Does the job

Purchased 9 months ago for occasional use. The unit is fairly quiet, starts pretty easy and runs a long time on a tank of gas. Price was good and have used it enough to know it is dependable. I have an issue now with the spark plug cable, so will see how Westinghouse is with warranty service.

Good little generator

We purchased this generator to power our travel trailer camper when we do not have hook up. It's very light and has easy to read fuel level and draw indication. It's a little louder than I expected, but still way quieter than any generator I've used before.

Great Features

I bought this for emergency use, primarily in case a hurricane rolls through my part of Florida, but also plan on using it for camping trips. I bought two and plan on using them together to power the camper and other uses. The generator starts easily and is quiet. The features are great and I'm pleased with the purchase.

Impressive product

I purchased a month ago. Read and followed the setup and break in instructions. Added oil and gas with fuel stabilizer and it fired right up. I have used it several times during the break in with varying loads. It has performed exceptionally. Everything is accessible for easy maintenance. Well thought out design. I am very pleased with generator.

It Did It!

My new IGen2500 has plenty of power to quietly run my Fifthwheels Soft Start equipped 15k btu a/c. It easily fits in the trucks short bed with no potential hitch interference. This genny is half the weight and size of my 3500 watt used previously. Great product.

Excellent design, easy operation

I purchased the iGen2500 to get me through a couple of power outings sure to happen this winter. I’ve tested it several times and am very pleased with how quiet it is. Also the helpful LED display is easy to read and understand. I tested it in the field to run an electric hydraulic log splitter and to power a heater and a wet vac in my garage. I used the USB port to charge my phone just to make sure it worked during other tests. It is easy to start, easy to maintain, and I confidently recommend this generator.

Great Buy

I have used a Honda 2000 and 2200i for over 20 years for camping. I needed a new super quiet generator because I was having problems with the 2200i running the electronics like the camper microwave. I saw spectacular reviews on line for the Westinghouse iGen2500. I am really thrilled with the performance! It started on one pull and ran as quiet or almost as quiet as my 2200, but responds more quickly to power surges and runs everything I need including hair driers, microwaves and even AC units. With this unit I get more power at a better price for a product I consider to be as good. This product is GREAT! I highly recommend.

So quiet!

We were recently out of power and borrowed my daughter 9500 and her 2500. The noise level using the 2500 is what sold us on buying our own generator. It was powerful enough to run our refrigerators and freezers along with a light and phone accessories easily.

Great generator -- especially for camping!

My brother gave me a generator for Christmas, but it had an open frame and did not have idle control. I exchanged it for the iGen2500 and couldn't be happier. The economy mode switch allows the generator to run at a very low (quiet) idle. I bought this to run my camper and it will undoubtedly keep our batteries charged, power our accessories and be extremely quiet. I put a load on it and tested it a bit -- the idle kicked up to accommodate the draw but was still quiet. Considering it has an inverter, this is a fantastic way to create a quiet and clean stream of electricity.

Great Little Generator

I did a lot of investigation before I purchased this generator. It really paid off. I use it every time I go to Canada fishing, several times a year. It runs flawlessly. I am amazed how long it will run on a tank of gas even under a load. Plenty of power and quite portable. I really like the gauges, very helpful. So much I won't buy another generator without them. In fact I purchased a iGen4500 which I use to power my travel trailer. I highly recommend this product line.
