Review Posted 09/11/2023
Arrived from factory with broken spark plug lead. I am sure this is a one off. It is currently at a warranty station probably awaiting parts. No word how long this will take . . . already one week . . .

Review Posted 10/15/2022
I was dry camping and my RV battery went dead. I could not sleep because my cpap machine needed 12V. I set the gen up and it took 2 pulls to start. I slept comfortably till gas ran out.. I walked a little distance away and felt it would not disturb anyone. It was very quiet. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. free cover no got.

Review Posted 05/04/2022
After filling with oil and gas it took 20+pulls to start. It ran good after it started and would restart when warm. Won't start cold. Took forever for customer service to answer my call. Started a case # and was told they would send me a E-Mail from tech support which I have yet to receive. Would like to hear from somebody!

Review Posted 10/05/2021
I received the generator with no issues, put oil in it added fuel and it started up with first pull, it ran for about 30 seconds and then started to sputter and die out and shut down, after around 15 minutes I started again and it ran fine. I decided to take to the cabin for the week it ran fine for about eight hours and did the same thing except I couldn’t start again, brought it home and it started up just fine, support has been less than spectacular, I don’t have confidence in this, this is my second Westinghouse I have an oven 4500 and have not had any issues.

More Power In The Same Size And Weight Of Lesser Powered Units.
By Tony C.

Review Posted 09/12/2021
You get more rated power then units the same size and weight. I would buy a second one when needed. I wasn't happy with the cover I got for reviewing this model at Westinghouse's website. Yes its a cover but cheaply made. I even purchased and returned a nicer one I found on another website only to find out that most of the stitching fell apart. So hopefully the issues I had with bad covers will be fixed in the near future other then that I'm happy with my Igen2500.

Having Problems With New Igen2500
By Doug F.
Traverse City, Michigan
Purchased 07/26/2021 |
Review Posted 08/17/2021
I bought two of these to replace my Hondas. Right out of the box one gas cap would not go on (eventually got it to go) on the other the digital readout would not work. I went on Westinghouse website and saw a technical advisory on the digital readout and was able to fix it myself (I do have cases started for both with Westinghouse but have not heard back from them for 2-3 weeks) I had both generators inspected by an RV tech and both show ground fault defects that I don't know how to fix. Still waiting on Westinghouse customer service. I'm afraid to use these with the ground fault defect.

IGen2500 Review
By Larry L.
RENTON, Washington
Purchased 09/20/2019 |
Review Posted 01/22/2020
I bought the iGen2500 thinking it would have a little more wattage output than my Honda 2000 and I like all the readings on the digital gauge. So for a test I plugged our trailer in to each generator. In the trailer I plugged in 4 electric air dryers , electric heater, AC fan only, and the trailer convertor still active. It added up to 2350 watts which is more than either generator should be able to maintain. I also had an inline watt meter so I could compare wattage along with the meter on the iGen2500. The iGen2500 would shut down after about 15 seconds, which is 150 watt over what is said to be max maintain watts. The Honda 2000 would not shut down. I would admit it doesn't make scents why the Honda 2000 didn't shut down also but I did each one 4 times to test over and over.
