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.

Versitility

A really good backup power source with the option of using either gasoline or propane. It's not as lightweight as one would think, especially after filling the tank with gas. Have not had a chance to check out all of the features yet, but soon will. It's an ideal time to purchase prior to Spring and stormy weather.

Started on first pull

I immediately ran a two stage heater (out on the driveway) for a couple hours in econo mode. I would manually switch from off to 1000w and 1800w every once in a while. Handled the transition between settings just fine. I than took it to my camper and ran my 13500 btu AC unit. This worked fine in standard mode. I tried to adjust the temp setting knob manually, turning the knob down and then back up and the unit went into overload. Thinking maybe there could be pressure build up in the compressor, I decided to let the the AC cycle on its own. This way the cycle time was longer, letting the compressor settle back down. Not only did this work, but also worked in econo mode. That's why I gave it a five star. It does everything I expect and than some!

Super quiet and runs smooth

Just received it yesterday and tried it out today. The thing runs great. Starts right up. Powered up my fridge which was my main reason wanting it. It only showed running at 25% capacity running it too. I just got it so can't really say much more yet. So far very pleased.

Well built

I bought this dual fuel Westinghouse inverter generator for use in my RV and for general camping. I was immediately well impressed by the quality of manufacture, the light weight for available wattage and the instrumentation panel. On opening the service panel I was again impressed with how well built this piece of equipment is. I have absolutely zero buyers remorse with this purchase and am in fact excited and proud to own it!

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.

Lite Weight and Powerful Inverter Generator

The Westinghouse iGEN2500 is equal or lighter weight than most of the 2000 Watts inverter generators that I researched but best of all it's peak output is 500 watts greater. Additionally, it is quiet as most with the exception of the Honda and Yamaha which are only slightly lower but are twice the price. Westinghouse's iGEN2500 with it's larger power is a perfect fit for my new Travel Trailer

Exactly what I had hoped for!

Put the oil in and gas and it started on the second pull. Runs smooth and I would consider it to be very quiet, now the heavier the load the harder it runs the more noise it makes, but if you are using small appliances and can run it on eco mode it is just a little purr. I have very high expectations for this little guy. I purchased this for power outages so we won't lose everything in our refrigerator and freezer. Also we expect it to be useful with our small travel trailer

Good dual fuel generator for my power backup

I bought this to recharge my Ecoflow Delta Pro battery should i ever need it. The Ecoflow is connected to my electrical panel but other than solar panels to recharge, i need another power source to recharge it. So, i decided to buy this Westinghouse dual fuel generator. It's small enough where I can store in a corner. Had some trouble starting with LPG tank but that was because I didn't pour enough oil in initially. Once I got enough oil in, it started. I need to play around with it more but like i said this a small reasonably priced peace-of-mind backup whenever I have to deal with extended period of lost power. Would recommend.

Easy to start and easy to use. Light weight and quiet.

First unit didn't function well. Les in Customer Service was very helpful and all is well. We "dry camp" a lot and use the generator to supplement our solar charging during rainy weeks like we just had and when 110v appliances are used like microwave and hair dryer.
