Nice Generator

After searching for a small generator and reading many reviews, I decided to purchase the Westinghouse iGen2500. It came well packaged and after adding oil and gas, it started on the second pull. The generator is very quiet and runs smoothly. It responds well to loads and is quite strong for its size. There are many good small generators on the market but the deciding factor for me was the Digital Data Center feature. It allows me to monitor the status of the generator at a glance and includes an hour meter. It is well designed and user friendly. Overall, I could not be any more satisfied with my iGen 2500.

Amazing product, on for 8 hours with one gallon of fuel

I ordered this for my Dad in Puerto Rico who has been without power for a month. This unit was 54lbs in the original box and was easy to get on a plan. I poured in the oil, filled the gas tank and it started in two pulls. first pull on choke and second on run. Had enough power to run a 10K BTU AC, a fridge, a fan and some lights at 30% power usage which showed would give us 7.5 hour on the small fuel take. the energy mode is great and the displays are very helpful. This unit is very quite as I compared it to the 100's of other I've seen in the use during my week in the Hurricane ravaged island of Puerto Rico.

Exelent performance !

I live in a tropical island with a very poor elecric power service. The last huracaine Maria in 2017 left the whole island in the dark for over 7 months. Some places over a year. Besides that we have power failures basicaly every day for many hours. I used to own a big generator, but fuel costs where absurd ! Now my family and I could have peace of mind with this exellent generator, not having to worry about the amount of fuel it wil consume, besides it is so quiet and it efficient I am glad I chose this model...

Great value!

Just received the 2200/2500 and I’m especially happy with all the parameters it monitors and provides indication for. The noise level was a bit higher than expected with the efficiency mode turned off. When the switch in turned on the noise level drops to a much more tolerable level. Overall can’t wait to put in in service at the campsite.

Great features Great price

i like the LED digital display feature that gives fuel level, remaining runtime, voltage and power output. Runs quiet. After the initial filling of gas and oil, subsequent starts were easy. Great product to bring with my camper and for emergency home use. Got an excellent price from major discount store

Fantastic machine

I bought this generator, for forest camping, I do not do hookups. I am very impressed what this generator can handle, ac and fridge plus charging my batteries. The machine is so easy to start, and the panel is easy to read. I like the instruction manual and also the service chart.

Outstanding Product!!!

Hey, Westernhouse nailed this one! I can't tell you how much I enjoy the Igen2600. I purchased the Igen2600 for my work trailer. The first thing I noticed was how comfortable the noise level was, and then fuel efficiency is amazing.I can run my Igen2600 all day on one gallon of gas with the power to run any hand tools that I might be using.. And it starts every time on the first pull. I totally recommend this unit.

Great build quality and very quiet running

I bought this unit to deal with frequent grid power outages in our area. I only need to run some of the priority items in the house, like the fridge, freezer, H/W blower fan, furnace fan, etc. It handles all of those with ease and is very quiet - can barely hear a low hum in the house. The digital display is great to provide hours and fuel left, power being consumed, and lifetime runtime.

Fuel Level Indicator

New out of box. Fuel level indicator does not work properly. Only shows one indicator light, fuel tank was filled to about 3/4 full. Then filled to the red ring.Still only shows one fuel level indicator light. Hooked up heat lamp to generator and was running fine. Control Panel missing 2 bottom screws. 3 Stars because new unit was not 100%.

Excellent purchase to keep my electronics up and running

Watched many videos and reviews on this inverter before purchasing but still couldn't imagine how quiet it was until I first used it. It is very easy to move around and start by yourself. The display for fuel level, output wattage, time remaining, and running voltage is why I decided on this one vs the next model cheaper. It is easy to see from a distance without going outside to check the fuel. I bought this for running my sensitive electronics while my larger generator powers the rest of my house. I look at it this way, this inverter generator is cheaper than buying a new smart tv that could break due to using dirty, unfiltered, unregulated power coming from a conventional generator.
