This iGen2550 inverter generator is awesome

This iGen2550 inverter generator is awesome! Couldn't believe how quiet it runs. Add a 15 Amp load and you can barely hear any increase in speed/sound. Easy to start. Great digital indicators. Easily runs my table saw, miter saw, or other tools (one at a time). Love it.

Manual needs improvements, need more tools

I am a first time generator owner/user. The manual has references to things that do not have precise correspondence to the tables. Example, Page 20 refers to "relief valve" without referencing a table or figure number. There is a figure that describes something as a "valve". Are the the same thing? I don't know, because I am a first time generator owner/user. That produced uncertainty in my setting up and using the product. The manual should have said on page 16 approximately how much volume of oil to initially service the unit (iGen2550DFc) with. It turns out that it needed the whole container supplied with the generator, but it should would have been nice if I had known that, because the manual said on page 16 to stop frequently (and presumably check), and it says, in bold, "DO NOT overfill", which was very cumbersome since the supplied funnel needs to be screwed into the oil dipstick hole. The manual's specific instructions on page 20 for starting the engine were ambiguous. It said that if it didn't start, one should repeat steps, but it didn't say which steps to repeat.

Great Little Generator

We bought this as a backup to our main house generator. We wanted something small that would run a few things in the overnight hours when we didn't want to tend to the big gennie. Well, it does the job! We love it. It's light weight, QUIET and easy to start. We plan to carry with us on lake trips so we always have power. Can't go wrong for the price!

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.

Great features

After reviewing several generators I bought this model that was on sale. It has several features that are usable when camping. I will primarily use it with the propane mode although it is nice to know it also uses gasoline. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is. In addition, this will be used in case of power failures at home. Very happy with purchase.

Great little generator

I have bought this for camping, finally a small generator with a TT-30R plug. Dual fuel is great asset too when camping with a trailer, as the trailer has propane. The trailer has solar panel to charge the batteries but many times I trembled when early in May snow fell, covered the panel, there was no solar charging, and the batteries were falling below 50%. With the little generator I can have AC in the summer, and run propane heater (battery guzzler) as much as I want during the cold nights. It works nicely, can't complain,

Small and powerful

Great unit,small enough to be loaded and unloaded by a one person,operates my camper with ease and has a very low noise level Unit was package well to avoid damage,box it came in had been lightly crushed on the end but Generator didn't have any damage. Unit performed well when hooked to my RV,operates my roof air with no problems

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.

Great Mini Generator

I bought this after storms took out the power knew it was going to be a few days, the price was lower than some other generators but this has proven to be great. Runs 10-14 hours on 1 tank of fuel. The oil levels must be kept right or it won't start or will shut off after a few minyes. The perfect amount of oil is almost 3/4 of the included amount, it doesn't say that anywhere but it needs to.
