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.

I purchased this generator specifically because of it's higher than competition wattage range (for generators in the same class/style). The reason I need the higher wattage is because I have a camp set up at 2,800' above sea level, but I also want to use it at home which is about 600' above sea level. Each manufacturer (including Honda and Yamaha) indicate the percentage of power loss for each 1000' of elevation gain. Some manufacturers account for this by requiring that the end-user take the generator to an authorized dealer for a "carburetor adjustment kit" which changes the operation so that the generator only runs at high altitude. That power loss would not allow me to run all the items I want at my camp and the carb kit wouldn't let me run the generator at home. I simply needed a bigger generator and didn't want to move up to 3100W for portability and cost reasons. This generator's wattage size is perfect for me. I followed the instructions for filling the oil and gas with no problem. I could have started the generator on the first pull but decided to give a couple of rotations to work the new oil throughout the motor. I held off on the second pull, but nearly started the machine again. I only pulled a little bit on the third pull and it fired right up. I have heard the Hondas and the Yamahas in person, and they are quiet. But in my estimation, this unit is just as quiet in idle/power-saver mode. The generator obviously gets louder when drawing more current. I tested the power capacity with a 13A/120v benchtop table saw with an induction motor; generator had no problem starting and running the saw even when I made some demanding cuts. At full power, the saw was much louder than the generator. For me, the 2200/2500W is a requirement that no other manufacturer can meet in this machine class/type. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is. Finally, the price-point on this amount of wattage and portability was also a factor.

Only used for about a hour so far but it seems very quite and powerful. I ran a circular saw and that only uses about 25%. So in my application I can be charging batteries and running saws on a job site with little noise and great gas usage. As long as it is reliable like a Honda then Westinghouse has me in on their products

I recently bought this generator to replace one that was difficult to start. The igen2550c started on the second pull right out of the box. It was easy to setup with very clear instructions. I plugged in a refrigerator and a light with no problem and runs much quieter then my old one. I am very pleased with this purchase

Bought this during a power outage. It was super easy to start and to carry and I ran a full size fridge, freezer, and my sump pump for 7 hours on one tank of gas and didn't ever use more than %30 of it's power. Great buy! Great piece of mind! I can't wait to use it on the ice this winter.

Just unpacked the 2550dfc and see that there is no led display as was indicated it would have. If this item works as advertised in all other respects then I might add stars, but was expecting a better start than this. Not a deal breaker, but disappointing.

I bought this generator to use to charge the batteries on my boat. Needed something quiet so as not to disturb the neighbors. Everybody commented on how quiet it was and wanted to know where I got it. Ended up buying another one to hook and parallel to run the house in case of power failure

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.

We needed a generator with a 2200 watt run time for our RV, this generator was perfect. I filled the oil, added some gas and to my amazement it started on the first pull. The other thing I love is how quiet it is, I knew it was quiet but couldn't believe how quiet until I got mine. This is a GREAT buy.

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.
