I AM VERY IMPRESSED with the igen2800c

I have been using portable backup gas gensets for 49 years in Alaska both at our home and onboard our boat. The igen2800c is by far the best quality genset I have used. The price is also a good buy as I have paid a lot more for lessor quality name brand gensets. Their design is very well thought out. It's quiet and I like the display features. So far I have found nothing to criticize!

Bought after much research, most powerful and priced right!

Just purchased this generator. Added oil and gas, started up with first pull! Everything was packaged just as advertised. Much quieter that standard generators. Intend to use for camping, and I see not reason that a five star rating will not be warranted after actual use. Satisfied so far!

Great product

This gem has all the power to run in Emergency situations, for the basic 100ac usage. It is very quiet, which is a huge plus ( if you've owned a Briggs & Stratton generator, you'll understand). Fuel capacity is right for thge sie, with consuption being average to larger generators.

RECEIVED USED

I purchased this on sale for $399 which I thought was a steal. I was going to just store it in my garage until needed at a later time but noticed the box looked retaped so I decided to open it. Upon opening I smelled gasoline. I called the company and they said it should not smell like gasoline or have gas upon opening a new boxed generator. Was going to exchange but they were sadly out of stock. They are now back in stock but the sale price is no longer available.

Hi Jessica, <br /><br /> We are deeply sorry to hear about this. We assure you that the gasoline smell is normal, as all Westinghouse Generators are functionally tested in the factory to ensure our customers receive a quality product. We hope this clears up any confusion! <br /> Have a great day,

Portable generator with enough power

We ice fish and have used the predator line of generators but the 2000 is just to small for what we need. The 2500 runs everything in our fish house without tripping. It will even run the ac! Its compact. Only thing they need to include is a fuel pump so you can run an extended run tank.

Amazing inverter Generator

I saw this generator on sale for $200 off regular price and ordered it. Fast delivery. Followed instructions and it fired up like a champ. My friends are envious now they did not order one when I told them about it being on sale. It is not overly noisy and overall a great generator!

Great Generator

I purchased this generator for my trailer. It worked out great. Over the last year I have stored the generator in my garage. There has been power problems developing for the last year...I will use it as my backup for the refrigerator and freezer, and fans. Before I am second guessed I understand the output of the generator. it is a great piece of machinery and is quiet. The price is reasonable and well worth the cost. There are cheaper brands and more expensive ones but possibly not better ones.

Highly recommend

I really wanted the igen4500 but that unit has been on backorder everywhere for a very long time. With hurricane season a week away I didn't want to take a chance so I ordered the igen2500, which was my second choice. Upon unboxing I gave it a thorough going over. The unit appeared to be in great condition with only 1 minor scratch. When I showed the wife she couldn't even find the scratch. Alls good! I followed the very clear pre startup instructions and was ready to start it up within 5 min. It started on the first pulled. I let it run for 20 min with no load than added a 240 watt load and let it run. After 10hrs 14min it finally ran out of gas. I found the unit to be louder than I expecting. More on that later. Day 2. I wanted to run another tank full of gas to get through the first 20hrs and do the first oil change as recommended ( I actually change the oil after the first day's run so this would be the second oil change). About 2 hrs into the run I noticed 1 of the 4 control panel screws had back it's way out and was laying on the ground. Looking at the screw I found the last 3 threads had been stripped. I checked the other three and they were fine. A quick trip to the hardware store and all is good again. On this day I put a higher load on the unit, about 430 watts. Still under 25 % load. It ran out of gas after 10hrs 29min. Very happy. On day three I added a small amount of gas, warmed it up and changed the oil. Put the cover back on and started it up again. That's when I noticed a buzzing sound. 2 pieces were vibrating against each other. Grabbed a screwdriver and started checking the screws a little tightening here and there and the buzzing stopped. If you have the same problem check the air filter cover screw. Now the unit sounded like I was expecting! It was very quiet! All in all this a powerful, very fuel efficient and now very quiet generator. I am very pleased. I would buy it again and I highly recommend it.

Easy to run & quiet

I bought this soley for camping. I am extremely impressed with the ease of starting, but mostly with how quiet it is when running, especially in econ mode. It is so much quieter than any RV AC unit. It has an impressive console, fuel gauge, output in KW and Voltage. It even records running hours. That was unexpected. It holds plenty of gas for camping usage and is light enough to pack in and out of the back of my truck. It is a great little power supply.
