I bought this during the winter storms but it didn't arrive until afterwards. However, we had a big storm this past weekend and lost power. This generator worked like a champion. A little louder than I was expecting, but I didn't really know what to expect as this is my first generator. I'm thinking about getting an identical one for even more power!

I just replaced my iGen2200 that I have been using for two years to power my Travel Trailer to include running my AC. Just wanted a little more output so I could run a few other things while using AC. Works great and is easy to start. Much better deal than a Honda i2000 at twice the price. Just as quiet. Highly recommend.

This igen2500 started on first pull ,runs quiet, and able to pair with igen2200 or my Igen4500, love the gauge’s, wish the 2200 had that, I’ve had it a couple of months and a cold front in Texas went by it cranked right up but didn’t have to use, for the price it is a great Value

Easily powered my 13500 BTU Dometic Air Conditioner after installing a MicroAir 364 easy-start circuit in the generator's normal mode. Although, the generator would not start the Air Conditioner in the Efficiency mode. The iGen2500 with the MicroAir is a less costly, more convenient, and much lighter solution than paralleling two 2000 watt inverter generators to run the Air Conditioner. The iGen2500 display indicates about 1600 to 1800 watts when the Air Conditioner is running. The generator's Efficiency Mode is relatively quiet at no load; although at full power, the noise is in the 70+ dbA range at 1 meter. The generator's engine has a small misfire or small backfire when running, but the small misfire/backfire does not seem to effect electrical power output. I use non-ethanol premium gas having a minimum 92 octane rating. Also, the generator runs my electric Stihl chainsaw even in the efficiency mode.

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.

I had an older Coleman 5500 which was overkill and way loud. I read good reviews and decided on this Westinghouse igen2500. It should work fine for a refrigerator and heater which is all we need. I just completed the break in period and it’s quiet, light, simple and even the size is convenient. I look forward to putting it to the test this coming winter.

I ran this iGen2500c for the recommended break in period. I must say this is the easiest generator I’ve ever started. Two pulls and it fired up. If runs pretty quietly and is easy to monitor with the digital display. It is well worth the price paid.

I was in the need of a small portable generator to provide power for my travel trailer while dry camping/boondocking. After quite a bit of research, I purchased the iGen2600, and I am very pleased! It arrived quickly and without any damage (it was packaged very well, by the way). I unpacked it, read the manual, filled it with gas and oil and then pulled the starter cord. It started right up without a hitch. I then took the time to break it in the old fashion way (run 1 hour w/no load - change the oil, run another hour w/no load - change the oil, run a final hour with a light load, and change the oil). It ran like a clock through the the break-in period. So, now, how does it work when I put a load on it? I hooked it up to my travel trailer and used it to power the 13,500BTU A/C as I thought that was the real test. It handled it with no problem i - even with the startup surge/compressor load (disclosure - I do have a 'softstarter' on the A/C) it only hit 50% output - otherwise it idled when just the A/C fan was blowing. So, with the iGen2600 I can run my travel trailer A/C and still have plenty of power left over for other lights and appliances. I don't yet know if it will handle the A/C and convection microwave at the same time but I suspect it might - will have to do calculation on the amps. The front panel indicators are also very handy - it is easy to tell how much fuel is left, how much run time is left at the current loading, what the power output is, as well as what percentage of the putput is being used. It also has an indicator if the oil level gets low - which is nice to know before there is a problem. It has just the right outlets for my purposes (2 120VAC outlets, a 12VDC outlet, and a couple of USB ports for charging gadgets (cellphones, tables, etc) - although I typically would use the outlets in the trailer for that. In terms of noise level, we found it to be on a par with the other portable 2000W gennies that our friends have - I am not sure if I can tell the difference in a handful of dB's anyway. It does get louder when it revs up to 50% load when the A/C compressor kicks in, but that is to be expected and is probably still in spec. The lightweight (< 50 lbs) is a nice feature as one person can move it around. It is also very efficient with a good 8-10 hours of run time on a tank of gas (a little over 1 gal) depending on the load. If we are only using it to charge or trailer batteries, one tank of gas will easily last several days - but running the A/C a lot will bring that down to a day or two. We fill the tank and carry an extra 1 gal can when on the road. So, all in all, the iGen2600 is ideal for dry camping/boondocking in a small travel trailer. The extra 600W of power over the competing 2000w gennies at an affordable price makes for an easy purchase decision.

Bought this last week and I love it. Simple design, easy to use and super quiet. Oil fill/check is a little cumbersome but no worries. This inverter is light, and it's an amazing buy. I love the digital readout and it's easy access features for all of my electrical needs.

After searching for a small generator and reading many reviews, I decided to purchase the Westinghouse iGen2500. It came well packaged and after adding oil and gas, it started on the second pull. The generator is very quiet and runs smoothly. It responds well to loads and is quite strong for its size. There are many good small generators on the market but the deciding factor for me was the Digital Data Center feature. It allows me to monitor the status of the generator at a glance and includes an hour meter. It is well designed and user friendly. Overall, I could not be any more satisfied with my iGen 2500.
