2550 generator shutting down

We bought 2-2550 last year for an event/camping last year in June and the generator work just great. This year went to the same event and brought both generators. After starting up one of them it kept shutting off after 30-40 minutes. Swapped out generator same problem (using propane). Any recommendations or ideas

RV Plug and enough for my AC

I like the dual fuel, our intent is to always use propane, but I like the option for both. We originally looked at the 2800 but it doesn't have the 30A plug. This one saves us from bring more parts and allows us to run the AC (with most other services in the RV off). It's also 60lbs lighter than our old generator. I would recommend.

Never worked properly

I previously wrote a positive review so that I could get the cover. We have only been able to get this thing actually going 1 time and only with gasoline. Its reasonably quiet and I thought it would work out great but I was wrong. 1- we specifically bought this model for its duel fuel capabilities. We planned on primarily using it with propane. When we tried to test at home it wouldn't work. It appeared the regular was faulty. We called westinhouse and they agreed to send us a "new" regulator. We had a camping trip coming up and thought ok we'll just use gas. Went and got gas. Tested it. Worked. 2- 2 days later we are boondocking and go to fire it up because it's 95 degrees outside and we wanted to run our small campers AC. Wouldn't start. After multiple tries it finally sounds like it's going to turn on but on the last pull the handle completely separated from the string! So now it's useless. We cut out camping trip short and drove 4 hours home early. Westinhouse agreed to send us a new cord kit. 3- we received the regular and cord kit in the mail. He regular was clearly used. Which isn't a huge deal, but it's annoying to be putting used parts on a brand new product. The cord kit was broken!! The cord was cut so that was again useless. They sent us out another and ita intact but it's not a straightforward fix. I'm not a mechanic I shouldn't have to take apart a brand new machine. I'm extremely disappointed that we spent so much money on a product that we have never actually been able to use.

Convenient generator for occasional boondocking!

Wanted a small generator that would be easy to lift in and out of pickup truck bed for a long road trip from Arizona through western Canada. This will supplement our solar/lithium battery system during our boondocking days/nights, and wanted dual fuel for flexibility. Already own 2 of Westinghouse's larger model, iGen4500DF. All are a great value compared to other brands!

Super Quiet

I recently purchased this generator and am very happy I did so. One of my biggest requirements was that it was quiet and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The fact that it is dual fuel and starts easily is icing on the cake. I highly recommend this generator.

Good all purpose generator

I bought this mostly for power to recharge camper batteries and to run the camper AC when it's hot outside. So far it has worked great for that. It has the capacity for the bare necessities as a home backup generator also. You do need to be religious about running the generator at least every couple of weeks especially if your running gas with ethanol. Fuel stabilizer helps but you really need to drain the carb float bowl for extended down periods. I also run non ethanol gas only.

Review for iGen2550DFc Generator

We recently purchased the iGen2550DFc to power our 17 ft travel trailer when camping without hookups, and so far it works exactly as advertised. We were specifically looking for a small, propane inverter generator capable of running the AC, and this unit delivered. It powered the air conditioner without any issues during our first use. We've only used it once so far, but we're happy with the performance and will update this review if anything changes with continued use. Great option for anyone looking for a compact and reliable dual-fuel generator.

5 out of 5 stars review

just started my igen 2550c for the first time

first start up and wow it started on the second pull, was totally suprised how quiet it ran. oh it was off eco mode, flipped the switch on and it just purred, love it. toggled a 600 then 1200 watt load and it ran beautifully. the machine ran so smooth and vibration free. I am 100% delighted with this Westinghouse Inverter generator.

Awesome portable inverter

Running 100% on propane. Easily started for break-in. 2 pull start after proper break-in time. Just the right amount of features for the price point and usage. Would recommend next gen have an output meter of some sort, nothing fancy just to know when I'm approaching capacity.

Easy to get set up and get started

I recently bought the Westinghouse iGen2550DFc because I moved to coastal South Carolina and wanted a reliable dual fuel generator. This unit fit my needs for wattage and best of all, its light to carry around as a portable generator. Hope I don't need to use it but I'm glad I found something portable and reasonable.
