Awesome new unit!

I upgraded from an i2400 Explorer to this unit for the digital display mostly, didn't have an issue with the Explorer. That said I only have a few hours on this new iGen2500, but so far it runs like a champ. Started up with only a couple pulls and ran loads between 500 and 2000 watts with ease. Extremely quiet, especially on the lower loads and idle with the eco mode turned on. I very much like the redesign of this unit.

This is an amazing Generator, love it!

Love the color, the power, it runs quiet. Moving from a Honda 2000 to the iGen 2500 Westinghouse was a bit of a change for me. I am so glad I did, this has more power, runs just as quiet and it only weighs 48 lbs, this to me is a superior generator. I am sold on the iGen 2500. Buy it you will not be disappointed.

Looks Good

I bought this last summer for my RV and was a bit disappointed that it will not power my AC. I did some research and was sure it had enough power but it doesn't. I have not really used this other than to check to see if it would power the AC. It does run quiet and has enough power to do anything else I need on the RV.

Quiet and Powerful

Followed the directions for oil and gas fill, and it started in less than a complete pull. After warm up, I connected several different devices, and it worked perfectly. Seems like just the right mix of power, portability and efficiency for my needs.

Great Small in Size but Huge in Output Generator

We needed a single easy to carry generator that could start our A/C on our RV. This guy can do it. At 2500 watts and 18.3 amps, you can get that A/C started in combination with an Easy Start on your A/C. It starts easy, maintenance is a breeze, even has two USB ports. We love the display which gives us all the information we need to ensure we are operating smoothly.

Looks like I chose the right company and product

After days of research and youtube videos, I made the decision to choose this inverter generator. All of my research seems to have paid off. After purchasing it today, I took it home and got started with the "Quick Start Guide." I filled the unit up with fresh non-ethanol gasoline. Nice looking unit I said to myself once I got it ready to start. The unit started up right away on the first pull. Quite quiet. I think this is going to be one of my best purchasing. It ran my dewalt 15 gallon, 5 amp air compressor at around a 75% rating of it's power output.

Perfect for Hurricane Maria, Quite Satisfied,

Generator was delivered today. Ran it in for 30 minutes to check operation. Operated flawlessly. Ran my table saw - it used 25% of the generator's capacity. The LED info panel is great! It's good to have that information. Let it run out of fuel and drained the carb float bowl - the drain valve and hose are a really nice touch. This is our hurricane generator. Hopefully, we'll never need it again.

quiet and easy to use

I have tested my igen2500 a few times now and so far its done great. It is easy to start and is extremely quiet when running. It is the quietest generator I've ever been around. I also enjoy the LED data center. You can quickly and easily determine the status of the generator. So far, I'm very pleased with my purchase

Paralleling works great

After firing up both iGen2500's in parallel, I Plugged in two 1500 watt heaters. Efficiency Mode switch's on. Both gens slightly rev'd up together with both gen's showing only 50% load. Only one small complaint, the threads on plastic Gas Cap were too tight on one of the generators. I think a little quality control was missed here. The cap should free spin all the way down till the last quarter turn then click tighten. This cap has too much friction from start to tight.

QUIET COMPACT AND POWERFUL

AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND MANY REVIEWS, I CHOOSE THE WESTINGHOUSE IGEN2500 AND IT IS BETTER THAN EXPECTED. THE UNIT IS STURDY AND SEEMS TO BE WELL BUILT. IT STARTS EASILY AND IS QUIET ENOUGH TO HAVE A NORMAL CONVERSATION NEXT TO IT. I HAVE USED OTHER GENERATORS THAT WERE SO LOUD YOU HAD TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE YARD TO TALK. IT IS RELATIVELY LIGHT WEIGHT AND EASY TO MOVE. IT IS ALSO POWERFUL ENOUGH TO RUN THE NECESSARY APPLIANCES DURING A POWER OUTAGE.
