Hurricane Readiness

We recently moved to the coastal Southeast and wanted to be prepared for hurricane season. I bought the iGen2550DFc along with a battery power bank to ensure that we can immediately power essential appliances and equipment and ensure the capability to operate without grid power for an extended period of time. Space is at a premium in our new house. The iGen2550DFc met my needs for size, portability and output. The dual fuel capability was also important, as it's such a hassle to store and maintain gasoline for extended periods, even with stabilizer. I always have a couple of 20-lb LP tanks around; if they run out I can always switch to gasoline. And this generator sips gas at such a slow rate that I don't have to keep a lot on hand. First impressions are great. The generator came securely packaged and the operating instructions are clear. Finish quality is good, and the control/output panel is intuitive. I was able to get it started on propane within a few minutes of connecting it to the tank. I was impressed with how quiet it is...a pleasant change from generators that I've previously owned.

Very Satisfied...

Totally new to inverter generators...needed a generator to power our home oil furnace in case of a long power outage...after a long time taking to research what to buy...the Westinghouse iGen2550C was our number 1 choice. As we write this review, and having used only a few times the unit our first impression is an Aplus (satisfied)...the unit is lightweight 40Lbs, easy to operate, one pull gets it started and is extremely quiet. No regrets at all.

Best Generator I ever owned

I'm a drone pilot. Bought this to recharge my batteries and remote at a local solar farm in high heat and humidity. While my other electronics started to fail to some degree, this generator saved the day. Plenty of power to charge everything. I think I'll bring a fan next time, lol.

Little guy plenty of power!

I have a small travel trailer with an AC unit. To power this unit I needed a generator. I have to carry this generator in the back of my SUV so a gas powered generator would not work as I would have to carry the gas in my car. My trailer carries two propane tanks so I was delighted to find this dual power generator. Weight is a key issue as I have to be able to lift the generator up to load it into my car. I am a small 80 year old woman and I can handle the 42 lbs of this generator! It runs beautifully to power my AC using the ECO mode so I am really set for summer travel in hot climates. Love the freedom it is giving me.

Great Generator for the Price!

I bought this last week, and ran for 20 minutes today. It ran exactly as described. It ran faster as the load was increased. The only problem was filling the generator with gasoline. At first, it splashed with the included filter in place. All you need to do is note where the fill line would be and simply take the gasoline filter out. It then filled with no trouble.

So Far Very Reliable

Was easy to set up, started right up with a couple of pulls. I've been running the generator on propane so far, haven't put any gas in it yet. Still breaking it in, keeping the load below 50%. I bought two generators as I want to run them in parallel to run an RV with air conditioner. Haven't hook them up together yet. No issues so far.

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.

Great little generator

Nice quiet inverter. Put oil and gas in and started right up. Very quiet, especially on Eco mode. Easy to carry and will be great for camping, or plugging in delicate electronics during a power outage. The option to hook to another Westinghouse inverter with the parallel cables is a nice perk.

Light and good

I bought this product in 2024 and have not used it until a couple of months ago when we had a power outage. The generator was a little difficult to start up. I found that I had to manipulate the choke and pull several times to finally get it started. After starting it did the job.

love how quiet it is and the fuel range

I've been meaning to buy a new generator for a while. I love that its quieter than the traditional generator and that it uses less fuel with the eco mode. Another plus is that I can move this generator whereas I struggled with our old Honda one because it was so heavy.
