IGEN2550

Purchased to use with our travel trailer when camping off the grid. We have solar but wanted auxiliary power just in case. Coming from a traditional open frame generator for all the obvious reasons. Size and price were factors taken into account. Plenty of power for our needs, fuel efficient, ease of handling, and quiet!

Problems Started With First Use

I bought this about a month ago and experienced problems the first time it was used. I changed the oil as directed after break in period and under a small load, it burned through the oil within 8 hours. Clips holding the rear panel were broken as well. I'm trying to contact customer service at this point.

Great Small in Size but Huge in Output Generator

We needed a single easy to carry generator that could start our A/C on our RV. This guy can do it. At 2500 watts and 18.3 amps, you can get that A/C started in combination with an Easy Start on your A/C. It starts easy, maintenance is a breeze, even has two USB ports. We love the display which gives us all the information we need to ensure we are operating smoothly.

I like the control panel features

My one problem is that the engine control switch is backwards. I have to turn the switch to "off" to start it up and turn the switch to "choke" to shut it down. It runs quietly which is nice. Looking forward to powering up some tools out in the country.

Just what I needed

I bought this as it seems any time the wind blows, our power goes out. As I'm now considered middle-aged, I've got the sleep equipment to prove it. Can't sleep without my CPAP. I don't want to worry about a battery backup. Now I can run my machine and a fan...I can hook up the refrigerator if needed, and can get through the night...or nights.

Light and good

I bought this product in 2024 and have not used it until a couple of months ago when we had a power outage. The generator was a little difficult to start up. I found that I had to manipulate the choke and pull several times to finally get it started. After starting it did the job.

Good Quiet backup generator

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

SO FAR SO GOOD

Wouldn't start out of the box until I read a review that said if you follow the Westinghouse direction of tightening the gas cap until it "clicks" the generator will be air starved. Sure enough. it started right up. The unit is also noisier than I expected-difficult to hold a conversation 25 feet away when at 75% power. BUT the unit seems well built, can be carried and boosted into an RV storage compartment using both hands and the display panel is great. I also think this is the perfect size to run the 15,000 BTU A/C and still have some battery charging ability left over. I hope to have a long, trouble-free relationship with it.

Great for camping

I bought this a little over a month ago and used it for a 3 day weekend camping trip. It worked so well. Gas lasted a long time and it powered everything we needed in our RV. It isn't the quietest generator available, but it definitely is very low decibals and wasn't too loud. We just used our jackery box for the night time.

Great Generator!

I bought this generator in August for use with my trailer. I'm very impressed by it. First of all, it is much lighter than the typical generator. It is much easier to carry around and move. Second, it is very quiet. The generator in on ECOmode it is so quiet compared to other generators. I love this feature because who wants to listen to a bunch of noise while camping. Lastly, this generator is no each to operate! The directions for setup are well written and easy to follow. Once the initial setup is completed, set the choke, pull the start handle on your on your way. It's a breeze. Maintenance seems just as easy. So far I'm happy with the purchase!
