Here in the PNW we frequently get ice storms which knock down overhead power lines disrupting local power from a few hours to weeks. I needed a easy to use, yet powerful enough, generator to start our gas furnace when the winter ice storms hit. The Westinghouse iGen 2550DFC inverter arrived within a week of ordering in perfect condition. I'm new to portable generator use so I read the instruction manual first - it all made sense. I love it that Westinghouse included the engine oil, tools, propane couplings, and everything I needed to get the generator ready for use. When I had the generator ready it only took tool pulls to fire up the gas engine. Voila - the furnace started and kept on running. I shut the engine off after 20 minutes, let it cool down and then re-ran the test using the propane fuel. Once again - the iGEn 2550DFRC did its job perfectly. I hope I don't have to use the invertor generator too soon but, when the next ice storm hits I know this little gem is reliable and powerful enough to help keep the house warm and a few lights on until the weather passes.

Worked great for the first couple uses, but now with only 5 hours on the unit, the Off selector is no longer working... currently working with the Warranty department and pending their response to the issue, will upgrade this review to 5 stars. Assuming they fix it or replace it, I am overall pleased. The 2500 was able to power my Travel Trailer AC at 9500ft without much effort!

I bought this right before a big camping trip. I have another big 7500 watt generator also. My bigger generator is so loud and gas hungry. This generator was very quiet and could plug directly into our RV. it was able to run all the lights, charged everything that needed charge and run the microwave. It also ran the furnace flawlessly. And best of all it ran all night on a little over a gallon of gas.

After a battery problem with our camper, we decided it would be good to have the back-up capability of a small generator. We looked for (1) dual fuel because we didn't want to carry gasoline (2) campground quiet (3) a well-known name with good reviews and (4) purchased from a national organization in case we have issues while traveling. After reviewing many products online and looking at reviews on chat groups where we knew people, we narrowed our choice to a couple of generators. This Westinghouse fit the bill, seemed like a good value and was available from a national store. Starting our first camping trip with it shortly, but it was easy to assemble -- everything needed was in the box. Instructions were mostly clear (didn't say to put the access panel back on, but I guess when you're done, you put it back on!). It started on the very first pull running on propane. It's quiet, although may be a little louder than we thought, but let's see what happens when we get it going. So far, I'm a fan!

I purchased the IGen2550 in October of 2024. I have used it about 5 hours so far. It’s quiet and light and affordable. My family and I do a lot of camping and college tailgating. I have a bigger champion generator that we take camping if we are going to use the A/C. I just wanted the 2550 more for light duty camping and tailgating. To be able to leave it running most of the day so our trailer can run some tvs and stereo while only using a couple of gallons is appealing. While having it plugged into my trailer it works pretty good. I am only giving it 4 stars as it has just stopped running about 5/6 times for no reason. Fuel and gas are both in check.

When power was going to be out for 24+ hours we pulled the trigger and bought the generator. It was easy to setup came w/ the oil needed. While we had the power outage I powerd two fridges, two Fans and a ton of electronics. The generator was less than 50% power I love the LED display telling you what the generator is doing no need to guess.

I was running a champion 3400 dual fuel on my lance 650 camper.suprisingly when I needed to replace that generator, I chose westinghouse. The actuality is the westinghouse is as quiet or slightly quieter then the champion was. It is also 1/2 the wieght so it can be lifted and carried. Running a 13.5 btu ac was no issue and the run time was actually 2 hours more on 1.11gal vs 1.6gal of fuel. I ill admit that I have to chose between the microwave and the ac but the trade off of not burning fuel for power that's not needed wins.

I am a retired electrician and have been around generators my entire career. I am quite pleased with the design features of the unit - down to the little things like oil and fuel catches. I am confident that the quality and durability will be consistent with the great functional design.

I really wanted an inverter generator that was good on gas. A friend has the 2200 and loves it. It was supposed to come with a free cover after I left this review. Unfortunately they don't have any covers so I get a power strip instead. Now I need to find a cover

We're preparing for hurricane season and decided on this generator. This was a nice choice because it is easy to store due to it's size/weight and it has the option of using either gasoline or propane. We really want to use propane and the price was reasonable!
