quiet and easy to use

I have tested my igen2500 a few times now and so far its done great. It is easy to start and is extremely quiet when running. It is the quietest generator I've ever been around. I also enjoy the LED data center. You can quickly and easily determine the status of the generator. So far, I'm very pleased with my purchase

Great features

Set up was a breeze. It came with oil, a funnel and tools. Instructions are clear. I tested it right away. I ran my French door refrigerator, vacuum cleaner and a couple of fans, all without problems. With 1.2 litters of gasoline ran over 3 hours. Capacity is one gallon (10 hrs). Digital displace is a great feature.

iGen2500 First Impression

Long time Yamaha owner. Read many reviews on this prior to purchase. Unit came on time and packaged with eveything needed except gas. Added included oil, gas and fired it up. Runs quiet and produces adequate power for our RV. Nice unit for the money. Time will tell if it turns out to be as reliable as the Yamaha, but so far its on par with the top tier brands.

Just the right amount of power for heat

I bought this gen for winter heat in case of power failure. It can power my furnace and outdoor wood boiler with 2 circulator pumps and use very little fuel. My large gen uses about 8 gallons for 13 hr run time. The iGen2500 will run for 40 hrs or more with both heat sources on the same amount of fuel. If I only run the wood boiler it will keep the pumps running for 10 hrs on 1 gallon of fuel! That's 80 hours on what my large gen would use, AMAZING! The iGen2500 is quieter than I expected also. I think it's a great product!!!

Very Quiet/ Started First Pull

We have tried other generators and this one does the job. Easy to operate, and the features are great. The gauge is very helpful in knowing the status of the machine at all times. Lightweight, we were impressed with how quiet it is, started first pull out of the box and every time so far. Look forward to many years of use. My wife is able to start it and operate it !!

Seems great

I purchased this unit due to using an older 2200 watt version at work. If this unit is as reliable as those other units, the price point and size compared to the other big 3 is a no brainer. It started right up out of the box, after adding gas and oil of course, and the sawzall i ran off the generator actually drowned out the generator noise.

Perfect size and weight/very quiet

The size of this unit, plus the claim to produce low decibels when running it caught my attention. It is easy to carry and transport by one person. It is very quiet! Hard to hear from 20 feet. The engine starts up quickly every time, easy pull start. The digital display tells you all the critical parameters in one spot, and is bright enough to read in full daylight .One nice touch is the oil fill funnel. It threads into the crankcase fill port and seals with an o-ring. Takes up very little space, yet powers two freezers and one refrigerator without a hiccup. LOVE IT!

Digital read out

I've read review after review and decided this was the best buy. The fuel gauge is a big plus. I like to know what the voltage and load is since generators was my military job. Easy starting and noise level is normal. Haven't been able rv with it yet but have loaded it with various tools around the place. Easier to carry gen than get extension cords out. I like it.

Easy to start, extremely quiet, and light

I bought it and immediately started using it to power my chainsaw and polesaw. I carry it with my trailer through out my property, starts with the first try. The instructions that came were clear and complete. Added the oil, gas and I was up and running immediately.

Powerful and quiet. Exactly what I wanted.

I recently went camping with my RV and had two dead batteries because of my own stupidity upon arrival. I fired up my generator the next morning and just about woke up any living creature within 500 yards. I knew right then I needed an inverter generator. After doing my research i was all set and ready to buy a honda eu2200i. Then I saw a video about Westinghouse generators and was intrigued. The noise and weight of the 2500 was similar to the Honda but at nearly half the price. i bought the iGen2500 and guess what, the iGen2500 powers my 15000 BTU AC unit no problem. Now I have a light weight quiet generator that is a powerhouse. I am so glad I bought this and highly recommend it. Started with one pull straight out of the box too. Buy one and try it for yourself you will not be disappointed.
