Great Dual Fuel Generator

I purchased this last month to carry with us in our Fitfh wheel RV to charger the batteries is needed and to enable us to run 1 of the air conditioners while camping off the grid. I run this off of the propane system on the RV so I purchased a hose without a regulator (propane system is regulated on the RV). I found that when the generator is cold you need to pull out the manual choke to keep it running until it warms up. If you don't it will run for 30 sec to a minute then shut off like it has run out of fuel. Love the 30 amp outlet on the control panel, most smaller ones only have the 20 amp outlets.

iGen2550c

We have used the iGen2550c twice since buying it two months ago. After the brake in and minor usage we ran it for 11 hours straight while upgrading our electrical in the house. Last night we ran it for 10 hours straight after a vehicle accident near by. Both times the machine ran flawlessly. At this time it has 29 hours on it.

Bought after much research, most powerful and priced right!

Just purchased this generator. Added oil and gas, started up with first pull! Everything was packaged just as advertised. Much quieter that standard generators. Intend to use for camping, and I see not reason that a five star rating will not be warranted after actual use. Satisfied so far!

Basic survival generator

Good first generator to help get you some power for refrigerator and small appliances. Used one of these after Hurricane Ian with 10 days of no electric to house. Kept the fridge cold and allowed us to use other small appliances for cooking. Quiet and easy to start/use

Powers my RV for approximately 9 hours

I bought this generator to power my Springfield 1800 BH with a 5k btu ac side mounted unit. It powers the entire camper for 9 hours while the a/c is running and allows me to sleep through the night without having to refuel. I can really only hear the generator running as the A/C cycles off while laying in the camper. I will probably setup a system to direct the sound away from the camper but it is fairly quiet.

Powerful and Quite!

I bought this generator to run lights on a parade float, it worked prefect! Ran quietly more than enough power and used little fuel. So happy we made this purchase , it'll be used for many events and what a great piece of mind to know we have it for a power outage.

Started on the Second pull!

Was so glad to finally get this 2,200 running watt generator to use with our 5th wheel.I had already installed a Micro Air Easy Start on our 13,500 BTU air conditioner so I would not have to deal with my 3,500 watt generator weighting in at 114 pounds in the back of our truck. As soon as it got here I read the instructions, filled the oil, filled the gas and it started right up (on the second pull). Let it warm up for a few minutes then plugged in the 5th wheel.Then went inside and turned on the air and let it run for a hour and half. The generator never missed a beat it just kept cranking out the watts! Looking forward to some great boon docking this summer. Thanks Westinghouse for a great product.

I GEN 2500 CAMO

The unit arrived without any damage and after inspecting is a very good quality and assembly however after using the unit multiple times it has incurred rattle which I have not been able to find and is somewhat annoying. Number two on fuel economy mode the unit constantly surges find me when it is running at a higher RPM at a steady load the surging is reduced to almost nothing. Number three the unit on the front panel has a reset button and a 20 amp fuse however when the unit is overloaded it only trips to reset button and not the 20 amp breaker also there is nothing in the instructions that says anything about that breaker it does not even show 1. Now for the good things I am very happy with the build quality of the unit it is extremely user-friendly very quiet and gets great fuel economy I change the oil every 50 hours the unit does not smoke but once in awhile you have to add all within that 50 hour. For a camping generator I highly recommend this unit I use it at my cabin I started Friday evening and it runs non-stop until Sunday late afternoon I power of 5000 BTU air conditioner polite a coffee pot in the morning and my phone chargers Etc and the unit performs flawlessly and I only use 5 to 6 gallons of fuel

Easy to store and easy to start

I have not used the generator yet but started it when I purchased it and was pleased with its small size and 2500 amp peak operation. It is not near as niosy as my last generator. Having been through 2 hurricaines and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I hope we never have to use it but I now feel prepared. My last generator was bigger but used fuel at a much more rapid rate. This will operate the window A/C we purchased for emergencies as well as lights and the all important coffee pot!

Quality machine with nice features

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.
