So far so good

i just purchased two of these little beasts. They are super easy to start. I purchased them to use side by side for a horse trailer with living quarters since camping with horses is rustic 99% of the time. Once I have used them I will try to come back and leave more feed back. They are pretty light weight for invertors and I can pick them up without too much difficulty. (I'm a senior female)

IGen2800c

Bought in Feb 2024. It was surging a little bit when I first started it but after 20 minutes it stopped. Started it three more times on different days and no surging. I like it. Very quiet. Puts out 124 volts with no load. 119 volts with a load. Display panel is something different on a generator. I like that too. I researched many generators and I’m glad I bought this one

Intuitive control panel - easy set up

Bought this device primarily due to rolling brown outs in our area as well as longer outages caused by fires in Northern California. The initial set and testing of this device went smoothly. It's slightly louder than we expected, but assume it's still operating within spec. Overall we're really glad to have it!

Great Features

I bought this one week ago and have tested it under load up to 1,700 watts and it performed flawlessly. Start up was immediate, first pull. Operation was quite. All digital display panel functions worked nicely. Love the gas gauge. Included oil funnel and spark plug removal tool and screwdriver. Very easy to setup and run. Side cover is easy to remove to gain access to carburetor.

Quiet and great quality!

This is just perfect for our camper. We can use the microwave and safely charge our smartphones and laptops. Quiet was a big influence with which generator to buy. This was quieter than many of the other leading brands and it supports the wattage it claims without hassle. Not heavy to carry around either. Less than 50 pounds!

Very simple to start easy maintance and very reliable.

This gen 2500 watts is awesome and is what I needed. Its very light to carry and it turns on my refrigerator fans and charges my phone with no problem. Very good on gas and las alot. I took this gen to my parents in Puerto Rico and they are super satisfied and happy with the product. Thank you Westinghouse for the support and the customer service is very helpful.

GOOD SIZE

We bought this model for security during power outages which are common in our area. It seems to be the right power for our home to keep lights, refrigerator and freezer running. So far, we are very pleased. It is easy to start and measures rated voltage and power and gasoline amount.

Reliable

I ran this iGen2500c for the recommended break in period. I must say this is the easiest generator I’ve ever started. Two pulls and it fired up. If runs pretty quietly and is easy to monitor with the digital display. It is well worth the price paid.

Great Invertor Generator

Good build quality, and reasonably easy to transport. The generator startup up on first or second pull, and was easy to setup. It is fairly quite and has served its use thus far. Plan to use for tailgating, camping, and occasional emergency back up power.

Quiet, simple and light.

I had an older Coleman 5500 which was overkill and way loud. I read good reviews and decided on this Westinghouse igen2500. It should work fine for a refrigerator and heater which is all we need. I just completed the break in period and it’s quiet, light, simple and even the size is convenient. I look forward to putting it to the test this coming winter.
