I purchased this in order to be able to install and paint fences, and have used this to power a paint sprayer and an air compressor that I use to shoot fence nails and/or staples when building fences. This generator provides plenty of power for these small applications and runs an entire workday on a singles tank of gas. Not only that, this generator is quiet enough that you can talk over it without shouting. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and still kept working even after I accidentally doused it in fence paint. I highly recommend this model.

I bought this to use when camping in areas without power -remote backcountry areas. Like many others I was attracted to this unit because of its dual fuel capabilities and affordable price point. From the get-go, it has been nothing but problems trying to get this unit running consistently. Wondering whether I will get it started each time (and whether it will run properly) gives me severe anxiety. I need this unit to be reliable. When this is your only source of power, your lifeline in the backcountry or during a power outage, this is unacceptable. Each time I run this I have to play with the choke, play with the propane, turn the unit on and off again, and struggle until I nearly wrench my back. I have changed the oil, spark plug, air filter …and taken all of the recommended steps for troubleshooting. I think I will be selling this to someone who wants to dissect it and purchase something better…which at this point would be anything that actually works. I thought Westinghouse was a great brand based on reviews, but I should've focused more on the problematic ones, of which there are many. Buy once, cry once.

Purchased on dec 3 2025. In case we had bad weather. Today is Jan 22 2026 and guess what very bad weather coming. This is the second one I've owned last one got stolen These are really good generators. Quite,good on gas,easy to start,light weight,look good lol.

We found the iGen 2550 a great match for our 16ft camper and a better choice than the small Honda generator I was going to buy. With a direct 3prong 30amp connection to the camper (Honda didn't have that!) easy pull starting and LED digital data display altogether make this Westinghouse generator the perfect fit for our camping needs!

I bought this generator a yer ago to take to Florida and clean out our flooded house. A basic power supply was what I needed that was easily portable, the 2550 was a perfect fit. It started on the third pull after filling oil and gas, provided lights and tool battery recharging with no complications, Been busy remodeling our house in Illinois and kept it for emergencies. None yet in Illinois.

I bought this generator brand new. I took it out of the box the night before an ice storm to prepare it for operation. I filled the gas tank. When I woke up in the morning the gas had all drained out from a problem of poor manufacturing at the assembly. There should be better quality control. Hopefully they will make this right and fix the problem at no cost to me.

I bought it last week after the power went out along the Colorado front range. It worked flawlessly and thankfully saved the ice cream!! It was a little louder than I expected but no louder than my next door neighbor's. I recommend using a regular funnel and tipping the unit a bit to avoid a spill. The included funnel with many ribs dripped when removing it. The included oil was just the right amount. I didn't need to check the level many times while filling the first time. If you overfill, it's easy to dump some oil out😃

Bought this to generator to power my watermaker on my sailboat when my diesel generator died. I can plug this generator (30 Amp plug) directly into my boat and run all systems. Very quiet which was a consideration so as not to impact other boats in the anchorages. Has rubber feet so no vibration on deck. Came with oil and funnel and sparkplug tool. Nice unit!

Good generator that is quite and gets the job done.

Worked well during brief power outage. Reasonably quiet.
