I bought this 3 weeks ago and followed all the instructions. It was hard to crank on propane but has gotten easier. I still cannot get it to run on gas. Will not even start on gas. Was going to return to the store but decided to keep since the main reason for purchasing this genenrator was for the propane and it will be used mainly for camping.

The iGen 2500 started right up. It was surprisingly easy and smooth to pull the cord. I did a one hour test run with a full size side by side refrigerator, one lamp, one box fan, a charging iPad, and a Mac all at the same time. I never saw it resister above 25% or so and all went well. Ran nice and quiet. In some cases the refrigerator could create a major but very brief surge in watts (maybe 1,800 at the most) that might require powering up and stabilizing it before connecting the rest. I don't think it would be a problem once the refrigerator is cooled down. This is what we ran with a borrowed generator during Irma and it helped a lot, no lost food and reasonable comfort sleeping. The only problem is the fuel gauge does not work but I fully expect Westinghouse to make that right. I also plan to use it for some camping.

Dual fuel, easy to store and move for set up, purchased mainly as back up when power goes out occasionally. Otherwise, use for outdoor yard tools to keep it ready when I need it. This is second one I purchased to pair up with same model when needed. Nice product.

I bought this Inverter Generator for our tailgating adventures and it did not disappoint. It provided more than enough power for a couple of crock pots and a TV on our first use. It was essentially whisper quiet unless you were right next to it, and then it was still below conversation levels of volume. It was easy to start and ran for over eight hours on one tank of fuel. Our tailgating group was very happy that we added this to our arsenal!

I recently bought the Westinghouse iGeb1500c for multiple purposes but mainly to run a pitching machine for a youth team I coach right out of the box it looks great, very straightforward in initial setup which was easy. This model is very light even after a full tank of fuel and oil, it's very quiet with little to no vibration once running. First start up was effortless and smooth there's a lot more options on the front panel than I originally noticed along with very nice bright LED to light up the panel at night which are optional to turn off if you'd like. Also I didn't know it came with ECO mode which is awesome once you turn that one it's even more quiet all while making your fuel last much longer. Highly recommend this product for all around use its truthfully light enough to carry around for anything this is my first Westinghouse product but I can assure you it won't be my last.

Compact, well made unit that came with all the accessories I needed. Included were 10W30 oil for unit, funnel, spark plug wrench, and complete instructions. Nice to have little extras, like a hose on the float bowl to drain gas and keep it off unit. VERY well packed for shipping. Runs very quiet and has ECONOMY setting to minimize gas use while operating. I would recommend this unit.

Totally new to inverter generators...needed a generator to power our home oil furnace in case of a long power outage...after a long time taking to research what to buy...the Westinghouse iGen2550C was our number 1 choice. As we write this review, and having used only a few times the unit our first impression is an Aplus (satisfied)...the unit is lightweight 40Lbs, easy to operate, one pull gets it started and is extremely quiet. No regrets at all.

Bought this in June! Quiet and works great except shuts down after about 30-45 after first starting. After pushing the reset button it seems to work fine! I previously bought and still use my other Westinghouse gas inverter generator, which works fine!

I bought two of these for use when camping with my 40ft Fifth Wheel. I am very happy with how quiet they are and the ease for storage. They are light weight and easy to carry. Looking forward to using these on the road. When running them, I don't even hear them inside the camper.

Since I've only used it one time, I can make no claims regarding long term reliability. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the build. Nothing looked chintzy, or cheap. It even came with a bottle oil, and a full set of printed manuals and other reference material. A rarity with today's products. My upper body strength is not the greatest, but I could carry it with my left arm without straining, I followed the clear quick start notes, and it started on the second pull. I was able to boil a pot of water in a 1000 watt pot while running a fan without a problem. I also checked that the 2 5volt USB ports worked. If this summer is anything like the last few, I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of it.
