Quality is Evident

I bought this generator after my last multi-day power outage. The generator was delivered as promised and really seems like a quality, well-built product. Clear instructions provided which made set-up and initial start-up a breeze. Now ready for the next time the lights go out and stay out for an extended period of time.

So far so good

I bought this based on price and features as a backup for my RV. Although the quick start information wasn't packaged in the box as it is supposed to be, the owners manual helped me get it started. It started and ran fine but I haven't really used it under load. I struggled getting it registered since the address Westinghouse provides simply dumps you into their website and without a dropdown for registration, you have to look all over for the registration page.

iGen2550c Inverter Generator

Easy to set up and operate, and the noise level is very acceptable for campground use. Love that I can connect a 30 amp RV cord directly to it without any adaptors. The manual says it doesn't come with the wires needed to run 2 units in parallel but maybe that's just leftover verbiage from other models because both units came with cords. And they're super easy to use, truly just plug and play. Keep in mind that when you run in parallel you will not be able to take advantage of ECO mode...which makes sense anyway because you would typically only be running in parallel if you're providing power to something large like an RV AC unit. You don't want to be in ECO mode when something that large cycles on. But just know that when the AC cycles off your generators will not idle down while it's off, so no fuel savings! However, it does appear they will make it through the night on a full tank...will try to follow up on this later when I know for sure.

Perfect for camping

I have to admit I was a little skeptical of all the reviews claiming it started on the first pull... But... My 2500c started first pull. It was much quieter than I expected. I plan to use it in my small camper with my a small plug-in heater when I don't need the furnace and also to power a small microwave. The only complaint was I should have bought this gem years ago. It is right up there with generators that cost over double. Great Generator!!!

Great little unit for camping

Bought this iGen2500 because it is only 46 lbs and is rated somewhere at 53/59dB. My old generator is 98lbs and about 70dB. It starts easy and is pretty quiet, although any load at all will cause it to increase RPM and noise level. Noticeably louder than my friends Honda 1600/2000, but it's more powerful. I'm hoping after I add a starter capacitor to my 13,500 BTU AC unit that it will be able to run that too. We'll see. Would prefer being able to check the oil without having to remove the side panel with a screwdriver (2 screws and 4 holding pins). Also, the digital screen is hard to read during daylight hours, and cycles 4 sets of numbers. It's supposed to show run time (since started?) and total run time (like an hour meter). Can't make any sense out of the numbers that show here, so I've put in a request from Westinghouse for an explanation. Expecting many years of RV use on this unit.

Nice Backup

I bought this as an emergency backup and light boondocking for my travel trailer. It's got enough power to run the A/C and then some. Love that I don't have to carry around gas and in a pinch I can connect to a propane tank and be up and running. It's quiet enough and easy to use. Great unit.

Very Quiet and a Good Price

I have just purchased 2 of the iGen2500 based on research. I need 2 for my new trailer to power everything. I like the fact that there are USB ports built in as well the digital display of all the key metrics. Lastly the power cord to connect 2 generators is very easy to use, made hooking the trailer up a snap.

Perfect size

I was looking at a couple different manufacturers but kept coming back to this one for all the features. I like how I can connect this model to another inverter of different sizes. I am going to do a break in and I started this and it's super quiet. I think this will be a great addition to my equipment and for back up for some items if the power would go out .

Started first pull

Followed the simple start-up guide and ran for over an hour the first time. I charged portable battery generators for camping. In ECO mode you can hear the idle down (or up) depending how much power you are pulling. Exactly what I was looking for and looking forward to using for camping!
