Bad first impression
on December 12, 2020
Posted by: Scoutmaster Steve

I bought this item because of the numerous high reviews and the price. The engine access screws were not easy to come out and I chewed up the Phillips heads a bit. No big deal because I can replace those. I filled it with oil and new gas and proceeded with the start up sequence. After a dozen pulls it wouldn’t start. I then noticed a large growing pool of gas forming under the generator. I attempted to tighten the fuel drain screw and it wouldn’t turn. I was so mad I left the generator and didn’t look at it again for a week. When I finally got over it and resolved to figure it out I used a drill driver to break the fuel drain screw loose and then tightened it. I filled it with gas again and made several pulls but still wouldn’t start. I then made continuous pulls and didn’t allow the flywheel to stop and the generator finally started running. It was rough for the first 10 minutes but finally smoothed out. I hope it continues to work in the future when I need it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Value!

I researched several generators and decided on the iGen 2500 Westinghouse for its features and price. I am very happy with the purchase. The generator is very quiet and met my expectations based on the data and research I did. It also comes with oil and a funnel, so that is a nice bonus. I plan to use this for running my CPAP over night at the hunting shack, so I'm looking forward to seeing how long it will run on one tank. They advertised a free cover if you registered it after the purchase, but they said they are all out, so I was just a bit disappointed in that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Features

After using other energy generators, the iGen2500 is the best so far. The unit runs very efficient and provides the exact amount of power expected from a 2200/2500 watt generator.

Bought the iGEN2500 generator as a backup for our house as our area is prone to blackouts. And I have to say that I am happy with the purchase. Works perfectly for our intended use.
