Exactly what I had hoped for

Pros: - Oil & funnel included - Started for first time on first pull - Light (for me at least) - LCD readout is useful - Paralleling function works Cons: - A phillips-head screwdriver is needed to take the side off (no big deal really) This little devil turned out to be everything that I had expected and hoped for. The box arrived somewhat damaged, but I went ahead and opened it anyway, and the generator was just fine. There's a small container of oil and a funnel that come in the box. It took almost no effort to fill the oil reservoir; just pop the cover off and fill it up. My generator took the whole jug of the provided oil. I did not add any additional oil. Before the first start, I filled the gas tank about halfway with ethanol free gas from the local Bucees. I choked the engine, and it started on the first pull. After about 5, maybe 10 seconds, it became clear that it no longer needed the choke, so I dialed it down to the "Run" position and the generator ran just fine. The parallel cable works very well. Another guy at the office bought the same generator and the parallel cable, so we tested it out with a series of shop fans and a portable A/C unit. The load balancing appears to work well (18% & 26% with fans; 80% & 82% with A/C and fans). 10/10 would recommend!

Nice control panel & lightweight

Just purchased have not started up. Reviewed manual and looked over the controls , warning lights. Great features and I like the light weight of this. Great price. Would be ever better if it had a holder to keep tools with it inside like my Honda generator . Fuel drain features are smart

Perfect Hurricane Generator!

I thoroughly researched inverter generators for not only as an alternate power source for my recreational vehicle but also for an emergency power source for my home in case of an extended power outage. I live on the Gulf of Mexico and witnessed what Hurricanes Michael and Ian did. It was bad enough to lose home air conditioning, but to lose all the food in my home fridge was costly. So, next time, my Westinghouse iGen2550DFc will power not only the home fridge but will simultaneously power my rv's ac in the driveway. Already ops checked and this inverter generator powers them BOTH easily! Starts first pull, great features, easy to carry, love the dual fuel capability, overall best product at fantastic price for my needs! Thanks Westinghouse!

Very nice inverter!!

I've been looking for a small inverter to put in our 5th wheel for a backup in case of power loss. Wanting something small and lite this fit the bill. Just purchased yesterday 10/4/23 so haven't had time to use, just ran it for a couple hours to break in. Filled it with the oil supplied and gas and started it on the first pull. Very quiet, like the gauges & LED lights. All in all, can't beat it for the price and features.

Really great small generator with big output!

Pleased with the fit and finish of the unit, very light weight, and so quiet while running. It meets all our expectations right out of the box. Fired up 2nd pull, and ran my tools easily. Will try it on the boat to see how many items can be powered up. Once again, I am very impressed with how quiet this genset is...quite impressive.

Starts so Easy !

Bought this to power-up my pop up camper this hunting season . Filled it with oil and gas , it was running on first gentle pull ! Wow ! Using it on and off around the house , to get the first tank of gas through it , but it isn't using much gas so it will be awhile before I'll know how long it will run on a tank . So Far so good !!!

iGen2550

The unit seems like it is put together well. I like the features and the price point. One problem though. My unit will not shut off with the selector switch. It came like this new out of the box, which was disappointing. I have to wait for the fuel line to run out of fuel before the unit will shut off. The warranty department has been prompt and helpful. The closest service center is a half hour away, which isn't great. Hopefully this will be the only issue.

Excellent Product

I bought the iGen2550 generator back in May, and have used the generator extensively since then. We purchased the product to power tools where we don't have access to a power supply and a mobile inflatable that our company owns. The iGen is lightweight and has a descent running time (for our purposes). We are extremely happy with this product.

First Impressions

Received my new iGen2500 in great condition. Everything ready to go, just add the oil that was provided. Started with first pull. Running quiet, minimal vibration. First impression was great. Will have to follow up when I have had a chance to put a few hours on it
