So far, so good.

Neatly packaged, all items promised accounted for. Currently running a break in period with frequent oil changes. The engine is quiet and smooth running. I have not yet put it under a full load test but based on it’s current running condition there shouldn’t be any issues. I will update this review as necessary.

Great Generator!!

My IGen 2500 Westinghouse generator was deliviered today. Got it out of the box, added the enclosed engine oil, added gas and had it started in two pulls. It runs very quiet. My wife and I are set for the Spring when the storms come through and we loose power. We now can get some light back on in a hurry. We look forward to using it at the lake to work on the boat and travel trailer. It will help us out when we need power quickly and quietly!

Noise Level

A bit louder than stated. Perfect for very sensitive live sound, follow the instructions. After starting the generator. Make sure all sound equipment is off, plug in, turn one piece of equipment on at time, allow a about 4 seconds to stabilize the generator, turn on the next piece of sound equipment and repeat. Reverse the same when turning off. No A/C hum or statics.

Great Little Generator

I bought this for an upcoming travel vacation and needed a fairly quiet small generator. I found this online and decided to give it a try. When I received the generator I was a bit worried because the box had some physical damage and I hoped that it didn't hurt the generator. After unboxing I was relieved to find that the generator was in great shape. I followed the startup instructions and within a few minutes had the generator up and running. It was not quite as quiet as I thought, but compared to another generator I have it is very quiet. I later found out it is much quieter than other units friends of mine have. The unit starts up first time, display panel and controls are well marked and usable. I ran a few items with the generator to test its capabilities and everything worked with no loading of the generator. Overall, this is a great little generator. May get another one to run in parallel in the near future!

works as expected, great manual and cust support

Bought iGen2500 in middle of Nov2020. Read the manual several times to make sure that I did not miss anything. Follow the Quick Start manual, it works on the 2nd pull; only I did not pull hard enough on the first pull. when everything works as in manual, it gives me more confident on the product. Since we will only use it occasionally, I called customer service for long storage preparation. My expectation was, to be honest, very low. But to my surprise, they know and care about what my needs. Very happy with the purchase and I will definitely recommend this generator.

Runs smooth and instruction simple to follow

I recently purchased the Igen2500 as I spent last winter as a "Winter Texan in our RV and was unfortunate to have been caught in the severe weather and power outage. I have started the break in period for the engine and was very pleased how quiet the unit is and how smoothly it runs. I am currently in my house with it running and am not able to hear it. This certainly is important with neighbors around.

Many options

We have not fired off yet, but are very impressed with the options on it and the fact that details in manuel are extensive and even cover yearly maintenance. We needed one that would run our camper AC, and I do not anticipate any problems with this one. Only reason not a 5 review is because we have not broken it in yet.

Good for RV and emergencies

Specifically bought the iGen2500 to power my RV's 13.500 BTU Duo-Therm roof-mounted Air Conditioner. The iGen started with the first pull of the recoil handle after adding oil and gas. It handles the A/C even on High. I especially like it has a built-in Fuel Drain Line and Float Bowl Drain Line for easy winterization. It is also a pleasure that the User Manual is clearly written and includes the exploded view and parts list.

Westinghouse 2500 watt generator

This is actually a positive review. But I have a warning too. My unit arrived with the float bowl drain wide open and I didn't see that. At least not until I had about a cup of fuel in the bottom of the shroud. Suggest checking that before starting. Otherwise simple storage for the tools would be a nice touch. Everything else worked per plan.

Quiet and mobile

We purchased this to run power tools on a remote property we are building a house on. This generator ran my saws, charged my batteries, and even charges my cell phone perfectly. A very quiet generator, would recommend this to anyone looking for remote/mobile power options.
