First inverter/generator

I bought this generator primarily to recharge my electric battery generators. It is more than adequate to recharge both of them with additional power to spare. The instructions provided were clear to understand. It is easy to fill and check the oil level. Changing the oil in the future should easy and clean. I connected my unit to Propane, and it started up on the first pull, which surprised me! Subsequent startups were just as easy. I plan to use only Propane so I don't have to drain the carburetor bowl for storage. It's nice to have the option to use gas though. On start up, I checked out the Eco feature and it idled at a lower speed as it should. The first load I put on it was an electric heater and it handled that well. It drew about 1500 W. The noise level seems moderate. It actually sounds quieter than the video provided. Well, I'm very happy with this inverter generator and will possibly buy another.

Easy to use

I bought this yesterday in preparation for a large storm that was coming our way. Setup was very easy, and the generator started perfectly on the first pull. It powered our sump pump well(never going over half of the maximum wattage,) and saved our basement from being flooded. Super happy with this purchase.

Tons of creature features!

Just purchased and getting set up, but so far this is an amazing generator especially at this price point. Starts easy, and is quiet in my opinion. The fuel level indicator and power output indicator is hard to come by on these little generators. Light weight and easy pulling will allow the wife to fire it up no problem. I was shocked and excited about the exploded view of the entire generator paperwork that came with. Another smart idea is the info sticker on the side that shows you everything from model number to spark plug type to oil and fuel capacity! Awesomeness!++

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.

Great units

This will be my 3rd Westinghouse Inverter generator. They live up to the promise of small, light, and long lasting. I have a larger 4500 watt, and just upgrade to this dual fuel unit from a 2000 Watt gasoline only (and gave that one to my oldest son).

Another great Product

I have a larger Westinghouse generator (IGen4500c) that has been awesome. I needed a smaller one for camping and immediately bought another Westinghouse (iGen2550c). The generators are easy to set up and operate. They are very quiet so I don't need to worry about the noise when camping. Great products!

So far so good

After reading many reviews and talking with friends who have RVs; decided to go with the iGen2550DFc. Just got it today. Ran it for a little while just to load test it. Seems to work fine. Much quieter than our 1999 Coleman 5500 Generator and easier to handle! I do wish it had an hour meter for maintenance.

Ran for 15 days straight

I bought two of these on our way home from a road trip cut short by Hurricane Helene. We hoped to get them running in time to save our frozen and refrigerated foods. We did. Runs great and adequate for our need. The controls are easy to understand. Starts dependably. Just remember to start without a load and don't expect it to power your house. Count the watts on your devices. Don't expect it to power a microwave, toaster oven, or coffee maker unless you dedicate the service just to one if those high demand appliances at a time. We kept one running for 15 days. The oil change interval is a killer, but it takes less than a pint. It's quiet, compact, and moveable with built-in handle. Excellent for emergency backup for basic needs.

Great Generator!

I recently purchased this generator because of the fact that it will run on propane. It was easy to set up and get running. I like the features it has and that it can charge my phones and things using USB ports and not the 120v outlet. It was easy to start using propane. I have recommended this generator to a couple of friends.
