Easy to start,Manual easy to understand

I am on the road for most of the year and will be using it for an air conditioner (summer) and heater for the winter. Given what I paid for it as opposed to $3-4000 in hotel bills it has paid for itself already. As time goes by i will be trying various other equipment as well and only then will I see how it holds up. I did a bit of research prior to buying the generator and this fell into the amp range and price range. I thought it would be lighter but I will get used to it

IGen 2500

Great Customer support. Until was re-called and after reregistering on-line, I was contacted stating since there were no repair close to my house so they sent me out a replacement, This was done prior to return of the unit I had so I could use the packing from it to send the other one back. Westinghouse also paid for shipping back. I have only used the generator a few times but has performed without any issues so far.

Excellent Product

Just received my Westinghouse iGen 2500. It fired right up on the first pull. I was surprised how quiet the unit was compared to my Sportsman 4000 open frame generator. The iGen 2500 is light weight, yet feels solidly built. I am eager to start using this on my families camping trips. The ease of use, price, weight, and low noise output make this a super good value, especially when compared to the Honda generators. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a solid inverter generator!

Optimistic

Purchased it to power my home that has frequent outages. I am an ex electrician and after much research decided that this unit has superior features. Received it and have been traveling for work. I have not had any outages yet so I have not even taken it out of the box yet. Westinghouse sent me a recall on this unit due to a fire problem. I am happy that I have not had to use it yet.

So Far so Good

I bought the generator to use with my RV camper and it arrived just in time for a March 2 Nor'easter in PA where I lost house power for 2 days. After adding oil and gas, it started on first pull. It is quiet at 25% load or less but much more noticeable above that. I have no previous experience with other inverter generators to compare noise levels though. I ran it 20 hours and changed oil. Oil was moderately dirty, nothing I took exception to. Added Mobil 1 oil and ran another 8 hours with no issue. So far I'm happy with my purchase.

Looks good right out of the box

I purchased two IGEN2500 with the parallel cable as a multi-use backup power system. I can use these for powering tools while working on my boat, for camping, etc. The parallel system plugs right into my transfer switch when I need it. I spent a lot of time researching inverter generators before I settled on these. I'll update this review as I learn more.

Great buy for the money

We needed a generator with a 2200 watt run time for our RV, this generator was perfect. I filled the oil, added some gas and to my amazement it started on the first pull. The other thing I love is how quiet it is, I knew it was quiet but couldn't believe how quiet until I got mine. This is a GREAT buy.

Powers everything in my camper!

Just tested the igen2500 on my 23 ft camper, runs the 13,500 a/c unit on low at 50% power and on high at 75% power. Will run the refrigerator and a/c at the same time with the tv and some lights on. I did try to run a 1hp air compressor with it just to see if it would... ran for a fews seconds then went into overload. Very silent when idling with 0-25% load, gets a bit louder as load increases more than 50%. Very portable and easy to carry around, 3 year warranty cant go wrong with this gen. I would buy again.

A great generator from a great company

This review is for the Igen2500. First of all, let me say that I have been using this generator only for about a week, but I have been putting it through its paces every way I know how. I've been running it nonstop for hours and hours, I've been using the air conditioner on my RV, I've been cycling things on and off from no load to full load and just running the heck out of it as much as I can to make sure I got a good one. Besides that I have been pestering them relentlessly through email and conversations and they have been so nice every step of the way. Every question I have had for them regarding this generator and how it works and if certain things are normal they have responded to either by email or asking for my phone number and calling me right back and have just been wonderful. I have talked to customer service, I've talked to sales, I've talked to engineering and I have been pleased with everything. The generator runs like a charm, I don't know how Honda's run when it comes to generators but I have one of the nicest Honda mowers that they make. This runs every bit as well as my Honda lawnmower. It puts out enough power to turn on my air conditioner on my RV with nothing else and that's 13500 BTUs. If I pay attention to what's drawing power there's nothing in my camper I can't run with just this one generator, and as soon as I can I'm going to buy another so that I can parallel because I know I'll have plenty of power. If you're looking for a generator and customer support is important to you, then buy this generator. I have had questions about the voltage it puts out, about how hot the exhaust gets, about the lights on the display, and I have been told every step of the way exactly why it does everything it does and that if something goes wrong they will fix it or replace it and that they'll make it right. I just can't express enough how well they do customer service. I would give 20 Stars if I could.

Light weight easy starting power.

After I lost the entire contents of my refrigerator during our last power outage I needed a generator. The iGen2500 easily powers my refrigerator, freezer and sump pump with power to spare. It starts easily and is extremely quiet. This is the perfect generator for my needs.
