Started 1st pull out of box, very quit

Bought this generator for a sailboat & travel trailer. Very impressed by starting very 1st pull out of the box and is extremely quit. I was hoping it would run the AC on the trailer and sailboat. I tried running the A/C on the travel trailer but after a few tries I only got it to start once or twice, every other time it would trip the generators overload. I will purchase a soft start for the A/C units which should allow the units to run. I didn't want a larger heavier generator and this is the most powerful rated unit I could find only weighting 48lbs.

Great Generator

Very reliable. I keep up with the maintenance, follow the instructions and works perfectly as advertised. I connect a refrigerator, fan, lights and a tv with no problems, and is quite; the efficiency button reduces the noise level even more. This is the fourth generator I have bought from westinghouse. This generator meet all my requirements of price, noise, weight, fuel consumption and portability.

Outstanding Product!!!

Hey, Westernhouse nailed this one! I can't tell you how much I enjoy the Igen2600. I purchased the Igen2600 for my work trailer. The first thing I noticed was how comfortable the noise level was, and then fuel efficiency is amazing.I can run my Igen2600 all day on one gallon of gas with the power to run any hand tools that I might be using.. And it starts every time on the first pull. I totally recommend this unit.

Powerful, easy to start, and quiet.

We took the iGen 2500 on its first camping trip and it performed great. Our 1 year batteries were not holding a charge so the iGen got a workout. It started with 1 or 2 pulls everytime. It was "surgie" at first, but stopped after we used the microwave.

Starts so Easy !

Bought this to power-up my pop up camper this hunting season . Filled it with oil and gas , it was running on first gentle pull ! Wow ! Using it on and off around the house , to get the first tank of gas through it , but it isn't using much gas so it will be awhile before I'll know how long it will run on a tank . So Far so good !!!

iGen2500

Machine started right up like it should. I done the break-in run period with the generator and have ran it for a few hours so far and I works like it should. This generator will power up everything on my 20' camper with no problem. Just not everything at the same time but know that before I bought this product. Thanks Westinghouse.

Igen2500 quiet powerful good value

Temporary Power during utility outage, camping, and for power tools when in remote locations. The unit fired up in a couple polls after removing from box filling with supplied oil checking spark plug air filtera and filling with fuel. Tested it with various electrical loads including multiple shop lights electric fan and a 1 hp air compressor. Has a nice display for fuel level power level voltage an estimated runtime all nice features. Verified the voltage and frequency with a true RMS fluke meter. Voltage reading was accurate within .5 V running at 121 to 122VAC and frequency was steady at 60.05 hz under varying load conditions conditions. Unit is quite quiet and had reasonable sound level at maximum load much better than older Open frame generator. Very nice and a good value compared to much more expensive Honda and Yamaha. Time will tell if it has the same sort of durability of those units.

Great Generator!

Just used this once, but love it so far. This is a perfect fit for my pickup camper, fits in the cubby and is compact. Started on first try, and ran quiet and like a top. The only problem is it won't run my older 15,000 btu air conditioner like one of the reviews said.

This generator is designed for simplicity, easy to operate

I purchased this generator to run a sump pump and some lights when the power goes out. After shopping around, I don't think you can beat this unit for the price. It has more output than anything else in its class. The controls are very easy to understand and the manual is spot-on with details on maintaining this gem.

Very quiet and light weight

I was looking for an inverter generator that I could run a refrigerator and a few lights on when the power goes out at home. But, I didn't like the price tag of the Honda. I did my research and found that the Westinghouse iGen2500 was just what I needed and at a much reasonable price. So, I got online and bought one. I haven't had the chance to test it out on my house yet but I did run it in my shop with lights and small hand tools plugged in. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it worked and especially how quiet it was. I can literally stand one foot away from it and have a normal conversation without raising my voice. I love this generator.
