Major issues with my iGen2500
on September 10, 2020
Posted by: Motherlode Resident
from Nevada City, CA
I bought this unit in November 2019, but didn't immediately use it. I just went to use it yesterday (September 2020) for a PG&E PSPS and found out that the fuel cap doesn't fit??? I thought that it was odd that it didn't come attached to the unit, and now I know why. They must have known that there was a defect to begin with (likely with the fuel tank) but still shipped out the unit! The threads on the fuel tank are very rounded, whereas the threads on the fuel cap are very sharp and defined. I needed to use the generator to keep the refrigerator running, so I just set the cap on top so that nothing could get into the tank while the unit is running. During use, I also found out that the Power Output gauge does not work. So far, I'm extremely unhappy with the quality of this unit. I filed a case and will see how Westinghouse customer service handles this issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works as advertised, paralleled two of them together and had plenty of power to run everything in my camper (30 amps). Very satisfied.

This iGen 2500 arrived in good shape. It is easy to identify the working components of this generator.

Intuitive control panel - easy set up
on September 2, 2020
Posted by: JimmyJames
from San Jose, CA
Bought this device primarily due to rolling brown outs in our area as well as longer outages caused by fires in Northern California. The initial set and testing of this device went smoothly. It's slightly louder than we expected, but assume it's still operating within spec. Overall we're really glad to have it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just received IGen 2500. Starting the break in process. Everything is good so far with good power that matches the specs. Not as quiet as my Honda EU2000i
but close.
