We just received our generator! It started right up and is very quiet. The engine runs smooth and is easy to haul around.

Great Generator and Excellent Value
on August 29, 2020
Posted by: Doug335

Put in the oil and filled with gasoline and it started right up. The "load sensing" or "eco-mode" works great with the generator idling when power is not required but if your refrigerator for example turns on, the generator speeds up to meet the power demand. Haven't used it long enough to know about long-term durability, but it runs great, puts out good power, and seems well-designed. The only thing I wish it had that it doesn't is any hour meter, but I bought an "after-market" hour meter so I will know how many hours it's operated between oil changes. Very hard to justify buying another brand and paying more when this seems to work so well. Very happy with my purchase. I had a question and Westinghouse customer service was very responsive even in the middle of the China virus shut-down.

Great Features and Performance

I purchased the iGen 2600 to use for temporary power in case of a utility outage. I've had it for about month. It was packed well. Studied the manual which was clearly written and easy to follow with respect to setup, operation, and maintenance. It included exploded views with parts lists, schematics and specifications. I opened the maintenance cover to view the quality of both components and assembly. All looked good and component parts seemed to be robust. I then added oil and fuel following the startup procedure and then started the generator. Initially it ran a little rough which could have been debris from manufacture in the fuel system or possibly an air bubble in the fuel system. In diagnosing, I found that the spark plug gap was a bit off so I set it to the exact specification called out in the manual. I ran the unit over several hours throughout the month loading it to various levels and changing loads. This included various types of loads including multiple motors including a vacuum cleaner, sump pump, and electric lawn maintenance tools. I was impressed that even with multiple motors running I was able to start another without noticing any lugging. You couldn't tell the difference in the startup from when powered from primary power. The generator motor quickly would speed up in an effortless manner. I repeated these tests in varying combinations without issue. After running for a total of about 6 hours, I changed the oil to see if it appeared to have any debris from manufacture or otherwise. It seemed perfectly clean and uncontaminated. Considering my experience thus far, I would recommend this generator.

Check your gas drain petcock!
on August 28, 2020
Posted by: Havs
from SE WI
Filled oil, put in fresh gas, fired up for a 5 min test run. Noticed some gasoline leaking from the bottom, on the concrete. Turned off, let cool. When restarting, noticed gas leaking from under fuel bowl. Found the drain petcock was loose; tightened this, restarted/ran 10 min w/no additional gas leaks or issues. It runs very quiet, and should be easy to utilize on a moments notice. Digital display is nice feature. I am glad I did this before we had a major storm/power outage.
