I purchased this generator to use in the boatyard while working on my sailboat. I wanted dual fuel because, if you know carburetors, you know how they can go wrong on you. This allows you to utilize propane "in a pinch". There's nothing like having a backup fuel source. I have had a few complaints. 1. Fuel spill and discoloration of cover This is a materials issue. While filling it with ethanol-free fuel, I spilled some down the side of the unit. Before I realized it, the fuel had discolored the cover. This is no issue at all. I'm not trying to win a beauty contest with this thing. 2. Stopped running and set me back a couple of days. While in the yard, using the unit, it began to sputter and it eventually shut down after a few minutes. I could NOT figure out what was going on. I left the boat yard with my tail between my legs and came home. When I examined it at home, I couldn't find anything wrong but it still wouldn't start. I checked for fuel in the tank, unscrewed the bowl drain screw enough to see fuel was in the carburetor bowl, pulled the plug and checked it for spark, checked the air filter...all seemed OK. I thought I'd see if it would start on propane. When I went to use the fuel selector switch, I thought, "Maybe it got bumped in transport." I switched it to propane and back to gas, pulled the string and it sputtered to life. All seems OK now. I felt like a fool. Remember this! It might just save you a lot of headaches. My complaint is that it is not able to be "locked" into position. 3. I have to adjust the tappets! This is the biggest complaint. This unit doesn't have hydraulic lifters or rollers (like Honda). This means that you have to adjust the clearance on the valves. That's a big deal for folks who have NEVER done this type of thing before. It adds a whole new level of maintenance that really made me shake my head. I can do it because I've ridden old motorcycles for years..."OLD" being the operative term.

I am a retired electrician and have been around generators my entire career. I am quite pleased with the design features of the unit - down to the little things like oil and fuel catches. I am confident that the quality and durability will be consistent with the great functional design.

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.

I bought this a week ago and did a lot of research beforehand with my dad and brother. It's super fuel efficient and when I tested it, it started on 1st pull which impressed my dad. He was even impressed when I showed him it can run up to 12 hours on only the 1 gallon size tank. It wasn't extremely loud and only sounded like a weed wacker was running.

Great product easy to use generator. Incredible fuel efficiency a full tank can give you up to 15 hours at 50% load. I am really impressed with it. After many comparisons with other inverters on this power range I select this generator and I am extremely satisfied.

I purchase when our power was out and not scheduled to be restored for 3 1/2 days. I ran this generator for over 60 hours. It powered our freezer and sump pump in the basement. We also ran our kitchen refrigerator and non essentials like, TV, internet, lights and more.

I was looking to replace my Honda 2000 generator that I gave to my daughter. After doing extensive research I settled on the Westinghouse iGen2550 dual fuel unit. It arrived in great condition the packaging was very substantial and it contained everything you need to get the unit running. Oil, tool kit, oil filler funnel, propane regulator and hose. there was one review I looked at that claimed in order to start the unit on propane they had to start it first with gas so I was eager to get it running and see if that was the case.I filled it with the supplied oil, the side panels remove easily, filled it with 92 octane gas and it started on the second pull. it ran great and I switched on the econo mode and it idled down to a slower speed. I plugged in my portable band saw and it powered it with no problem. I purchased the unit to run my a/c on my camper a 5Amp unit, it runs great powering the a/c. I connected the unit to propane, filled the instruction pushed the regulator relief valve 3 times, it started on the 4th pull,I don't think I choked it sufficiently initially. It runs great on propane. I'm very pleased I chose the dual fuel generator I think it will be very advantageous to be able to run on either gasoline or propane. the price point for this generator is just right for a generator that will be used mainly for dry camping.. The noise level is awesome also, At 50' from the unit it is hardly noticeable. I would recommend this generator, it seems well built and has many amenities, led lights illuminate the panel at night, 30amp plug, usb ports and the price is very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this unit.

I bought this for use at my deer camp to provide lighting in my pole barn after those evening hunts. Has all the features I need. Great that I can use gasoline or the propane tank from my grill to power this thing. Starts easily. When hunting season is over I will take it home for emergency backup power.

This is my second Westinghouse generator, my first inverter type, the 2550 dual fuel. It's quiet, works well, the only issue I've had is using the eco mode on propane, it will cut off on a low load, so I just don't use eco mode with propane. It's light and appears it will serve my needs well

After researching inverter generators for our camper the Westinghouse stood out as the leader of the pack. It is very compact which makes it easy to pack for our camping trips. It is light enough at 48lbs for my wife to be able to pick up and move it around. Most importantly it is powerful enough to start and run our 10.5 btu air conditioner in our pop up camper.
