5 out of 5 stars review

Have owned for 9 months & LOVE it!

Purchased to use while Deer hunting in an off-the-grid hunting cabin. We use this to run 2 CPAP's at night, as well as a few cell phone chargers & some LED lights. It works great & one 1 gallon of gas will run about 10-12 hours! The only issue is you cant fill it past the red mark in the tank or it's not able to get air from the vented gas cap. If it stars to studder take off the gas cap or loosen it for a few minutes & you will be good to go.

Working great for our needs.

We bought the generator for power outages. Within nights after getting the generator our power went out. Ran the fridge, TV, wifi, fire place fan, a few lights, and changed the phones on the USB ports. Worked great. Pretty quite. We live in a neighborhood where the houses are pretty close together. The neighbors said they could not hear it from in side their house. That is important. Looking forward to taking it camping this summer.

Great investment

I bought this to replace a small standard generator to use for extended outages we have experienced in the past. This inverter iGen2500 is so quiet compared to the standard generator and much more fuel efficient. I have done a few test runs with this iGen2500 using an extension cord to the refrigerator, freezer, house furnace and few lights and it works great.

Powered through hurricane Helene

This generator is a great product! It started easily and ran flawlessly during the 9.5 days we were without power due to the hurricane. It powered our deep freezer, refrigerator, lighting throughout my home along with some comfort electronics such as the WiFi router ,microwave ,tv’s and fans. We even used it to power our washing machine after other items were powered off. The output never surpassed 50% with the above items drawing power from it. My intention is to buy another and link them together for additional capacity. If you are in need of backup emergency power I highly recommend getting this IGen2500.

Great product!!! Excelent.

I recently bought this igen2500 generator and I am really very satisfied with the generator since it meets what I currently need, which is the usb ports, it measures the level of gasoline, how long it has run, how much power in percent am I consuming, all of this in a digital panel and I can see all of that on that panel more clearly. I really don't regret buying it, and above all quite quiet for my area. I also got carried away by the other people who have had it and have very good feedback from many people. I recommend it for everyone.

Great Attention To Detail/Quality!

As expected, this generator is quite, and easy to start! It is the little things that I notice while setting it up, that are awesome! Things like, the little tool kit that comes with it, has every tool you need to service the generator. The cover that you remove to access the oil dipstick, has 2 Phillips screws. When you loosen those screws, they don't come out. They are made to stay in the door. Awesome because then I won't loose them! The funnel that comes with it, that you use to fill the oil, is threaded so it threads into the oil port. It is little attention to detail items like this, that makes the Westinghouse brand the superior brand!

Saved Thousands in saved Groceries

We were out of electricity due to a storm. We were able to save all of our food in both freezers and refrigerators. The generator only used 1 gallon of gas and that was very impressive with the gas prices as they are now. One of our best purchases we have ever made!

Nice Unit

Bought it to replace a conventional generator for camping - half the size / half the weight. Just tried it this morning. Seems to be as advertised. Looking to using it on a long trip upcoming, as well as, several one-weekers later this year. Not as quiet as I had hoped - however, my test spot is an echo chamber.

Westinghouse 2500 watt generator

This is actually a positive review. But I have a warning too. My unit arrived with the float bowl drain wide open and I didn't see that. At least not until I had about a cup of fuel in the bottom of the shroud. Suggest checking that before starting. Otherwise simple storage for the tools would be a nice touch. Everything else worked per plan.

Could be better

The generator itself seems OK. Starts up in two pulls. However several things need improvement. The side panel to pour the oil is secured by two screws and a rubber grommet held panel. The screws don't thread out well and i had to use a flat screwdriver to pry the panel out. It would be nice if they created a pocket in the plastic case to store the tools provided (Screw driver and spark plug removal socket) While those are appreciated, they are also easy to misplaced on units that get moved around a lot like ours is. It is also quite a bit noisier than the Honda 2000i it replaced but the priced right.
