Easy start

I recently bought this generator to replace one that was difficult to start. The igen2550c started on the second pull right out of the box. It was easy to setup with very clear instructions. I plugged in a refrigerator and a light with no problem and runs much quieter then my old one. I am very pleased with this purchase

Great amp size and unit weight

2,200 Operating Amps is ideal for boondocking my travel Camper. Should run everything I have from AC to microwave to toaster oven, just not all at once. Light weight 22Kg and compact size make it very portable. After adding Oil it started first pull. Like efficiency mode and the data display. Works great under loads up to 1,450 Watt steady draw, haven't pushed to 75% of output power yet... Will check back in after boondocking for five days this May.

So far so good

After reading many reviews and talking with friends who have RVs; decided to go with the iGen2550DFc. Just got it today. Ran it for a little while just to load test it. Seems to work fine. Much quieter than our 1999 Coleman 5500 Generator and easier to handle! I do wish it had an hour meter for maintenance.

Great Features and Operation

In researching 2500 Watt Inverter Generator's, I found Westinghouse iGen2550 inverter generator the best value with great features for the cost. I will use the generator for my RV, one deciding factor was to 30AMP plug, so I don't need an adapter to plug in my trailer. The 1800 Running watts on gas will operate all features on the RV including my AC. I'd recommend this generator to anyone. It's the best value and features on the market tday!

Great Backup

After many hurricane seasons without a back up Generator, I decided to purchase this one ahead of this year's season. I was able to send it to family in the mountains of North Carolina who were impacted by Helene, and it worked great for them. Easy to use and reliable, exactly what I'm looking for in a backup generator. I look forward to using it for camping as well.

Small Generator for Home Power Outages

The iGen1500c is just what we needed to power essentials during home power outages. For example, we found we could not open our rather heavy garage door during an outage, and our cars were in the garage. The inverter includes two 20 amp outlets, other outlets to plug cell phone chargers directly to the unit, and parallel connectors. The iGen1500c is quiet, very easy to start, and the thorough instructions are easy to understand.

Well designed. Great for RV

Compact and easy to carry. I bought 2 of the 2550DFc generators with 50 amp parallel cable, instead of one 5000 watt to save my back. The access panels are easy to remove. It starts on first pull almost always. You do have to have fuel on, ignition on, choke on, and fuel tank vent open. Cool design features: gas tank vent can be closed to keep air out during storage, there is a carburetor drain valve with tubing, oil fill is easy by tipping the generator and screwing in the funnel with a gasket, it comes with the right- sized oil bottle. My serial number for warranty registration is by the spark plug on a paper sticker. It is not labeled and looks different in the owners manual. The duel fuel model does not have the electronic display of amps , fuel level, and run time. In parallel mode the manual says not to run in Eco mode; this is so the 60Hz cycles can stay synced up. I am loving mine and strongly recommend it. I hauled it around in a lawn wagon and trimmed tree limbs with a light weight 120v electric chain saw on a pole.

Worked Right Out The Box

Ugly storms came rolling in; lost power. Received a notice the power would not be restored for 6-8 hour time span. Sump pit was filling and starting to fill the perimeter tile. Ran to Menards, picked up, placed in operation, kept a dry finished basement.

Excellent Portability

After researching on portable generators for over 3 months, every brand, I selected the westinghouse igen 2500. I compared weight, fuel consumption, noise level, and portability. Bottom line, this beats all in combination of my requirements. Super buy, super performance, noise levels was surprising once I hit the efficiency button. Used it over a month with small lapses. Running simultaneously refrigerator, lamp, fan and a coffee maker with barely 50% of power. Love it!

Powerful, easy to start, and performed well right out of the

I am using this generator to power my travel trailer. I added oil and gas to it and it started on the third pull. Plugged the power cord from my travel trailer into the generator after letting it warm up for a couple minutes. I turned on everything in the trailer and the generator ran fine and was very quiet. I could not hear it from inside the trailer.
