Quick setup and easy to use.

I purchased this generator in the event of losing power and needing something to run my sump pump off of. I was able to quickly this get unpackaged, follow directions to start and get what I needed to hooked up quickly. Very straight forward use, runs well and easy to handle.

Great product at a great price

Purchased this generator a few days ago, currently working on the break in process. So far so good though, the maintenance panels are easy to remove and oil changes are a breeze. It fired up the second pull and now starts with ease on the first pull. It runs quiet, I can reasonably carry on a conversation within 5 feet of it not in Ecomode. Happy to say the least, would definitely recommend it.

Last 24 hours in-between fill ups

worked great for the 3 day power outage we had to deal with. Kept the fridge running and gave us access to have 1 of the rooms have full power.(TV, Computer, modem, lights,)

BoonDocking Parallel Operations

I bought this product to do parallel operations with my Westinghouse iGen4500dfc when boondocking in the RV. The Westinghouse iGen4500dfc works great and expecting the same service from the iGen2550.

HONDA Customer for years... buys Westinghouse!

We found the iGen 2550 a great match for our 16ft camper and a better choice than the small Honda generator I was going to buy. With a direct 3prong 30amp connection to the camper (Honda didn't have that!) easy pull starting and LED digital data display altogether make this Westinghouse generator the perfect fit for our camping needs!

Affordability that packs a punch

Packs a good punch for a lightweight and affordable generator. After trying other generators, this one gets it done for me. It's the perfect accessory for power outages when trying to run small appliances.

Good unit to Ice Castle fish house

Nice size generator. Very quite with light load, but larger than expected with load. Nice data, but prefer readout in gallons. Like the 30amp plug, but need more than 1 to get full 30 amps.

Miserable experience and 2 days wasted so far

I wanted to run with propane, but tried many times and with two tanks, reconnecting, choke, no choke it wouldn't start. Gas didn't seem to be coming out of the regulator. So next I tried with gas and it ran easily. Except it stops. Usually after 15 minutes to 4 hours. I've now spent about 2 days and 2 tanks of gas. First it seemed to stop only with eco. Then normal mode stopped. I tried running with a loose cap to make sure there wasn't a vacuum problem, etc. Sometimes the low oil light came on and the unit quit right away. The tech advised that too much oil could also be a problem and it took about 4 tries and 3 spills to get the oil level which rested right in the middle of the dip stick. Ran great for 3 hours then ... I'm on hold with service right now seeing if I can get an exchange or repair. Unfortunately I bought on line so return is not an option. I have a 10k westinghouse than ran my whole house for 7 days after a bad storm here. I was hoping for better.

Easy to start, but won't stay running.

Was pretty happy with this generator out of the box. One very light pull and the generator started right up. However, the first time we went to use it, we began having issues. The generator won't stay running. I've tested the generator with an 1800 watt hair dryer, and then unit will run for a couple minutes. However, if I switch the hair dryer off for a few seconds, then turn it back on, the generator backfires and quits running. It then takes several hard pulls to get it running again. Usually I have to let it sit for a few minutes before trying to start it again. Something is not right with this.
