Excellent Portable Power Inverter

I recently got a chance to use my new Westinghouse iGen 2500 Power Inverter when there was a planned power outage at my house for 14 hours. The unit was super simple to setup. I removed the two screws on the side panel, put the oil that came in a pre measured plastic bottle (.37 qt), filled the 1 gallon tank with 87 octane gasoline and fired the unit up. The unit ran the entire time and mainly powered my internet equipment, a fan and a small refrigerator. I hooked it up to a small extension cord and put it on my patio. Very quite for a small 4 stroke engine. Great product

Nice small generator

I bought this last year in case of power outage and finally had to pull it out. I just ran it for a couple hours and so far so good. Occasionally, the engine rev up for a while which is loud. Otherwise, it is fairly quiet. I like the fact that it's pretty fuel efficient. It is able to run the sump pump, refrigerator, 130w laptop, internet stuff (modem/firewall/access point) and few other accessories without issue. What I don't like is the fact that I had to pull a few time to start it.

Quiet, great value and features

I just received the generator and everything needed was included in the package, including oil. It fired up on the second pull and ran smoothly. After the initial startup, it fired up on the first pull every time even after cooling down. It is incredibly quiet, especially on eco mode. The digital readout is especially handy to see how much runtime is left at current power draw. This runs my slide-in camper with plenty of power to spare.

Excellent generator for the money

Purchased on 08/07/2021 and very satisfied with the product. Easy to follow instructions to get the generator ready for use. Runs quiet and easy to maneuver to different locations. One pull start-up. One recommendation I would make is to place the serial number on my model, iGen2500, in an easier to read location. Otherwise very satisfied.

Excellent quality right out of the box

I recently bought this generator and so far am very satisfied. The packaging was excellent and all the components were very clean and secured. It also came with a bottle of oil, an oil funnel, screwdriver and spark plug wrench which is very handy, and a nice touch to include. I ran it for several hours with no load to break it in and then changed the oil right away. I purchased a magnetic dipstick because all of these small generators don't have an oil filter. I was very pleased there was minimal metal flake and debris on the magnet after running. I was expecting more since it is common with small engines. It speaks to the level of care in the assembly process. After it was all broke in I used it to on my small fish house/camper to run several appliances. It is exactly as Advertised and I'm very happy with my decision to go with Westinghouse.

Very quiet and easy to move.

Added the oil per the instructions, added gasoline, and pulled the rope. Started right up and ran very quietly. I plugged in my electric power washer and spent about an hour on the generator. The electric power washer was much louder than the generator. I moved the generator behind my car and it was almost unnoticeable. I have a large generator that runs my house, but is hard to carry on trips (it is heavy). I got this one to carry in my truck for trips (we camp in the bed). Very easy to move and load into the truck.

Quiet and light weight

Just arrived today, I put the oil in which came with the compressor with a handy funnel. Then added gas put the unit on the choke setting and it started on the 2nd pull. I started the brake-in running a pancake compressor and a circular saw. Ran good for about 20 minutes then I stopped. Hope it continues to work good, time will tell.

Size does matter

Got ours just before Christmas 2021 and opened it up and broke it in the day after Christmas. I referred to both included instructions and YouTube breaking videos. I like the portable size and relative low sound of the iGen2500. We sized this carefully based on our most basic electric need in case of a power outage.

iGen2500 for BBQ Comps.

We purchased two iGen2500 to use for our BBQ Competitions and our other competitors will thanks us for a restful night, now that they do not have to listen to our old loud generator running all night long. With these two iGen2500s, we have more than enough power to run everything in our trailer.

Super Quiet

This Generator is amazingly quiet for the size and power it puts out - I used it to power my boat's ac system when my onboard generator went out and it not only supplied more than enough power for it but was super quiet while doing it to let me sleep peacefully
