Worked a couple times

We had this generator for just over a month now. We used it a couple times to power a few things (Tv, DVD player and a led light) at camp a couple weekends. I was hoping this would be a great upgrade for our older Kawasaki, my uncle has a much bigger Westinghouse at his camp that has not let him down. To our disappointment, the generator started having problems like starting when it wants and when it does start, it runs for 15-20 minutes and shuts down all of a sudden. I'm going to start the process of getting in touch with the company in hopes they can help get something figured out.

Great small generator

So easy to get up and running. Instructions are easy to follow. Generator started on the third pull. It is quiet. I wanted to test it to be sure it worked and was not damaged in shipment. It ran perfectly on propane and powered a small heater. I hope to never have to put gasoline in it. Exactly what I was looking for. I also hope to receive my bonus gift dust cover for leaving this review.

Great Generator

I bought this for our Aspen Trail camper and it works great. It is light weight , compact, and reasonably quiet. The best thing is the duel fuel feature. No need to haul heavy gasoline, just fill the tank for a back up fuel source and use propane. We can run the AC, electric fireplace, microwave and TV and feel right at home in remote areas. For retirees, who are past the stage of "roughing it" this is a real asset.

Easy power out of the box!

Right out of the box, read the quick start guide, add oil and go! Directions are well written and clear. Started 2nd pull. Ran a fan, then a power saw then both just to test. Lightweight, easy to handle. Heading North with it to continue our cabin build. Glad I bought it.

Easy to use small generator

Had a little trouble starting unit out of the box but Westinghouse support got me up and running. Quiet unit for small jobs like one fridge, lights and device charging. Would certainly recommend for a emergency back-up during post storm power loss and/or camping.

Quality is Evident

I bought this generator after my last multi-day power outage. The generator was delivered as promised and really seems like a quality, well-built product. Clear instructions provided which made set-up and initial start-up a breeze. Now ready for the next time the lights go out and stay out for an extended period of time.

Good!

Went glamping once with it. Handled roll about a/c, and needed it for power tool when the trailer broke down:) Have not run on gas yet. Propane takes 4+ pulls but starts always. Seems normal. Put a magnetic dip stick on. Would highly recommend for brake in.

Easy start

Bought this to run a RV that uses 30 amp which it does work for small appliances and lighting I was not happy that it will not run a AC unit and struggles with microwave. The noise level could be better compared to other competitors products. If looking to buy for a RV better find a unit that is 4000 watt or larger.

Great Generator for all your needs

My family purchased this generator for the RV and emergencies. It works well with the RV and we feel we are more prepared for loss of electricity. It is not bulky but puts out good power. I highly recommend this for anyone with an RV or any outdoor enthusiast. But I also recommend this for the basic homeowner in case of loss of electricity.

Finally!

I have had a need for a small inverter generator as my main one is too big to carry camping, hunting, etc. After months of studying, I settled on the igen2550dfc due to reliability, price, power, and dual fuel capabilities. It went on sale 2 weeks ago and I was able to get one from a reputable dealer for an awesome price. The cord is super easy to pull and it starts up very easy. I can't wait to hook it up to my travel trailer after the 25 hour break in period.
