I bought this inverter after loosing power during hurricane Irma. The set up was easy and it powers a refrigerator and 6000 BTU air conditioner with no difficulty at around 25%. Unfortunately, the pull cord has broken and i intend to call the service number to discuss the repair. Ill update my review after the call.
Bought this for my horse/sleeper trailer. Could not have asked for better results. Powers all my lights, refrigerator and coffee maker without an issue. Will buy another down the road and tie them both together for double the power. Unit is very quiet.
I reviewed and studied "every" portable lower wattage generator/inverter sold in the US! And on paper, features, capabilities, price and, of course, as always comparing to Honda 2000 and Yahama 2000, the Westinghouse Igen2500 scored the best! On price it beats almost everybody, but I would have paid the same as the "BIG2". Why?...........the running wattage is 2200....I need 1800....that means I will almost always (except on surges) be running well below max saving fuel with less NOISE! I am one of those oldies that appreciates and welcomes technology that actually works for you! The diagnostics display is digitally fantastic.......watts, fuel time to run, fuel level, and volts (sadly missing amps) right there all the time (checked them against interactive power meter). Only one offers similar and some dabble alittle., but not the BIG2 at all. 98cc keeps fuel and noise level down and under 50 lbs just like the BIG2. Since noise levels are mostly subjective even when measuring with DB meter, it seems to be mostly a tie with the edge going to BIG2 according to tests run on Youtube not the manufacturers. That's why I built a 2- sided roofed baffle box to steer the noise away. All the controls are upfront and fully visable like on all the better units. All the internals....oil, gas drain, air filter and spark plug are very accessible and visable....check any of the competition for this convenience! Offering a 3 yr warranty and lifetime tech support is above average than most, though I am hoping I'll never find out if either are any good! Do your homework and pick one that's best for you! jimg
We needed a generator with a 2200 watt run time for our RV, this generator was perfect. I filled the oil, added some gas and to my amazement it started on the first pull. The other thing I love is how quiet it is, I knew it was quiet but couldn't believe how quiet until I got mine. This is a GREAT buy.
