Great Generator!!

My IGen 2500 Westinghouse generator was deliviered today. Got it out of the box, added the enclosed engine oil, added gas and had it started in two pulls. It runs very quiet. My wife and I are set for the Spring when the storms come through and we loose power. We now can get some light back on in a hurry. We look forward to using it at the lake to work on the boat and travel trailer. It will help us out when we need power quickly and quietly!

Long Runtime, Helpful Display

Will run for up to 12 hours on minimal load (<400 watts). The digital display is very helpful, no more guesswork! Runs a little louder than my equivalent Honda, maybe the same decibels, but sounds a little rougher versus the Honda's hum. Took several pulls, but was able to start and run without problems at 5* f the other day. At about 30 hrs runtime and so far so good!

Very nice little generator!

Bought this during the summer of 2022 for camping, but never took it out of the box until Hurricane Ian left us without power for 13 days. Worked flawlessly and was super quiet compared to all the neighbors running their contractor generators. Very happy with this little generator.

Efficiency Mode will not operate AC

The iGen 2500 was purchase two months ago. My RV is equipped with a 15000 BTU air conditioner with soft start that will draw 13-14 amps on compressor start up. With the iGen 2500 set on efficiency mode it will only operate the air conditioner fan. When the compressor starts, the iGen2500 disconnects the load, and then must be shut down to be reset. The manual states on page 16 under Using Efficiency Mode, "Efficiency mode should be used only after the inverter has been warmed up to operating temperature." And then states, "As a load is applied, the inverter will sense the load and engine RPM will increase according to the load applied. The second statement is not true. If the iGen 2500 will only operate a air conditioner at maximum power and speed, then it has an "efficiency mode" that is useless.

Quiet Powerhouse

I just unboxed, set up, and operated the unit for the first time. Initial reaction is quite positive. Unit started on first pull and ran quietly compared to traditional generators, especially when I placed the unit into efficiency mode. I bought the unit for camping and quiet operation is essential.

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.

Quiet generator

The generator was a gift, bought for camping in remote areas. The packaging was very good, the generator arrived in perfect condition. Followed the instructions prior to start up and it was very easy. Haven't taken the generator out camping yet but expect do so very soon. Try the generator on a variety of electrical items here at my house and it has worked just fine.

Compact / Light

I bought this to replace a bigger older gen. It is just what I was looking for. Runs quit and weight is 48lbs. Tested out on my camper and will give it a better test when I can run the AC ( AC has a soft start on it) and see how it works then. Others have said they work great. Mr. Hess

Great for Tailgates / Easy to Put into Operation

Perfect for tailgating and camping. The instructions are easy to understand and everything you need (except for gas, of course) is in the box to get this generator started. About the only recommendation I have is get a grounding stake and cable to prevent power spikes caused by static electricity. A great little generator.

iGen2500

I bought this over the summer after the ice/snow storm in January 2021. Our power went out last night and this morning I unboxed the generator. Initial setup was easy and the generator started right up. I now have my two refrigerators up and running and also made coffee. The generator is surprisingly quiet. The digital display is great as I can tell exactly how much power each device uses. This will help me plan my load usage so I don't overload the generator. Great product!!!!
