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.

After a battery problem with our camper, we decided it would be good to have the back-up capability of a small generator. We looked for (1) dual fuel because we didn't want to carry gasoline (2) campground quiet (3) a well-known name with good reviews and (4) purchased from a national organization in case we have issues while traveling. After reviewing many products online and looking at reviews on chat groups where we knew people, we narrowed our choice to a couple of generators. This Westinghouse fit the bill, seemed like a good value and was available from a national store. Starting our first camping trip with it shortly, but it was easy to assemble -- everything needed was in the box. Instructions were mostly clear (didn't say to put the access panel back on, but I guess when you're done, you put it back on!). It started on the very first pull running on propane. It's quiet, although may be a little louder than we thought, but let's see what happens when we get it going. So far, I'm a fan!

The first would run my 15k AC, but only on low fan and it was maxed out running at full RPM and was quite loud. I bought a 2nd one to parallel, now it handles the load easily, both units run at mid RPM and are significantly quieter. I was torn between the portability of 2 parallel 2k units vs 1 quieter 100 lb 4k unit. These are being used for my MX race trailer, so the noise should not be an issue. If I was buying for my camping trailer, I would definitely choose a 4k unit now. The people that rate this at quiet must only use at on Eco mode with low loads. It's not at all quiet maxed out. Just know what you are buying.

I wanted a generator that was small, portable, quiet, and nimble. This one allows for gasoline or propane, which offers flexibility. Great for camping or powering a few things in the house. It came with everything I needed to start it. I think it would be tough to beat for the price if you just need something to power an item or two.

So glad we went with this inverter. Needed power source for our wedding in the mountains, and chose to give this a try. Set up was very easy, had it up and running in no time. It handled what we needed with ease. Powered a stereo for hours, and provided charging for all of our guests and a camper overnight. Was really surprised by how quiet it was, pretty much forgot we were using a generator, though 50 people were celebrating for hours about 20 feet away the entire time. Highly recommend to others.

I bought this generator a month ago. It started on the 2nd pull the first time and on the 1st pull on the following 6 times I've used it. I have had no problems at all. As long as you stay within the power limitations it should perform very good. One of the reasons I bought this generator is because it only weighs 42 lbs and I can easily put it in my vehicle and transport to other locations including campgrounds and it's rated at only 52 dB. Also, if I need more power in the future, I can easily add another Westinghouse generator with the parallel operation mode outlets. So far, I rate it 5 out of 5 Stars.

The generator was bigger than I thought it would be, but still portable. It was easy to figure out and the instructions were clear. Adding the engine oil was easy and it came with a convenient funnel. It started right up using my propane tank and the hose that came with it. A little louder than expected for a quiet generator, but much quieter than a regular non inverter generator. I recommend this product.

I bought this right before a big camping trip. I have another big 7500 watt generator also. My bigger generator is so loud and gas hungry. This generator was very quiet and could plug directly into our RV. it was able to run all the lights, charged everything that needed charge and run the microwave. It also ran the furnace flawlessly. And best of all it ran all night on a little over a gallon of gas.

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.

Never had a generator. Bought this before an incoming winter storm. Out of the box this generator was easy to set up and get running. Only complaint I have is filling the oil tank, the manual said many times don't overfill so I kept checking and checking until I used the whole bottle and finally the dipstick showed an oil level. Why not just say the bottle included is the right amount. After that put gas in and it started easily. Was able to plug in an appliance within a minute of it running. Works great. Definitely glad I made the purchase.
