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.

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 purchased this as an emergency generator in case of a power failure. I test ran it with a light load (fan) for two hours and it worked perfect. I gave it four stars ONLY because the bonus program does not offer the generator cover any longer, so I was stuck with the power strip. The generator itself would be 5 stars.

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.

The iGen2550DFc is quite possibly the perfect combination of innovative engineering and high performance in an inverter generator. The fact that it's many features are packaged in such a compact form factor is really impressive. We use this to power lighting and accessories in a marine application. But the flexibility of dual fuel source (gasoline and propane) pretty much guarantees the unit can handle just about any situation.

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.

Unit is new. It was in perfect condition and all accessories included, even the break in oil. Started a little hard first time, but easy since. I was looking for dual fuel, light weight, inverter, and 30amp plug for a camper. It runs everything on the camper including the A/C. Have only run for about an hour, but it seems good to me.

I'm a drone pilot. Bought this to recharge my batteries and remote at a local solar farm in high heat and humidity. While my other electronics started to fail to some degree, this generator saved the day. Plenty of power to charge everything. I think I'll bring a fan next time, lol.

I purchased 3 total. A 5000df, a 5000c, and a 1500c. One for the camper one for the house and one for the boat. I could not be more pleased with all of them. The only change I would make if I could go back is I would have gotten another 5000df instead of the 5000c. I believe the dual fuel will be more beneficial in a crisis. Last year when the hurricane hit we had to drive 40 miles both directions to fuel. The stations had gas but no power, but you could get propane plus I had 3 tanks on standby already for the camper. Overall I could not be more pleased with my purchases.

Generator was delivered today. Ran it in for 30 minutes to check operation. Operated flawlessly. Ran my table saw - it used 25% of the generator's capacity. The LED info panel is great! It's good to have that information. Let it run out of fuel and drained the carb float bowl - the drain valve and hose are a really nice touch. This is our hurricane generator. Hopefully, we'll never need it again.
