I thoroughly researched inverter generators for not only as an alternate power source for my recreational vehicle but also for an emergency power source for my home in case of an extended power outage. I live on the Gulf of Mexico and witnessed what Hurricanes Michael and Ian did. It was bad enough to lose home air conditioning, but to lose all the food in my home fridge was costly. So, next time, my Westinghouse iGen2550DFc will power not only the home fridge but will simultaneously power my rv's ac in the driveway. Already ops checked and this inverter generator powers them BOTH easily! Starts first pull, great features, easy to carry, love the dual fuel capability, overall best product at fantastic price for my needs! Thanks Westinghouse!

We bought our generator in preparation of Hurricane Irma after behind left without power for 8 day following Hurricane Matthew. Luckily we didn't need to use it this Hurricane season. We started it up just to check everything and the unit is quiet and powerful. It was easy to start. We are very happy with out purchase.

AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND MANY REVIEWS, I CHOOSE THE WESTINGHOUSE IGEN2500 AND IT IS BETTER THAN EXPECTED. THE UNIT IS STURDY AND SEEMS TO BE WELL BUILT. IT STARTS EASILY AND IS QUIET ENOUGH TO HAVE A NORMAL CONVERSATION NEXT TO IT. I HAVE USED OTHER GENERATORS THAT WERE SO LOUD YOU HAD TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE YARD TO TALK. IT IS RELATIVELY LIGHT WEIGHT AND EASY TO MOVE. IT IS ALSO POWERFUL ENOUGH TO RUN THE NECESSARY APPLIANCES DURING A POWER OUTAGE.

I am a first time generator owner/user. The manual has references to things that do not have precise correspondence to the tables. Example, Page 20 refers to "relief valve" without referencing a table or figure number. There is a figure that describes something as a "valve". Are the the same thing? I don't know, because I am a first time generator owner/user. That produced uncertainty in my setting up and using the product. The manual should have said on page 16 approximately how much volume of oil to initially service the unit (iGen2550DFc) with. It turns out that it needed the whole container supplied with the generator, but it should would have been nice if I had known that, because the manual said on page 16 to stop frequently (and presumably check), and it says, in bold, "DO NOT overfill", which was very cumbersome since the supplied funnel needs to be screwed into the oil dipstick hole. The manual's specific instructions on page 20 for starting the engine were ambiguous. It said that if it didn't start, one should repeat steps, but it didn't say which steps to repeat.

My husband's dad has this and after we have been borrowing it, we had to get one! My husband utilizes this on job sites, our converted cargo trailer, emergency purposes and vacation. Runs pretty quiet and pretty light. Appreciate that it was factory tested before receiving it. Cost is more than fair with all its capabilities and qualities.

Just opened the box. My husband did all the recommended actions to operate the generator ( adding oil, adding gas, checking spark plug). This little machine started right away WITHOUT using the choke. We let it run for a good while without any issues. The eco mode makes it a bit quieter. It hasn't been used for the main reason i bought it: run a well water pump ( 1.5HP) in case of power outage. It is in another location. so i will update this review. But so far i like it: easy to start, not too heavy for me to carry. The pictures in the manual are very well done and easy to understand. Instructions easy to follow.

It started in the gasoline mode on the first pull, choke out, the first time out of the box. In the propane mode it took a few pulls and choke adjustments. It runs smoothly while powering, at least, my newer fridge, TV and a light with no problem. That's the minimum needed in a northern California power outage. It's sleek looking, has soft rubber feet, a large comfortable handle, easy dashboard and although I put in on a cart, it's lightweight. Compared with the standard, it really is quiet, humming right along. Very happy.

We use this unit for our 5th wheel and so far it has met expectations. I tested it with my wife's blow dryer and it handled it fine. Hopefully it performs just as well when it is 90 plus degrees and I have to use the air conditioner. The blow dryer is 1800 watts so I don't forsee a problem. This unit was half the price of a Honda and has a higher output rating.

Compared to other similar generators such as the Honda or Yamaha you get a great price for the same performance. Combined two iGen2500 along with parallel cords to get double the performance. Can't beat the price! Easy to set up and run both generators. Extremely quiet.

I have never used a generator before. I wanted the family to be prepared for any power outages during hurricane season or the typical winter ice storm in NC. The iGen 2500 was super easy to set up, came with its own oil and funnel, I just needed to add gas. It started right up without any issues. I bought the iGen 2500 because I wanted to be able to easily - at a glance - know how much fuel I had remaining. The digital display of time remaining, fuel remaining, and power usage are AWESOME. Why doesn't every generator come with that feature - thanks Westinghouse!
