iGen2500

Recieved today. I followed the directions, added fuel,checked all fittings and spark plug gap. Turned on the fuel. It started on the second pull. Not difficult to start at all. I believe even my wife will be able to start it. It is very quiet and especially quiet in economy mode. I'm looking forward to testing it out.

Quiet, simple and light.

I had an older Coleman 5500 which was overkill and way loud. I read good reviews and decided on this Westinghouse igen2500. It should work fine for a refrigerator and heater which is all we need. I just completed the break in period and it's quiet, light, simple and even the size is convenient. I look forward to putting it to the test this coming winter.

Happy Customer

Recently purchased this generator, filled the oil and fueled it up and started on the 2nd pull. Runs great and I would highly recommend this generator. I did a lot of research and this IGEN 2500 ended up at the top of my list. I think it's a real good value and looks to be a well made generator. The features were another reason I chose the IGEN 2500.

Arrived quckly and appears in perfect condition

Arrived ahead of schedule and in great condition. All accessories that were to come with generator, were in the box. Tomorrow, I plan on put it through it's paces. I will write an update after I put it through the initial break in period. Completing this review now, they are to send me a generator cover.

Great little device

I spent months looking for the right generator to add a collection of emergency preps. It was important to get something that would run my computers without blowing them up, be easily moved and easily stored. This by far stood out so I was super happy when it arrived. It worked like a dream and I feel far better prepared knowing I have instant portable power

It Did It!

My new IGen2500 has plenty of power to quietly run my Fifthwheels Soft Start equipped 15k btu a/c. It easily fits in the trucks short bed with no potential hitch interference. This genny is half the weight and size of my 3500 watt used previously. Great product.

Works

Just purchased the iGen 2500 on 8/7/21. Had a storm on 8/13/21, and lost power. Directions were really easy to put in service, used it for about 5 hours and it worked like a charm. I was able to run the fridge, 2 fans, lamp, charge my phone with no problem.

2nd pull out of box!!!

What a great unit! So many features like gas gauge,power indicators and much more. Took out of box filled with gas and oil and 2nd pull took right off. Very quiet unit and extremely well insulated for noise! I highly recommend this light east to carry unit. I will use mine in my shed for power when needed. Great to have on hand if power ever goes out.

Great little Machine

I just received my generator to use in my off grid camper. Generator started on the 5th pull and I let it run a bit... Hooked it up to the camper and everything worked. It had some trouble running my 11,500btu ac unit but my camper hasn't had electricity hooked to it in years so my ac may have been stuck, it popped the over load twice but then it struggled but did start the ac. After letting it run for a while this little machine ran it just fine.... I really think it was my ac unit being frozen or something. So far so good..... Letting it break in and then will replace the spark plug and change the oil and run full synthetic only.... Should be a good machine for my needs. It is a little louder then I had hoped, but it is what it is.

Great generator -- especially for camping!

My brother gave me a generator for Christmas, but it had an open frame and did not have idle control. I exchanged it for the iGen2500 and couldn't be happier. The economy mode switch allows the generator to run at a very low (quiet) idle. I bought this to run my camper and it will undoubtedly keep our batteries charged, power our accessories and be extremely quiet. I put a load on it and tested it a bit -- the idle kicked up to accommodate the draw but was still quiet. Considering it has an inverter, this is a fantastic way to create a quiet and clean stream of electricity.
