Quiet But Hard to start

I bought it in March of 2022. The only issue is it will take 20 to 30 pulls to start! I only use ethenol-free fuel. Handel's load well, I am able to run a 13,000btu RV a/c unit with no issues. I did 3 oil changes for the break-in. each time the oil got cleaner. The button to page through the readout is cheap and sometimes hard to get to the readout you are looking for.

We are happy to hear that the unit is working for your needs. The starting issue sounds like a spark issue. We would like to send you a new spark plug. Please go to westinghouseoutdoorpower.com and proceed to support where you can chat or open a ticket and we will get a spark plug sent to you.

Well Organized Packaging

I just ordered this item 2 days ago and it already arrived. The generator came neatly packed and well protected. The manual and warranty paperwork came in a protective sleeve. Additionally, the spark plug wrench and screwdriver came in a travel pouch as well. These are nice added touches that aren't necessary. The attention to detail is impressive.

New Westinghouse Generator Purchase

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.

Hurricane Ida

I used this generator 12 hours a day for 9 days after Hurrricane Ida. It performed as advertised with only one hiccup. The fuel cap doesn't seem to vent the fuel tank. I have to leave the fuel cap a little loose to keep the system vented. The plastic housing is a bit thin and not very sturdy.

iGen2500 Awesome

Just got it today opened it up looks very nice. Sounds good will test it out this weekend. For a longer run time. Quiet compared to others. Came with spark plug tool, small Phillips screw driver, 4 cycle 10w-30 oil, instructions and if you leave review you get a cover for it for free.

Very quiet inverter

Have used this for a little over 15 hours and have had no issues. Very quiet while in operation. Having the fuel level on the front is very helpful as well as the outputs it's producing. Keeping up with maintenance will be a breeze with the hour meter as well.

Excellent Inverter Generator With Many Features

Decided to buy the Westinghouse iGen2500 after months of research. The peak 2500 watts and running 2200 watts exceed most generators of this size. All the panel features make it easy to operate and the digital readout for fuel level, power output, voltage and time remaining monitors everything you need.

Good value

Bought this as a backup for my house when the power goes down to power the refrigerator mostly. Also may use it on my boat to charge batteries. Runs quietly and seems to do the job. When you start it for the first time, it will take a number of pulls to get it to start as apparently you need to get gasoline thru the carburetor. Then it starts easily with one pull after that.

Great features

Bought this after much review. Lance trailer ac uses 16 amps. This unit has 20 amp capacity, which is why I chose the 2500. Started first pull. The 2500 has digital readout for run time, voltage, remaining fuel level, eco mode, auto shutoff if overloaded with reset. Unit is quiet and only 50 pounds. Owners manual is comprehensive. Unit does not have a fuel shutoff outside of the off/run/choke but does have an easy way to empty carb bowl and drain gas, all included in owners manual.

All GE Generators - Brand Name Product

I purchased the GE 9500 Dual Fuel in 2020. I was so impressed with the product, instructions and its performance that I decided to purchase the iGen2500 because I did not want my electronics damaged. In Florida we get a lot of hurricanes and using a Non-Inverter generator for an extended period of time may damage your electronics. Once again, I am very impressed with this inverter, instructions, ease of use. Most importantly, you can tell about a company's good will for their customers by the time they spend to make sure you have great instructions and that everything you need is included. I rather not need this but when I needed, I know this inverter will deliver.
