Recently took this generator with us on a back woods camping trip. It was awesome and kept our campsite going for the week we were in the wilderness. We used it primarily at night to light up our site. Relatively quieter than other generators we had used in the past. I would highly recommend this little powerful guy!!

Started with a oil change every 1/2 hour for break in. After the fourth oil change (2 hours) the old oil came out pretty clean. Decided to start the test. I have installed a Reliance transfer switch. Using the WHPC parallel cable with 1 igen2500 connected we were able to run 2 refrigerators, 1 freezer, forced air furnace, satellite TV and a few lights. The igen held all for several minutes before we slowly decreased the load. It was running for all it was worth but did better than expected. We are purchasing another igen 2500 for parallel operation at the house. We started by wanting a gen for our RV and this works great for home back up. Easy to transport for other projects. So far so good.

I have purchases two of the iGen2500 generator/inverters and thus far they are an exceptional value. Lite weight, powerful and portable are the embodiment of these units. Read the manual, follow the instructions and do the maintenance and they will not let you down.

Recently bought the Westinghouse igen2800, a necessary item in FL. Followed the first time start up menu and it fired up easily. I connect a freezer full of food and it handled the load easily. Ran it for 15 mins w/no problem. Do not know how long it will run yet but am confident since it is a Westinghouse product.

I bought this last month and was waiting for the first oil change before I left a review. So here it is...WORTH EVERY PENNY SAVED! My uncle has the Honda 2200 and he let me borrow it to camp and it would last about 7.5 hours with my setup and with it being completely filled to the top. I did my research and bought the Westinghouse iGen2500 for the extra wattage and front display(of course). With my Westinghouse iGen2500 and the same exact load, it will run for over 9 hours! I cannot sleep that long so if I fill it up before I go to sleep, there is absolutely no worry about running out of gas. I will be buying another one to run parallel on my entire house during hurricane outages.

I bought this gen for winter heat in case of power failure. It can power my furnace and outdoor wood boiler with 2 circulator pumps and use very little fuel. My large gen uses about 8 gallons for 13 hr run time. The iGen2500 will run for 40 hrs or more with both heat sources on the same amount of fuel. If I only run the wood boiler it will keep the pumps running for 10 hrs on 1 gallon of fuel! That's 80 hours on what my large gen would use, AMAZING! The iGen2500 is quieter than I expected also. I think it's a great product!!!

Purchased the iGen2500 for the "just in case" day. That day arrived 2 years later. I quickly read the start-up guide, then added the oil and gas. Hesitantly, I pulled on the cord and it started on my 2nd- 3rd pull. I turned it off, put it in my wagon and pulled it through the snow to the powerless house. I carried it up several steps and placed it on the outside porch where it easily started again. Very pleased. I avoid pull-cord tools due to my size and strength...or rather lack of size and strength! I am a 5'1'', 100 pound, senior citizen woman and found the iGen2500 not the scary and complex item I thought I was going to have to handle on an already disastrous day. Thank you.

pro's starts rite up. runs fantastic. I check the power, it is as advertised. nice-looking unit. comes with everything you need to get started with about a 15 minute set up time. the unit is made well. Cons. the only partial con is the housing rattles a bit. found this to be true with most of the competitors as well. Overall this is a fantastic unit and I will be buying another.

Arrived in pristine condition, well packed in box without too much waste to dispose. I removed the spark plug, no issues at all with it and the gap was to spec. Very small amount of gritty debris in fuel tank, but it has a filter, so no problem. Added provided oil, replaced original oil filler screw plug with previously purchased aluminum plug with a magnetic tip to collect any ferrous material floating in the oil. Turned the engine control knob to choke, pulled starter rope slowly until I could feel the compression, allowed rope to retract and then briskly pulled and motor started well before the rope was fully extended. After a couple of seconds moved control knob to run and unit runs smoothly. Power tests ok. Quiet enough. Display panel is a nice feature. Since this is purchased for emergency backup power, for better or worse, this is one of those things I hope to put on a shelf and never see again. I'll prep it properly first.

I bought this unit not knowing how to use it. My work requires remote assignments and I had never purchased a generator before. The first time I filled it with gas I was uneasy as it took a while. But the thrilling part was how easy it started and how well it performed. I am completely satisfied. I highly recommend this generator.
