Good first impression
on September 4, 2017
Posted by: Nordst
from Seattle, WA
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Started up on the first pull

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.

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.

Compact Quiet Generator
on September 1, 2017

from Georgetown, Tx
Compact, well made unit that came with all the accessories I needed. Included were 10W30 oil for unit, funnel, spark plug wrench, and complete instructions. Nice to have little extras, like a hose on the float bowl to drain gas and keep it off unit. VERY well packed for shipping. Runs very quiet and has ECONOMY setting to minimize gas use while operating. I would recommend this unit.

Great product at an awesome price. It runs well and is lightweight with low noise level. I would have given it a 5 but when I called customer service I received a voice message to tell me they were out of the office.[[ASIN:B01MTGJGCN Westinghouse iGen2500 Portable Inverter Generator - 2200 Rated Watts & 2500 Peak Watts - Gas Powered
