JUST IN TIME BEFORE THE WINTER BLUES

WE BOUGHT THIS GENERATOR AS A RESULT OF THE HURRICANES LAST SEASON. DETERMINED TO HAVE SOMETHING IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, THIS PRODUCT WAS THE RIGHT FIT FOR OUR HOUSEHOLD. LIGHT WEIGHT, EASILY PORTABLE AND THE OPTION TO USE PROPANE OR GAS WERE THE ULTIMATE SELLING POINT. WOULD RECOMMEND FOR HOUSEHOLD USE.

Easy start

Bought this to run a RV that uses 30 amp which it does work for small appliances and lighting I was not happy that it will not run a AC unit and struggles with microwave. The noise level could be better compared to other competitors products. If looking to buy for a RV better find a unit that is 4000 watt or larger.

Peace of mind

Just bought two weeks ago. We moved to South Carolina and went through our first hurricane and ice storm. Was not prepared for having no power. We are from upstate NY where we had many forms of heat and gas stove. An all electric house has made us a little nervous. This generator will bring us peace for us and my mother in-law

Perfect for my needs

Only received this 3 days ago and am still learning its idiosyncrasies, but I'm now sure it will do what I bought it for which is running durable medical equipment (oxygen concentrator and CPAP machine) in a power outage. Initial startup on propane was frustrating. Westinghouse could put out a video on starting on propane. It would help. I would recommend researching "propane demand regulator" if you're not familiar with them for an understanding of what's going on in the fuel supply system.

Westinghouse iGen2550DFc

I was looking to replace my Honda 2000 generator that I gave to my daughter. After doing extensive research I settled on the Westinghouse iGen2550 dual fuel unit. It arrived in great condition the packaging was very substantial and it contained everything you need to get the unit running. Oil, tool kit, oil filler funnel, propane regulator and hose. there was one review I looked at that claimed in order to start the unit on propane they had to start it first with gas so I was eager to get it running and see if that was the case.I filled it with the supplied oil, the side panels remove easily, filled it with 92 octane gas and it started on the second pull. it ran great and I switched on the econo mode and it idled down to a slower speed. I plugged in my portable band saw and it powered it with no problem. I purchased the unit to run my a/c on my camper a 5Amp unit, it runs great powering the a/c. I connected the unit to propane, filled the instruction pushed the regulator relief valve 3 times, it started on the 4th pull,I don't think I choked it sufficiently initially. It runs great on propane. I'm very pleased I chose the dual fuel generator I think it will be very advantageous to be able to run on either gasoline or propane. the price point for this generator is just right for a generator that will be used mainly for dry camping.. The noise level is awesome also, At 50' from the unit it is hardly noticeable. I would recommend this generator, it seems well built and has many amenities, led lights illuminate the panel at night, 30amp plug, usb ports and the price is very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this unit.

Dual fuel inverter generator

I have only used the generator with propane fuel. It was easy to start and worked without issue. It is not as quiet as some inverter generators but is not loud as generators go. When considering quality, price, features and warranty, it would be a hard generator to beat

Excellent Product

I have been looking for several months to find a generator that i liked for powering equipment on my pier. After looking at Westinghouse and reading reviews, I was sold on the IGEN2550. I am so glad I made the purchase. This easy to carry generator is a powerhouse. I would highly recommend this product.

Powerhouse

We bought this due to yet another tornado induced power outage. We can not believe how many things we were able to power with this little thing. It's not heavy, awkward or oversized. It runs over 9 hours on 1 gallon of gas! WHAT??? It's small but mighty!!! I HIGHLY recommend this generator.

Good Generator

Bought this to use for events and camping, but also powering the house during outages. Does the job. Only issue was that the unit did not ship with a can of oil, but instead the oil was already added. The box was factory sealed so not an open box return.

Works Great!

Excellent little generator that helped us out during a multi-day power outage. This was our first generator/inverter, so it took some trial and error in finding a place on our back porch to let the machine get enough air flow, and stop the CO sensor from turning it off.
