Great Features

I bought this one week ago and have tested it under load up to 1,700 watts and it performed flawlessly. Start up was immediate, first pull. Operation was quite. All digital display panel functions worked nicely. Love the gas gauge. Included oil funnel and spark plug removal tool and screwdriver. Very easy to setup and run. Side cover is easy to remove to gain access to carburetor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing product, on for 8 hours with one gallon of fuel

Verified Purchase:No
I ordered this for my Dad in Puerto Rico who has been without power for a month. This unit was 54lbs in the original box and was easy to get on a plan. I poured in the oil, filled the gas tank and it started in two pulls. first pull on choke and second on run. Had enough power to run a 10K BTU AC, a fridge, a fan and some lights at 30% power usage which showed would give us 7.5 hour on the small fuel take. the energy mode is great and the displays are very helpful. This unit is very quite as I compared it to the 100's of other I've seen in the use during my week in the Hurricane ravaged island of Puerto Rico.

Strong gen, Light and quiet

Was looking for a light weight gen to run my 13,500 A/C on my RV. I decided to install a Micro-air soft start kit and try the Igen2500. The gen started on the first pull and after running on light loads for a few hours, I tried the A/C. The Igen started and runs the A/C easily with power to spare. I then tested the 15,000 BTU A/C (which had no start kit) and was surprised to find that it also would start and run with reserve power. I live at an elevation of about 200' so I am waiting to see what a couple thousand feet in elevation will do to this test, but so far, I am well pleased. The tests were all done with the gen running in ECON mode.

Major issues with my iGen2500
on September 10, 2020
Posted by: Motherlode Resident
from Nevada City, CA
I bought this unit in November 2019, but didn't immediately use it. I just went to use it yesterday (September 2020) for a PG&E PSPS and found out that the fuel cap doesn't fit??? I thought that it was odd that it didn't come attached to the unit, and now I know why. They must have known that there was a defect to begin with (likely with the fuel tank) but still shipped out the unit! The threads on the fuel tank are very rounded, whereas the threads on the fuel cap are very sharp and defined. I needed to use the generator to keep the refrigerator running, so I just set the cap on top so that nothing could get into the tank while the unit is running. During use, I also found out that the Power Output gauge does not work. So far, I'm extremely unhappy with the quality of this unit. I filed a case and will see how Westinghouse customer service handles this issue.

1st impression- nice

Our 1st portable generator/inverter. Started easily, power saver worked, compact, quiet as any other . will need to use it in real life applications and return for more or less stars.
*WARNING- Bait And Switch!
Bonus offer of a generator cover was withdrawn after purchase. Discovered this while registering the product on their website. An incentive to purchase that is withdrawn after purchase is extremely unethical. Bait And Switch! Actions like this will hurt Westinghouse's reputation.

I put in oil and fuel, pulled the handle a number of times, the generator started, ran for a while, powered an 1875-watt hair dryer, and now I submit this review in order to receive a cover which probably should have just been included with the generator. I have absolutely no other experience on which to base a review and thus the neutral star rating. I will leave a highly opinionated review if I do not now receive the cover.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

actually tested with a decibel meter I use for my sound system. At idle, approx 44 db, at full power, 51db. Can't comment on reliability yet as I just got it but it seems exremely well built. The digimeter on front is awesome as well.

Excellent generator unit for light RV'ing

Bought this Westinghouse 2500 unit August 2021. So have had time to check it out. It does all I need for RV'ing when electric power not available. Our 23 foot unit does not have large electrical requirements. Just TV and A/C really needed for 125 V and with the addition of an "easy start" A/C start up unit....I am happy.
Not to mention the added good feeling of being here in Florida with a little backup generator on hand !
It has been easy to start, controls & LED readout easy to use and see. Unit surprisingly quite.
Unit pretty easy to handle since it only weighs 48 pounds !
