Quite and easy to operate

Bought this generator to use when camping. We went through set up and break in process. Very easy set up and operation. Hooked to RV and it did what we bought it for right away. So far this duel fuel generator is working just fine. Liked the layout of owner and parts manual. Will do another review after we have tested it after a longer period of time.

SO FAR SO GOOD

Wouldn't start out of the box until I read a review that said if you follow the Westinghouse direction of tightening the gas cap until it "clicks" the generator will be air starved. Sure enough. it started right up. The unit is also noisier than I expected-difficult to hold a conversation 25 feet away when at 75% power. BUT the unit seems well built, can be carried and boosted into an RV storage compartment using both hands and the display panel is great. I also think this is the perfect size to run the 15,000 BTU A/C and still have some battery charging ability left over. I hope to have a long, trouble-free relationship with it.

Great Unit!

Bought unit on 10/31/24 and but through the 5 hour break in procedure the next day varying from no load to 50% load with a space heater - The generator ran flawlessly. Took about 5 pulls to start after the first fuel fill to prime but after that it started on first pull after the 3 oil changes that I did for break in. So far I'm very happy.

Excellent inverter generator for my needs

Bought this a couple of months ago as a more portable and compact power option for power outages and general power needs. It's been all I could hope for and more. It's a touch louder “in the wild” than I expected, but still easily can talk over it (per my watch, it's about 62dB). Fuel lasts a long time and plenty of power for my needs. Pretty easy to move around even when full of fuel. All in all, perfect for my needs.

Best I have seen

I bought two of these iGen2550 Generators for my Travel Trailer. Would have preferred one bigger one however after two back surgeries I am limited on how much I can lift. After doing much research, I think these are the best and here's why. First off, they run in parallel with out having to purchase and hook up a separate device. They both came with parallel wires at no extra cost. They each have a full 30 amp. Trailer Plug In. So, no need for an adapter. They are very lightweight. I can carry both at the same time (if needed) I usually carry one at a time with no problem. They have a plastic screw in funnel to fill the oil tank (others are hard to fill or top off without spilling a mess) used and replace oil with out spilling a drop. They come with the exact amount of oil needed (no need to carefully measure) They have one knob to turn for starting, running and shutting down. They made the outside in a way the handle lays flat in a formed spot on the side panel. The dashboard is bright and shows amount of fuel level by just looking at the control panel. Both started quickly and ran perfect. I use them in parallel so I can run my Air Conditioner in my Trailer. I just spent six weeks traveling Florida and used them frequently. They each come with a tool kit and everything needed to start using. I would definitely buy them again. I gave them 4 Star because I wish they had wheels, however they are light enough to not really need them.

Power for mom

Generator for mom

My husband bought one of these for us, and I bought this generator to power my mother's furnace and sump pump. She has had some power outages recently at her house and I worry about her when the weather is cold. This unit starts very easily and it's light enough for me to lift and carry to wherever I need it. I like the fact that if we need to power additional loads, we can parallel the two units and deliver more power. We verified that the parallel hookup works well and splits the load automatically.

Everything I needed.

Dual fuel, easy to store and move for set up, purchased mainly as back up when power goes out occasionally. Otherwise, use for outdoor yard tools to keep it ready when I need it. This is second one I purchased to pair up with same model when needed. Nice product.

Clean unit, Easy Operation, Eco mode is great!

I bought this to pair with my new travel trailer and so far, I'm very happy! Arrived without damage and setting up has been easy. Comes with everything you need except gas. Eco mode is very helpful at night so it will run the majority of the night! Looking forward to more trips with this

Full package

Bought this over a week ago, fantastic little unit. Comes with many features. It's lightweight it has safety options. I took the time to break it in changing the oil three times in 3 days running it every day for about an hour change the oil. Bought it to take camping. It's such a quiet generator.

Pleased with Product and Customer Service

Purchased 1 month ago during a power outage. It was easy to start but would shut down for no apparent reason even under no load. After contacting Westinghouse and providing details they promptly replaced the unit with a new one. The new unit has had limited use but appears to operate properly. The construction appears to be of good quality and features are useful. Overall I am pleased with the purchase and appreciate the good customer service.
