Performs

Purchased a few weeks ago for emergencies and to power small equipment. Thus far the unit has performed well at a good sound level. Unit is heavy but manageable; it starts with 2-3 attempts max. We may be adding an extra unit for increased capacity in the future.

Very quiet and light weight

I was looking for an inverter generator that I could run a refrigerator and a few lights on when the power goes out at home. But, I didn't like the price tag of the Honda. I did my research and found that the Westinghouse iGen2500 was just what I needed and at a much reasonable price. So, I got online and bought one. I haven't had the chance to test it out on my house yet but I did run it in my shop with lights and small hand tools plugged in. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it worked and especially how quiet it was. I can literally stand one foot away from it and have a normal conversation without raising my voice. I love this generator.

First Day Review with Small RV AC

Setup was fairly easy, but oil fill is behind cover that requires Philips screwdriver to remove. Added a little gas and it started after three pulls. Connected to my RV with a Coleman Mach 10 13.5k BTU AC. Turned the AC on low (~1kw draw) and iGen showed 50% load on eco mode. Using Android Sound Meter app, it was registering 82dB from over 6' away -- this is much louder than the advertised 52dB. If I disconnect all load, it does quiet down a bit.

Started up 1st Try and Solid Since

Bought this to run 2 fridges while power was out. It started up on the 1st try and handled them no problem. Even in ECO mode. I really liked the front display, so I could look out my window and read the amount of fuel left or how much power was being delivered.

Pleasantly surprised

I bought this generator three years ago. I bought another one a year later with the parallel cables but never used any of them. I gave the newest one to a friend when I moved last year. Lucky I had this one. Hurricane Helene came through and this kept me from loosing my food in two large refrigerators. It also ran my WiFi, my tv, and tankless water heater controls. I am now considering the 12500 watt tri fuel for whole house use. Thank you for a great product.

First thing I reach for when the lights go out!

Better price and more power than other generators I looked at. I run a 12 gauge cord into the house and it runs the refrigerator and a fan and charges all our phones and cordless drill batteries for the lights. Does what I need and uses less fuel than my big generator.

Impressed so far.

Impressive features on this unit. The user manual, display, ease of starting just to name a few. Nice that the oil with funnel and spark plug wrench are all included. Instructions on set up are clear and easy to follow. After the set up it took about 3 easy pulls to start. At normal idle I thought it sounded louder than I thought it would be.My phone app sound meter showed a fair amount higher than the 52db advertised level. However on eco mode it is way more quiet. Can't speak to long term use or reliability yet but so far I really like it.

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.

Easy to use! Works great!

I bought this because I heard it was going to be a rough hurricane season. My little town of Douglas was demolished. This Generator has been a live saver and has ran multiple appliances. I will definitely buy another to pair with it! No regrets here!
