Quiet, Powerful, Reliable

I bought this to replace a 165# 3000W inverter generator. This iGen 2500 powers my RV 13,000 BTU A/C (with aftermarket MicroAir Soft Start installed) just as well and is so light and easy to move around. Extremely quiet. I love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Emergency Backup Generator!

This is the second Westinghouse iGen2500c Inverter Generator I purchased. This is a great portable sized generator at ~50 lbs and it performs very smoothly and relatively quietly, being an Inverter Generator. It continues to start on the first pull and the Digital Data Panel is top notch, conveniently showing the Gas level, Power level, Voltage level, Total Hours Run, and time left to run, with the Manual Push Button feature to select the data shown. I've generally used it for loads up to 1700 Watts and it performs flawlessly! I'm very pleased with this purchase!

Initial Impression- Great! Time will tell...

Ran it for a couple of hours and connected different items to it. Responded well. Some very slight surging in rpm's under a steady load. No big deal but will keep an eye on it. Display codes to identify what is being displayed do not all match manual, but you can figure it out easily enough. In my opinion, it would be much better to display the power draw in Watts rather than Kilowatts, but again, a minor thing. Tried shutting it down after running it for a couple of hours, then restarted. As I've seen in some other reviews, it did not restart as easily as a warmed-up engine should. Took a number of pulls and trying choke versus no choke. Maybe just have to figure out the right combination, but that issue could be annoying if I don't figure out the right combination. After allowing to cool down, restarted on the first pull. Being from the U.S., I would prefer the Fuel Level to be displayed in quarts or tenths of a gallon, but the visual fuel gage mostly makes that a non-issue (and it is a minor thing anyway). So overall, with my minor nitpicking, I still give it 5 stars as my initial reaction. How it holds up, hopefully over many years, will tell the final story. Also, the ultimate test will be a power failure when I see how it handles things. (I know it is not a whole-house generator. I mean using it appropriately, but under extended times of heavy load)

Received the Westinghouse iGen 2500 today (27 Oct). I added oil and fresh 89 octang non- ethanol fuel. Started immediatly and ran smoth. Sound level with no laod at 25' was great! I tested it with the following loads: LG 12k window a/c unit (10A) and it pulled less than 25% power from th igen 2500. Next i ran an electric chainsaw (14A) and pulled 50% power. Finally, i tried a 15k electric heater and pulled 50% load. All these ran for less than 1 minute. Vety Impressive !!!

Great at first, problems after minimal use

I’ll just be honest this is not a very good unit I’d look elsewhere. It worked great the first few times and now not so much. We only use it power outages so it’s basically brand new less than 75 hours of use. Problems are it shuts off for no reason under light load. It will run fine for two hours then engine will just rev up and down for no reason, we didn’t unplug or plug anything in. Fudging with the gas cap seems to help, but you shouldn’t have to do that. Leaving it not fully threaded in and clicked in seems to help. All we do is run fan for our gas stove fireplace, and fridge, and that’s about it. I’m also the kind of guy who follows the manufacturer book as close as I can.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this inverter generator as an emergency electric source of power in case of a power outage, to power my homes refrigerator and freezer. So far it met all my expectations.
