Fantastic, Affordable, Quiet

I am very please and impressed with this little generator. It is much quieter than traditional non inverter generators, is very affordable, and is packed full of features with the digital display system. Eco mode is perfect saves fuel, and helps reduce noise level. Overall this is a fantastic unit that I would recommend to others to purchase.

So Far so Good

I've had the 2500 for about a month or so and I'm pleased with it's performance. The operating instructions were clear and the maintenance points are well covered. I like that the igen is compact and portable. It will be handy during hurricane season.

GREAT INVERTER

I BOUGHT THIS UNIT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN A JOY TO WORK WITH. IT STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY EVERY TIME. IT MEETS ALL MY EXPECTIONS AND AM VERY PLEASED. I CHECKED MANY OTHER BRANDS AND CHOSE WESTINGHOUSE WITH THEIR NICE WARRANTY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE iGen2500 inverter.

works well

Bought for intermittent emergency use during power outages in CA to operate fridge, washer, dryer, microwave, etc. Starts easily like a lawnmower after several pulls. Grounding recommended was not given guidance in manual, so fastened a length of electrical wire from the grounding nut on the generator to a steel post driven into the ground. Due to weight of generator, it's stored on a small furniture dolly for rolling. Runs quietly and is compact. Easy to maintain. Happy with it.

Performs

Purchased a few weeks ago for emergencies and to power small equipment. Thus far the unit has performed well at a good sound level. Unit is heavy but manageable; it starts with 2-3 attempts max. We may be adding an extra unit for increased capacity in the future.

Smooth starting and quiet

Just purchased this generator couple of weeks ago and what a treat to see this my first generator turn on on the first pull. Just as advertised after reading all previews about the performance of this unit. I'm also impressed how quiet this iGen2500 runs, now I'm ready for any power outages.

Compact, Quiet Generator at a Good Value

I bought this a couple weeks ago for the hurricane season. As advertised, it is very quiet (for a generator), particularly when running at low load in efficiency mode. Simple to operate and set up. I also like that it can be moved around easily with the carry handle--it's not too heavy. If you don't need a huge amount of power, this seems like a good option.

Great design and features

The iGen2500 has a lot of great features and performs very well. The load indicator and estimated run time are very nice. Digital display makes it easy to monitor the generators output and exactly how many watts are being pulled. It starts very easily and the efficiency mode switch allows it to be very quite when it doesn't have a large load on it. Perfect for camping in the woods or outside party where you don't want a lot of noise. Highly recommended.

Great Little Generator

I bought this for an upcoming travel vacation and needed a fairly quiet small generator. I found this online and decided to give it a try. When I received the generator I was a bit worried because the box had some physical damage and I hoped that it didn't hurt the generator. After unboxing I was relieved to find that the generator was in great shape. I followed the startup instructions and within a few minutes had the generator up and running. It was not quite as quiet as I thought, but compared to another generator I have it is very quiet. I later found out it is much quieter than other units friends of mine have. The unit starts up first time, display panel and controls are well marked and usable. I ran a few items with the generator to test its capabilities and everything worked with no loading of the generator. Overall, this is a great little generator. May get another one to run in parallel in the near future!

Got us through 2 weeks with no power.

We used the Igen2500 for 2 weeks after hurricane Ida. We powered 2 refrigerators, 2 fans, 2 phone charges, a PC, cable modem and wi fi router periodically during the day and all night ,overnight on just 2 gallons of gas per day. Saved us as we did not know when gasoline would be available.
