Little - light and very powerful

Used for 1 month after Hurricane Maria struck Pueero Rico and I'm very happy with it. It powers one medium size fridge, 10 (5-15 watts) led bulbs, 1 (75watt) pedestal fan and I have a lot of power for other uses. Sometimes I used it with my clothes washer (econo mode off) and my espresso 1800 watt machine. I'm really happy. Gas consumption is around 9 to 12 hours depending on type usage.

It saved our lives

This generator came in time after experiencing almost two months without any electricity or water after hurricane Maria destroyed most of Puerto Rico. Not only has it been giving us some extra comfort with powering or essential house appliances like our fridge and fans, but it has been great on the gas economy and a low noise profile. Thanks again for such a great product.

Started First Pull

I purchased this generator because my old generator was not reliable and wanted to upgrade. After checking several reviews this Westinghouse looked like the best bang for the buck. So far so good as it started first pull and ran perfectly right out of the box. Highly recommend!

Wonderful warranty support

My iGen2500 was part of a recall program. Westinghouse stepped right up and within a month had a new unit shipped to me even before they got the original unit returned. Very impressive and responsive company. I would highly recommend Westinghouse generators!

Versatile

I contemplated getting one of the larger units by Yamaha or Honda, but those weight 100-150 lbs and don't provide as much power as two of these units in parallel, and these only weight about 50 lbs each. I use these to power a trailer with 13500 BTU A/C, but occasionally I can hook up to shore. When that happens, it's nice to only bring one of these to power some of my other accessories.

Check sparkplug

After reading other people's reviews about sparkplug problems, I pulled and checked the plug. The insulator of the plug had two large cracks in it. Replaced the plug and ran for four hours, no other problems. Waiting for a call from tech rep to discuss replacing the sparkplug.

iGen2500

Machine started right up like it should. I done the break-in run period with the generator and have ran it for a few hours so far and I works like it should. This generator will power up everything on my 20' camper with no problem. Just not everything at the same time but know that before I bought this product. Thanks Westinghouse.

Super quiet and runs smooth

Just received it yesterday and tried it out today. The thing runs great. Starts right up. Powered up my fridge which was my main reason wanting it. It only showed running at 25% capacity running it too. I just got it so can't really say much more yet. So far very pleased.

Just What We Were Looking For....

We live in Hurricane alley in Florida and decided this year we would be prepared. We wanted to have an inverter generator on hand to run chest freezer, fans, lamps and recharge electronic items. We wanted portable, light, reliable, and easy start. After extensive research we selected the iGen 2600. We liked the higher starting 2600 watts and the continuous 2200 watts should easily power what we need. So far it has been easy to maintain and starts with 1 pull!

Lighter than my Kawasaki 1400

My son bought two of these after much research. He uses them in tandem to power an arch-welder and all of his power tools in his 20 ft long trailer workshop; and he is quite satisfied. For me, I own a Lance camper and travel for a living, and sometimes I am away for months at a time. I needed a portable generator that would power everything in the camper, including my ham radio equipment, my laptop, and, especially, the air conditioning; though the air conditioning pretty much maxes it out, so I probably won't be able to run the ham radio at full power while running the air conditioning on high. This generator fills the bill. It is much quieter and lighter (about ten pounds lighter) than the old Kawasaki 1400, which couldn't handle the air conditioning, anyway. Three cheers for Westinghouse!
