So far reliable, quiet, easy to transport

I've used it for multiple track days running tire warmers and my AC, a friend has used it to operate portions of his house this winter during a multi-day outage and it's just worked. I'd like to see just a bit longer surge capacity as my AC is a bear to hot start but that's not the generator's fault. My only operational issue so far is the fuel level float arm either doesn't have enough bouyency or there is too much drag on the setup. I have to use a bent wire to pull the float up with each fill up, it reads the falling tank level fine but doesn't reset on it's own when you top off.

compact power house

I bought two of them, to be able to use them separately, or parallel for power supply. Both easy to run, transport and maintain. Also very quiet, compared to other generators. It should say where to obtain the parallel cords. Overall very happy with the product!

Easy to operate.

I got this inverter generator because of the spec. I needed for my 2 refrigerator and cellphone charging in case of power outage. It quieter than the traditional generator. I love how easy it is to operate. when it arrived, I fill in the oil then gas, turn on the switch to choke, pull once,switch to run, pull again and it started working. I happy that it is so simple to operate. I've plug in my fridge and it's running like normal and the display is very helpful.

Good generator priced right

I borrowed a friend's H***a portable generator and thought I'd like to have one. Sam's Club put one on sale and the price was so much less than my friend's. It started on the first pull and was much quieter than expected. I like all the features that I can scroll through in the digital display. I've had it a year and a half and am pleased with my purchase.

Super Quiet

This Generator is amazingly quiet for the size and power it puts out - I used it to power my boat's ac system when my onboard generator went out and it not only supplied more than enough power for it but was super quiet while doing it to let me sleep peacefully

Impressed so far.

Impressive features on this unit. The user manual, display, ease of starting just to name a few. Nice that the oil with funnel and spark plug wrench are all included. Instructions on set up are clear and easy to follow. After the set up it took about 3 easy pulls to start. At normal idle I thought it sounded louder than I thought it would be.My phone app sound meter showed a fair amount higher than the 52db advertised level. However on eco mode it is way more quiet. Can't speak to long term use or reliability yet but so far I really like it.

Great liitle unit at a great price.

Having used a Honda for a while I can say this IGEN2500 is not that much louder and a lot more powerful. Unit started on first pull. Overall very happy with the build quality and purchase. Looking forward to using it in the Grand Tetons this summer. Btw the Honda was shared between two brothers so I decided to get myself my own and went with the Westinghouse iGEN2500. We all agree it's a nice and quite unit!

Excellent Product

I recently purchased this generator/inverter for use on my boat when I am not connected to shore power. I does an excellent job at operating the heater, coffee pot and lights. If you need a small but powerful generator I would defiantly recommend the iGen2500.

Better than expected

I bought this in 2021 after the great Texas Snowtastrophe. Finally got it up and running in literally less than 10 minutes. So far so good. It's quieter than I thought it would be. And I REALLY like the digital display with all the useful info. Wish it had a slightly larger fuel tank though. Hope this helps!

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.
