Made the Right Choice

After months of doing research and searching for a generator that I felt would be worth it's money, I decided to get the Westinghouse IGen 2550. The generator is a great addition to the other generators I have for home use. Thanks for a great product.

Recommend

First impressions I have is all positive. Instructions were easy to follow. I filled it up with oil and gasoline. Following the instructions, it started on the first pull and runs as quiet as advertised. I tested it with a heat gun to put it under a load and it did great. At this point, I am very satisfied.

Another winner!

I bought this one to complement the other identical one I bought last week. Now I can parallel them for a total of 3,600 running watts and 5,100 peak watts. The beauty of this is I can take one or both on camping/travel trips depending on how much power I require. A single generator with the same power output would weigh over 100 lbs, these are only 50 with gas and oil. After much research I find these are the most affordable quality state of the art Inverter Generators on the market.

Perfect Size and Functionality

This little generator is perfectly sized for our small ultra-light camper. We can run our 13,500 btu air conditioner, fridge and lights just fine. Te generator is considered "suitcase" size and I can easily maneuver it around our campsite and to our truck.

Nice, quiet generator!

I bought this a few weeks ago and it's a well thought out generator. It starts easily and is very quiet. I really like the drain tube to empty the carburetor float chamber because there are times when it won't be run for several months and draining the carb keeps if from clogging up. Living in Florida we get hurricanes now and again and it's comforting to know we have a power backup in case our electricity goes out. I also like the digital read out of what the generator is producing and what the load is on it. Very nice!

Great Generator

I bought this for our Aspen Trail camper and it works great. It is light weight , compact, and reasonably quiet. The best thing is the duel fuel feature. No need to haul heavy gasoline, just fill the tank for a back up fuel source and use propane. We can run the AC, electric fireplace, microwave and TV and feel right at home in remote areas. For retirees, who are past the stage of "roughing it" this is a real asset.

Well Designed

I got this for my small RV trailer, mainly to run the AC when it gets hot. First impression was how uncluttered and well arranged the generator was. It's light, compact and not that heavy - about the same as a loaded suitcase. Great manual and instructions for starting up and maintaining. Glad I read through it; it's not overly complicated and has great tips as you work through the instructions. I added full synthetic oil instead of the 10W-30 regular that came with because it has a wider operating temperature range. The included funnel is awesome (don't lose it!) as it threads into the the dipstick/fill opening - which I overfilled by accident, but it was easy to drain and get it right. The dipstick is a little difficult to read, but it works. Started on first pull and runs smooth and quiet. Tested out on some power tools and no problem. Really like this generator and looking forward to sleeping cool on road trips!

Very pleased with this generator!

We purchased this generator for foul weather because we often lose power with trees going down across Atlanta. We haven't *had* to use it yet but are glad we can keep our refrigerator running and add a couple of lights when necessary. We got it, unboxed it, added the oil and connected it to our propane tanks and it started right up after a couple of pulls. I won't say "I can't wait to use it." but I am happy we have it now for foul weather!

Great product, easy to use, very efficient.

So glad we went with this inverter. Needed power source for our wedding in the mountains, and chose to give this a try. Set up was very easy, had it up and running in no time. It handled what we needed with ease. Powered a stereo for hours, and provided charging for all of our guests and a camper overnight. Was really surprised by how quiet it was, pretty much forgot we were using a generator, though 50 people were celebrating for hours about 20 feet away the entire time. Highly recommend to others.

Love it's power and portability

It is not so heavy cosidering it makes 2,200 continues watts but it is noisier than expected (but it is not loud). You can still have a conversation next to it without shouting. Also, gas consumption is really awesome. The use I'm giving it provides me with 12 hours of use per 1 gallon of fuel.
