Albeit early, I already have an impressive story on this product. Out of the box, it's incredible easy to set up... add oil and gas and your done. The directions tell you to initially gentle pull the start cord until you feel resistance. I pulled once, then twice and then on the gentle third pull the darn thing started... quite as a church mouse. Very impressive. Now time will tell on the product longevity..

I purchased the iGen 2600 to use for temporary power in case of a utility outage. I've had it for about month. It was packed well. Studied the manual which was clearly written and easy to follow with respect to setup, operation, and maintenance. It included exploded views with parts lists, schematics and specifications. I opened the maintenance cover to view the quality of both components and assembly. All looked good and component parts seemed to be robust. I then added oil and fuel following the startup procedure and then started the generator. Initially it ran a little rough which could have been debris from manufacture in the fuel system or possibly an air bubble in the fuel system. In diagnosing, I found that the spark plug gap was a bit off so I set it to the exact specification called out in the manual. I ran the unit over several hours throughout the month loading it to various levels and changing loads. This included various types of loads including multiple motors including a vacuum cleaner, sump pump, and electric lawn maintenance tools. I was impressed that even with multiple motors running I was able to start another without noticing any lugging. You couldn't tell the difference in the startup from when powered from primary power. The generator motor quickly would speed up in an effortless manner. I repeated these tests in varying combinations without issue. After running for a total of about 6 hours, I changed the oil to see if it appeared to have any debris from manufacture or otherwise. It seemed perfectly clean and uncontaminated. Considering my experience thus far, I would recommend this generator.

I just unpacked this light weight generator. I had an IGen4500 watt Westinghouse generator and it was great. But it was too big for our RV needs, so I ordered this 2550 gen. I put 91 octane fuel in it with a little fuel stabilizer. Added the oil. It took a half dozen pulls on the cord but then it fired right up. It is very quiet. I think it will meet all or our traveling needs.

I bought this product in 2024 and have not used it until a couple of months ago when we had a power outage. The generator was a little difficult to start up. I found that I had to manipulate the choke and pull several times to finally get it started. After starting it did the job.

Generator is very quiet. It does a great job running my 30amp camper with air conditioning. I bought the duel fuel so I don't have to keep gasoline fumes around the camper. Very light at 42 lbs. and easy to carry. very satisfied with this purchase!!!

I was looking for an inverter generator that I could run a refrigerator and a few lights on when the power goes out at home. But, I didn't like the price tag of the Honda. I did my research and found that the Westinghouse iGen2500 was just what I needed and at a much reasonable price. So, I got online and bought one. I haven't had the chance to test it out on my house yet but I did run it in my shop with lights and small hand tools plugged in. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it worked and especially how quiet it was. I can literally stand one foot away from it and have a normal conversation without raising my voice. I love this generator.

We bought this as a backup to our main house generator. We wanted something small that would run a few things in the overnight hours when we didn't want to tend to the big gennie. Well, it does the job! We love it. It's light weight, QUIET and easy to start. We plan to carry with us on lake trips so we always have power. Can't go wrong for the price!

Item was well packaged and delivered in a timely manner. All looks ok with unit. Filled with oil and ran very little. So far seems to be well designed, light weight, compact and user friendly. I will make update after more use; however, with very limited use - so far so good. I was looking for a cover but guess I have to settle for the cord.

Had a little trouble starting unit out of the box but Westinghouse support got me up and running. Quiet unit for small jobs like one fridge, lights and device charging. Would certainly recommend for a emergency back-up during post storm power loss and/or camping.

I have owned 2 honda inverter generators which generally worked well and ran quietly but the price was insanely high and in the end I decided to try an alternative and liked the look and specs of the Westinghouse products so I initially ordered the iGen2200 for my race car track use and found it in many ways nicer than the much more expensive Honda genset, although it was a bit louder. I ended up needing another genset so bought the iGen2550c and again it works very well and is quiet enough for my needs. Pro tip: whether you purchase a Honda or Westinghouse genset, you need to rotate the choke to the setting that produces the smoothest engine note - this is where the air/fuel ratio is optimized. Leaving the genset choke at the the indentation position for 'warm' running is not always the ideal position and may result in surging or less efficient fuel consumption - if you are using stale gas you will need to move the choke closer to the 'cold start' position.
