Excellent Generator

Very versatile and quiet. This model far exceeds my expectations. A real workhorse that does what it says as long as you read and understand the owners manual. Maintenance guidance in the instructions is also helpful for keeping unit functioning properly. It has beaten my previous generators as far as quiet running. Old 64.7dbl vs iGen2500 52.4dbl (running around approximately 25%. I'm planning to purchase a 2nd to parallel with. I highly recommend this model iGen2500.

Ultra quiet

Great little generator. Runs smooth and quiet. Control panel is easy to read and very helpful, let's you know clearly how much power your using. Very portable. Thinking about getting another one to run in parallel. There are advantages to having two smaller generators versus one big. Recommend.

Just the right size....

Just received this unit. It was packed very well and the setup instructions were spot on. Unit cranked with the first pull and ran well. Not eager for a power outage but am eager to give this unit a real test during our next power concern or camping trip.

Better than expected

I bought this in 2021 after the great Texas Snowtastrophe. Finally got it up and running in literally less than 10 minutes. So far so good. It's quieter than I thought it would be. And I REALLY like the digital display with all the useful info. Wish it had a slightly larger fuel tank though. Hope this helps!

Excellent generator

I just got this generator and I am very impressed with it. It starts easy, is super quite, and has a great run time. I really like the information electronics on the front of the generator. I am considering buying a second iGen2500 to have the capability to run in parallel and double the output.

The iGen2500 runs as advertised

I bought the iGen2500 generator in August 2021 for power backup during hurricanes and the occasional cold snap! I followed the instructions in the User Manual and the engine fired up on the second pull. After a warmup, I tested several different loads (refrigerator, freezer, drill, fans or small space heater) one at a time. The iGen2500 tested perfectly! Following the recommended break-in, I changed the oil (now using 10W-30 full synthetic) and put a heavier load (refrigerator and freezer) on the generator. With ECO MODE turned “on” the generator handled this load just fine.

Satisfied Customer

I bought this 6 months ago for just incase I needed it. Hurricane Ida left many in LA without power for many days and weeks. My generator performed flawlessly and powered my refridgerator, 2 fans, TV and DVD for 3 days running 10 hrs on a full tank of gas as advertised. Gas was extremely hard to find for a few weeks after storm so I was spared having to use what gas I had looking for more. I am well pleased with my purchase.

Easy to start

After unboxing and adding oil and gas, the generator started on the second pull. I shut it down and then easily restarted it on the first pull. It's reasonably quiet, but not as quiet as I had hoped. It's light enough for my wife to carry, so that's a definite plus.

iGEN2500C is small yet packed with features.

I just purchased this Westinghouse iGEN2500C and found it to be packed with features that are only found in larger Inverter Generators. Easily started, monitors carbon monoxide to automatically shut itself down and displays all the important output power and fuel consumption parameters.

Easy start, light weight

I have not used this generator yet for the purpose for which it was bought. But I have started a break-in process. In preparation for the purchase I did a little research on what others had done to break in a generator like this. They had suggested that after adding the oil that you slowly pull the start cord to turn over the engine to get the oil distributed a bit. Well I did that and I could not believe the generator started on the 3rd pull. I was only pulling enough to slowly turn the engine over. I was by no means giving it the typical pull to start a small engine. I was impressed.
