Not so scary and complex

Purchased the iGen2500 for the "just in case" day. That day arrived 2 years later. I quickly read the start-up guide, then added the oil and gas. Hesitantly, I pulled on the cord and it started on my 2nd- 3rd pull. I turned it off, put it in my wagon and pulled it through the snow to the powerless house. I carried it up several steps and placed it on the outside porch where it easily started again. Very pleased. I avoid pull-cord tools due to my size and strength...or rather lack of size and strength! I am a 5'1'', 100 pound, senior citizen woman and found the iGen2500 not the scary and complex item I thought I was going to have to handle on an already disastrous day. Thank you.

Easy Startup

I bought this over a month ago and finally got around to putting oil and gas in it. I should have done it sooner because it was so easy. Cranked right up on the 2nd pull. I don’t want the power to go out, but I’m thankful for the peace of mind this gives us. Already tested it with a 1500 watt heater and 50ft cord. It revved up flawlessly.

Exactly as Described - Thank you

I had been using a 2K generator running 1600 and needed more, but at my age, not to heavy. This, out of the box, quick start, 2 pulls and purrs like a kitten. After breaking it in I am sure it will every bit as quality as it is right now. This running at 2200 will let me use my camping coffee pot and electric skillet at the same time. Nice. Thanks.

Starts easy and runs quiet

Took out of box, added oil and gas and started on third pull. Runs quieter that I thought it would. In a week, I go to Canada for fishing and I need a generator for camp and charging batteries on my boat. That will be the test, but it looks good now.

Super Generator Inverter

I purchased this generator hoping it would power a few appliances if I ever lost power at my house. This generator is amazing. It ran the refrigerator, several lights and charged Multiple cell phones all without any problems. A great added feature is how quite it is while running. Thank you Westinghouse for such a great product.

Got me through Hurricane Ida!

I bought this 2 weeks before Hurricane Ida knocked out our power for a week to run the refrigerator and small freezer. It only took 25% power to do that! It is rated for 10-12 hours on a gallon. But under “efficiency” mode, or ran 18 hours. Amazing! I also took it out to a vacation house that had no power to rebuild steps that got washed out from the storm; a life saver!

Lightweight with some juice

Purchased in Florida due to our crazy weather at times. My goal is to maintain my fridge and/or a small portable air conditioner if needed. I have watched some horror stories play out and although I have only been without power in the past for about one full day, I want to have some power when needed.

IGen2500 setup and run

My large camper ac unit started right up. I have a modified Easy Start. Compressor starts and fan motor is delayed 3 seconds. Changed it because normally fan keeps running when thermostat stops the unit, and then breaker on my 2200 would trip when compressor restarted and fan was allready running.

Nice unit, but only metric units

The generator was exactly what I expected, and the quality, fit and finish are good. Started right up with no issues. My only *minor* complaint is that on the digital display, fuel remaining is listed in liters (of which I sadly have no real reference, since everything in the US is gallons). This isn't a big deal, but I thought other buyers may like to know this.

Excellent power

Bought this generator so I would have enough power to run the A/C in my 5th wheel. The generator runs smooth and quiet especially on economy mode. The screen gives plenty of information especially on how much more power you have available. It is lite enough to easily carry around.
