I purchased the iGen 2600 to use for temporary power in case of a utility outage. I've had it for about month. It was packed well. Studied the manual which was clearly written and easy to follow with respect to setup, operation, and maintenance. It included exploded views with parts lists, schematics and specifications. I opened the maintenance cover to view the quality of both components and assembly. All looked good and component parts seemed to be robust. I then added oil and fuel following the startup procedure and then started the generator. Initially it ran a little rough which could have been debris from manufacture in the fuel system or possibly an air bubble in the fuel system. In diagnosing, I found that the spark plug gap was a bit off so I set it to the exact specification called out in the manual. I ran the unit over several hours throughout the month loading it to various levels and changing loads. This included various types of loads including multiple motors including a vacuum cleaner, sump pump, and electric lawn maintenance tools. I was impressed that even with multiple motors running I was able to start another without noticing any lugging. You couldn't tell the difference in the startup from when powered from primary power. The generator motor quickly would speed up in an effortless manner. I repeated these tests in varying combinations without issue. After running for a total of about 6 hours, I changed the oil to see if it appeared to have any debris from manufacture or otherwise. It seemed perfectly clean and uncontaminated. Considering my experience thus far, I would recommend this generator.

Very reliable. I keep up with the maintenance, follow the instructions and works perfectly as advertised. I connect a refrigerator, fan, lights and a tv with no problems, and is quite; the efficiency button reduces the noise level even more. This is the fourth generator I have bought from westinghouse. This generator meet all my requirements of price, noise, weight, fuel consumption and portability.

Im still breaking it in, but started first pull,I plugged in a 5k air conditioner a box fan and ran a shop vac and was at 50% power. after a while of running motor was misfiring under no load a little but soon as I put a load on it it was smooth. Dont know why maybe spark plug or just needs to finish breaking in. will be using for back up power and misc, bought this unit because of reviews and ability to run 15k air conditioner,so far im very impressed.

I bought this for backup on frig, furnace fan, and lights, this will keep everything up and running until power is back on. At one time I had two units connected together and when we out of power for a week, I just switched from one unit to the next. This unit as the others is a gas saver.

Bought this approximately 30 seconds before our power came back on, but decided to keep it for any future outages and possibly for use with a small camper. Some friends had no power longer and used it to power a water pump for them. Fired up on the first pull! With the dipstick being mostly horizontal it's a little hard to tell how much is in there, but the nice (and included!) funnel made filling it up pretty painless!

Have not had a chance to use this item yet, but everything looks in order. Only problem is trying to register the product. There is nothing anywhere that shows a serial #. Ended up calling and they said to use the bar code listed. Why did they ask for a serial #, when they meant a bar code?

This is just perfect for our camper. We can use the microwave and safely charge our smartphones and laptops. Quiet was a big influence with which generator to buy. This was quieter than many of the other leading brands and it supports the wattage it claims without hassle. Not heavy to carry around either. Less than 50 pounds!

Unit appears sturdy and startup is easy. Don't know if run-time will suit my needs since I'll use it for hunt camp heater and it's spring right now but it is smooth running and quiet. It also has some nice features and sells for an excellent price point.

I recently purchased this generator because of the fact that it will run on propane. It was easy to set up and get running. I like the features it has and that it can charge my phones and things using USB ports and not the 120v outlet. It was easy to start using propane. I have recommended this generator to a couple of friends.

Arrived 3 weeks late but I guess that can be expected because of the hurricanes this year causing high demand. Added oil and non-ethanol gas, choked and it started first pull! I have had a Honda 2000 for over 13 years that still runs great but needed more power for AC on my RV. It runs as quiet as my Honda but time will tell about the reliability of the unit. First impression is I am very happy with this purchase.
