pro's starts rite up. runs fantastic. I check the power, it is as advertised. nice-looking unit. comes with everything you need to get started with about a 15 minute set up time. the unit is made well. Cons. the only partial con is the housing rattles a bit. found this to be true with most of the competitors as well. Overall this is a fantastic unit and I will be buying another.

Bought this for my horse/sleeper trailer. Could not have asked for better results. Powers all my lights, refrigerator and coffee maker without an issue. Will buy another down the road and tie them both together for double the power. Unit is very quiet.

This compact generator is just the right size for the applications I intend to use it for. After the massive power outage here in S Texas in February this year I lost the capability to heat my well pump head and pool pumping apparatus (we live in the country and have our own drilled well) - serious damaged pipes and pumps etc. With this generator I will be better prepared this year and have piece of mind.

Unboxed, pleased to find oil and tools enclosed. Package arrived in good shape. Read the quick start guide, added the oil and filled tank with gas. Pulled one time to get some oil circulated, turned to choke and started first pull! Used about 30 minutes trimming a large hedge, ran great.

LIKE: 1) Easy to start. If you can start a lawnmower, you can start this. 2) Much quieter than typical generators. Hums rather than roars. 3) Power appears to be very clean. Tested on shop light - no flickering at all even when engine speed changes. 4) Digital display is very helpful. Don't have to wonder if how much power I have left or how much gas is in the tank. DISLIKE: 1) Engine pops every once in a while. Could be the 87 octane gas I used. Will use 93 octane next time. 2) Exhaust comes out of plastic cover. I'm worried that the hot exhaust might melt the plastic edges when used for long period of time.

After searching for a small generator and reading many reviews, I decided to purchase the Westinghouse iGen2500. It came well packaged and after adding oil and gas, it started on the second pull. The generator is very quiet and runs smoothly. It responds well to loads and is quite strong for its size. There are many good small generators on the market but the deciding factor for me was the Digital Data Center feature. It allows me to monitor the status of the generator at a glance and includes an hour meter. It is well designed and user friendly. Overall, I could not be any more satisfied with my iGen 2500.

Have had it about a month and used several times mostly running a electric tree pruner. Quiet and easy to start. Only thing that I would like is if they made the side cover with some type of snap latch or thumb screw so you wouldn't have to get a screw driver to remove not a big deal but a nice to have. I like the ability to drain carburetor.

I purchased the iGen 2800 in late July. We were so impressed by how quiet and how much power it put out. We ran our tv, internet, direct tv, room air conditioner, and two fans. With all that it was only at 25% load. Liked it so well, we bought a second one for our daughter who lives in the city and has all underground utilities. Hope she never needs it, but at least it gives me peace of mind. By draining all fuel and running until it completely empty, it should last for years without any problems. Great product !

SCROLL DOWN FOR TIP FOR USE WITH GAS FURNACES I bought this as a backup for my house during ice storms, which happen all too often in Oklahoma City. In 2020 I got to test it out while we were without power for 13 days. Not a fun experience, but a great test for the generator! The generator performed flawlessly. It started up easily, ran great and was able to power the gas furnace, refrigerator, television, internet router and a couple of other electronics. In fact, with all of those things running it still had more capacity! :: GAS FURNACE TIP :: Here's the important tweak I had to make. At first, the furnace would not run at all. I opened up the furnace panel and found a blinking LED indicating that there was a grounding problem. I did some research and eventually came across a forum that suggested that little generators like these sometimes need a neutral bonding plug. I watched a YouTube video on how to make a neutral bonding plug with supplies from the hardware store and it was easy to do myself. Once I plugged the neutral bonding plug into the generator, my furnace happily turned on, lit the gas burner and started up the blower, supplying much needed heat to the whole house. Overall, I highly recommend this generator, as long as you go into it knowing you may need the neutral bonding plug.

I bought the generator a few months ago and luckily have not had to use it yet. It's small and light weight and will hopefully be easy to carry somewhere if needed. The most interesting thing I read was the manufacturer said it would handle up to 10% ethanol, rather than requiring 100% gas.
