2550 watt buddy
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.

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

Bonus

I put in oil and fuel, pulled the handle a number of times, the generator started, ran for a while, powered an 1875-watt hair dryer, and now I submit this review in order to receive a cover which probably should have just been included with the generator. I have absolutely no other experience on which to base a review and thus the neutral star rating. I will leave a highly opinionated review if I do not now receive the cover.

1st impression- nice

Our 1st portable generator/inverter. Started easily, power saver worked, compact, quiet as any other . will need to use it in real life applications and return for more or less stars. *WARNING- Bait And Switch! Bonus offer of a generator cover was withdrawn after purchase. Discovered this while registering the product on their website. An incentive to purchase that is withdrawn after purchase is extremely unethical. Bait And Switch! Actions like this will hurt Westinghouse's reputation.

Major issues with my iGen2500

I bought this unit in November 2019, but didn't immediately use it. I just went to use it yesterday (September 2020) for a PG&E PSPS and found out that the fuel cap doesn't fit??? I thought that it was odd that it didn't come attached to the unit, and now I know why. They must have known that there was a defect to begin with (likely with the fuel tank) but still shipped out the unit! The threads on the fuel tank are very rounded, whereas the threads on the fuel cap are very sharp and defined. I needed to use the generator to keep the refrigerator running, so I just set the cap on top so that nothing could get into the tank while the unit is running. During use, I also found out that the Power Output gauge does not work. So far, I'm extremely unhappy with the quality of this unit. I filed a case and will see how Westinghouse customer service handles this issue.
