iGen2500Camo - Wow!

Albeit early, I already have an impressive story on this product. Out of the box, it's incredible easy to set up... add oil and gas and your done. The directions tell you to initially gentle pull the start cord until you feel resistance. I pulled once, then twice and then on the gentle third pull the darn thing started... quite as a church mouse. Very impressive. Now time will tell on the product longevity..

Great Generator, I love the Data display

I plan on using this generator for Camping and when the power goes out at home. This Generator is a 2500 Watt Generator but it is not to heavy for me to carry. This is important to us older folks. I got the Camo model and it looks great and blends in with the out of doors

Nice generator but wished it was a little quieter

The generator is a good value, starts easily and I like the status display. The only issues are there is no hours of use display and even though it has a variable load throttle it seems a little loud even at no load. I have a sound meter and measured the sound level closer to 57 dBA at no load at the standard 7 meters (23 ft away) instead of the 52 dBA at 25% it is rated. Odd thing is that is doesn't get much loader at full load which measured 61 dBA? One issue could be is that the idle speed is set to high (it also is not running smoothly even with fresh gas) or maybe it will get quieter after break-in? After break-in if this is still happening I may take it to be adjusted.

Easy to store and easy to start

I have not used the generator yet but started it when I purchased it and was pleased with its small size and 2500 amp peak operation. It is not near as niosy as my last generator. Having been through 2 hurricaines and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I hope we never have to use it but I now feel prepared. My last generator was bigger but used fuel at a much more rapid rate. This will operate the window A/C we purchased for emergencies as well as lights and the all important coffee pot!

2500 CAMO (Awesome)

What a solid generator. Setup was easy, started up on second pull and purrs like a kitten. Just broke it in with a tank of gas and added fresh oil, it's now on standby. (P.S) there out of the free generator cover your suppose to get after leaving a review, now you just get a power strip ( woo hoo). I need a cover man...

Very quiet and light weight

I was looking for an inverter generator that I could run a refrigerator and a few lights on when the power goes out at home. But, I didn't like the price tag of the Honda. I did my research and found that the Westinghouse iGen2500 was just what I needed and at a much reasonable price. So, I got online and bought one. I haven't had the chance to test it out on my house yet but I did run it in my shop with lights and small hand tools plugged in. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it worked and especially how quiet it was. I can literally stand one foot away from it and have a normal conversation without raising my voice. I love this generator.

Good Value Generator

I purchased this generator for running a small air conditioning on a boat and as a backup generator to power essentials in my house in the event of an extended power outage. The igen2500 easily fits the bill. Its light, has plenty of power and is easy to start.

Looks and works great

This started after the first pull, and so far works like a charm. I've used a Honda 2000 as well, and noise-wise, the two are very similar. I love the digital read out telling me run time, fuel power output, etc. This is a great generator at a super price.

2200 continuous watts and a three year warranty!

This is the third brand of inverter generator I recently purchased (other two were returned unused). The first brand could not be paralleled. The second was only 1600 watts continuous. This unit is 2200 watts continuous and comes with a three year warranty!

Easy to Start

Use it on my boat to run everything at night while on anchor The generator works great I'am not happy about writing this review in order to register the unit. Registering would have been just fine without the review. On top of it, I was told I would get a cover for the unit, instead they stay the covers are not available only the power strips don't need a power strip need a cover. Again the generator starts overtime and powers everything I need it too. Westinghouse you need get better at your marketing.
