Super Quiet & Efficient!

I bought this product a little over 2 months ago, have about 35 hours on it. Its a great unit, really quiet, and super efficient. The only 2 reasons I didn't give it 5 stars is because: 1) Even when on solid flat surface, the display screen has a minor shake to it. 2) The 120v rubber plug cover could be a little better sealed. The other plug covers are great, they fit nice and tight, but the one people probably use the most has the weakest seal. Either way, would definitely recommend!

Has the power to do what you need where you need it!

I bought this inverter to power my camp trailer and charge batteries. This has enough power to run my AC unit on my trailer. Quiet running (actually I thought it would be quieter) but when you walk 10 feet away you kinda forget its running. Easy to start and operate. Very fuel efficient, I ran on encono mode most of the summer.

Does the job

Purchased 9 months ago for occasional use. The unit is fairly quiet, starts pretty easy and runs a long time on a tank of gas. Price was good and have used it enough to know it is dependable. I have an issue now with the spark plug cable, so will see how Westinghouse is with warranty service.

Great design and features

The iGen2500 has a lot of great features and performs very well. The load indicator and estimated run time are very nice. Digital display makes it easy to monitor the generators output and exactly how many watts are being pulled. It starts very easily and the efficiency mode switch allows it to be very quite when it doesn’t have a large load on it. Perfect for camping in the woods or outside party where you don’t want a lot of noise. Highly recommended.

Everything I was looking for and exceptional value

Was looking for a compact inverter generator that could run my 12k BTU portable AC and several other items in preparation for hurricane season. This iGen2500 is able to pull the AC and several other items. The other 2000 watt generators were more expensive and unable to handle what I needed. The fuel, load usage, and estimated running times on the front panel are a plus and not offered on other models at this price.

Easy to operate.

I got this inverter generator because of the spec. I needed for my 2 refrigerator and cellphone charging in case of power outage. It quieter than the traditional generator. I love how easy it is to operate. when it arrived, I fill in the oil then gas, turn on the switch to choke, pull once,switch to run, pull again and it started working. I happy that it is so simple to operate. I've plug in my fridge and it's running like normal and the display is very helpful.

Very Quiet and portable

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

Perfect for our needs. It is lightweight, easy to operate, quiet, and very powerful. We use it for camping, so portability is very important. The displays on the generator make it easy to understand how much energy you're using, how much fuel you have left, etc...

Quick Setup Startup & Break-In Process

Purchased for use on our trips to the lake with our PWC’s, received well packaged and included items needed to startup(except fuel)! The screw in oil funnel made this process seamless and only took a few minutes. Fueled the generator and it started up flawlessly, the 5hr break-in process with less than 50% load occasionally allows the engine to be prepared for years quality use! Also, I like the drain tube and screw to remove any standing fuel from the bowl! Well made and great quality on-the-go generator!

Well thought out Small Generator

Arrive well before initial date. I can only comment on the product out of the box. Well thought out design and has a small kit, (Screw Driver/Spark plug wench), funnel and motor oil. Engine service cover is secured by two screws and very tight fitting grommets and posts. Added the oil without spillage due to the design of the funnel. Recommend you to keep the motor oil bottle, (refill) and funnel on hand for future usage. Spark plug access does not fit as well as I think it should, however this will not hinder the performance. Recommend using only non-ethanol premium fuel only. Performance is to be seen as this current writing will not be very helpful in that aspect.
