Out of the box, it is ready to go as soon as you add the necessary oil and gas. It started right up and within minutes, I had power to the camper. I went through all the utilities and appliances and it never overloaded. I went through all the camping scenarios and it was still all good. I am very excited to have this as a backup or when we are in the remote areas with no hookups. So far, this is a great product!

I bought this a month ago and it is a decent unit that is portable, runs pretty quiet and decent fuel economy. Perfect for the back up, and small portable power unit I was looking for. Happy that I went with Westinghouse. I have confidence in the brand

Just fired the 2550 up for the first tme yesterday. Easy set up and good instructions. Tested it by plugging in some items, especially some that draw more power. It worked. I plugged my 30 amp camper plug in and started the air conditioner. Unfortunately, it overloaded the generator. Saw a trick to turn off some circuit breakers first that may also be drawing power. Will try that next. Looking forward to using this for many years to come.

Will be using for tailgating, although we have Hurricane Irma bearing down on us now. Difficult starting now. Spark plug was screwed in very tight. Once I took it out and reinstalled, it started right up. Starts best when choke isn't fully engaged. Quieter than I expected.

As many of us found out with Hurricane Helene, you can never be too-prepared! I would have had this generator a lot sooner. Having made bought this, I feel that my emergency/prep cache has become immensely improved. I look forward to many years of (hopefully) not having to use it, but will possess the comfort of it's power should we need it!

Just unpacked this product after receiving it from UPS. Straightforward instructions and packaged with everything needed except fuel. The unit is lightweight and very portable. Access doors on sides make getting to engine much easier than my old Honda Eu2000. Pay attention to run/ choke/ off settings as choke is all the way at end of the 4 options, not before run setting. Unit is quiet and the led display is easy to read.

It is well built. The unboxing was good. It came with everything I needed, oil, funnel, a small tool kit, cables to run it in parrallel with another. I fired it up on propane with no problem. I plugged in my air compressor and the rpm's came up just as advertised. It has an ECO MODE. I'm not sure how that operates yet. i will do some reading.

Just bought after a power outage. Only needed it for about 6 hours but it ran my refrigerator and a pump that circulates the water in my koi pond just fine. Didn't even put much of a load on it. No issues so far. Can't speak on durability yet but it operates as stated so far. Going to see if it'll run my furnace next.

I received my IGen2500 3-10-18, unpacked it, read manual and added oil. 3-11-18 filled fuel tank and started it on 2nd pull. Plugged in my trailer and immediately turned on 2 800w heaters generator ran great no trouble. Turned them off and fired up my 13.5 btu air conditioner and no problems on coolest setting and highest fan setting not a sputter for 1 hour. I wanted to see how much more power it had so I turned on 1 of my heaters, in about 30 sec the over voltage light flashed and in about another 30 sec did it again so i turned off the heater. Tomorrow I will try Air conditioner and refrigerator.

Unit appears sturdy and startup is easy. Don't know if run-time will suit my needs since I'll use it for hunt camp heater and it's spring right now but it is smooth running and quiet. It also has some nice features and sells for an excellent price point.
