Just what I expected

This is the second model of Westinghouse generator I have purchased. I have loved my iGen2200 so much that I bought the iGen2500. The iGen2200 works great but I wanted the additional features (fuel gauge, run time, and voltage meter) that comes with the iGen2500.

Liked features offered and price for the size

Didn't have a generator. Had a power outage for 3 days. determined I really needed to get a one. So researched very long and decided on the iGEN2500. Have yet to use it but used one like it and that sold me into obtaining a Inverter generator for my future needs, living in the northeast knowing outages will come again.

2nd of 2 bought at same outperforms first

I purchased identical generators at the same time, but one runs smoother and less noisy than the other. Each has run longer following its first oil change. Neither displays the automatic rotating data numbers indicated in the user manual. When filled with fuel, each has a different number. About an hour before each generator runs out of fuel, the display reads "F00." I wouldn't call either unit quiet, but maybe they are in comparison to other generators.

Noise Level

A bit louder than stated. Perfect for very sensitive live sound, follow the instructions. After starting the generator. Make sure all sound equipment is off, plug in, turn one piece of equipment on at time, allow a about 4 seconds to stabilize the generator, turn on the next piece of sound equipment and repeat. Reverse the same when turning off. No A/C hum or statics.

Awesome Generator so far

I just bought this and it is still in the break in period. It seems to be well made and has some good features, like the data center. It provides useful info. So far I like it but it has a couple of minor improvements I would like to see. The main one is the screws that hold the cover on. I would prefer that they be 1/4 turn with a fold down wing nut design or something else that doesn't require a tool to remove. It is a bit bigger than I thought it would be and while light for a generator it is still a bit heavy.

Reliable

This is my 3rd IGen2500 and I keep purchasing them because they are reliable to run with low noise and excellent stability. I use them to provide power to my off-the-grid small one-room cabins and I can't say enough good things about the IGen2500. I even prefer them over the same size "H" generators.

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.

Just started but good so far

Should provide enough power to get by for extended outages (hurricanes) to save freezer contents, etc. Easy to follow startup instructions and it's as quiet as I'd hoped it would be. A little heavier than I'd like but not so much it's a problem. Fingers crossed that it performs to specs when needed.

Awesome Value. Lots of Features!!

The generator arrived today and I was excited to unbox and test it. Setup was easy and started on the 3rd pull. Ran it for a while to break it in and tested several different loads and it responded beautifully to the different loads. I believe it will serve us well when the power goes out at home or when we take it camping. It is so light weight and portable and sips very little gas! Time will tell but I believe this one is a winner!! Will follow up with another review once i have had it for a while.

More power without the bulk!

I currently have a generator that has 1700 running watts for ice fishing. I hangs in there but I needed something with a little more power and this fit the bill without adding any more bulk or weight from my current generator. The display on this is a great feature and added benefit you don't get with other generators. Definitely recommend this product.
