Good value for the money

I haven't had a ton of time with this product yet, however it seems to work as advertised out of the box. I did have a minor issue with it only running for a couple minutes before the oil shutoff turned it off. Turns out the included bottle of oil I got had too much in it, and the level was above the operating range causing the issue. After getting that resolved it seems to run just fine.

Light and quiet

I purchased the IGen2550 in October of 2024. I have used it about 5 hours so far. It's quiet and light and affordable. My family and I do a lot of camping and college tailgating. I have a bigger champion generator that we take camping if we are going to use the A/C. I just wanted the 2550 more for light duty camping and tailgating. To be able to leave it running most of the day so our trailer can run some tvs and stereo while only using a couple of gallons is appealing. While having it plugged into my trailer it works pretty good. I am only giving it 4 stars as it has just stopped running about 5/6 times for no reason. Fuel and gas are both in check.

Awesome Generator

This is a great generator. Very easy to set up and use. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I live in Denver and there is a high-altitude converter kit that will be very helpful. The generator is very quiet (quieter than I thought it would be).

Impressive features and design.

I am a retired electrician and have been around generators my entire career. I am quite pleased with the design features of the unit - down to the little things like oil and fuel catches. I am confident that the quality and durability will be consistent with the great functional design.

Jury is still out

Worked great when we got it. Load tested and everything ran great. Every month or so would crank and run just for maintenance. Got it out last week to run and load test in preparation for hurricane season. Struggled to run a power tool. Contacting Westinghouse to see what they tell me.

Just what I was looking for!!

I bought this inverter generator primarily for it's features---data display, 30 amp plug (although I am still limited to 1800 running watts), weight, and excellent reviews from previous buyers. Filled it with oil & gasoline last evening. Started fairly easily without much effort. Tried several power tools without a problem. The eco mode worked perfectly---the power tools barely increased the RPM's. The unit is exceptionally quiet. So far the IGen2550 has met all of my expectations. Very few of the small inverter generators I considered had a 30 amp RV outlet even though the unit is not capable of producing 30 amps. Also the LED data display is outstanding for a unit of this size. Very pleased with my purchase.

Garbage

We used it three times. It shut off while is was running on the third use and we have not been able to restart it. It was only 6 months old at the time. It has ethanol free gasoline with startron stabilizer. I tried a new spark plug. It won't even try to run. Menards won't help. The only suggestion I received was maybe the carburetor is bad and it's not covered. I can't find a pdf of the 3 year limited warranty to see what's actually covered.

iGen2550 Inverter Generator

I bought o 02-28-2023. This unit is easy to carry and put into car trunk or back of pickup without using ramps. Unit is much quieter then my other generators I have had. Starts easy and has good readouts. Can run my sump pump, frig and freezer and other appliances. Whatever adds up to 1800 running watts. Great unit

Great looking unit

Just received the unit and just did the quick start procedure. Everything seems to be operating according to my expectations. I love the fact that it's lite weight and still powerful enough to get the job done. Looking forward to years of great service.

Great features

After reviewing several generators I bought this model that was on sale. It has several features that are usable when camping. I will primarily use it with the propane mode although it is nice to know it also uses gasoline. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is. In addition, this will be used in case of power failures at home. Very happy with purchase.
