Better than expected

I bought this generator to use to charge the batteries on my boat. Needed something quiet so as not to disturb the neighbors. Everybody commented on how quiet it was and wanted to know where I got it. Ended up buying another one to hook and parallel to run the house in case of power failure

Generator Won't Start - DOA

Received the generator. Followed the quick start guide, added the supplied oil, added new gas, turned off ECO mode, turned vent cap on, set the choke, pulled about 20 times on the recoil pull cord. No start. Did not turn over. Set to run and everywhere in-between and kept pulling the recoil cord but engine would not turn over at all. Checked the spark plug. Appeared fine but completely dry. Drained the fuel out of the carburetor, appeared the fuel was getting from the tank to the carburetor. Opened the carburetor, ran compressed air thru the fuel injector. Put back together and refueled. Still could not get to turn on. Opened the front panel. A two-wire black and red connector was disconnected but did not appear to attach to anything upon inspection. Everything else appeared fine. Put front panel back on. I think I got a lemon. I'm going to try Westinghouse support and see where I get.

Great value

I wanted a generator that was small, portable, quiet, and nimble. This one allows for gasoline or propane, which offers flexibility. Great for camping or powering a few things in the house. It came with everything I needed to start it. I think it would be tough to beat for the price if you just need something to power an item or two.

Exactly what I hoped for

Even though I have only used the generator a short time it is performing very well. Setup was easy and it starts with two pulls, runs strong, and handles the tool loads well. I love the ECO mode as noise is much less than my other generators. Data display is great for checking operation and hour meter is nice for keeping the maintenance schedule. Its better than I expected and count on it lasting a long time.

Exceeds expetations

I received this inverter this week to use for camping. After connecting it to propane it stated up and ran after a few easy pulls. There are very few fumes and the control panel is easy to understand. Our camping adventures are going to be much easier with this very portable quiet unit. I can't wait.

Suprisingly quiet

Easy set-up and much quieter than expected. Easily quieter than my push mower. During break in period after about 3 hours I decided to change the oil. Oil was not as dark and dirty as I expected. Still under 20 hours of use, but very pleased with this purchase so far.

IGen2550DFc

This unit will be a great addition to my travel trailers ability to be self sufficient. Having the 30 amp receptacle will make it for easy connection along with the dual fuel feature, and light weight, I will be able to operate the iGen 2550 with my onboard propane tanks. Can't wait for camping season to start my charging arsenal.

Very nice generator!

Bought this generator for future power outages in our home. We have too much to lose when the power goes out again. This is our first inverter generator that we owned and very pleased with the unit! Very quiet, the read-out display is awesome, and lets me know everything that I need to know while the generator is running. Very quiet and fuel efficient compared to the "old" style generators. Very satisfied with my purchase.

CFH Minnesota

I purchased a IGEN2550 on 10/06/24 for emg home power. This product appeared to meet my needs at 1900 watts. The unit is compact and not to heavy. Has good readout information, easy pull and starting, fuel consumption good. Manual book very good. I have run it thru 5 hour breakin with no issues.I am happy with purchase. Thank you for the generator cover bonus. CFH

Fantastic quiet invertor generator

I've only use it once for four hours but it ran very well, was very efficient, and was unbelievably quiet. (I couldn't get over how quiet it was….I really couldn't hear it from 25 yards away.) I only had two fans on it as the load, but was still very impressed. I'm looking forward to using it again in the future for situations that are planned and emergency unplanned uses out of necessity.
