Great features and very quiet

So far, I’m very impressed with the noise level and digital data center. It starts easy and I like the portability. The spark plug access cover seems a tad loose, but with use I expect it to snug right up. Overall, I’m very pleased and look forward to many years of use.

Quiet, portable, powerful

This was a great purchase. We have used it for the marching band when they travel to run all sorts of things such as lights, crock pots, fans. It is quiet enough that it doesn't disturb band warm-ups, small enough to tuck into the trailer, and powerful enough to run several things at once. Glad we did this.

Amazing Generator

This Westinghouse iGen2800 is a gem. It does accomplish all the needs that a house requires during power outages. The user friendly of how to operate and maintain is an additional superior feature. Its weight makes it so easy to maneuver and place outside the house. With 2800 peak watts its plenty for to power on a fridge, furnace, sump pump, tv, lights and internet modem router. It is versatile enough so you can take this in your journeys. Pure love on everything.

Great for power outages

Bought this as back up for when the power went out recently. After the break in period it did a great job powering my fridge, a small chest freezer, and sump pump, with a little bit of power generation to spare according to the convenient power output indicator. The digital data center is an awesome feature. Very happy with it, definitely recommend.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Did a lot of research and read several reviews before deciding on this generator. Wanted a backup power source for emergencies and outdoor activities. At first, thought I needed a brand H, but the only thing that it does better is cost you more. This iGen2500 is perfect for my needs. Easy to set up and use, and starts every time on first or second pull. The user manual is well written and easy to understand. I particularly like the size of the unit, and the great fuel consumption rate. Very satisfied with this purchase, and would highly recomend.

Better than expected

I bought this in 2021 after the great Texas Snowtastrophe. Finally got it up and running in literally less than 10 minutes. So far so good. It's quieter than I thought it would be. And I REALLY like the digital display with all the useful info. Wish it had a slightly larger fuel tank though. Hope this helps!

Clean Power!

I bought this so I can have clean power to operate electronic devices and also a food dehydrator. We have power outages that can last anywhere between 2 hours to a whole day. This should help us through those times. I used the quick start guide to prep the generator. After adding oil and gas, I pulled the cord. It started on the first pull. The sound is much quieter than a standard generator. I plugged in a portable heater to test everything. Everything worked just as it should. I definitely recommend this generator by what I've seen. I will see how it holds up.

I am really impressed with my purchase!

I purchased this model for the power output and size. I intend to use it for my travel trailer and as a backup for power outage after going through hurricane Irma 10 days no power. I can use this to keep refrigerator running 24 7 without running my big generator. As after a storm its hard to get fuel. Really quiet and smooth running.

easy to start

Bought this 3 weeks ago when North Ms. got 8 in. of snow. Unboxed . Put in the premeasured oil. Added gas and in 4 pulls was running and on line. I have not had a chance to run it in an emergency but it will run the blower on my wood stove, refrigerator and some lights. A microwave and the refrigerator may be a a time share thing but we shall see. Well pleased
