RV 13,500 BTU A/C

The iGen2500 runs my camper RV 13,500 BTU A/C. With nothing else running, all the breakers off, and the engine warmed up the generator would take everything it had to start the A/C before the hard start capacitor was installed in the A/C unit. After the Hard start capacitor (Supco SPP6) was installed in the A/C would start no problem.

Easily meets my cruisng needs

Purchased this generator for my boat which has a 4.2 KW diesel generator that too often malfunctions. I have run my two highest load appliances (water heater, microwave) simultaneously putting only a 75% load on the iGen 2500, thus easily meeting my cruising needs. Weight is light enough to move around the boat and store without a problem. Very quiet and the "Efficiency Mode" is greatly appreciated--producing only the energy needed. At the power capacity level, design, and price point I believe this product is a great value.

Great Value

I have only had the iGe2500 for a day, but I did give it a good test with various loads up to 1600W. It started easily and performed very well. I hope it maintains its performance level over time. The engine idle was not quite a smooth as I would have liked, but is no worse than my Honda EU2000i. I love the meter which shows power, voltage, fuel level and remaining run time. I verified the voltage reading against a very accurate meter and it was correct within 0.1V, which is quite good. This unit is a great value, especially since it provides more power than the comparable alternatives.

Started up on the first pull

The inverter started up on the first pull. The box arrived through the USPS in great condition (no damage). Once unpacked, I filled the crankcase with oil, turned the knob to the choke position and gave it a pull. It started on the first pull. The inverter ran great and was nice and quite. The build quality, the materials used and the fit and finish are great. At this point I am very happy with this purchase.

So Far Ok

I wanted a suitcase style generator to power my 15K Dometic AC in our travel trailer. I also purchased a Micro Air 364 to cut down on start up loads and it powers the AC! But...there seems to be an issue during the heat of the day. Westinghouse is working with me under warranty, I'll update with any more info. The LCD display is nice, but if you fill up the fuel to FULL the fuel gauge doesn't work until you run it for a while. One one tank of fuel it ran for five hours powering my AC.

Easy to store and easy to start

I have not used the generator yet but started it when I purchased it and was pleased with its small size and 2500 amp peak operation. It is not near as niosy as my last generator. Having been through 2 hurricaines and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I hope we never have to use it but I now feel prepared. My last generator was bigger but used fuel at a much more rapid rate. This will operate the window A/C we purchased for emergencies as well as lights and the all important coffee pot!

Bought after much research, most powerful and priced right!

Just purchased this generator. Added oil and gas, started up with first pull! Everything was packaged just as advertised. Much quieter that standard generators. Intend to use for camping, and I see not reason that a five star rating will not be warranted after actual use. Satisfied so far!

quieter than expected

I purchased this generator in case of a power outage if we get a hurricane. setup was easy. Started right up. Quiet! Ran it under load and I love the amp meter display showing the load. I can test check all that I want to run prior to having to use it in an emergency.

Very simple to start easy maintance and very reliable.

This gen 2500 watts is awesome and is what I needed. Its very light to carry and it turns on my refrigerator fans and charges my phone with no problem. Very good on gas and las alot. I took this gen to my parents in Puerto Rico and they are super satisfied and happy with the product. Thank you Westinghouse for the support and the customer service is very helpful.

iGen2500 is great to backup your Fridge + some appliances

I bought two of these generators recently (one for me and one for my Mother In-law and just tried one of them out in my garage. They are very, very quiet and seem to power up my appliances pretty good with no outages. I believe they will easily provide back-up power to a refrigerator and some appliances such as a television, fish tank pump, and such. They are only 2200 Watts steady power so you shouldn't expect them to power up much more than what I stated above.
