how much run time you have left along with other led features such as total hours...Great features.

Excellent Generator

Very versatile and quiet. This model far exceeds my expectations. A real workhorse that does what it says as long as you read and understand the owners manual. Maintenance guidance in the instructions is also helpful for keeping unit functioning properly. It has beaten my previous generators as far as quiet running. Old 64.7dbl vs iGen2500 52.4dbl (running around approximately 25%. I'm planning to purchase a 2nd to parallel with. I highly recommend this model iGen2500.

Quiet and mobile

We purchased this to run power tools on a remote property we are building a house on. This generator ran my saws, charged my batteries, and even charges my cell phone perfectly. A very quiet generator, would recommend this to anyone looking for remote/mobile power options.

EASY TO START!

It was surprisingly easy to start and fairly easy to carry! I read the manual from cover to cover and found everything clearly explained and all the "cautions" emphasized. I decided to test it out, being that it's my first generator. I followed the pre-operating instructions and filled it with the provided oil and recommended gasoline. Then I followed the starting procedures and pulled the recoil handle and it started on the 4th pull. Now I can sleep better at night knowing I'm prepared for the next power outage in my neighborhood.

Great Value!

I researched several generators and decided on the iGen 2500 Westinghouse for its features and price. I am very happy with the purchase. The generator is very quiet and met my expectations based on the data and research I did. It also comes with oil and a funnel, so that is a nice bonus. I plan to use this for running my CPAP over night at the hunting shack, so I'm looking forward to seeing how long it will run on one tank. They advertised a free cover if you registered it after the purchase, but they said they are all out, so I was just a bit disappointed in that.

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.

Hard starting during break in

I followed the break in instructions and ended up having to babysit the unit to keep it running. I needed to keep the choke on for the first hour or it would shut down on the "Run" setting. Now that I am into hour three it will run on the "Run" setting with a few stutters every so often. Hope it keeps getting better and runs steady when I get to using it under load.
