Power in a small package!!

I chose the iGEN2500 because of the extra wattage in a unit of the same size and weight as units with lesser wattage. Unpacked the iGEN added gas and oil, and unit started on second pull. Have used it on varying loads and performs very well. Not as quiet as the much more expensive Honda but........I've got more available watts!! Very pleased, just wish the cover was still available!!

Surprised about the quick start. One pull started right up.

Tested it out on my Refrigerator in the garage. Ran smooth & quiet in Eco. Mode for10min. No problems. Would definitely refer a friend to buy. I bought the 2500 might get another. 48 pounds is easy to handle and move around.Great product from Westinghouse keep up the good work.

It does the job

I was a little nervous about the start up, but it comes with plenty of clear instructions. The start up was easy and it does the job I needed it to do. Not as quiet as I would like, but significantly quieter than my big generator. We're using it for our teardrop camper, so we can have A/C in the hot Texas summer. We also needed something that wasn't going to draw attention to us when we camp out.

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.

CFH Minnesota

I purchased a IGEN2550 on 10/06/24 for emg home power. This product appeared to meet my needs at 1900 watts. The unit is compact and not to heavy. Has good readout information, easy pull and starting, fuel consumption good. Manual book very good. I have run it thru 5 hour breakin with no issues.I am happy with purchase. Thank you for the generator cover bonus. CFH

So far so good

i just purchased two of these little beasts. They are super easy to start. I purchased them to use side by side for a horse trailer with living quarters since camping with horses is rustic 99% of the time. Once I have used them I will try to come back and leave more feed back. They are pretty light weight for invertors and I can pick them up without too much difficulty. (I'm a senior female)

Works great on propane

Works great on propane. Started on the third pull. Was surprised that user manual did not say anything about how to break-in the generator for first use. Ran the typical several-hour break-in, drained the oil, and it was black--as expected. First-time generator buyer needs this information. Would also be better if it had either wheels or a handle better suited for two-hand carrying--which I need to use.

Ready for Tailgating

We bought this generator to take along to our football tailgate. It is a great little generator that easily runs our TV. It is also quiet so doesn't disturb our tailgate or others. We like the feature of being able to check gasoline level as well as power usage. I think this is going to be a great generator for the entire football season.

Excellent DF Generator Invertor

This is a very tight and quiet unit. Currently in the break in period, but all is going well so far. Impressed with the size and sound, Bought primarily to charge trolling motor batteries and whatever other small to medium electric needs i may have when away from a wall outlet. I wanted dual fuel, parallel capability, and RV plug to future proof this purchase. Does not have (i don't need) a 12V plug. I researched competitors in this size range until i was dizzy, but this unit kept coming to the top for my current and future needs.

IGen 2500

Great Customer support. Until was re-called and after reregistering on-line, I was contacted stating since there were no repair close to my house so they sent me out a replacement, This was done prior to return of the unit I had so I could use the packing from it to send the other one back. Westinghouse also paid for shipping back. I have only used the generator a few times but has performed without any issues so far.
