Followed instructions to set it up, and it started on the first pull. Quiet! Stable output. It's great on the first day. And from a comment elsewhere, I did check the float bowl screw to be sure it was closed before first startup (it was). Other reviews are very positive, price is competitive. Remaining is only to judge it's performance over time, which is positive in other reviews.

Second pull out of the box

Unpacking it took longer than filling with oil and gasoline and starting. It fired up on the second pull. I bought it for a variety of power tools but mainly to power the 13,500 BTU AC on my Oliver Elite travel trailer. I'd already installed a Micro-Air EasyStart soft start unit on the AC with plans to buy one of those red generators or the other blue one, which produce less power, cost more and have fewer features than the Westinghouse. The EasyStart was needed for those less-powerful units. But then I learned about the iGen2500 on the Micro-Air website. Micro-Air says the iGen25000 will power ACs up to 15,000 BTU with the EasyStart. So maybe it will run my 13,500 in the Efficiency Mode. My trailer is stored elsewhere so I haven't tried it yet. But so far so good. The iGen2500 looks like a well-made generator. I really like the LCD display. I just wish it showed total run hours to help with maintenance.

Has the power & all other options of Honda inverter, but much lower price. Good 3yr warranty. Easy to understand instructions. Best of all this generator is under 50Lbs and thus light enough for me to pick up by myself and put in trunk of a small car.

So far great product, started on the first pull out of the box and runs very quietly. Only challenge so far is that the only way to check the oil is by removing the side cover. Other than that, very pleased.

Started first pull

This is the second unit. The first unit started on the second or third pull but would only run for 5 seconds then die. I called customer service and they said someone would call me back. I didn't receive the call so the next day I called again. This time I had registered the unit and they gave me a case number. Be sure to register your generator before you call customer service! The person I spoke with asked what elevation I lived at. We are at 4,577 in Utah. He said it was probably the altitude and said they were going to have a high altitude kit available in 3 or 4 weeks. That would not do me much good since our camping trip was in 2 weeks. He wanted to listen to the unit run since I was at work I couldn't do that. I had to call back the next day and get to the same person. I started the unit and it ran for five seconds and died. Finally after starting it twice more and objecting to the altitude excuse, he finally gave an authorization to return the defective unit and sent a new generator. I received The new unit today! I went through the set up again and this time the new unit started on the first pull. It has run for about an hour with no load. Tomorrow I will run it with a light load and see what happens. I'm keeping my fingers crossed based on all the reviews. I read one review that stated how many service centers Westinghouse has. I found out they do not have a service center near my location and I'm less than fifty miles from Salt Lake City. At this point I would recommend this to a friend based on the fact that it may take a couple of tries to get one that will actually run. I know I will loose watt's when I run at a higher altitude but I still expect it start and run not shut down. I will know in a couple of weeks if it has a problem running at 7,000 - 7,500 feet of elevation. If it does I'll update this review

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.
