It Did It!

My new IGen2500 has plenty of power to quietly run my Fifthwheels Soft Start equipped 15k btu a/c. It easily fits in the trucks short bed with no potential hitch interference. This genny is half the weight and size of my 3500 watt used previously. Great product.

Compact and Quiet

I purchased the iGen2500 to pair with an iGen2200 that I've had for about a year. The 2500 runs a bit louder than the 2200 but that's to be expected with the larger engine (98cc vs 79cc). Both are still pretty quiet. They paired up nicely with the parallel power cable. The digital info display on the 2500 is a nice feature but not a necessity. The generator arrived within a week of ordering with no damage or any other issues. Overall, I'm very satisfied with both purchases.

Quiet and nice features

This is our fourth generator purchase. Love all the information available in the display. Very quiet for the size and price. Great for camping. Nice power for the weight. (Read that as,either I or my wife can lift it with one hand.) Easy pull start. Nice to have the multiple outlets . I've already recommended it to friends.

Nice generator!!

We've had these generators for two summers now. We bought two so that we can run them in tandem with our fifth wheel and power the AC. So far they do a great job. They are quiet, efficient, and I like the gauges as they give readouts on the output and fuel levels so that I can see them from a distance.

Nice little Unit

We bought 2 of them a while back to use in our trailer in case of an emergency. We are seniors and wanted something that was easier to lift. We figured we get two smaller ones that are less weight and combine them to have enough power to run our 35' trailer. The noise level is pretty good, no complaints. I hope they last a long time.

Started up 1st Try and Solid Since

Bought this to run 2 fridges while power was out. It started up on the 1st try and handled them no problem. Even in ECO mode. I really liked the front display, so I could look out my window and read the amount of fuel left or how much power was being delivered.

Nice Emergency Backup Generator!

This is the second Westinghouse iGen2500c Inverter Generator I purchased. This is a great portable sized generator at ~50 lbs and it performs very smoothly and relatively quietly, being an Inverter Generator. It continues to start on the first pull and the Digital Data Panel is top notch, conveniently showing the Gas level, Power level, Voltage level, Total Hours Run, and time left to run, with the Manual Push Button feature to select the data shown. I've generally used it for loads up to 1700 Watts and it performs flawlessly! I'm very pleased with this purchase!

Easy to Use, Digital Panel Feature

Purchased this generator for lightweight backup use after much research. Knowing NOTHING about generators, mainly purchased this model for the digital panel that indicates fuel and output level so I had confidence with what I was working with. Good directions for easy set up, and overall 48lbs. is manageable. It's not that loud, but not super quiet (after all it's a motor) - very pleased with the purchase! Seems to run everything I need for short term use.

iGen2500 Perfect in every way!!!!!

Bought this extremely portable generator for an off grid cabin. Have been using 5500 watt "throw away" generators for 20 years. Can't imagine the fuel I've wasted feeding a machine running 3600 rpm its' entire life. This iGen 2500 is quiet, powerful, portable, and a magnificent display of the data you need. This is the perfect generator even comes with a 3 year warranty like one other expensive brand. If you need something a little more powerful, opt for the 3500 because Westinghouse is the only brand offering a free remote start fob.

Tremendous product for the price

I purchased the IGEN 2500 because I was GC of my own house build and needed power on the site until the power company brought in my power cable. This unit was amazing. It never failed to impress. I plan on buying another one so I can parallel them in the event of a power outage.
