Quiet, great features.

I bought the iGen2600 in May in preparation for hurricane season. This was my primary reason, and I also wanted a small, quiet generator to use for camping trips. Because of the Covid-19 situation, I haven't had the opportunity to fully put the little generator through it's paces, but so far I am very impressed! After filling with oil and fuel it started right up with one pull, and ran very quietly and smoothly, powering several small appliances. I especially appreciate the LED data center which makes keeping an eye on fuel levels, power usage and maintenance schedule a breeze. If possible, I will update my review after using the generator more extensively, but right now, I am extremely happy with my purchase!

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.

Great little generator

I bought this one as a companion to my other 2550 C to hook and parallel to run certain items in the house in case of power failure. Hooking the two smaller ones together to get more power is a lot easier for me than trying to Lug one big one around. And the overall cost is about the same. Gives me a lot more flexibility when I don't need the power of a large one

Good first impression

I was set to purchase a competitors product (the red one) and came across the iGen2500. The specs were better than the competition and the price about 1/2 with a good 3 year warranty. It was delivered within 2 days and arrived in good shape with no shipping issues. I followed the instructions for pre-startup (basically add oil), and on the 3rd pull it fired off. I let it run for about 1/2 hour and then shut it off. A week later I decided to test it out on my trailer. This time it started on the first pull (and has every other time since). I plugged the trailer in and started turning on lights, then the refrigerator and finally the AC (13,500 watts). I was running the iGen on economy mode and when I turned on the AC the generator immediately increased the revs to accommodate the load, without issue. So far this appears to be a well designed and built product. I really have no complaints. I did call Westinghouse support prior to purchase and got a very knowledgeable and pleasant rep on the phone after a very short wait. My questions were answered quickly. I was very pleased that customer service was so good and so quick - that bodes well for any future issues I may have. Time will tell with this generator, but I have a feeling that if I maintain it per the manual, I should be using it well past the 3 year warranty.

2200 continuous watts and a three year warranty!

This is the third brand of inverter generator I recently purchased (other two were returned unused). The first brand could not be paralleled. The second was only 1600 watts continuous. This unit is 2200 watts continuous and comes with a three year warranty!

Better than expected

I bought this generator to use to charge the batteries on my boat. Needed something quiet so as not to disturb the neighbors. Everybody commented on how quiet it was and wanted to know where I got it. Ended up buying another one to hook and parallel to run the house in case of power failure

Exactly what I hoped for

Even though I have only used the generator a short time it is performing very well. Setup was easy and it starts with two pulls, runs strong, and handles the tool loads well. I love the ECO mode as noise is much less than my other generators. Data display is great for checking operation and hour meter is nice for keeping the maintenance schedule. Its better than I expected and count on it lasting a long time.

Finally!

I have had a need for a small inverter generator as my main one is too big to carry camping, hunting, etc. After months of studying, I settled on the igen2550dfc due to reliability, price, power, and dual fuel capabilities. It went on sale 2 weeks ago and I was able to get one from a reputable dealer for an awesome price. The cord is super easy to pull and it starts up very easy. I can't wait to hook it up to my travel trailer after the 25 hour break in period.

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

Very Satisfied...

Totally new to inverter generators...needed a generator to power our home oil furnace in case of a long power outage...after a long time taking to research what to buy...the Westinghouse iGen2550C was our number 1 choice. As we write this review, and having used only a few times the unit our first impression is an Aplus (satisfied)...the unit is lightweight 40Lbs, easy to operate, one pull gets it started and is extremely quiet. No regrets at all.
