Be prepared for emergencies

you never know when you might be out of power. This is the second igen2500c generator I have. Both work great, I only have approx. 12-15 hours on each but they have not failed me yet. I filled them with oil and gas and performed the break in process as described in the manual, and they have been starting easily and run quieter than the other generators I can hear around the neighborhood, while standing next to it and it is running.

Well Prepared!

I bought this generator in response to 4 day power outage.After reviewing other reviews, I decide that the quite yet powerful generator is just what I need for overnight application. The product was ship two days ahead of schedule with no box dents or scuffs. I was very pleased with the attention to detail in which Westinghouse shows in its packaging and manuals.

Nice little Generator

This is my second Westinghouse Generator my first was a 4000 watt it runs great , when my Kids found out I had a generator, one needed it for power outage then another one needed it for the same thing and being a good Father i let them use it ,so I was afraid I might need one, when they did so i bought another one , this is a smaller one lighter and much quieter one and very nice, I also recommended it to a friend.

Perfect for Needs

Bought this generator for specific reasons. Using it to run window air conditioner or space heater in the home and the air conditioner on my RV if we were to lose power. Can handle everything I've plugged in and then some. Extremely happy with purchase and recommend for anyone looking for emergency power. Plus it's light and can be hand carried.

So far so good

So far the inverter has worked as it should, although there was a brief issue with not starting. But it's been resolved, so far. The inverter appears to be exactly what we wanted, a back up power source in the event of an outage. We are relying on the Westinghouse name and hoping not to be disappointed.

Like the features

I mainly got this for camping and we gone camping this past weekend and and used it for the first time and it started with no problem and works great , small enough to lug around and all the power we needed. Also it’s nice to have if our power goes out at home so it’s a win win

So quiet!

Received this generator today and couldn't wait to check it out. After reading instruction manual of course, I filled with oil and gas and she purred to life on second pull. I was ecstatic on how quiet it was started plugging several items around the garage for ops check. Cant wait for a season full of camping and even use around property.

My first impression of the Igen2500

I bought the igen2500 for camping in my truck camper. it has a slightly larger engine than most light inverter generators.it runs the small A/c easily I would have given it 5 stars if the left service panel attachment points weren’t broken off and the carb drain hose was missing. If the parts dept.comes up with a service panel l will be very happy

Have owned for 9 months & LOVE it!

Purchased to use while Deer hunting in an off-the-grid hunting cabin. We use this to run 2 CPAP's at night, as well as a few cell phone chargers & some LED lights. It works great & one 1 gallon of gas will run about 10-12 hours! The only issue is you cant fill it past the red mark in the tank or it's not able to get air from the vented gas cap. If it stars to studder take off the gas cap or loosen it for a few minutes & you will be good to go.

Working great for our needs.

We bought the generator for power outages. Within nights after getting the generator our power went out. Ran the fridge, TV, wifi, fire place fan, a few lights, and changed the phones on the USB ports. Worked great. Pretty quite. We live in a neighborhood where the houses are pretty close together. The neighbors said they could not hear it from in side their house. That is important. Looking forward to taking it camping this summer.
