4 Stars... For now

Received and after a moderate break-in with a couple oil changes, immediately put to use. Ran Lucas Safeguard Ethanol Fuel treatment. Initial quality is there and I was happy that it started and ran my 13.5 BTU A/C on our first outing. Just barely though. And there were a couple instances where the breaker did trip between A/C compressor cycles. That said, it was an incredibly hot weekend! I also had some trouble restarting between fuel changes and general rest periods that I would give it. Seemed heat related. Also, oil had to be added after approximately 15 hours of first, hard Use which I would consider normal. There also were periods of rough running, hence the initial 4 Stars. Quiet as advertised and besides a couple concerns, I think if we'll maintained, this will be a great unit, particularly with a second in parallel!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Quiet/ Started First Pull

We have tried other generators and this one does the job. Easy to operate, and the features are great. The gauge is very helpful in knowing the status of the machine at all times. Lightweight, we were impressed with how quiet it is, started first pull out of the box and every time so far. Look forward to many years of use. My wife is able to start it and operate it !!

One-pull start and very quiet

Purchased this generator to power my camper due to the positive reviews. Once I received this item it lived up to my expectation. The generator starts up with one easy pull of the cord and is quiet enough to use a campgrounds without any complaints. This was a good value for the price and would recommend to anyone.

Excellent Portable generator for home use
on July 18, 2018

from ALPINE, CA (San Diego County, CA)
After much research I found this Westinghouse igen 2500 to be the best overall inverter generator for use at home during occassional power outages. Adequate to run my large refrigerator/freezer, tv, fans, computer, cell phone, coffee maker with power to spare. Very quiet, efficient and lightweight with good warranty from a great American Company, i.e. Westinghouse.. Great price too from AP Electric & Generators, WI

Strong gen, Light and quiet
on July 18, 2018

from Lufkin, Tx.
Was looking for a light weight gen to run my 13,500 A/C on my RV. I decided to install a Micro-air soft start kit and try the Igen2500. The gen started on the first pull and after running on light loads for a few hours, I tried the A/C. The Igen started and runs the A/C easily with power to spare. I then tested the 15,000 BTU A/C (which had no start kit) and was surprised to find that it also would start and run with reserve power. I live at an elevation of about 200' so I am waiting to see what a couple thousand feet in elevation will do to this test, but so far, I am well pleased. The tests were all done with the gen running in ECON mode.

Easy to store and easy to start

I have not used the generator yet but started it when I purchased it and was pleased with its small size and 2500 amp peak operation. It is not near as niosy as my last generator. Having been through 2 hurricaines and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I hope we never have to use it but I now feel prepared. My last generator was bigger but used fuel at a much more rapid rate. This will operate the window A/C we purchased for emergencies as well as lights and the all important coffee pot!
