Fantastic, Affordable, Quiet

I am very please and impressed with this little generator. It is much quieter than traditional non inverter generators, is very affordable, and is packed full of features with the digital display system. Eco mode is perfect saves fuel, and helps reduce noise level. Overall this is a fantastic unit that I would recommend to others to purchase.

Great value!

Just received the 2200/2500 and I’m especially happy with all the parameters it monitors and provides indication for. The noise level was a bit higher than expected with the efficiency mode turned off. When the switch in turned on the noise level drops to a much more tolerable level. Overall can’t wait to put in in service at the campsite.

Wow - small and quiet!

I was shocked when I started up the iGen2500. It started on the first pull and is very quiet. We have a 2500 watt Cummins mounted on our camper van, and the iGen is much quieter. We tested it by plugging the van into it and turning on the 13500btu AC unit in the van. You could hear the load it placed on the iGen, but it didn't skip a beat. The volume amped up a bit, but sitting next to our camper van, it's much quieter than the built in Cummins unit. My wife is smitten with it and wants us to bring it with us as a back-up for our camper van. It has a very nice digital display on it, and the build quality is very nice as well. Other than being a bit on the heavy side, we are very impressed!

Great features Great price

i like the LED digital display feature that gives fuel level, remaining runtime, voltage and power output. Runs quiet. After the initial filling of gas and oil, subsequent starts were easy. Great product to bring with my camper and for emergency home use. Got an excellent price from major discount store

Fantastic machine

I bought this generator, for forest camping, I do not do hookups. I am very impressed what this generator can handle, ac and fridge plus charging my batteries. The machine is so easy to start, and the panel is easy to read. I like the instruction manual and also the service chart.

Works Great

I bought this inverter generator a week ago for power backup. It was selected for its power rate (2200W continuous), quiet operation and light weight, and with Westinghouse's good bland name. Today, I did the first trial run and was very happy with the result. After doing the steps per Operation Manual, the engine started after 4 pulls. Let it run for a few minutes and then connected it to some loads. It ran quietly even at full load. I switched on the Efficiency Mode and could tell the engine rpm changing with the load which was also shown on LED Display. I am confident the generator will help us to do necessary things when power outage happens.

Igen2500

Very happy with this generator. I have 8hrs on it as of now. During the 5hr brake in this machine preformed grate. I used two 1500w electric heaters verging the load from 25%to50%then no load at all. It ran grate and got more power as it got closer to 5hrs after that i could run one heater at 1500w and the other at 700w with 75%load. Today I plugged it into my house and ran my boiler garage furnace two fridges and my sump pump with no problem. So far i love it.

Outta here he box

Just pulled it out of the box and my first impression is very positive. The fit and finish is great. The attention to detail (tools and oil included) is noteworthy. The directions seem very well explained - for this non-mechanic. I’m a little intimidated by the frequency and scope of maintenance but I’m sure that would be the case with any generator. All in all an impressive start!

great value!

Got mine about a month ago, broke it in, love the gauges for gas and power, wish 2200 had that, it pairs with my 4500df or you can easily take it camping, cranked on first start, right now everything is great! Sam’s delivered in 3 days! And love the price!

Quiet (low dB) and low fuel consumption

The iGen2500 is quiet (low dB) and has low fuel consumption. I used less than 1 gallon of fuel for the break-in period (over 5 1/2 hours run time) at about 1/2 power of the generator (cycled between 1000 and 560 watts, but mostly about 1000 watts). This generator had plenty of surge capacity to be able to power a sump pump or refrigerator/freezer. Ideal size (easily portable) backup generator for when the power goes out.
