Powerful yet efficient

I have been looking for an inverter generator for a while. It's hard to find one like IGen2500, powerful yet efficient. I can run quite a few appliances with 1 gal gas tank for hours. In addition, once done with break in, it runs smoothly. A great product!

Major issues with my iGen2500

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.

Quiet and great quality!

This is just perfect for our camper. We can use the microwave and safely charge our smartphones and laptops. Quiet was a big influence with which generator to buy. This was quieter than many of the other leading brands and it supports the wattage it claims without hassle. Not heavy to carry around either. Less than 50 pounds!

Great power

This is the second one of these I've purchased. I bought the first one for my camp. I chose it because it had the highest output in the price range. The others had an output 1800/2200 vs 2200/2500v. It ran beside a relatives Honda 1800/2200. It was just as quiet with more power. Theirs was 2 1/2 times the cost. I was impressed enough to buy a second unit to keep at the house for emergency use.

iGen2500 is great to backup your Fridge + some appliances

I bought two of these generators recently (one for me and one for my Mother In-law and just tried one of them out in my garage. They are very, very quiet and seem to power up my appliances pretty good with no outages. I believe they will easily provide back-up power to a refrigerator and some appliances such as a television, fish tank pump, and such. They are only 2200 Watts steady power so you shouldn't expect them to power up much more than what I stated above.

Great Product

My wife bought this as a gift for me. After reading owner's manual & online reviews of this product, I couldn't wait to test this unit out. I'm build a deck on my house, so I figured this would be an opportunity to test unit out. This generator performance is OUTSTANDING! I was able power multiple construction tools, keep my cell phone & bluetooth speaker continuously charged, yet, provide necessary power to my miter saw & skilz saw, along with keeping my cordless battery charged for my cordless impact/drill.

Best of both worlds, compact, light weight, yet powerful!

After researching inverter generators for our camper the Westinghouse stood out as the leader of the pack. It is very compact which makes it easy to pack for our camping trips. It is light enough at 48lbs for my wife to be able to pick up and move it around. Most importantly it is powerful enough to start and run our 10.5 btu air conditioner in our pop up camper.

Great value!

The rated power for the igen2500, combined with the efficiency and noise level is something I've been after in a generator for a while. After looking in stores and then finding this model online, it was a no brainer. Same features and more power than those at twice the price. Glad to have this for power outages, running tools, and using camping.

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!

Extremely Quiet

This thing is incredibly quiet. Just as quiet as the red brand. I use this for boondocking camping. Only thing I can't run on my RV is the AC and the Microwave. But once I talk the wife into letting me get a second unit with the parallel kit, we'll be good there too!
