Great generator!

My husband's dad has this and after we have been borrowing it, we had to get one! My husband utilizes this on job sites, our converted cargo trailer, emergency purposes and vacation. Runs pretty quiet and pretty light. Appreciate that it was factory tested before receiving it. Cost is more than fair with all its capabilities and qualities.

Just what I needed

I bought this as it seems any time the wind blows, our power goes out. As I'm now considered middle-aged, I've got the sleep equipment to prove it. Can't sleep without my CPAP. I don't want to worry about a battery backup. Now I can run my machine and a fan...I can hook up the refrigerator if needed, and can get through the night...or nights.

Amazing, indispensable item!

As many of us found out with Hurricane Helene, you can never be too-prepared! I would have had this generator a lot sooner. Having made bought this, I feel that my emergency/prep cache has become immensely improved. I look forward to many years of (hopefully) not having to use it, but will possess the comfort of it's power should we need it!

Inverter Generator

Have not had a chance to use this item yet, but everything looks in order. Only problem is trying to register the product. There is nothing anywhere that shows a serial #. Ended up calling and they said to use the bar code listed. Why did they ask for a serial #, when they meant a bar code?

Quiet, convenient and life saver

When we lost power and it was clear it wasn't coming back any time soon we went and bought this to keep our basement from flooding. Less than 5 minutes home and it was running! We got many hours of power before having to refill gas tank. Convenient gas gauge on front so I didn't have to walk outside to check it! I ran my sub pump and refrigerator for 12+ hours with no issues!

iGen2550

I needed this to power my sump pump when we were without power. This unit ran great as we were without power for 3 days. It ran my sump pump, two deep freezes, a refrigerator and various small appliances. It was a life saver. Now I can use it with my Traeger Ranger for tailgating. GO CHEIFS

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.

Ok so far

Arrived in good condition. Added oil and gas and it fired up as expected. We use it for our travel trailer, mainly for charging the batteries when dry camping and running the Keurig coffee maker and microwave, which it does pretty easily. I know the Keurig pulls almost 1500 watts during warm up. It's very quiet and I like all of the information available on the digital display.

Solid performer at an amazing price

I have owned 2 honda inverter generators which generally worked well and ran quietly but the price was insanely high and in the end I decided to try an alternative and liked the look and specs of the Westinghouse products so I initially ordered the iGen2200 for my race car track use and found it in many ways nicer than the much more expensive Honda genset, although it was a bit louder. I ended up needing another genset so bought the iGen2550c and again it works very well and is quiet enough for my needs. Pro tip: whether you purchase a Honda or Westinghouse genset, you need to rotate the choke to the setting that produces the smoothest engine note - this is where the air/fuel ratio is optimized. Leaving the genset choke at the the indentation position for 'warm' running is not always the ideal position and may result in surging or less efficient fuel consumption - if you are using stale gas you will need to move the choke closer to the 'cold start' position.

Perfect size

I was looking at a couple different manufacturers but kept coming back to this one for all the features. I like how I can connect this model to another inverter of different sizes. I am going to do a break in and I started this and it's super quiet. I think this will be a great addition to my equipment and for back up for some items if the power would go out .
