I'm a female homeowner who has never owned or used a generator. I bought this Westinghouse inverter generator because our electricity provider often shuts off our power for days at a time here in California when the Santa Ana winds are blowing during fire season. I'm looking forward to being able to at least power our refrigerator, some lamps, and a few other things. I haven't used the generator yet, but I just finished reading the entire manual, and I have to say that I am very impressed by how well the manual was written. It is easy to understand, and it did not repeat the same thing many times over like so many manuals do. I chose the Westinghouse iGen2500 for several reasons. It is only 48 pounds, so I can easily lift it by myself. It gets great reviews from people who have used it. It has a fuel gauge. The LED screen and indicator lights make monitoring it easier than other brands. I'm really looking forward to using this during the inevitable public safety power shutoffs that will be coming soon. Having read the manual and understanding it, I'm already pleased with my purchase. I'm going to keep a log book of the hours and time used so that I can strictly adhere to the maintenance schedule.

Great little generator for emergency purposes. Bought this to replace a very large generator that was way to much for our needs during an emergency. Who really needs to light up the whole house during a true emergency situation? I need something that is quiet, sips the gas and can easily be secured. This things fits the bill perfectly. Less expensive and more powerful than the Honda with a longer warranty. Seems like a no brainer. Great reviews everywhere you look.

Purchased to power my pop-up camper while camping. The purchase was easy and delivery to store was estimated correctly and prompt. Purchased because of good reviews and the included 3 year warranty. The unit is compact and light weight. I have yet to try it out. Will update when I do.

I bought this generator for a 2 fold issue. The first issue will be that I will be retiring and traveling the country soon and so I wanted-to use it for camping. And the other issue is for the piece of mind of having power when the power goes out at the house. Just received it 2 weeks ago so I haven’t been able to start it up yet.love the size of it and the portability of it. Happy camping.

Needed emergency electrical power due to wildfire and electrical outage and after reviewing other generators we decided on this Westinghouse Igen2500. Great value considering price/performance and 3 year warranty. Delivered timely with no damage as it was well packaged. Included was oil, tool kit, funnel, and user manual(s). Setup was easy and the generator started on the 2nd pull. Sound was acceptable. All works as advertised. Very pleased.

This generator has gotten some fantastic reviews online, and has some really great features. The LED readout gives you some very useful information including the amount of time remaining and the fuel level. I liked this particular model (iGEN 2500) which has more output than most that are the same size. Price and quietness were also major benefits.

Used it during 3 weeks as home backup power after hurricane Maria struck PR leaving the Island off the power grid. In average I used it daily for 12 hours powering a refrigerator, 1-55" LED TV, 1-40" LCD TV, 8-16Watt Lamps, 2-big fans, 1 800W Expresso coffee brewer running 6 mins. cycle in the morning, and washing 2 laundry loads per week, charging my cel. phones, tablets and laptop. Very quiet and fuel efficient giving an average of 12 hours per 1 gallon of gas. Extremely satisfied with it's performance.

I bought this a few weeks ago for our upcoming RV camping adventures after review dozens of generators. One pull and the generator started right up! It is quiet and has a more powerful engine than other generators for it's size. We like the good looks and manageable weight. Overall, great features!

Recommended by a family member and they were spot on. We bought two, use for camping and love them! Was concerned when the recall occurred. However all fears were erased by the efficient, professional manner exhibited by the Westinghouse people I talked to and the quick repair. This is a wonderful generator. BG

Last year during Mathew I borrowed a Honda generator from a friend and was really pleased with its performance and how quiet it was but when purchasing one this year I was not happy to see it sold for $999. Very, very happy with the Igen2500 and how much quieter and fuel efficient it is and I saved $300 over the Honda. I searched many brands and types of generators and am confident that I made the best choice.
