fantastic unit

pro's starts rite up. runs fantastic. I check the power, it is as advertised. nice-looking unit. comes with everything you need to get started with about a 15 minute set up time. the unit is made well. Cons. the only partial con is the housing rattles a bit. found this to be true with most of the competitors as well. Overall this is a fantastic unit and I will be buying another.

Easy start, all the features

Bought this a couple months ago. Have used it for volunteer work repainting fire hydrants. Runs the power tools and a small air compressor with no problems. Ran it in parallel with my iGen2200 during break-in, but it handles the load by itself now with no problem. Quiet, even when not in Eco mode. Really handy during temporary power outages,

Great so far

Hello, I have only had this for a week or so but did have time to test it. I purchased it as emergency (home) backup and it powered my fridge and freezer with no problems at all. Very quiet. Easy to start, one is not even sure that it is started , that is how silent it is with no load. Build seems top notch. Good instructions. Very pleased.

Great features

Bought this after much review. Lance trailer ac uses 16 amps. This unit has 20 amp capacity, which is why I chose the 2500. Started first pull. The 2500 has digital readout for run time, voltage, remaining fuel level, eco mode, auto shutoff if overloaded with reset. Unit is quiet and only 50 pounds. Owners manual is comprehensive. Unit does not have a fuel shutoff outside of the off/run/choke but does have an easy way to empty carb bowl and drain gas, all included in owners manual.

I will update this review after my unit is working

Our iGen2500 generator didn't work straight out of the box, when pouring gasoline in it poured out the bottom, so I'm guessing its missing some pieces. My husband called Westinghouse Customer Supp, they were super helpful and very responsive, so I feel 100% sure that our unit will be replaced.

All GE Generators - Brand Name Product

I purchased the GE 9500 Dual Fuel in 2020. I was so impressed with the product, instructions and its performance that I decided to purchase the iGen2500 because I did not want my electronics damaged. In Florida we get a lot of hurricanes and using a Non-Inverter generator for an extended period of time may damage your electronics. Once again, I am very impressed with this inverter, instructions, ease of use. Most importantly, you can tell about a company's good will for their customers by the time they spend to make sure you have great instructions and that everything you need is included. I rather not need this but when I needed, I know this inverter will deliver.

Has what I need.

Just got this,easy to read directions,started right up.Not quiet as loud a a push mower. Will power a 1500 watt electric heater and a few 100 watt lights. Now I am waiting for an emergency power outage to see how it stands up to several hours of constant use.

Finally a factory hour meter

I bought this a week ago and so far I love it. It's pretty quiet, has an hour meter and digital gas meter with estimated run time. The load meter is great as well. All features I feel every generator these days should have. I hope it gives me a couple thousand trouble free hours.

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 far so good

Have used once so far. Plan to use for power outages to power my fridge and a few other things. After adding oil and gas, it started right up. Plugged in my fridge and only used less than 10% of available power with fridge compressor running. Should meet all of my needs next time the power goes out.
