My primary purpose in purchasing a generator is to have a relatively quiet power source for my RV's air conditioner system. This generator was recommended by a company that produces a "soft start" product to enable small generators to start the AC compressor. The generator performs as expected. I am delighted to be able to run my AC! It is a bit louder than I anticipated, but nothing I can't live with.

We purchased this for a light concessions day and it was so easy and quiet and worked perfectly. Then a week later, we ended up having to use it in an emergency after a storm knocked our power out for the day. We were able to power both refrigerators for 24 hours without having to refuel.

After re-attaching the throttle cable that somehow came loose during the bumpy ride to the campsite, the unit started up and remained on throughout the duration of the day. It ran flawlessly. The noise level at first seemed higher than expected, but that's due to being next to the unit. Once it's placed in a designated area and you go about your other tasks you hardly notice that it's on.

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.

I originally purchased this generator to run my working lights and heat lamps for a shed that didn't have electricity over the winter. This generator worked very well. It would work for long hours, and I could rely on it. The sound wasn't overwhelming, and I didn't have to worry about the neighbors complaining if I had to let it run overnight.

I purchased this generator to charge the batteries in my boat when I am not next to power and it works and sounds amazing! We have also been able to use this to run power tools and charge personal electronics with the USB ports. I am very pleased with this unit and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Excellent generator. The front display panel is great and a big improvement over the Honda my father has. I have used it a few times now just for testing, running the window AC I have in my garage and it handles that perfectly. The only gripes I have, and the reason I gave it 4 stars is that you have to open the side panel fairly often (to empty the fuel and check the oil level if you only use it occasionally) and there is no good way to grab it to pull it off. A small finger pull or handle molded into it would make this generator perfect.

I bought this for the “minor emergencies” where the power will be out a few hours. I pull out the big Westinghouse out for major events. This little generator will run a 5000 BTU a/c plus more without a problem. I trust the Westinghouse name, I've been burned on cheap generators.

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.

We bought this to power our teardrop camper, primarily for off-grid use. A couple hours per day keeps the camper battery charged to run the 12v refrigerator/freezer, and it also lets use make coffee or toast in the morning, or run the A/C in the evening from the generator. Does not consume much gas from our use so far.
