Started first pull

This is the second unit. The first unit started on the second or third pull but would only run for 5 seconds then die. I called customer service and they said someone would call me back. I didn't receive the call so the next day I called again. This time I had registered the unit and they gave me a case number. Be sure to register your generator before you call customer service! The person I spoke with asked what elevation I lived at. We are at 4,577 in Utah. He said it was probably the altitude and said they were going to have a high altitude kit available in 3 or 4 weeks. That would not do me much good since our camping trip was in 2 weeks. He wanted to listen to the unit run since I was at work I couldn't do that. I had to call back the next day and get to the same person. I started the unit and it ran for five seconds and died. Finally after starting it twice more and objecting to the altitude excuse, he finally gave an authorization to return the defective unit and sent a new generator. I received The new unit today! I went through the set up again and this time the new unit started on the first pull. It has run for about an hour with no load. Tomorrow I will run it with a light load and see what happens. I'm keeping my fingers crossed based on all the reviews. I read one review that stated how many service centers Westinghouse has. I found out they do not have a service center near my location and I'm less than fifty miles from Salt Lake City. At this point I would recommend this to a friend based on the fact that it may take a couple of tries to get one that will actually run. I know I will loose watt's when I run at a higher altitude but I still expect it start and run not shut down. I will know in a couple of weeks if it has a problem running at 7,000 - 7,500 feet of elevation. If it does I'll update this review

I was looking for a option to the Honda generator for lightweight, portable and quiet power in case of emergency. After reading the reviews I chose the Westinghouse iGen 2500. While I haven't used it a lot, I am very happy so far with everything.

Great Small in Size but Huge in Output Generator

We needed a single easy to carry generator that could start our A/C on our RV. This guy can do it. At 2500 watts and 18.3 amps, you can get that A/C started in combination with an Easy Start on your A/C. It starts easy, maintenance is a breeze, even has two USB ports. We love the display which gives us all the information we need to ensure we are operating smoothly.

Great machine, but not sure about support

I purchased this iGen2500 to be used as a second generator in a parallel configuration. Setup was a breeze, and the inclusion of the oil and funnel was a nice touch. Started up on the first pull and runs quietly and smoothly. My only issue is initially the fuel gauge, which displays as a colored bar and as a digital quantity, was stuck at 0.9L, despite how much fuel was in it. So I called customer support, described the problem, and was told a Technician would get back to me. After 9 days, I have not yet heard anything back from them! Knowing that most fuel gauges work using a float, just today I decided to try jarring the float by dropping the generator about 4 inches. That fixed the problem, so all's well unless it never goes back down? But the fact I never received a call back concerns me... we'll see! Otherwise, great generator at a good price!
