Purchased because it is cheaper and more powerful than the Honda. Runs 2000w loads fine. A lot cheaper than Honda or Yamaha. Seems very good quality for one that's half the price. Hopefully it will last like the Honda.
iGen2500, added oil and gas and started first pull!

Very quiet in eco mode. More powerful than most the same size which was the winning factor for me. The digital fuel gauge and load meter and usb ports were all nice bonuses.
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.
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
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.
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!
