Lite Weight and Powerful Inverter Generator

The Westinghouse iGEN2500 is equal or lighter weight than most of the 2000 Watts inverter generators that I researched but best of all it's peak output is 500 watts greater. Additionally, it is quiet as most with the exception of the Honda and Yamaha which are only slightly lower but are twice the price. Westinghouse's iGEN2500 with it's larger power is a perfect fit for my new Travel Trailer

I would recommend this generator to anyone!

I live off grid in Michigan and use my igen everyday. It's easy to start and usually fires up on one pull. I built a small enclosed wood housing for it to keep the rain and dirt off which reduces the noise even more. Although without it, you could comfortably have a conversation right next to it without having to yell. The best part about this generator is the fuel efficiency! Must have for anyone traveling or living off grid like my family.

Clean Attractive Generator

I just rec'd the generator today (3-5-18), I ordered it on 2-27-18. Initial emails said delivery would be on 3-12-18 - so it arrived a week early (I'm impressed) I have not had the opportunity to start up yet and as I will be out of town for the next several days, I will start it up when I get back on Sunday 3-11-18. I look forward to using it, and if I am able to post a follow up review, I will.

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.

Once started, ran well.

Will be using for tailgating, although we have Hurricane Irma bearing down on us now. Difficult starting now. Spark plug was screwed in very tight. Once I took it out and reinstalled, it started right up. Starts best when choke isn't fully engaged. Quieter than I expected.

Great lil inverter/generator

Ordered on 4/5; order said delivery on 4/17. Got it on 4/7!!! Absolutely spectacular device. My friend also has one, which convinced me I had to have one for my RV. Quiet as any inverters out there at about 3/5 the price. Warranty is great at 3 years. Love love love this device. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this to anyone who needs a compact investor/generator that is ultra quiet and runs like a Rolex.

Very Quiet/ Started First Pull

We have tried other generators and this one does the job. Easy to operate, and the features are great. The gauge is very helpful in knowing the status of the machine at all times. Lightweight, we were impressed with how quiet it is, started first pull out of the box and every time so far. Look forward to many years of use. My wife is able to start it and operate it !!

WORKED FLAWLESSLY - This thing is GOLD!

Power was cut for 2 days of maintenance... since I work from home I had one shot to get this right and Im glad I did. Never looked back. 1 15CF Refrigerator/Freezer 1 Chest Freezer 1 APC UPS 1500W powering 2 laptops, 1 docking station, 3 monitors, headset 2 Fans 1 Breville coffee maker At first I wasnt sure it was working.... nothing registered a load. Barely registered when the ref/Freezer kicked in but barely. Once the cappucino maker kicked in at 1800W it shot up to 50% load during the duration of the heating operation. After the cappuccino maker was done - it went back down to purring like a cat. If I had need for a second one I will buy the same one - but this one served nicely. Make sure to buy a Y cable or other converter with the proper gauge maybe 10/12

Starts easy Runs quiet So far So good

got it, added oil and gas, started first pull ran a 1500 watt space heater in the garage for 3 hours. I overfilled with gas the second tank and it would not run right after reading the manual I noticed the igen2200 has a gas tank vent. I opened the gas cap and ran till gas level was below the red marker put the cap back on and it runs great. A caution not to overfill would be helpful in the instructions

Easy to start and easy to use. Light weight and quiet.

First unit didn't function well. Les in Customer Service was very helpful and all is well. We "dry camp" a lot and use the generator to supplement our solar charging during rainy weeks like we just had and when 110v appliances are used like microwave and hair dryer.
