Bought this as insurance for if my power goes out again from a future hurricane or winter ice storm to make sure my basic needs are met like running refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, sump pump, a few lights, tv and internet, and charging of laptop and phones until power is restored. Bonus is that unit is so portable I can take it with me if going out into a non-powered campsite etc.

It is not so heavy cosidering it makes 2,200 continues watts but it is noisier than expected (but it is not loud). You can still have a conversation next to it without shouting. Also, gas consumption is really awesome. The use I'm giving it provides me with 12 hours of use per 1 gallon of fuel.

I bought this a few weeks ago and it's a well thought out generator. It starts easily and is very quiet. I really like the drain tube to empty the carburetor float chamber because there are times when it won't be run for several months and draining the carb keeps if from clogging up. Living in Florida we get hurricanes now and again and it's comforting to know we have a power backup in case our electricity goes out. I also like the digital read out of what the generator is producing and what the load is on it. Very nice!

Working well so far, easy to setup, and arrived with enough engine oil to get started. I'll be using it to supplement a home back-up system and so I can charge batteries during adverse weather. The ability to use propane was a big deciding factor. I wish it tallied running hours but otherwise so far, so good.

This iGen2550 inverter generator is awesome! Couldn't believe how quiet it runs. Add a 15 Amp load and you can barely hear any increase in speed/sound. Easy to start. Great digital indicators. Easily runs my table saw, miter saw, or other tools (one at a time). Love it.

After much research I found this Westinghouse igen 2500 to be the best overall inverter generator for use at home during occassional power outages. Adequate to run my large refrigerator/freezer, tv, fans, computer, cell phone, coffee maker with power to spare. Very quiet, efficient and lightweight with good warranty from a great American Company, i.e. Westinghouse.. Great price too from AP Electric & Generators, WI

I have only used the generator with propane fuel. It was easy to start and worked without issue. It is not as quiet as some inverter generators but is not loud as generators go. When considering quality, price, features and warranty, it would be a hard generator to beat

Bought the generator and I am extremely happy. The directions were excellent. Everything to start and use the generator was included. Directions were easy and she started right up. Ran for a long time with no interruptions. Powered my AC unit in my camper which I am thrilled about. For the weight and size this generator is awesome and perfect for my needs. Glad I bought it...very happy!

I've had this igen2550 inverter generator for about 3 weeks now. And it works great. Does everything i need it to do. And runs very smoothly. Holds a little over 1gal of gas and will run for me about 8 to 10 hrs on eco mode with approximately a 50% load. I'm very satisfied with this product.

Works great and is actually pretty quiet. When under a full load it gets loud but hey.. It's a generator lol the first one I received the cord got stuck out and would not go in after the 2nd pull but they sent me a replacement instantly so great customer service!
