Great product and quite a surprise for me!

In Ct. we have extreme weather events at times....severe snowstorms, thunderstorms and then there are times the power goes out for other non-weather related situations...this happened on 2 occasions this past winter. My wife with the help of our son researched what a good generator would be for our situation and they read reviews on line and purchased the iGen 2500. Thankfully we got by without any outages the rest of March because I got my "gift" of the iGen 2500 for my birthday in April. What a great surprise and can't wait to put it to the test .....although we did try it out and it works great! Check out the other great reviews online. Highly recommend this product!

Amazing generator very capable.

I just bought this generator and I needed it for an emergency trip up to the mountains without this. I would've been lost. This was so simple to use. I was able literally to pull it out of the box. Add the oil add some fuel and on the first pull, it started I had no weird issues with it at all. It was able to power at least half the items I needed at one time I do not regret buying this. The best features that I can do parallel electrical support with it. It came with all the tools I needed and so far I have had no issues used to be a Yamaha and Honda guy, but I am now Westing house guy! I would absolutely recommend this purchase For anyone who is on the fence.

Worked a couple times

We had this generator for just over a month now. We used it a couple times to power a few things (Tv, DVD player and a led light) at camp a couple weekends. I was hoping this would be a great upgrade for our older Kawasaki, my uncle has a much bigger Westinghouse at his camp that has not let him down. To our disappointment, the generator started having problems like starting when it wants and when it does start, it runs for 15-20 minutes and shuts down all of a sudden. I'm going to start the process of getting in touch with the company in hopes they can help get something figured out.

Good generator, had problems the second year used

Ran great the first summer it was used however the first use the second year it won't run smoothly. RPM's go up and down. At the end of the first summer the gas was completely drained before storing for the winter. Drained gas again after problem was discovered and filled with new gas-no change Plan on taking it in for a service check to see what the problem is.

Great Buy

This generator has been great. Came with everything needed in the box, the directions were clear and it started right up. I originally purchased this generator for my cabin but after realizing how much electricity I need vs what I thought - I now plan on using this to power my home necessities during a power outage.

Defective Engine Fuel Control on 2+ units!

My replacement unit that Westinghouse sent me has the exact same problem as the original unit I bought... The "Fuel Off-Engine ON" position on the Engine/Fuel control knob does not shut off the flow of fuel to the carburetor--- it is supposed to stop the flow of fuel but let the engine continue running so that it will run the fuel out of the carburetor for storage... But it only shuts off the flow of fuel when in the "Engine OFF" position. I don't know if the wrong parts are being installed on the assembly line or what... but two generators in a row (and I would assume a majority of them at this point...) with the exact same problem and assembly dates 5 months apart... and that's not right, it seems there is a definite defect with these units. The generator is very quiet at low power outputs, but if you load it up to the rated power output, that little 80cc engine has to work hard, and it does make some noise at full output. This could be a 4.5 star genny if the controls worked properly... but 2 units with the exact same problem... knocks it down to 2 stars. However, Westinghouse Customer service was good and shipped me the replacement unit with no hassle, so maybe it should be 3 stars... I would definitely recommend if they can get the Engine/Fuel control thing fixed...

Great quiet generator

I bought this generator to use with our small camper when Boondock camping and it works fantastic. We did not want to carry another fuel such as gasoline so having it run off of our propane tank is great. It's just enough power to run our air conditioner and microwave.Two thumbs up!
