Power for mom
5 out of 5 stars review

Bought for my mother's house

We have experienced a few power outages that lasted a while. While we have a whole-house generator, I was worried about my mother, who lives nearby. My husband was buying one of these units for emergencies and I decided to purchase another one just like it. My husband rewired my mom's furnace electrical connection to make it a plug in connection so in the event of a power failure we can just unplug the furnace from the house power and power it from an extension cord from this generator. The generator runs well and starts easily, and we have tested it on several loads and are very pleased with its performance.

Nice

Packaged great, comes with oil and a small tool kit as well as cables for multiple inverters. Put oil in after reading all instructions, added a small amount of gas being I knew I wouldn't be using it full time for a few months yet. Gave a few short prime pulls and then 2 pulls later boom - up and running. I put my grinder on it to test for load and noise and was extremely impressed. So far I'd say I got a great machine.

Easy to use!

The packaging was great. I added oil and gas and it started right up. I ran a small fan for 5 hours to break it in. It was really quiet compared to what I hear coming from the neighbors during hurricane season. I feel ver confident that it will meet my needs when I need it next hurricane season.

Great Product

I bought this for emergency power and it is exactly what I needed. It is easy to start so far all I have used is propane which works fine. I am able to carry it with one hand which is great and it is not very loud. So far I am very please with my purchase.

Easy start and quiet!

Very impressed with the very easy pull - almost no back pressure at all, starts right up and quiet running. Easy access to oil and spark plug and nice pad on top for setting phone or small battery pack while charging. Display is bright and LED front panel lights are a nice add. Looking forward to using on camping, ATV, snowmobile and ice fishing trips.

Very quiet, easy to start first time.

I just unpacked this light weight generator. I had an IGen4500 watt Westinghouse generator and it was great. But it was too big for our RV needs, so I ordered this 2550 gen. I put 91 octane fuel in it with a little fuel stabilizer. Added the oil. It took a half dozen pulls on the cord but then it fired right up. It is very quiet. I think it will meet all or our traveling needs.

Great for off-grid trailer camping

Bought this so we could trailer camp more than 5 days without power. It was very easy to set up and get going with excellent instruction manual. Wanted a propane fuel feature so we didn't need to transport gasoline and this is perfect. It's a little noisy, but able to recharge our trailer batteries.

Excellent inverter generator for my needs

Bought this a couple of months ago as a more portable and compact power option for power outages and general power needs. It's been all I could hope for and more. It's a touch louder “in the wild” than I expected, but still easily can talk over it (per my watch, it's about 62dB). Fuel lasts a long time and plenty of power for my needs. Pretty easy to move around even when full of fuel. All in all, perfect for my needs.

Nice portable unit

The unit is really light, portable and quiet. Starts on gas just fine. Engine needs to be warm to start or cutover to propane (outside temperature is 30F). I will followup with Westinghouse about that. Need a power failure or to go camping to fully test.

IGEN2550C Review

I bought this to run my 15,000 but AC in my RV. The generator is light weight and compact. It starts very easily. I like the controls and displayed info. No wheels, but is so light, who needs them. The sound level is on par with the expensive red model. Love it so far.
