I bought this for occasional use with my camping trailer. Tried it out and it has plenty of power to run the camper A/C or microwave oven. Also will be used for emergency power when the electricity goes off in the winter. After filling the crankcase with oil and adding gasoline it started on the first pull, impressive!
I recently went camping with my RV and had two dead batteries because of my own stupidity upon arrival. I fired up my generator the next morning and just about woke up any living creature within 500 yards. I knew right then I needed an inverter generator. After doing my research i was all set and ready to buy a honda eu2200i. Then I saw a video about Westinghouse generators and was intrigued. The noise and weight of the 2500 was similar to the Honda but at nearly half the price. i bought the iGen2500 and guess what, the iGen2500 powers my 15000 BTU AC unit no problem. Now I have a light weight quiet generator that is a powerhouse. I am so glad I bought this and highly recommend it. Started with one pull straight out of the box too. Buy one and try it for yourself you will not be disappointed.
Started right up on first pull but issues after 5 hours

Worked great for the first couple uses, but now with only 5 hours on the unit, the Off selector is no longer working... currently working with the Warranty department and pending their response to the issue, will upgrade this review to 5 stars. Assuming they fix it or replace it, I am overall pleased. The 2500 was able to power my Travel Trailer AC at 9500ft without much effort!
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.
