Initial Impression- Great! Time will tell...

Ran it for a couple of hours and connected different items to it. Responded well. Some very slight surging in rpm's under a steady load. No big deal but will keep an eye on it. Display codes to identify what is being displayed do not all match manual, but you can figure it out easily enough. In my opinion, it would be much better to display the power draw in Watts rather than Kilowatts, but again, a minor thing. Tried shutting it down after running it for a couple of hours, then restarted. As I've seen in some other reviews, it did not restart as easily as a warmed-up engine should. Took a number of pulls and trying choke versus no choke. Maybe just have to figure out the right combination, but that issue could be annoying if I don't figure out the right combination. After allowing to cool down, restarted on the first pull. Being from the U.S., I would prefer the Fuel Level to be displayed in quarts or tenths of a gallon, but the visual fuel gage mostly makes that a non-issue (and it is a minor thing anyway). So overall, with my minor nitpicking, I still give it 5 stars as my initial reaction. How it holds up, hopefully over many years, will tell the final story. Also, the ultimate test will be a power failure when I see how it handles things. (I know it is not a whole-house generator. I mean using it appropriately, but under extended times of heavy load)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy setup and thoughtful design

So far very impressed with this generator. I bought it as a backup generator to keep my fridge running when the power goes out. Setup was easy. Added the included oil and my fuel and she is up and running. I'm doing the 5 hour break-in period letting it run with light loads but all is good so far. I noticed some very thoughtfully designed features such as the fuel bell drain hose. All in all, very impressed so far.

Nice Emergency Backup Generator!

This is the second Westinghouse iGen2500c Inverter Generator I purchased. This is a great portable sized generator at ~50 lbs and it performs very smoothly and relatively quietly, being an Inverter Generator. It continues to start on the first pull and the Digital Data Panel is top notch, conveniently showing the Gas level, Power level, Voltage level, Total Hours Run, and time left to run, with the Manual Push Button feature to select the data shown. I've generally used it for loads up to 1700 Watts and it performs flawlessly! I'm very pleased with this purchase!

Very happy

Recently purchased, ran through the break-in period and tested with camper loads. Performed great and was very quiet. Handled all of the minor loads, but need to restrict usage with heavier load items (i.e. A/c, microwave, etc.), which is to be expected for a unit this size. Much lighter, convenient and quieter than our 4000W unit. Only minor issues: 1) Plastic tabs on bottom of side cover allow it to vibrate, making noise and rubbing against enclosure. I plan to fix this with some narrow strips cut from an adhesive foam sheet (dept. store craft supplies). 2) Spark plug cover does not latch very tightly/positively, and seems to open slightly. Overall very happy so far. Next month will be the true test of why we bought it - boon-docking for a week with no hook-ups.

We recently bought an RV and while half our trips are at campgrounds with utilities we spend the other half dry camping and this generator has been great! Runs well, quiet and not too heavy in case I am not around and my wife needs to move it. Would definitely recommend to friends.
