Great generator in a small package.

I purchased almost 2 months ago. Wanted to be able to plug in my refrigerators in case we ever lose power. Finally got to open the box. Right away, you can tell that it's made well. Filled up the fluids. It started up on the second pull. Plugged in a 1500 watt heater and no issues running. Of course this heater consumed over half of the available wattage that the generator puts out. The wattage consumption that this heater uses is equivalent to the 2 refrigerators and 1 freezer that I need to power in case of a power outage. A little older than I expected, especially when there's a load. Overall, very happy with the purchase. Hope I don't ever have to use it, but if I do, I'm confident that it will do the job.

Super Generator Inverter

I purchased this generator hoping it would power a few appliances if I ever lost power at my house. This generator is amazing. It ran the refrigerator, several lights and charged Multiple cell phones all without any problems. A great added feature is how quite it is while running. Thank you Westinghouse for such a great product.

Great purchase! Very Quiet!

Purchased this a week ago. The features easily beat out the competition of similar generators. Having 2 120v plugs makes a world of difference. The USB's are a big help as well. Runs very quiet and fuel efficient. Simple to use. So easy my wife can handle it with no problems. The scrolling digital read out is a big help as well.

Exceptional

I was extremely impressed with everything about this generator, iGen2500-CAMO. The user manual was well thought out, it actually has exploded views of the generator and engine, a full parts list, and the electrical schematics! The exact fill oil bottle and screw on funnel, bonus! I filled the tank, set the choke, and it started on the FIRST pull! Excited to put it under load to see how she holds up. Stay tuned.....

Fantastic, Affordable, Quiet

I am very please and impressed with this little generator. It is much quieter than traditional non inverter generators, is very affordable, and is packed full of features with the digital display system. Eco mode is perfect saves fuel, and helps reduce noise level. Overall this is a fantastic unit that I would recommend to others to purchase.

IGen 2500 #2

I just got it today. I will go through the beak in process starting tomorrow, Filled it with Oil and added gas, It started on the 3rd pull. Next week I will see how the two 2500's perform on my travel trailer. it has a 13,500 BTU AC unit. We will see how they perform. I have 64 hours on our other IGen 2500 so its ready to go, Just changed the oil, cleaned the air filter. All we have to do is add fuel!

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.

I AM VERY IMPRESSED with the igen2800c

I have been using portable backup gas gensets for 49 years in Alaska both at our home and onboard our boat. The igen2800c is by far the best quality genset I have used. The price is also a good buy as I have paid a lot more for lessor quality name brand gensets. Their design is very well thought out. It's quiet and I like the display features. So far I have found nothing to criticize!

Brighton, Mi

Great looking unit....Had issue of smell of melting plastic or rubber on initial start-up...I removed end panel at exhaust side and found a large rubber cap laying in the air intake used to cool the motor....i put the rubber cap in the end of the motor where it belonged...Don't know if any damage was caused by over-heating

Backup RV and jobsite power source

I bought this for use with our RV. It performs everything I needed it to do, while being quiet and miserly with the gas. It starts on first pull, including the initial startup! We have a built in 4k generator on the RV, but it is too loud. The iGen2500 powers the whole camper and as a bonus is portable so I also use it on remodeling jobs as a power source. I planned on getting a second one to run together, but so far the one does everything. Would definitely recommend .
