Quiet, powerful, priced right

Great little generator for emergency purposes. Bought this to replace a very large generator that was way to much for our needs during an emergency. Who really needs to light up the whole house during a true emergency situation? I need something that is quiet, sips the gas and can easily be secured. This things fits the bill perfectly. Less expensive and more powerful than the Honda with a longer warranty. Seems like a no brainer. Great reviews everywhere you look.

Awesome!!!

I was quite sad when my Onan in the motorhome died. I shopped around extensively and, after comparing prices and reviews, I decided on the iGen2500. This is an awesome generator. It fires up my motorhome's AC with ease. It also works great with my house LG refrigerator. I trust the Westinghouse name as much as Honda (and definitely more than all of the off brands out there). Looking forward to many years of use, and even the next power outage.

Started on the Second pull!

Was so glad to finally get this 2,200 running watt generator to use with our 5th wheel.I had already installed a Micro Air Easy Start on our 13,500 BTU air conditioner so I would not have to deal with my 3,500 watt generator weighting in at 114 pounds in the back of our truck. As soon as it got here I read the instructions, filled the oil, filled the gas and it started right up (on the second pull). Let it warm up for a few minutes then plugged in the 5th wheel.Then went inside and turned on the air and let it run for a hour and half. The generator never missed a beat it just kept cranking out the watts! Looking forward to some great boon docking this summer. Thanks Westinghouse for a great product.

Light and quiet

This is my 2nd Westinghouse generator/inverter. On a rare occasion it would be nice to run 2 in parallel. This one is slightly bigger than the older one, but feels lighter to me. The display is what sold me on this one. It's very helpful to know how many hours you have on the engine for scheduled maintenance!

First impression is spectacular!

Out of the box, it is ready to go as soon as you add the necessary oil and gas. It started right up and within minutes, I had power to the camper. I went through all the utilities and appliances and it never overloaded. I went through all the camping scenarios and it was still all good. I am very excited to have this as a backup or when we are in the remote areas with no hookups. So far, this is a great product!

iGen2500Camo - Wow!

Albeit early, I already have an impressive story on this product. Out of the box, it's incredible easy to set up... add oil and gas and your done. The directions tell you to initially gentle pull the start cord until you feel resistance. I pulled once, then twice and then on the gentle third pull the darn thing started... quite as a church mouse. Very impressive. Now time will tell on the product longevity..

Great Generator For The Price

I bough this generator 2 weeks ago and have used it for a while so i can review it properly. I purchased it because of the features it has that are very helpful such as the display. It shows time it will run until empty based on load, how much fuel is in the fuel tank, how many watts are loaded on the generator, engine hours which is helpful for maintenance, and how many liters of fuel is left. Its pretty fuel efficient I just finished its break in today so far its running good. Now for the things I don't like. Its not as quiet as i was hoping for but its a small high revving engine up to 5000 rpm so to be expected. The plastic panel on the right side rattles quiet a bit adding to the noise which sometimes is louder then the generator itself. And last it always takes a lot of pulls to start it about 7 to 10 pulls cold even if it just ran the day before about 3 or 4 warm. I start it just like the manual says but still is hard to start cold and warm. But overall a decent generator if you can get over the hard starting sometimes.

Dependable

I've used this generator a handful of times now. I really like the features including the LCD display which shows the hours, fuel level, etc. The only problem I've run into is it didn't have enough surge watts to start my AC unit in my travel trailer. I had read reviews that said it would so that's a little disappointing. But besides that, it's been a good generator.

As advertised: easy start, quiet, highly recommend

Clear instructions, easy pull, started first time. Very quiet, looks great, easy to move. I have run it only a few hours to check it out, very pleased. One problem, however is the LED data center. I filled with gasoline, but it only showed 0.9 liters, and a little over 3 hours of run time left. I ran the time down to zero and it didn't affect the operation. Maybe a float is stuck and will eventually release. The fuel remaining stayed at 0.9L. I assume when I get to 0.9L, this value will begin to drop. I will still have a warning. Not a big enough problem for me to lose faith in this machine. Would highly recommend it
