Much Better than I expected!

I got this for the dual fuel feature and it's perfect for my 30 amp RV. I can run my 15,000 max air conditioner with with the 1700 available watts on propane, (with the soft start I installed previously). Well worth the money! Now I have to sell my VERY heavy - BIGGER, open frame LOUD Champion.

Everything I needed.

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.

Compact Quiet Generator

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.

love how quiet it is and the fuel range

I've been meaning to buy a new generator for a while. I love that its quieter than the traditional generator and that it uses less fuel with the eco mode. Another plus is that I can move this generator whereas I struggled with our old Honda one because it was so heavy.

Powerful enough to run my RV air conditioner.

I bought this for occasional use with my camping trailer. Tried it out and it has plenty of power to run the camper A/C or microwave oven. Also will be used for emergency power when the electricity goes off in the winter. After filling the crankcase with oil and adding gasoline it started on the first pull, impressive!

Perfect for our need

We were looking for an inverter generator that we can use for our trailer. Most of the products available are too heavy to lift in an out of our truck to take with us on trips. We purchased two iGen2550c Westinghouse due to get the capacity we needed to run AC and other load in our trailer. Each one is less than 50 lbs. so I can move them. Noise level is pretty quiet for a generator. Start-up was super easy. Perfect for our need!

Off to a good start

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.

Great documentation, easy to use machine

I always look for good, clear, concise documentation for power equipment, and this inverter came with very good manuals. The machine is easy to use, the break-in procedures were thorough, and I am very happy. The access cover is difficult to get the first time: some things are not obvious. The screw and control knob fell of during first use.

Really nice Generator.

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!

Fantastic! But have to drain oil before storing?

We bought this during a multi day power outage to save the contents of 2 freezers, and in that respect it was great. Much more portable than a traditional wheeled generator and had more than enough capacity and surprisingly long run time. But now I am looking to put it into storage until its next needed. Page 24 says more than 6 months storage, drain float bowl, fuel and a small amount of oil in spark plug hole. Which I would expect. BUT page 22, instructions for draining fuel tank and carb float bowl says 'To prevent damage to the unit, drain engine oil before emptying fuel tank'. What!? So you have to drain the oil before you can siphon the tank empty? And then what, refill it? What a pain if so, and how does that make any sense. Cant I just empty the float bowl, siphon out the fuel and leave the oil in the unit? PS. my unit included a flyer promising a free cover if I left a review so hopefully I do receive that.
