Great generator

Just purchased this generator, used for a full day and was impressed with how easy it was to setup and get started. The unit was nice and quiet, and uses very little gas. The manual is very detailed and easy to understand. My daughter bought one also and was able to get it up and running herself without any problems. I would recommend this for anybody not wanting to wrestle a large heavy unit.

Just what I needed for all my RV and Home needs.

Perfect for RV boondocking power. Great for emergency power at home. Easy setup. Added maintenance schedule to my phone calendar. Price was right and the dual fuel capability expands continual use when fuel supply is short. May be a life savor during future global emergency situations.

Westinghouse iGen2550DFc

I was looking to replace my Honda 2000 generator that I gave to my daughter. After doing extensive research I settled on the Westinghouse iGen2550 dual fuel unit. It arrived in great condition the packaging was very substantial and it contained everything you need to get the unit running. Oil, tool kit, oil filler funnel, propane regulator and hose. there was one review I looked at that claimed in order to start the unit on propane they had to start it first with gas so I was eager to get it running and see if that was the case.I filled it with the supplied oil, the side panels remove easily, filled it with 92 octane gas and it started on the second pull. it ran great and I switched on the econo mode and it idled down to a slower speed. I plugged in my portable band saw and it powered it with no problem. I purchased the unit to run my a/c on my camper a 5Amp unit, it runs great powering the a/c. I connected the unit to propane, filled the instruction pushed the regulator relief valve 3 times, it started on the 4th pull,I don't think I choked it sufficiently initially. It runs great on propane. I'm very pleased I chose the dual fuel generator I think it will be very advantageous to be able to run on either gasoline or propane. the price point for this generator is just right for a generator that will be used mainly for dry camping.. The noise level is awesome also, At 50' from the unit it is hardly noticeable. I would recommend this generator, it seems well built and has many amenities, led lights illuminate the panel at night, 30amp plug, usb ports and the price is very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this unit.

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.

Very quiet and works well

I bought this for tailgating. After a small hiccup and a break in period, it ran for the entire time we needed it. We ran a TV and a phone charger on it for 3.5 hours with no issues. I look forward to using it more and more! Very happy with it. We also helped a new dad power his baby bottle warmer with it!

iGen2550c Inverter Generator

Easy to set up and operate, and the noise level is very acceptable for campground use. Love that I can connect a 30 amp RV cord directly to it without any adaptors. The manual says it doesn't come with the wires needed to run 2 units in parallel but maybe that's just leftover verbiage from other models because both units came with cords. And they're super easy to use, truly just plug and play. Keep in mind that when you run in parallel you will not be able to take advantage of ECO mode...which makes sense anyway because you would typically only be running in parallel if you're providing power to something large like an RV AC unit. You don't want to be in ECO mode when something that large cycles on. But just know that when the AC cycles off your generators will not idle down while it's off, so no fuel savings! However, it does appear they will make it through the night on a full tank...will try to follow up on this later when I know for sure.

Compact, light weight, and powerful

This is the best inverter/generator on the market for in this price range. The quality is every bit as good as premium brands, such as RYOBI and Honda. So many incredible features, easy to use, and starts every time with just 2 to 3 tugs. I highly recommend Westinghouse!!

Excellent product

I've had this igen2550 inverter generator for about 3 weeks now. And it works great. Does everything i need it to do. And runs very smoothly. Holds a little over 1gal of gas and will run for me about 8 to 10 hrs on eco mode with approximately a 50% load. I'm very satisfied with this product.

Seems to be a great value

After oiling and fueling for first time it started on third pull and ran smoothly. I have not put under load yet but this seems to be a solid product. Great design and easy to carry. I grade at four stars now but would give five if the generator works for a long time.
