I had zero problems starting this generator the first time. Startup instructions were simple and easy to follow. Generator took two pulls to start on second use. Overall, very pleased with this unit as of 2 uses.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lite Weight and Powerful Inverter Generator
on September 6, 2017

The Westinghouse iGEN2500 is equal or lighter weight than most of the 2000 Watts inverter generators that I researched but best of all it's peak output is 500 watts greater. Additionally, it is quiet as most with the exception of the Honda and Yamaha which are only slightly lower but are twice the price. Westinghouse's iGEN2500 with it's larger power is a perfect fit for my new Travel Trailer

Once started, ran well.

Will be using for tailgating, although we have Hurricane Irma bearing down on us now. Difficult starting now. Spark plug was screwed in very tight. Once I took it out and reinstalled, it started right up. Starts best when choke isn't fully engaged. Quieter than I expected.

Good first impression
on September 4, 2017

I was set to purchase a competitors product (the red one) and came across the iGen2500. The specs were better than the competition and the price about 1/2 with a good 3 year warranty. It was delivered within 2 days and arrived in good shape with no shipping issues. I followed the instructions for pre-startup (basically add oil), and on the 3rd pull it fired off. I let it run for about 1/2 hour and then shut it off. A week later I decided to test it out on my trailer. This time it started on the first pull (and has every other time since). I plugged the trailer in and started turning on lights, then the refrigerator and finally the AC (13,500 watts). I was running the iGen on economy mode and when I turned on the AC the generator immediately increased the revs to accommodate the load, without issue. So far this appears to be a well designed and built product. I really have no complaints. I did call Westinghouse support prior to purchase and got a very knowledgeable and pleasant rep on the phone after a very short wait. My questions were answered quickly. I was very pleased that customer service was so good and so quick - that bodes well for any future issues I may have. Time will tell with this generator, but I have a feeling that if I maintain it per the manual, I should be using it well past the 3 year warranty.

Great Tailgating Generator!

I purchased this for tailgating. I used it last weekend for the first time. It ran a 32" TV, Satellite box, Dish Tailgater and charged 2 cell phone with no problem. I am sure it could carry a much bigger load. It was also very quiet!

This is my 2nd igen2500 and still a 5 star review

I bought a second generator to run in parallel with the first generator and it runs every bit as well, it came shipped just as well, and I've had just 0 problems with it. I will say that when you run in parallel you must follow the instructions with the parallel cord exactly. If you do not do everything that the instructions say step by step it won't parallel to have equal output. Two of these will run my 13500 btu rv air conditioner, my microwave, my refrigerator and my bathroom fan all at once without tripping overloading.

Extremely pleased!!!

iGen2500...My first outing with this machine and I could not be more happy. Starts first pull every time. Very quiet machine. You don't even know it's running while in a small group of people outside tailgating. I ran two crockpots and a large margarita machine at the same time with no problem at all. I highly recommed this generator for camping/tailgating.

Started up on the first pull
on September 2, 2017

from Cypress Texas
The inverter started up on the first pull. The box arrived through the USPS in great condition (no damage). Once unpacked, I filled the crankcase with oil, turned the knob to the choke position and gave it a pull. It started on the first pull. The inverter ran great and was nice and quite. The build quality, the materials used and the fit and finish are great. At this point I am very happy with this purchase.
