Super quiet quality generator!

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!

Runs the A/C in the RV!

I wanted a lightweight solution to run my RV AC, and after extensive generator research I decided to install a Micro Air 364 soft starter for my 15,000 BTU RV AC. I purchased the iGen2500 due to other reviews as well as a recommendation from Micro Air. I received the generator, filled the oil and gas and it fired right up after 2 pulls. I then decided to put it to the test with the RV AC system. Plugged the RV into the generator and the A?C fired right up. I ran it for an hour or so and the generator performed awesome. So, if you are looking for a small lightweight generator to run your 15k BTU AC, go get the soft starter 364 and the Westinghouse iGen2500.

A must if you use solar power stations

I have been using this generator for the last 8 months without a hitch. It's been a must to power up my solar power stations on those cloud covered days. For those of you who are new to solar power stations you'll need an inverter generator, something like this model or larger pending on the size of your solar generator. A regular gas, or Propane gen will not work. Here's what I like about this little gen. Starts so easy, one, two pulls at the most. ALWAYS starts up. Reliable.

Extremely fuel efficient, powerful and quiet Generator

Used it during 3 weeks as home backup power after hurricane Maria struck PR leaving the Island off the power grid. In average I used it daily for 12 hours powering a refrigerator, 1-55" LED TV, 1-40" LCD TV, 8-16Watt Lamps, 2-big fans, 1 800W Expresso coffee brewer running 6 mins. cycle in the morning, and washing 2 laundry loads per week, charging my cel. phones, tablets and laptop. Very quiet and fuel efficient giving an average of 12 hours per 1 gallon of gas. Extremely satisfied with it's performance.

Easy to Start and Powerful

I bought this inverter after loosing power during hurricane Irma. The set up was easy and it powers a refrigerator and 6000 BTU air conditioner with no difficulty at around 25%. Unfortunately, the pull cord has broken and i intend to call the service number to discuss the repair. Ill update my review after the call.

Great Dual Fuel Generator

I purchased this last month to carry with us in our Fitfh wheel RV to charger the batteries is needed and to enable us to run 1 of the air conditioners while camping off the grid. I run this off of the propane system on the RV so I purchased a hose without a regulator (propane system is regulated on the RV). I found that when the generator is cold you need to pull out the manual choke to keep it running until it warms up. If you don't it will run for 30 sec to a minute then shut off like it has run out of fuel. Love the 30 amp outlet on the control panel, most smaller ones only have the 20 amp outlets.

Great amp size and unit weight

2,200 Operating Amps is ideal for boondocking my travel Camper. Should run everything I have from AC to microwave to toaster oven, just not all at once. Light weight 22Kg and compact size make it very portable. After adding Oil it started first pull. Like efficiency mode and the data display. Works great under loads up to 1,450 Watt steady draw, haven't pushed to 75% of output power yet... Will check back in after boondocking for five days this May.

Powerful and quiet. Exactly what I wanted.

I recently went camping with my RV and had two dead batteries because of my own stupidity upon arrival. I fired up my generator the next morning and just about woke up any living creature within 500 yards. I knew right then I needed an inverter generator. After doing my research i was all set and ready to buy a honda eu2200i. Then I saw a video about Westinghouse generators and was intrigued. The noise and weight of the 2500 was similar to the Honda but at nearly half the price. i bought the iGen2500 and guess what, the iGen2500 powers my 15000 BTU AC unit no problem. Now I have a light weight quiet generator that is a powerhouse. I am so glad I bought this and highly recommend it. Started with one pull straight out of the box too. Buy one and try it for yourself you will not be disappointed.

Super quite and adorable

I use a generator on weekends to run four 500watt lights for flounder gigging. I can have normal conversations on the boat while running generator all night, instead of shouting like I've had to do in the past. Not to mention it's about half the price of some brands that offer the same things ( light weight,quite, etc)

Westinghouse iGen2550DFc

I was looking to replace my Honda 2000 generator that I gave to my daughter. After doing extensive research I settled on the Westinghouse iGen2550 dual fuel unit. It arrived in great condition the packaging was very substantial and it contained everything you need to get the unit running. Oil, tool kit, oil filler funnel, propane regulator and hose. there was one review I looked at that claimed in order to start the unit on propane they had to start it first with gas so I was eager to get it running and see if that was the case.I filled it with the supplied oil, the side panels remove easily, filled it with 92 octane gas and it started on the second pull. it ran great and I switched on the econo mode and it idled down to a slower speed. I plugged in my portable band saw and it powered it with no problem. I purchased the unit to run my a/c on my camper a 5Amp unit, it runs great powering the a/c. I connected the unit to propane, filled the instruction pushed the regulator relief valve 3 times, it started on the 4th pull,I don't think I choked it sufficiently initially. It runs great on propane. I'm very pleased I chose the dual fuel generator I think it will be very advantageous to be able to run on either gasoline or propane. the price point for this generator is just right for a generator that will be used mainly for dry camping.. The noise level is awesome also, At 50' from the unit it is hardly noticeable. I would recommend this generator, it seems well built and has many amenities, led lights illuminate the panel at night, 30amp plug, usb ports and the price is very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this unit.
