Powerful and easy to start

Received the iGen 2500 in good condition. Added oil, gas, and started it up on the first crank. Looking forward to trying it out while dry camping with my 22 ft travel trailer. Best of all the iGen 2500 has enough power to run my trailers 13.5k BTU air conditioner.

Great price, perfect size

We moved from a whole house generator to a new subdivision. Always had the security of power in case of an emergency. For the new house I needed just enough to run the refrigerator, TV, some lights and the computer in case of power out. After some research this unit looked like the best for me. The hundreds of satisfied reviews outweighed the few complaints about some damage in shipping. I got the unit delivered, with no damage, absolutely perfect packaging. Like most other reviews, I followed the direction for start up and it fired on the first pull. Amazing how quiet it runs and at 48 pounds its easy to store away and bring right out in case we need it. I'm also impressed with the parallel operation option, in case we need that in the future. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Excellent Inverter Generator

The generator came packaged in perfect condition, with oil and the tools to initiate service. The instruction book was thorough, heavily focused on safety issues, and easy to understand. Initial start-up was easy and successful. The generator was then tested by powering an RV electrical system, to include some higher current-draw items. It performed perfectly, and I am also impressed with the computerized display and the idle function. I would highly recommend this (and have already) to anyone in the market for a 2,000-2,500 watt generator.

Quiet, economical and plenty of power

Bought this unit to supply power for a hunting cabin. It ran all the indoor and outdoor lights, plus tv, coffee pot etc. We ran it every night for 6 to 8 hours for a month. It started on the first pull every time and the gas tank rarely got below 1/4 tank each day. I would highly recommend this unit.

Works Great!

I bought this unit about a month ago. It started up on the first pull and runs great. The noise level is good, The output showing the amount of uel and the run time left is great. The only issue that I had was that the cover was a little difficult to get off to put the oil in,

Great inverter

I have only had this one week and really havnt used it since I took a couple of hours breaking it in with a 1500 watt electric heater. It powered the heater without a struggle and ran real smooth but not quite as quiet as I thought it would be when under load.

Easy Starting and Excellent User Manual

This is the second generator I bought in a year. The iGen2500 is easier to start, and puts out 30% more power, yet weighs just 2 lbs more, is the same size and equally quiet. The iGen2500 even came with a bottle of engine oil and a dipstick, little things missing on the other brand. The User Manual is extraordinarily complete. It's also a great value.

New Westinghouse Generator Purchase

Recently bought the Westinghouse igen2800, a necessary item in FL. Followed the first time start up menu and it fired up easily. I connect a freezer full of food and it handled the load easily. Ran it for 15 mins w/no problem. Do not know how long it will run yet but am confident since it is a Westinghouse product.

worked great in time of need

So glad I bought this generator. Hurricane Ida hit us 17 days after it was delivered. I was out of electricity for 6 days and it was very hot. I was able to plug in my refrigerator, freezer, tv and fan. Being able to watch tv to get information was great. At night we were able to sleep using a small air conditioner. Easy to use and manage. Love it.

Igen2500 out of box

All the tools and oil and manuals were included and easy to read and follow the directions. will be doing the start up and break in later today. The only thing was the cover for the spark plug doesn't fully seat on the case, found some flashing in the slot and removed, and its better, but still not all the way.
