Perfect for Camping

I purchased this about 3 weeks ago and broke it out on my last camping trip. It worked as advertised and is the perfect size to store in the bed of my pickup and am even able to close my lid. It is easy to transport. Provides the additional power needed when you are boondocking too. Looking forward to really getting to use it later in the summer when we will be doing a great deal of boon docking.

Superior engineered inverter generator.

I am very pleased with the generator's light weight. The owners manual is complete & well written. Good trouble shooting instructions. The one item that stands out most: built with a fuel filter as standard equipment. None of the previous generators owned came with fuel filters..

Runs only for a few seconds

Brand new unit right out of the box, built 11/24. The box and unit looks clean and in good condition. Set it all up per the manual. The unit starts, adjust choke, engine sounds healthy, says it's providing power, then within a few seconds (no load) it shuts down. I have only tried running off of propane since that is the only way I intend to use it. Checked the air filter, oil level, the carb drain, the fuel and air connections all look solid, spark plug is fine just a bit under the .8mm gap. The propane regulator seems to be working as far as I can tell. This model has thousands of good reviews online, so probably just a defect. Will be going through the warranty process.

new iGen2550c inverter generator

I just received my new Westinghouse inverter generator. After reading the instructions, I added the oil that came with it and put gas in it, so I could try it out. It started right up and I ran it for about an hour to try it out and to start the beak-in period. It was very easy to run. I put the ECO button on and it really quieted it down. I am very happy with it.

Great features

There are some things I like this 2550C better than the other small inverter generators. Has LED lights to light up control board, access panels require no screws to remove and both sides have access panels, bigger dipstick handle to make removal easier, clear vent line for draining float bowl, selector switch to turn off fuel and run all the gas out of the carb, and rubber flat top to store stuff on. Only downside which isn't for me is that the fuel cap vent has to be open and closed manually and has slightly less power output. Not sure if this is the newest version or the other style WH has is replacing this but I like this style and features than other WH style with slightly more power.

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.

Optimistic

Purchased it to power my home that has frequent outages. I am an ex electrician and after much research decided that this unit has superior features. Received it and have been traveling for work. I have not had any outages yet so I have not even taken it out of the box yet. Westinghouse sent me a recall on this unit due to a fire problem. I am happy that I have not had to use it yet.

Suprisingly Good

Just received the Igen2500, added oil and gas, then went to start it and it started first pull. runs smooth and quiet, then hooked it up to my R-POD with a 13500btu air conditioner, ran a/c no problem, running around 1400-1500 watts steady. tried it on another rv with a different brand a/c same results. Love the LED data display. So far very happy!
