Lightweight, user friendly.

We bought this for backup power in case of a power outage. Luckily we haven't had to use it but I did start it up and went through it's features. I found it to be very well built, compact and easy to use. The directions were easy to follow and the display was easy to understand using the directions. Excellent product for the price.

Above expectation

I was running a champion 3400 dual fuel on my lance 650 camper.suprisingly when I needed to replace that generator, I chose westinghouse. The actuality is the westinghouse is as quiet or slightly quieter then the champion was. It is also 1/2 the wieght so it can be lifted and carried. Running a 13.5 btu ac was no issue and the run time was actually 2 hours more on 1.11gal vs 1.6gal of fuel. I ill admit that I have to chose between the microwave and the ac but the trade off of not burning fuel for power that's not needed wins.

Great Features

I bought it September 5th. 2024. I unpacked it from the box, and it was packed very well. Went through the instructions and added the oil. Opened the fuel cap and opened the vent. Put the gasoline in it. Set the choke. One pull on the starter rope and it started up!!!

New Generator

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

Light and Portable and Delivers The Power

Day One, delivered in perfect condition, no scratches or broken pieces. Easy to follow instructions on set up. Man, this thing is light. Running oil provided, no problem filling with oil and gasoline. Set the choke following the start up guidelines, couple pulls and she coughed once, next pull, fired right up. Ran smooth through warm up and settled down in Eco mode. Made this purchase for our small off-road trailer. This is the smallest gen/inv that I could find that came 30amp trailer ready. Couple this with a softstart and I can run my air conditioner. I'm very impressed in my testing of this unit. Really like the digital data center that provides all the information I need to safely run this piece of hardware. Already recommended this generator/inverter to my neighbor who is looking to purchase one as well. Westinghouse, you did well.

Worked great, easy to use.

Lost power after a tree limb ripped the power lines off our house. Normally wouldn't be a problem except the spring thaw and rain from the previous day was flowing in my basement, so I needed the sump pumps running. Picked up the igen2550 once the store was open, had it running within minutes and saved us from a flooded basement.

RV 13,500 BTU A/C

The iGen2500 runs my camper RV 13,500 BTU A/C. With nothing else running, all the breakers off, and the engine warmed up the generator would take everything it had to start the A/C before the hard start capacitor was installed in the A/C unit. After the Hard start capacitor (Supco SPP6) was installed in the A/C would start no problem.

Does the Job, But Not Well Packed

I tested the generator and it works well and is as quiet as expected. It arrived on my front porch in an oil-soaked carton that was barely holding together. Luckily, there was no shipping damage to the unit. The oil bottle inside was fine, so I can only assume that the bottle in the carton stacked above it in the warehouse leaked down onto it.

Great value

I wanted a generator that was small, portable, quiet, and nimble. This one allows for gasoline or propane, which offers flexibility. Great for camping or powering a few things in the house. It came with everything I needed to start it. I think it would be tough to beat for the price if you just need something to power an item or two.

Quiet and Powerful

I bought the iGen2500 for my 2015 Keystone Hideout 210LHS which has a 13,500btu AC unit on it. I needed a generator to start and run the AC unit. I tried a Honda EU2000i and it bogged it out and tripped the breaker on the generator trying to start the AC. I tried the Honda a couple of times with no success. I left all the breakers on and let the battery charge from the camper Battery Converter (which is 55amps) while trying to start the AC because that's how it should be to me. I don't want to turn off everything to just run the AC. NOW the first time I tried the iGen2500 it also bogged down and tripped the gen's breaker. I fired up the iGen again and turned the AC unit to fan only for a little while and tried it again and guess what, she work's like a champ. It cycles the AC unit's thermostat on efficiency mode with not that much trouble. The iGen2500 display shows when the AC is on at around 50-75% or around 1600 watts. The display is mostly great. The only problem with the display is it shows in liters and not gallons or quarts. My other problem is it has 2 USB 5 volt outlets and NOT a 12 volt output. I wish it had a 12-14 volt output instead. And since this is a powerful, quiet generator, kinda made for an RV ,why doesn't it have an 30 amp STW AND 20 amp socket??? I think it's called an STW socket?? Anyway, so far so good for us. Thanks for reading
