Easy to use

Just opened the box. My husband did all the recommended actions to operate the generator ( adding oil, adding gas, checking spark plug). This little machine started right away WITHOUT using the choke. We let it run for a good while without any issues. The eco mode makes it a bit quieter. It hasn't been used for the main reason i bought it: run a well water pump ( 1.5HP) in case of power outage. It is in another location. so i will update this review. But so far i like it: easy to start, not too heavy for me to carry. The pictures in the manual are very well done and easy to understand. Instructions easy to follow.

iGen2500

Going to use this with our Fifth wheel. It started and ran for 5 seconds. then died. Started and ran for 5 more seconds and died. Did this several times. Now I have a call into Westinghouse service to see what the next step is. I guess I'll have to update this review after I get a unit that runs. Based on the reviews it looks like a good unit but we will have to see what happens next.

Lightweight and average sound

I bought this a month ago to use for my camper. It provides really good power and is able to run my camper while also running my air conditioner! I took off 1 start because while it states that it is quieter than the HF equivalent, it didn't seem quieter at all. Would be interested in using it in parallel and was happy to see they included parallel cable.

Comes through in the clutch

I used a one of these, that belonged to a friend, after a storm causing a power outage. This generator ran for over 7 hours without refueling. Never did it seem to bog down when we plugged stuff in. It did not even hiccup with 3 refrigerators and freezers plugged into it. We added lights kept on purring. It was so quiet and and 1 pull starting. Love it so much I went and bought one for a insurance policy that I will never need one again, but if I do I know I have one that will do the job!

Great generator for the price

I already own a 4500watt Westinghouse generator and have had good luck with it. It arrived in good shape and was easy to set up. My only issue was I could not start it on propane after many attempts. I wanted to use just propane and not gasoline. I ended up starting it on gas then switching to propane and everything was fine. Runs very quietly.

Runs my 9.5k A/C on eco mode!

I couldn't find a review stating the generator's performance with a rv a/c so I took a chance with this little generator and I'm thrilled it worked and started the a/c compressor even on eco mode. I do have a Houghton 9.5 k roof air, so it draws less amps than the standard 13.5k or 15k. I'm also at 5000 ft in elevation!

Easy power out of the box!

Right out of the box, read the quick start guide, add oil and go! Directions are well written and clear. Started 2nd pull. Ran a fan, then a power saw then both just to test. Lightweight, easy to handle. Heading North with it to continue our cabin build. Glad I bought it.

Easy to start

The generator was received in a well packaged box and the generator inner box was new. After adding oil and gas and checking the plug, the unit started right up on the third pull. It is quiet and very quiet in the eco mode. I believe it will serve us well at deer camp this year.

Immediate failure to operate

Hard to start at first then immediately went to an over speed situation and indicator showed over load situation. Unable to contact service on 7/3 and when contacted them 7/5 there was NO sense of helping a traveling customer get a replacement shipped soon enough to catch up with us.

Just what I needed....

We were without power for a week owing to Hurricane Helene. This is just what I needed then to run 15W appliances and charge my solar generator. Borrowed someone else's 5000 W generator, but it was very loud and heavy. This one has plenty of capacity for my usage as a backup and is much quieter and easier to move around. I particularly like the dual fuel capability and 30 amp outlet for my travel trailer.
