Westinghouse inverter

bought today and have to say right out of the box is easy to set up. came with all the required items to set up with the oil, parallel cords, and funnel. Once all gas and oil was added start up was super easy in one pull fired right up. Have not gotten to use it on my RV yet, but I have no question it will work just fine for what I need.

Great little generator

Used this on a few camping trips so far and it has been nothing but excellent. I do recommend you change the oil 4 times during the break in period so it is clean of metal shavings and set for a long run life. Super quite and sips on gas. starts on every first pull after break in period and me and my wife just love it.

GREAT -

early for writing review but they are throwing in gift. Very impressed with things included like 1st round of oil, funnel/spout all hoses, etc. I'am quite sure I'll be super happy with performance but weeks to month out of getting generator ready for RV use.

Power Backup For Camper

After a battery problem with our camper, we decided it would be good to have the back-up capability of a small generator. We looked for (1) dual fuel because we didn't want to carry gasoline (2) campground quiet (3) a well-known name with good reviews and (4) purchased from a national organization in case we have issues while traveling. After reviewing many products online and looking at reviews on chat groups where we knew people, we narrowed our choice to a couple of generators. This Westinghouse fit the bill, seemed like a good value and was available from a national store. Starting our first camping trip with it shortly, but it was easy to assemble -- everything needed was in the box. Instructions were mostly clear (didn't say to put the access panel back on, but I guess when you're done, you put it back on!). It started on the very first pull running on propane. It's quiet, although may be a little louder than we thought, but let's see what happens when we get it going. So far, I'm a fan!

Just what I was looking for!!

I bought this inverter generator primarily for it's features---data display, 30 amp plug (although I am still limited to 1800 running watts), weight, and excellent reviews from previous buyers. Filled it with oil & gasoline last evening. Started fairly easily without much effort. Tried several power tools without a problem. The eco mode worked perfectly---the power tools barely increased the RPM's. The unit is exceptionally quiet. So far the IGen2550 has met all of my expectations. Very few of the small inverter generators I considered had a 30 amp RV outlet even though the unit is not capable of producing 30 amps. Also the LED data display is outstanding for a unit of this size. Very pleased with my purchase.

Generator Won't Start - DOA

Received the generator. Followed the quick start guide, added the supplied oil, added new gas, turned off ECO mode, turned vent cap on, set the choke, pulled about 20 times on the recoil pull cord. No start. Did not turn over. Set to run and everywhere in-between and kept pulling the recoil cord but engine would not turn over at all. Checked the spark plug. Appeared fine but completely dry. Drained the fuel out of the carburetor, appeared the fuel was getting from the tank to the carburetor. Opened the carburetor, ran compressed air thru the fuel injector. Put back together and refueled. Still could not get to turn on. Opened the front panel. A two-wire black and red connector was disconnected but did not appear to attach to anything upon inspection. Everything else appeared fine. Put front panel back on. I think I got a lemon. I'm going to try Westinghouse support and see where I get.

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 features for the price

I purchased the 2550c for off grid camping at the beach. I found the inverter to be very accommodating and worked as expected. It starts on 2nd pull and sips gas. It will not run my 13500 RV A/C. And I am a little disappointed at that. I would recommend this product for camping. It's extremely quiet.

A great generator from a great company

This review is for the Igen2500. First of all, let me say that I have been using this generator only for about a week, but I have been putting it through its paces every way I know how. I've been running it nonstop for hours and hours, I've been using the air conditioner on my RV, I've been cycling things on and off from no load to full load and just running the heck out of it as much as I can to make sure I got a good one. Besides that I have been pestering them relentlessly through email and conversations and they have been so nice every step of the way. Every question I have had for them regarding this generator and how it works and if certain things are normal they have responded to either by email or asking for my phone number and calling me right back and have just been wonderful. I have talked to customer service, I've talked to sales, I've talked to engineering and I have been pleased with everything. The generator runs like a charm, I don't know how Honda's run when it comes to generators but I have one of the nicest Honda mowers that they make. This runs every bit as well as my Honda lawnmower. It puts out enough power to turn on my air conditioner on my RV with nothing else and that's 13500 BTUs. If I pay attention to what's drawing power there's nothing in my camper I can't run with just this one generator, and as soon as I can I'm going to buy another so that I can parallel because I know I'll have plenty of power. If you're looking for a generator and customer support is important to you, then buy this generator. I have had questions about the voltage it puts out, about how hot the exhaust gets, about the lights on the display, and I have been told every step of the way exactly why it does everything it does and that if something goes wrong they will fix it or replace it and that they'll make it right. I just can't express enough how well they do customer service. I would give 20 Stars if I could.

Exactly what I hoped for

Even though I have only used the generator a short time it is performing very well. Setup was easy and it starts with two pulls, runs strong, and handles the tool loads well. I love the ECO mode as noise is much less than my other generators. Data display is great for checking operation and hour meter is nice for keeping the maintenance schedule. Its better than I expected and count on it lasting a long time.
