HOUSE BACKUP

Purchased this model after doing much research. After receiving the IGEN2500 filling with oil provided, I started it and was happy with the noise level, 2500 peak watts is enough to keep my refrigerator, oil furnace, sump pump, lights and TV on during an outage. I also like the digital readout, remaining run time, power output, voltage, and lifetime hours. It wont run everything, but it is portable, quiet, fuel efficient, and that's what I wanted.

Great queit generator.

We bought this generator for camping and as a backup for a few home appliances in case of a power outage. It has exceeded our expectations. Easy to start, quiet running, and extremely fuel effecient. It is light and can be easily carried by one person.

Pretty but won't start yet

Bought igen2500 and it came within a few days. No visible damage. Smooth fulfillment process. Even includes the oil. However, it will not start, which is frustrating with a new product. Customer service asked me to test spark plug, which I still need to do with the help of a second set of hands. Fingers crossed.

Great Packaging and Features!

We are stoked to see what this generator can do. At this price point and size, we were excited to make this purchase. We have not ran it yet, but everything down to the security and organization of the packaging makes us think we will have no issues. (If so, Westinghouse offers a great warranty, just be sure to register your device upon purchase)

Nice little generator

I bought this as a backup for house as well as camping. It started on first pull and continues to start easily. It is louder than I was hoping, too much so for camping near others. "Super quiet" as stated is not as quiet as I expected. However, I would definitely buy again.

Good start

I found it easy to ad oil and start for the first time. It was nice to have the funnel, oil and spark plug wrench included. The quick guide really made it simple to get it up and running without having to thumb through the owners manual. I like the gauges because they give information to keep track of levels. The air filter cover was not on correctly so it required unscrewing and getting it lined up correctly. Thus the 4 star.

Nice portable generator

I wanted a small generator for worksites that was portable and quiet. So far, so good. Nice size and weight, and quiet when not under load. Not particularly quiet when powering a power tool, but then the noise of the tool is more than the generator. Haven't tried full load because I'm still in the break-in period, but it seems to power up quickly and effectively as needed. Only flaws so far is that it takes a few more pulls to start than I'd expect, and access to the oil fill requires removing the side cover, but this seems to be common with this form of generator.

A necessity during long outages

Love this little generator. Small enough to be easily portable, but powerful enough to do its job. Easy to use, great features. Our power went out for an extended amount of time due to an ice storm, and it was such a relief to have our chest feeezer and garage fridge running and not lose all our food.

Quiet, great value and features

I just received the generator and everything needed was included in the package, including oil. It fired up on the second pull and ran smoothly. After the initial startup, it fired up on the first pull every time even after cooling down. It is incredibly quiet, especially on eco mode. The digital readout is especially handy to see how much runtime is left at current power draw. This runs my slide-in camper with plenty of power to spare.

Excellent Product, Great Value

The iGen2500 receives 5 stars as it it truly an excellent generator for the price. The documentation coming out of the box was very high quality and easy to follow. After reviewing the instructions, I filled it with oil and gas. It started on the first pull and is now "purring" away in my back yard. As with other reviewers, I am impressed with the quietness of the generator, and it will be a welcome addition to my camping experience from her on out.
