This unit is a must have for tailgating and weekend camping trips, super quiet and efficient turns camping into glamping! Small enough to tuck into the back of our 2 door wrangler with camping gear and a cooler for weekend fishing trips in the keys! Hopefully we won't have to use it for a hurricane but if so we know the power and reliability is there!

The Inverter is well built. The build quality is evident while unpacking the unit. We bought this unit to power a small refrigerator dedicated for insulin as well as the large main food and beverage French door refrigerator for power outages. This unit handles both refrigerators with no issue. The unit is very quite as it runs on our deck without disturbing the neighbors.

This unit will be a great addition to my travel trailers ability to be self sufficient. Having the 30 amp receptacle will make it for easy connection along with the dual fuel feature, and light weight, I will be able to operate the iGen 2550 with my onboard propane tanks. Can't wait for camping season to start my charging arsenal.

Very impressed with the very easy pull - almost no back pressure at all, starts right up and quiet running. Easy access to oil and spark plug and nice pad on top for setting phone or small battery pack while charging. Display is bright and LED front panel lights are a nice add. Looking forward to using on camping, ATV, snowmobile and ice fishing trips.

I am a first time generator owner/user. The manual has references to things that do not have precise correspondence to the tables. Example, Page 20 refers to "relief valve" without referencing a table or figure number. There is a figure that describes something as a "valve". Are the the same thing? I don't know, because I am a first time generator owner/user. That produced uncertainty in my setting up and using the product. The manual should have said on page 16 approximately how much volume of oil to initially service the unit (iGen2550DFc) with. It turns out that it needed the whole container supplied with the generator, but it should would have been nice if I had known that, because the manual said on page 16 to stop frequently (and presumably check), and it says, in bold, "DO NOT overfill", which was very cumbersome since the supplied funnel needs to be screwed into the oil dipstick hole. The manual's specific instructions on page 20 for starting the engine were ambiguous. It said that if it didn't start, one should repeat steps, but it didn't say which steps to repeat.

I totally over-researched portable inverter generators before finally settling on the iGen2500. I wanted something to have on hand for our next power outage and a portable inverter unit fit the bill nicely. Setup was a breeze with everything included in the box except for a standard Philips screw driver. The setup sheet and manual are clear and easy to understand. The unit is small and light enough to easily store on a shelf in the garage. I don't have much to compare it to, but the iGen2500 is pretty quiet. The design is clever with an easily-removable side panel to access the oil fill/drain and fuel bowls. As I don't anticipate using the iGen a whole lot, I really like that the fuel system includes a bowl drain and hose to quickly and easily prepare the unit for a return to storage. One of the features that helped me settle on the iGen2500 was the ability to run in parallel mode with another iGen if I ever need it. Westinghouse's parallel cord setup seems simpler and easier to use than others and provides the standard home 120v style outlets a homeowner would need. While not looking forward to it, I finally feel confident and ready for the next time we lose power.

The iGen2550DFC impresses at every thing it does. It arrives well equipped with everything needed to run on both gasoline and propane, including a basic maintenance tool kit, break-in oil, a slick screw-in funnel, propane regulator, a four foot propane hose, spark plug wrench, Philips screwdriver, quick start guide, and a comprehensive user manual. Following the Quick Start Guide results in effortless starting. The iGen2550DFc idles very quietly, very smoothly. With a full 1700 to 1800 watt load it proves itself one of the quietest generators in its class. I use it supplement the solar system, even replace it, on my fifth wheel RV. I Love this generator. My only disappoint was the lack of an LED display including an hour meter as described in the seller's advertisement and the Westinghouse User Manual. I highly reccomend this generator. I'll update this review after I purchase another iGen2550DFc generator- soon, I hope.

Initial impressions are quite good. Seems to have a better overall fit and finish compared to my WH2400i. The entire side can be removed for maintenence which seems much more convenient than my 2400 though valve lash adjustment requiring access to the valve cover still appears to require a more complete disassembly much like the 2400. Love the runtime indicator as it helps to make scheduling maintenance less of a guessing game.

I've only use it once for four hours but it ran very well, was very efficient, and was unbelievably quiet. (I couldn't get over how quiet it was….I really couldn't hear it from 25 yards away.) I only had two fans on it as the load, but was still very impressed. I'm looking forward to using it again in the future for situations that are planned and emergency unplanned uses out of necessity.

So easy to get up and running. Instructions are easy to follow. Generator started on the third pull. It is quiet. I wanted to test it to be sure it worked and was not damaged in shipment. It ran perfectly on propane and powered a small heater. I hope to never have to put gasoline in it. Exactly what I was looking for. I also hope to receive my bonus gift dust cover for leaving this review.
