Comes through in the clutch

I used a one of these, that belonged to a friend, after a storm causing a power outage. This generator ran for over 7 hours without refueling. Never did it seem to bog down when we plugged stuff in. It did not even hiccup with 3 refrigerators and freezers plugged into it. We added lights kept on purring. It was so quiet and and 1 pull starting. Love it so much I went and bought one for a insurance policy that I will never need one again, but if I do I know I have one that will do the job!

Lightweight, user friendly.

We bought this for backup power in case of a power outage. Luckily we haven't had to use it but I did start it up and went through it's features. I found it to be very well built, compact and easy to use. The directions were easy to follow and the display was easy to understand using the directions. Excellent product for the price.

Emergency Power

Purchased this to replace a 25 year old generator that generates same wattage but is twice the weight as this inverter generator. Ordered online and just got the generator today so not much I can say except I added oil and fuel and it started after a few pulls on the crank. This should operate my freezer and pellet stove should we have a power outage this winter. I selected this generator because of dual fuel feature so that I can hook up my grill propane tank if I run low on gasoline. It was nice that an actual warranty book and operating manual and maintenance guide came with this generator.

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!

Perfect dual fuel generator for RV use!

I bought this generator after research and a friends suggestion. Used it at a Rock the Country concert in Kentucky for a long weekend. We were in the no powered RV lot, and I bought this generator for that purpose (RV use). Worked like a charm! love the light weight, power output and most importantly, the dual fuel engine! I do not have to carry gas cans in my RV/truck when camping. The plan is actually to not even put gas in it. Used it all weekend on LP. Very quiet unit. Highly recommend this unit!!

Excellent DF Generator Invertor

This is a very tight and quiet unit. Currently in the break in period, but all is going well so far. Impressed with the size and sound, Bought primarily to charge trolling motor batteries and whatever other small to medium electric needs i may have when away from a wall outlet. I wanted dual fuel, parallel capability, and RV plug to future proof this purchase. Does not have (i don't need) a 12V plug. I researched competitors in this size range until i was dizzy, but this unit kept coming to the top for my current and future needs.

Light and Portable and Delivers The Power

Day One, delivered in perfect condition, no scratches or broken pieces. Easy to follow instructions on set up. Man, this thing is light. Running oil provided, no problem filling with oil and gasoline. Set the choke following the start up guidelines, couple pulls and she coughed once, next pull, fired right up. Ran smooth through warm up and settled down in Eco mode. Made this purchase for our small off-road trailer. This is the smallest gen/inv that I could find that came 30amp trailer ready. Couple this with a softstart and I can run my air conditioner. I'm very impressed in my testing of this unit. Really like the digital data center that provides all the information I need to safely run this piece of hardware. Already recommended this generator/inverter to my neighbor who is looking to purchase one as well. Westinghouse, you did well.

It did the Job Great

When power was going to be out for 24+ hours we pulled the trigger and bought the generator. It was easy to setup came w/ the oil needed. While we had the power outage I powerd two fridges, two Fans and a ton of electronics. The generator was less than 50% power I love the LED display telling you what the generator is doing no need to guess.

Great Inverter Generator

I just picked up this generator today. Upon trying to lift the box I thought it was heavy, but after getting it unpacked I found it was very easy to carry around. Set up was very easy, and the oil funnel that actually screws into the oil access is a great touch. It started right up and ran great! I am looking forward to a long useful life out of this equipment. It replaces a larger generator that was too heavy to move around.
