Easy to Use

Bought 2 after I retired 10/01/2021. Didn't use until 3 days ago when the power went out. After hour 6 I went to the barn and got out one out of the box. Twenty minutes later the Frig and Freezer were back to normal temps. Set the other up 15 minutes later.

Easy starting, lots of power for a camper.

This is for our camper. Previous unit would only run the ac. This igen2500, at the same weight and size, runs the ac cool, ac heat strip and microwave all from the economy idle setting. Really pleased with this purchase and look forward to setting up camp.

Running two in parallel

Just completed break in and changed oil to Mo***1 5W30 on these two iGen 2500's.Used recommended Westinghouse power/parallel power cord adapter. Plugged in my 32' motorhome auxiliary cable. Ran everything including AC unit, fridge, water pump as needed and two flat panel TVs with aplomb. These are impressive units. As quiet as any red comparable size gen. Inverter is definitely way to go. It's so great having choices of high quality generators in this class for literally half the price... I previously reviewed this unit as a single unit, first impression. Now that I've run these in, almost anxious for a reason to use them.

IGEN2800

Purchased this generator after borrowing the same model during a power outage. Used to power our refrigerator, freezer and pellet stove. We were happy with the ease of operation so ordered one for ourselves. Started up for a while to start the break-in process. Happy with this purchase.

I would recommend this generator.

Great product easy to use generator. Incredible fuel efficiency a full tank can give you up to 15 hours at 50% load. I am really impressed with it. After many comparisons with other inverters on this power range I select this generator and I am extremely satisfied.

Seems like a nice product

I have not used it yet. Instructions are well written and easy to follow. Unit looks Nice and fairly simple to operate. Wish it had a 12v outlet for battery charging. Spark plug access cover could be a bit larger. I think it will be a good item to have for emergencies and dry camping

So far so good

i just purchased two of these little beasts. They are super easy to start. I purchased them to use side by side for a horse trailer with living quarters since camping with horses is rustic 99% of the time. Once I have used them I will try to come back and leave more feed back. They are pretty light weight for invertors and I can pick them up without too much difficulty. (I'm a senior female)

Backup power inverter generator

Awesome products by Westinghouse. Instructions are very clear and started up on the 2nd pull. 1st pull thereafter. I got this little baby to run during the night in case of a power outage - to keep noise level low and reduced wattages while sleeping. I also have the WH7500 which I had for 5 years now and always started. Do your maintenance and testing throughout the year and you will be good to go! Another satisfied customer.

Initial quality and power seem great!

I bought this gem after borrowing another generator that didn’t quite have enough power. This thing didn’t struggle at all with the loads I have given it so far. I knocked one star off because the instructions for opening the side to fill the oil were vague and upon opening the side panel a clip snapped off. Would be nice to have a little more detail so as not to man handle the plastic cover.

Right unit for the money.

So far shipping, timing, and initial try out have been what I'm looking for for easily putting on the van to use when power is needed. Tried out with one of our largest drills and supported the power so far with no load. Pretty confident it will handle working under a drilling load as well. The price for what you get makes it worth while.
