Great Portable Generator, Highly Recommend

I bought this generator to provide backup power to my house in case of an outage. I had an electrician install the necessary outside connections and an interlock kit on my electrical panel. I am running my generator on propane and to my surprise it started on the first pull. It is very quiet and I let it run for about a half hour as I experimented with running different circuits in my house. I am all set for hurricane season now!!

Won't run on propane

I bought the generator to run it on propane. Tried to start it for the first time and it started right up. However it only ran for 15 seconds and now won't start again. I've started a ticket with Westinghouse and I will update this review if they can fix it so that it runs the way it's supposed to propane.

Quiet and powerful generator

I bought it about a month ago and took on 2 camping trip we ran the generator on propane gas and was very easy to connect and start much cleaner than gasoline. We had a 9500 before and was overkill for us. The igen 2550 is lighter quiet and perfect for our needs. We just need to install the altitude kit because it won't run right without the correct setup.

Great Buy

This generator has been great. Came with everything needed in the box, the directions were clear and it started right up. I originally purchased this generator for my cabin but after realizing how much electricity I need vs what I thought - I now plan on using this to power my home necessities during a power outage.

Great quiet generator

I bought this generator to use with our small camper when Boondock camping and it works fantastic. We did not want to carry another fuel such as gasoline so having it run off of our propane tank is great. It's just enough power to run our air conditioner and microwave.Two thumbs up!

Fantastic little generator for the cost

Everything about it seems to be good quality. I wish it had a standard 30A outlet so I could plug my 30A RV cord directly into the unit. With a MicroAir EasyStart system installed, I'm able to run my Dometic Brisk II AC as well as my 6cf Norcold RV refrigerator at the same time. I would have liked to see a proper break in procedure documented in the manual and quick start guide. In short, pull the spark plug and use the included funnel to pour about 1/2 ounce of oil directly into the combustion chamber. Then SLOWLY pull the starter cord about 15-20 times to ensure the cylinder walls, piston skirt, and rings are fully saturated with oil. The put the spark plug back in. Yes, it will smoke like crazy on startup the first time and this is ok. Put the included oil in the crankcase as instructed...gas it up and start it with ECO mode off. Once started, turn from choke to run position, then turn on ECO mode. Run it with no load for about 30 minutes. Stop the engine, drain the oil...yes it's black. Now, do it again, this time at about 25% load for 1 hour. Change oil again. Now run it a full power load through 1 tank of fuel. Then change oil again. After the first break in step, start using full synthetic oil. This procedure take some time and is a bit of work but it will ensure the engine is broken in properly and should last MUCH longer. Don't believe me? When you drain the oil the first time, drain it into a glass container and look how black the oil is. It will be like that the first 3 oil changes. After 3 changes, then run as recommended...50 hours between changes...always using synthetic. Also note that you don't have to use 10w-30. The manual says that you can run more temperature appropriate oil as needed. Also, get a better spark plug. You should go ahead and get 2...change out the cheap Torch brand after the break in. then have another on hand as a spare.

BIG power in a small package

We live in hurricane country, so I wanted a lightweight generator that would be powerful enough to run my fridge and portable AC for when we lose electricity for two weeks. This generator fit the bill. It's so light, my wife can lift it with no problem. Yet, so flexible, it can power my appliances, or just our cellphones.

Small Generator for Home Power Outages

The iGen1500c is just what we needed to power essentials during home power outages. For example, we found we could not open our rather heavy garage door during an outage, and our cars were in the garage. The inverter includes two 20 amp outlets, other outlets to plug cell phone chargers directly to the unit, and parallel connectors. The iGen1500c is quiet, very easy to start, and the thorough instructions are easy to understand.

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.
