Description
The Westinghouse OHV 4-stroke engine with 3.4 hp and 98 cc is the heart of the Westinghouse iGen2500. It has a 120V output and a running power of 2,200W and a peak power of 2,500W. Also, the device can work in parallel (but it doesn’t come with a Westinghouse WHPC Parallel Cord), so it can be linked to a similar or compatible device for more power. The inverter generator has a noise level of 52 dBA, which is just a little louder than a quiet suburb. It is started with a simple pull-start mechanism. With a full tank, the iGen2500 can run for up to 10 hours on its 1 gallon of fuel (fuel consumption is approximately 0.1 GPH). The iGen2500 makes a clean sine wave. With a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 3%, you can safely plug sensitive electronics into its AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel has the following two AC outlets: duplex 120V 20A (5-20R).
It also has 2 DC outlets: two 5V USB ports (USB-A) that make it easy to charge devices like cell phones or tablets.Features
A digital data center on the iGen2500’s control panel gives information about the remaining run time, voltage, fuel level, and power output, making it possible to keep track of its status and activity.
In addition to this, the lights tell you if there isn’t enough oil, if the generator is overloaded, and if it’s ready to use.The inverter generator has a built-in fuel gauge, which makes it quick, easy, and convenient to check how much gas is in the machine.From a safety point of view, the product has a circuit breaker for overload protection and an automatic shut-off for low oil, so you can use it without worry.The Westinghouse iGen2500 comes with a funnel, tool kit, and oil, as well as the usual documentation and an owner’s manual to get you up and running quickly.You can also buy a storage cover that is made by the company.Mobility
Since the Westinghouse iGen2500 is an inverter generator, its enclosed design (L19.8 x W11.4 x H17.9 in) looks better than a traditional open frame product.
The design fits with what’s popular now and is perfect for generating power for fun.The iGen2500 is a portable generator that weighs only 46.3 pounds.A single person should be able to move it around easily and get power wherever they go.The handle built into the case makes it even easier to carry.Product Videos
The following charts show how some of the most important features of the Westinghouse-iGEN2500 compare to other generators with the same power output.
**Fuel efficiency is give in relative percentage, 0 being the lowest and 1 being the highest value. Please see below specification table for actual value.

- We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
- For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
- Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.
About the Manufacturer
The Westinghouse Electric Corporation was established in 1886, and its heritage business, Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment, is situated in the US.
The Westinghouse name continues to be the brand name for many of its electrical solutions, which range throughout the scale from power plants to portable generators, despite the fact that the firm has been acquired and integrated into the American CBS.The primary product of Westinghouse’s Outdoor Power Equipment division, portable generators were previously produced by Westpro Power Systems, which Midwest Equipment acquired in 2016.Under the Westinghouse brand, lawn tools including trimmers and blowers are also offered for sale.Their entire line of items is American-designed.However, according to a number of sites, they are frequently made in China.Warranty Information
There is a warranty on the Westinghouse iGen2500 for up to 3 years.
This warranty may not cover all parts of the generator or may only cover certain parts.Check out Westinghouse’s warranty policies if you want to know more about the warranty on Westinghouse generators.You can also call their customer service line at 1-855-944-3571.
