perfect so far

This generator arrived several days ago and I just fully checked it out. From very manageable size and weight to clearly marked control panel, all is very functional and easily accessed. The choice of fuels is exactly what I wanted since storing gasoline all year long and keeping it fresh is difficult. Now I can just keep propane on hand and, if necessary or if convenient before arrival of a big storm, I can buy gas as a backup. Will update after first power outage.

Very nice inverter!!

I've been looking for a small inverter to put in our 5th wheel for a backup in case of power loss. Wanting something small and lite this fit the bill. Just purchased yesterday 10/4/23 so haven't had time to use, just ran it for a couple hours to break in. Filled it with the oil supplied and gas and started it on the first pull. Very quiet, like the gauges & LED lights. All in all, can't beat it for the price and features.

Good reliable power so far.

Purchased 7/2/23. Followed the start up instructions. Generator started up on the 2nd pull and provides power as intended. Only gripe-no number identified as the serial number. It's not where the manual said it is. Not where this registration page said it is either so I've listed the number below the bar code

Returning satisfied customer

This is our second Westinghouse Generator. When we purchased a travel trailer, we knew our first purchase needed to be a small generator. Westinghouse generator served us well at home, why not on the road? Hoping to get many on road miles using our new purchase!

GREAT SMALL GENERATOR

Just got this when we had a storm related power outage. My older generator had sat too long and had bad gas. The iGen2550 was able to power 2 refrigerators and a chest freezer. The only caveat is that you should plug in one cooling device at a time. If they all kick in at once, it can overload the generator and trigger the overload circuit breaker.

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.

Easy to assemble and started easily

The generator was bigger than I thought it would be, but still portable. It was easy to figure out and the instructions were clear. Adding the engine oil was easy and it came with a convenient funnel. It started right up using my propane tank and the hose that came with it. A little louder than expected for a quiet generator, but much quieter than a regular non inverter generator. I recommend this product.

Worked Great During Hurricane Milton!

It started easily right out of the box. It easily ran a full sized refrigerator/freezer, multiple lights, and charged several devices all at the same time. It could have handled a heavier load. Running on propane it produced almost zero fumes and ran for many hours on just 1/2 bottle propane. It is very quiet, almost as quiet as my neighbor's Honda that cost much much more. I'm thinking about buying a second one to hook to this one for the next hurricane. Light weight and easy to handle. Highly recommend it.

Great Little Generator

Purchased the iGEN2550 dual fuel in early October 2024 because hurricane Helene left our marina without power and this is the only way to charge the boat's batteries. The unit started fairly easy (it took a few pulls of the cord) and ran very quiet. The only issue I found was locating the serial number. Instructions say to look in the information label (not there), then during product registration the instruction to locate the serial number says it is under the exhaust (not there either). So I found a large number/letter combination that I used, I hope that is the correct serial number. Another number (CRA0281) was with the user manual, but I don't know if this is correct.
