Great generator for a great price

We have waited a long time before finally purchasing a generator. We did lots of research before purchasining. This one definately is very quiet compared to other brands that we have seen out there. We will definately recommend this product to others in the market.

Nice Generator

I bought this a month ago and it is a decent unit that is portable, runs pretty quiet and decent fuel economy. Perfect for the back up, and small portable power unit I was looking for. Happy that I went with Westinghouse. I have confidence in the brand

Good Generator

Bought this to use for events and camping, but also powering the house during outages. Does the job. Only issue was that the unit did not ship with a can of oil, but instead the oil was already added. The box was factory sealed so not an open box return.

Second pull out of the box

Unpacking it took longer than filling with oil and gasoline and starting. It fired up on the second pull. I bought it for a variety of power tools but mainly to power the 13,500 BTU AC on my Oliver Elite travel trailer. I'd already installed a Micro-Air EasyStart soft start unit on the AC with plans to buy one of those red generators or the other blue one, which produce less power, cost more and have fewer features than the Westinghouse. The EasyStart was needed for those less-powerful units. But then I learned about the iGen2500 on the Micro-Air website. Micro-Air says the iGen25000 will power ACs up to 15,000 BTU with the EasyStart. So maybe it will run my 13,500 in the Efficiency Mode. My trailer is stored elsewhere so I haven't tried it yet. But so far so good. The iGen2500 looks like a well-made generator. I really like the LCD display. I just wish it showed total run hours to help with maintenance.

Great Value

This is the second iGen2500 I have purchased. I was hoping one would run the air conditioner on my camp trailer but it wouldn't do it. It apparently will need two of these units. I also purchased the parallel cord. These units run a lot quieter than my old Coleman generator but they are still a bit louder than Honda. For the price difference it is plenty quiet. Has nice features and runs a long time on a tank of gas. We camped for four days at 7000 feet and it ran everything except the air conditioner. Westinghouse makes a high altitude kit that I'm trying to find and will install in both generators because I live at 4000 feet and most use will be above this elevation.

Easy to set up and very portable

Once you unbox this unit and fill it with oil, you're set. Just select the fuel type and you'll have power. It's relatively light for the amount of power it generates. Great for keeping the fridge cool for interruptions in power or for bringing the comforts of home to the outdoors.

Lightweight and Quiet

This machine has everything! It's just what we needed for our food stand. We purchased two generators and parallel cord with gives us 5,000 peak watts and 4,400 running watts. This powers all of our fryers, heating lamps and lights. Light enough for easy transport and storage. Also it allows you to easily drain fuel and oil after use. One of the best features in my option. These Inverter's are nice and quiet. We were going to buy a Honda but decided on these and I am glad we did. They are just as powerful and quiet.

Full package

I bought this a week ago, I inspected it thoroughly before starting the break-in process. One thing I wish was in my manual was the break-in process. It's lightweight, starts on the second pull, great features. Thinking this will last me. Will be used for camping and backup refrigerator power. I bought store extended warranty on top of the great 3 year offered by westinghouse. Igen 2550 inverter.

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.

Bonus Gift

I received this inverter for Xmas 2024 and the timing could not have been better as we are expecting severe cold weather that could very well result in an outage . My wife is on a oxygen concentrator 24 hrs a day so not having power is not an option for us. The test start up went without a hitch.
