IGEN2800

Purchased this generator after borrowing the same model during a power outage. Used to power our refrigerator, freezer and pellet stove. We were happy with the ease of operation so ordered one for ourselves. Started up for a while to start the break-in process. Happy with this purchase.

Excellent Inverter Generator

Product arrived FedEx in perfect condition. Took the Generator out of the packaging, followed the quick start instructions, pulled the starter cord "1" time and the generator started. Ran a while, cut it off, and did so again, and each time it started on the 1st pull. I am beyond pleased with this portable generator. Great Product at a Great Price.

Compact, Quiet Generator at a Good Value

I bought this a couple weeks ago for the hurricane season. As advertised, it is very quiet (for a generator), particularly when running at low load in efficiency mode. Simple to operate and set up. I also like that it can be moved around easily with the carry handle--it's not too heavy. If you don't need a huge amount of power, this seems like a good option.

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.

Amazing Portable Power Station (Generator)

I have purchases two of the iGen2500 generator/inverters and thus far they are an exceptional value. Lite weight, powerful and portable are the embodiment of these units. Read the manual, follow the instructions and do the maintenance and they will not let you down.

Great product and quite a surprise for me!

In Ct. we have extreme weather events at times....severe snowstorms, thunderstorms and then there are times the power goes out for other non-weather related situations...this happened on 2 occasions this past winter. My wife with the help of our son researched what a good generator would be for our situation and they read reviews on line and purchased the iGen 2500. Thankfully we got by without any outages the rest of March because I got my "gift" of the iGen 2500 for my birthday in April. What a great surprise and can't wait to put it to the test .....although we did try it out and it works great! Check out the other great reviews online. Highly recommend this product!

My second one!

I don’t even have to run this to know how good it is because it’s my second one. These are the best generators on the market for the money. One galling of fuel will run this generator for 10 hours. It starts on the first pull every time and is super quiet. Love these!!!

Great Generator but could use some improvements

Nice generator. I spent copious amounts of time researching a generator / inverter for my 5th wheel. It came down to the Honda 2000 watt vs the iGen2500. I wanted to be able to start and run the AC unit so I opted for the iGen2500 over the iGen2200. Yes it did! It was easy to setup and get running, from a out of the box to add oil and gas, it started on the 2nd pull. Suggestions and the reason for 4 stars vs 5: 1) It doesn't come with an hour meter. They are not an expensive item, not hard to install, and the unit requires maintenance based on a hourly runtime schedule. So one would think it would come with an hour meter. ( I purchased a Hardline hour meter for $20 an installed it in about 10 minutes.) The iGen2500 already has a digital display, so one would think an hour meter could be incorporated into the digital readout. FYI Westinghouse... including an hour meter would set you above everyone else and give you an edge when comparing brands, as no one else includes an hour meter on this size of generator. Just saying.... 2) Digital display, great feature but it has some issues, at least for us Americans. First, it's location on the very bottom of the generator makes it hard to read. Locating it on the top would have been a better location. 2nd: it displays the amount of fuel left in the tank in liters. In America where we use quarts / gallons, Quarts remaining would be better. 3rd: the readout for power output is in kilowatts, so the total kw is 2.0kw - 2.5kw, we use wattage to determine load / how many appliance we can power with a generator. So a reading in watts would be far more useful than in kilowatts. 4th: The digital readout rolls between each of 4 readouts, with a letter in front to indicate what the reading signifies. L = for fuel remaining ? how about F for fuel F = for remaining runtime? how about T for time I would like a way to add an external fuel tank for longer run times. Other than these items, I'm happy with my iGen2500 and would recommend it!

Started After First Pull

Unit arrived in great shape and on time from AP Electric. Added oil as directed, filled with Clear Unleaded Premium fuel. Unit started on first pull. As a test I let the unit run for 20 minutes or so powering a 1200 watt toaster oven. Not the most scientific test, but I just wanted to see the unit work. So far so good. Time will tell as I use the unit over the summer.

Quiet Powerhouse

I just unboxed, set up, and operated the unit for the first time. Initial reaction is quite positive. Unit started on first pull and ran quietly compared to traditional generators, especially when I placed the unit into efficiency mode. I bought the unit for camping and quiet operation is essential.
