Saved our home; best investment this year so far!

We bought this last week because we unfortunately had to go without power for a few days, we were going to stay in a hotel and thought a generator would be an investment and a short term solution. We are so happy we chose this one and already decided this is the generator for us!!

More than expected

I recently bought the Westinghouse iGeb1500c for multiple purposes but mainly to run a pitching machine for a youth team I coach right out of the box it looks great, very straightforward in initial setup which was easy. This model is very light even after a full tank of fuel and oil, it's very quiet with little to no vibration once running. First start up was effortless and smooth there's a lot more options on the front panel than I originally noticed along with very nice bright LED to light up the panel at night which are optional to turn off if you'd like. Also I didn't know it came with ECO mode which is awesome once you turn that one it's even more quiet all while making your fuel last much longer. Highly recommend this product for all around use its truthfully light enough to carry around for anything this is my first Westinghouse product but I can assure you it won't be my last.

Like the dual fuel options

Despite my husband's insistence on buying a new generator and me nagging him incessantly to test it out to make sure it worked before it was too late to return it, he waited 6 months to do so. When he had no luck starting it, I was not happy for the above reason. After some troubleshooting without luck, I suggested he try our grill propane tank vs. the large one in our yard, just in case there was a problem with it (as we rarely use it). That worked, thankfully so we are relieved. We have not tried it with gasoline, but appreciate the versatility. Hurricane season is coming and now we are ready. It is common to lose power so this will come in handy to power a fridge and some fans. Once our large propane tank is refilled or fixed, we will be in good shape for maximizing how long it will last before running out of fuel. We also bought the umbrella shade to go with this. We had bad luck with our last gasoline generator of a different brand. This one has good reviews so I am hoping it lasts.

Super quiet quality generator!

This unit is a must have for tailgating and weekend camping trips, super quiet and efficient turns camping into glamping! Small enough to tuck into the back of our 2 door wrangler with camping gear and a cooler for weekend fishing trips in the keys! Hopefully we won't have to use it for a hurricane but if so we know the power and reliability is there!

Good power, easy operation

purchased the generator for use with our camping trailer. Primarily to run air conditioner and microwave, did both with little to no effort. Has good run time. Went a whole week without having to add gas. Also I like to digital read out. easy to keep track on all your data if you want.

Perfect for shows

My fiance and I bought this generator for using at shows. He does chainsaw carving and we needed something small and quiet to run our fans and electric tools for finish work. This inverter generator was the perfect choice. Could be a little lighter, but is definitely a lot quieter than running a large generator. So happy we found one and for a decent price.

Another great Product

I have a larger Westinghouse generator (IGen4500c) that has been awesome. I needed a smaller one for camping and immediately bought another Westinghouse (iGen2550c). The generators are easy to set up and operate. They are very quiet so I don't need to worry about the noise when camping. Great products!

INVERTER GENERATOR

I live in central east Florida and expecting lots of storms this year. I have a 6500 watt generator that is just too loud and I wanted an inverter generator as they are much quieter. Out of the box and after carefully reading the book, this one started right up on propane, so glad I bought the dual fuel. Appears to be well made and something you dont see enough of is quality.

Great little generator

I bought this one as a companion to my other 2550 C to hook and parallel to run certain items in the house in case of power failure. Hooking the two smaller ones together to get more power is a lot easier for me than trying to Lug one big one around. And the overall cost is about the same. Gives me a lot more flexibility when I don't need the power of a large one

Started first pull

This is the second unit. The first unit started on the second or third pull but would only run for 5 seconds then die. I called customer service and they said someone would call me back. I didn't receive the call so the next day I called again. This time I had registered the unit and they gave me a case number. Be sure to register your generator before you call customer service! The person I spoke with asked what elevation I lived at. We are at 4,577 in Utah. He said it was probably the altitude and said they were going to have a high altitude kit available in 3 or 4 weeks. That would not do me much good since our camping trip was in 2 weeks. He wanted to listen to the unit run since I was at work I couldn't do that. I had to call back the next day and get to the same person. I started the unit and it ran for five seconds and died. Finally after starting it twice more and objecting to the altitude excuse, he finally gave an authorization to return the defective unit and sent a new generator. I received The new unit today! I went through the set up again and this time the new unit started on the first pull. It has run for about an hour with no load. Tomorrow I will run it with a light load and see what happens. I'm keeping my fingers crossed based on all the reviews. I read one review that stated how many service centers Westinghouse has. I found out they do not have a service center near my location and I'm less than fifty miles from Salt Lake City. At this point I would recommend this to a friend based on the fact that it may take a couple of tries to get one that will actually run. I know I will loose watt's when I run at a higher altitude but I still expect it start and run not shut down. I will know in a couple of weeks if it has a problem running at 7,000 - 7,500 feet of elevation. If it does I'll update this review
