Great Backup

After many hurricane seasons without a back up Generator, I decided to purchase this one ahead of this year's season. I was able to send it to family in the mountains of North Carolina who were impacted by Helene, and it worked great for them. Easy to use and reliable, exactly what I'm looking for in a backup generator. I look forward to using it for camping as well.

Started right up!

I just took it out of the box and added oil and gas.....started up on second pull. Very quiet at start up. Checked with voltmeter, looked good. Hooked up a small heater with 600, 900 and 1500 watt setting. Let run several minutes on each setting and now I'm going to drain the oil and add new oil just to be safe. But I'm very pleased so far!

Runs like fine Swiss watch

The Igen 2500 Arrived in perfect condition. Added the supplied oil and and a small amount of ethanol free gas, and it started on the second pull and ran like a fine Swiss watch. I can carry this inverter generator easily with one hand and wow, it's quiet and smooth and uses very little fuel. It's a winner.

Relatively light weight; very fuel efficient

We bought this to run a pump to pump water out of a flooded basement. We were able to hook up 2 pumps at a time so it really made the process much quicker. We will be using it to provide light to do the clean-up process in the days to come. Our one complaint was trying to find the serial number to put on the registration form. We found the number when we read it on the box the inverter came in. The number was on the inverter, but as the qpc code, not mentioned as serial number.

Looks Good

I bought this last summer for my RV and was a bit disappointed that it will not power my AC. I did some research and was sure it had enough power but it doesn't. I have not really used this other than to check to see if it would power the AC. It does run quiet and has enough power to do anything else I need on the RV.

Nice little unit

I am happy with this purchase. I wanted a small, quiet and easy to use generate to run a few things at the cottage if my power went out. I also wanted one that was an inverter and dual fuel because I prefer to run off a propane tank, as propane tanks can also be used for the BBQ so the fuel doesn't go stale! This one does all of these well. It took me a little while to get it started for the first time but I was able to do so with propane. The trick for mine was to prime the propane with 4 presses, pull the recoil a couple times with the choke out, and then close the choke three-quarters, and pull the recoil a few more times. I've run it a few times now to break it in, totalling about 4 hours.

Quiet, powerful, priced right

Great little generator for emergency purposes. Bought this to replace a very large generator that was way to much for our needs during an emergency. Who really needs to light up the whole house during a true emergency situation? I need something that is quiet, sips the gas and can easily be secured. This things fits the bill perfectly. Less expensive and more powerful than the Honda with a longer warranty. Seems like a no brainer. Great reviews everywhere you look.

Awesome!!!

I was quite sad when my Onan in the motorhome died. I shopped around extensively and, after comparing prices and reviews, I decided on the iGen2500. This is an awesome generator. It fires up my motorhome's AC with ease. It also works great with my house LG refrigerator. I trust the Westinghouse name as much as Honda (and definitely more than all of the off brands out there). Looking forward to many years of use, and even the next power outage.

Started on the Second pull!

Was so glad to finally get this 2,200 running watt generator to use with our 5th wheel.I had already installed a Micro Air Easy Start on our 13,500 BTU air conditioner so I would not have to deal with my 3,500 watt generator weighting in at 114 pounds in the back of our truck. As soon as it got here I read the instructions, filled the oil, filled the gas and it started right up (on the second pull). Let it warm up for a few minutes then plugged in the 5th wheel.Then went inside and turned on the air and let it run for a hour and half. The generator never missed a beat it just kept cranking out the watts! Looking forward to some great boon docking this summer. Thanks Westinghouse for a great product.
