Looks great so far.

Just got it out of the box and gave it a good looking over. A lot of attention appears to have gone into its design and the fit and finish is very good. Prepped it and started it in three pulls. It is much quieter than I expected and a much smaller package considering the power output. Can't wait to put it through it's paces.

iGenn 2500

I bought this several months ago, prepared it to run per the instruction manual and it fired right up on the first pull! It has been running great and I am thoroughly satisfied with the purchase, Great price and certainly competes with brands selling close to twice as much.

Powerhouse in Small Package

I purchased this to use for emergency RV power. Tried less powerful models and they would not start the AC. This unit worked as long as I ran it on "regular" not ECO. on ECO it couldn't catch up to the demand fast enough. I have only used it once for an hour so I cannot yet attest to the durability - but it seems to be just what I need.

iGen2500 - seems to do everything it claims

I bought two of these to run in parallel to power RV A/C and microwave. I've run them through their 5 hour break-in, and then hooked them up to the RV. Pulled 3400 watts to run A/C & microwave. Everything seems to work as expected. Writing this review to get the free cover. ;)

Like the features

I mainly got this for camping and we gone camping this past weekend and and used it for the first time and it started with no problem and works great , small enough to lug around and all the power we needed. Also it's nice to have if our power goes out at home so it's a win win

Just what we needed

Bought this primarily for backup power during temporary power outages. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but assuming it functions as advertised it is just what we needed. Small and light enough for easy storage, quiet, and with enough capacity to keep our refrigerator and/or freezer cold plus operate our TV and computer to keep up with related news.

Nice Generator

After searching for a small generator and reading many reviews, I decided to purchase the Westinghouse iGen2500. It came well packaged and after adding oil and gas, it started on the second pull. The generator is very quiet and runs smoothly. It responds well to loads and is quite strong for its size. There are many good small generators on the market but the deciding factor for me was the Digital Data Center feature. It allows me to monitor the status of the generator at a glance and includes an hour meter. It is well designed and user friendly. Overall, I could not be any more satisfied with my iGen 2500.

Wait to try it in power outage

Just filled oil and gas up started soon after, took a few minutes of run time to be able to move the selector swirch off of choke and to the run position, had to run it for several more minutes between choke position and run to keep the generator running finally after that was able to put in run position. Hopefully after more run time it will start and run better in less warm up time.

Easy start, light weight

I have not used this generator yet for the purpose for which it was bought. But I have started a break-in process. In preparation for the purchase I did a little research on what others had done to break in a generator like this. They had suggested that after adding the oil that you slowly pull the start cord to turn over the engine to get the oil distributed a bit. Well I did that and I could not believe the generator started on the 3rd pull. I was only pulling enough to slowly turn the engine over. I was by no means giving it the typical pull to start a small engine. I was impressed.

Good value generator

This is my first generator, it is just the right capacity to keep us going during a power outage. It can be carried around and doesn't need wheels. I like all the features and ease of set-up. The owner's manual is very well written. I tried it out and couldn't believe how easy it started, first pull! Works good. I like that it can run for 10 hrs. on one gallon and has the load sensitive engine speed control. Also, the carburetor bowl drain is a nice feature.
