Yikes!

New in box. 9/19/2017 made 1st oil and fuel fill. Noticed residual of oil on stick before any fill. Is that normal? Attempted 1st startup same day, 9/19/2017. After several pulls, gasoline ran out of unit and all over driveway. Float bowl drain screw was open (per advice from online chat). Instructions do not ever mention to check the float bowl drain screw before startup. It is only opened to drain the gas. Closed screw, aired out generator with fans for several hours as well as cleaned driveway. Unfortunately, wife came out at this time and you can only imagine her concern. The entire back of the house smelled like gasoline. She was now calling the city recycling to see if they would promptly haul the generator away as I am at the same time trying to reach Westinghouse tech support. Next startup is now successful, however still makes some odd deep puff sounds during idling? Is this normal? Ran with no load for 30 minutes. Added about 330 watts for over an hour, then added and ran a small 5,000 btu a/c for over an hour. Slowly removed loads and let gen idle for 5-10 minutes. Still noticed deep puff sounds during the idling. Final step, turned gen dial to off, but unit would not turn off. Finally turned dial to choke and system sputtered off. I think I need a replacement and it must be guaranteed new. I have too much concern and suspicion about this unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Better than Honda out of the Box - Time will tell

Just received the IGEN 2500 - Started on 3rd Pull (first pull after warmed up) - The motor stared a little rough but quickly smoothed out after about 20 mins. I have 2 hours of run time so far - all gauges / indicators appear to work properly. All the indicators and USB Charging ports are great to have ! Big improvement over the competition. I loaded it with Lights, Air Mattress pump, Blender, and hair dryer - the generator did not miss a beat - it ramped up smoothly to meet the demand. The max capacity output only showed 50%. The 2200 Running Watts vs the Honda 1600 Running Watts is a big advantage. The no load noise level is higher than the Honda but under load, I would rate this generator very close to the Honda - (but it is a little louder than the Honda). Not to mention that the Westinghouse is half the price of Honda. If this Generator continues to run like this, and shows a similar lifetime as the Honda - it will set a new standard for camping generators - One thing I did not like was that the IGEN 2500 is marketed at < 3% THD like Honda - But the Spec Sheet shows < 5% THD - Westinghouse needs to fix the Generator or their Advertising Claim to match their Spec Sheet.
