Westinghouse iGen1500c Portable Inverter Generator 1500W Peak (Blue) — 1000W, Super Quiet, 12-hr Runtime

The Westinghouse iGen1500c is a compact, lightweight inverter generator delivering 1,500 peak watts (1,000 running watts) of clean, quiet portable power for sensitive electronics and essential appliances.

If you need a reliable backup for brief outages, campsite power, or to run laptops and small appliances, the iGen1500c is built to be easy to carry, fuel efficient, and neighbor-friendly. It pairs a 4-stroke OHV Westinghouse engine with inverter electronics to produce stable power under 3% THD, runs up to about 12 hours on a small 0.79-gallon tank, and operates as low as 52 dBA—quieter than normal conversation.

How much power can this generator actually deliver?

The iGen1500c provides 1,500 watts of starting (peak) power and 1,000 watts of continuous (rated) power. That output is suitable for charging phones, running a laptop, powering a small refrigerator, or keeping a few lights on during an outage.

• 1500 peak watts / 1000 rated watts
• Two 120V 20A AC outlets for small appliances
• Two USB ports for charging mobile devices
• Less than 3% THD for safe use with electronic devices

How portable and quiet is the iGen1500c for camping or home use?

Weighing approximately 32 pounds and featuring a molded carrying handle, the iGen1500c is designed for easy transport and storage. Its noise output can be as low as 52 dBA, making it suitable for campsites and residential neighborhoods where lower sound levels matter.

• Lightweight 32 lb chassis for easy lifting and carrying
• Compact footprint fits in car trunks or RV compartments
• Noise levels from 52 dBA—quieter than a typical conversation
• Economy mode reduces engine speed to lower noise and fuel use

What fuel efficiency and runtime can I expect?

With a 0.79-gallon fuel tank and an economy mode that adjusts engine speed to demand, the iGen1500c can operate for up to roughly 12 hours at light loads. The variable-speed engine helps conserve gas when powering fewer devices or when load fluctuates.

• 0.79-gallon fuel tank capacity
• Roughly 12-hour runtime under light-load, economy-mode conditions
• Automatic engine speed control for improved fuel efficiency
• Low-oil shutdown protects the engine during extended use

Can I expand its power capacity or use it safely with electronics?

The iGen1500c is parallel capable, so you can connect a second compatible Westinghouse inverter generator with the optional parallel cord to increase output. Built-in inverter electronics deliver clean power below 3% THD, which keeps sensitive devices like TVs, computers, and phones safe during operation.

• Parallel capable with another Westinghouse inverter generator (parallel cord required)
• Clean inverter output suitable for sensitive electronics
• Overload protection prevents damage from excessive draw
• CO sensor and low oil shutdown for added safety

Who is this for? The Westinghouse iGen1500c is ideal for anyone needing a lightweight, quiet generator for short-term home backup, tailgating, camping, or powering sensitive electronics. It fits well for users who value portability and low noise—RV owners, weekend campers, apartment dwellers facing occasional outages, and homeowners who want a compact emergency power option that’s easy to move and store. For larger power demands, pair it in parallel with a second unit to expand capacity.
