Great features

There are some things I like this 2550C better than the other small inverter generators. Has LED lights to light up control board, access panels require no screws to remove and both sides have access panels, bigger dipstick handle to make removal easier, clear vent line for draining float bowl, selector switch to turn off fuel and run all the gas out of the carb, and rubber flat top to store stuff on. Only downside which isn't for me is that the fuel cap vent has to be open and closed manually and has slightly less power output. Not sure if this is the newest version or the other style WH has is replacing this but I like this style and features than other WH style with slightly more power.

Westinghouse Inverter Generator

I purchased primarily to power my 27' camper during remote camping trips but also plan to use it for tailgating and emergency power needs when necessary. The set-up was extremely easy with pouring in the pre-measured oil using the provided screw in funnel, and filling with gas. The funnel threads into the hole where the dipstick is and it kept everything clean and spill free. Started on the second pull after getting gas through the carburetor and it is quieter than I expected. I know I probably should have purchased a larger model but I don't plan on pushing its limits. The 30 amp RV outlet will also allow me to plug in without the use of an adapter. Very happy with the purchase.

Fridge and Freezer Saver

We had some big storms come through and knock out power for a few days. After 24 hours out I purchased this Generator. This easily powered my fridge and full size deep freezer. Plus we were able to run another cable inside to power. our entertainment center. Very quiet! This will come in handy going camping.

Great Generator For The Price

I bough this generator 2 weeks ago and have used it for a while so i can review it properly. I purchased it because of the features it has that are very helpful such as the display. It shows time it will run until empty based on load, how much fuel is in the fuel tank, how many watts are loaded on the generator, engine hours which is helpful for maintenance, and how many liters of fuel is left. Its pretty fuel efficient I just finished its break in today so far its running good. Now for the things I don't like. Its not as quiet as i was hoping for but its a small high revving engine up to 5000 rpm so to be expected. The plastic panel on the right side rattles quiet a bit adding to the noise which sometimes is louder then the generator itself. And last it always takes a lot of pulls to start it about 7 to 10 pulls cold even if it just ran the day before about 3 or 4 warm. I start it just like the manual says but still is hard to start cold and warm. But overall a decent generator if you can get over the hard starting sometimes.

Happy Camper

I went camping for the very 1st time on a primate site. All other times have been on sites with water & electricity hookup. I'm very happy with the purchase. I typically don't reserve primate sites but if I do in the future I'll have this if I need it.

Nice Generator

I bought this a month ago and it is a decent unit that is portable, runs pretty quiet and decent fuel economy. Perfect for the back up, and small portable power unit I was looking for. Happy that I went with Westinghouse. I have confidence in the brand

Easy to set up and very portable

Once you unbox this unit and fill it with oil, you're set. Just select the fuel type and you'll have power. It's relatively light for the amount of power it generates. Great for keeping the fridge cool for interruptions in power or for bringing the comforts of home to the outdoors.

Nice portable unit

I bought this a month ago for keeping my basement from flooding in the event my sump pump looses power from a outage. I finally had a nice clear day outside and unpacked the inverter. I then followed the easy instructions for first time set up with adding oil and checking things over. I then hooked the unit up to a full propane tank and within 3 pulls it fired up and it ran very well. I was impressed at how quiet it is while running. I followed the break in period instructions and then plugged in a space heater to see how it works. The heater came on and the unit didn't miss a beat. True test will be the next power outage when I need to run my sump pump, refrigerator, and freezer; which this unit is supposed to make enough wattage that I should be able to run all 3 at the same time with no issue. Quick tip, when selecting a generator buy one of the kilowatt gauges that measures starting and running watts of your appliances or items you want to run with the generator. Get a average of each appliance and add them up and then make your generator selection. That is what I did and it worked out well and made my selection easier.

Impressive features and design.

I am a retired electrician and have been around generators my entire career. I am quite pleased with the design features of the unit - down to the little things like oil and fuel catches. I am confident that the quality and durability will be consistent with the great functional design.

Good construction, light weight, and started well

I unpacked the unit last night and everything was as advertised but, when I attempted to start the unit with propane, I couldn't get it started. I added gasoline and followed the instructions again and it started up. I called support this morning and they are sending me a new regulator for the propane tank. I'll have to update later
