Everything we want!

I bought this about 2 weeks ago and it was delivered yesterday. It was in perfect shape, shipped very well packed in a box! Took it out and got it ready to run. Family left to go camping before school starts. Had a fan, radio/karaoke, and lights all working! Super quiet, great for the little ones after a night of singing and dancing! I would definitely recommend this generator for families on the go or just have a backup at home!

So far......so good!

This is my first inverter generator as I recently sold my extremely reliable Coleman Powermate Generator to buy this smaller more functional unit to fit my current needs and use. After much research between several comparable makes and models, I went with Westinghouse. Very simple to just add oil (provided) and fuel to get it going. First pull and she's running and super quiet even off of eco mode. Switch to eco and she just purs like a kitten on a Sunday evening. I look forward to putting this unit through its paces while camping, tailgating and other recreational use.

Nice little Generator

This is my second Westinghouse Generator my first was a 4000 watt it runs great , when my Kids found out I had a generator, one needed it for power outage then another one needed it for the same thing and being a good Father i let them use it ,so I was afraid I might need one, when they did so i bought another one , this is a smaller one lighter and much quieter one and very nice, I also recommended it to a friend.

Back up power

I bought this in case of power outages. I wanted something portable and quiet, yet with adequate power. This seems to fit the bill. After the oil and gas were added, It started after the 4th pull. I was very impressed with the noise level, I thought it was in efficiency mode but it was on full power. After a 5 minute warm up, I got out my miter saw, which is rated at 12 amps. It fired up instantly. No notable strain on the generator or the saw. I'll exercise it periodically to break it in but I'm ready for the next outage. Time will tell as far as long term reliability. But it's a good start.

quiet

I just recently purchased this and so far am happy with it. The only thing I have a concern about is the oil cap. For some reason you need to work at it to get it to screw in and the only reason I say that is if you are not careful you could easily cross thread it.

Well made and fuel efficient

The iGen2500 seems very well made. The generator ran for an amazingly long time for the little amount of gasoline I put in. The display had useful information which shows the amount of fuel left and the percentage of potential power I have consumed.

Good Generator

Received the generator today. Put oil and gas in and started on the second pull. Run it for about two minutes. Cut it off because I had it inside my garage. I recently hurt my back, so I won't be breaking it in for a while. But it sure was impressive while it was running. If all its features work as advertised, it will be a great buy. And I have no reason to believe it won't. Seems to be a great little generator.

Great Generator

I bought the iGen2500 a few weeks ago. Today I put the oil and gas in. It was so easy. The directions were very simple to follow! The generator fired right up on the 3rd pull and that was so easy as well. I am a 71 year old grandma and everything about the generator was a breeze. It is a bit heavy but I can move it around on my own.

Bonus question and quick review

Dear Westinghouse: Due to the proliferation of bad weather we've had in Louisiana this year, I decided to purchase a generator large enough to run our freezer and refrigerator in case our electricity went off. The iGen 2500 seemed to be the perfect choice for us, since it is small, easily handled by two senior adults, and would fit our needs. A generator is a major purchase for us. It took hours of watching YouTube videos to choose the best generator to fit our needs. We followed the instructions exactly as stated in the manual and the generator will be well taken care of for its lifetime. We were delighted to discover that, if we left a review, we would qualify for a generator cover. So, I immediately complied, but quickly discovered the cover was not available. This is a great disappointment because we are on an extremely limited budget. It seems to me that a company who is concerned about their reputation would be sure to produce as many covers as they produce the "Congratulations!" for free cover cards they place inside the box, or to stop shipping the generators with those cards. If the card had not been in the box, we would not have a sour taste about an unfulfilled promise. At this point, we have run the generator for several hours to break it in and have experimented with several different configurations. We like it and we think it will suit us very well. Sarah H.

sips gas, easy start

Bought a month ago. The case was cracked due to rough shipping so I called customer service. The pleasant representative offered me three options for repair. Send out a new unit, send me a new case half or have a local shop repair it for me. I chose the new case half and it arrived in under a week. I swapped it out and all is great. The iGen2500 usually starts with the first pull and powers everything on my camper except the A/C (and it will run that after I install a soft start). It uses about a quart of gas an hour under 1/2 load.
