IGen2550DFc

This unit will be a great addition to my travel trailers ability to be self sufficient. Having the 30 amp receptacle will make it for easy connection along with the dual fuel feature, and light weight, I will be able to operate the iGen 2550 with my onboard propane tanks. Can't wait for camping season to start my charging arsenal.

Westinghouse Inverter Generator

I purchased primarily to power my 27' camper during remote camping trips but also plan to use it for tailgating and emergency power needs when necessary. The set-up was extremely easy with pouring in the pre-measured oil using the provided screw in funnel, and filling with gas. The funnel threads into the hole where the dipstick is and it kept everything clean and spill free. Started on the second pull after getting gas through the carburetor and it is quieter than I expected. I know I probably should have purchased a larger model but I don't plan on pushing its limits. The 30 amp RV outlet will also allow me to plug in without the use of an adapter. Very happy with the purchase.

Easy to start and not as noisy as older one

I purchased this after a recent storm caused an extended power outage. We borrowed a gas generator that was very noisy but got us through the outage. This generator was much quieter and lighter than the previous generator. It was easy to start and the instructions were very clear for using either gasoline or propane. I powered several devices, including fans and a leaf blower and it worked just fine. I hope we don't have another extended power outage but if we do, we're now prepared.

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.

Returning satisfied customer

This is our second Westinghouse Generator. When we purchased a travel trailer, we knew our first purchase needed to be a small generator. Westinghouse generator served us well at home, why not on the road? Hoping to get many on road miles using our new purchase!

Perfect Generator

I bought this to run power tools on jobsites and it runs everything I need it to. It starts on the first pull every time and is amazingly quite. I have used it for a 12" miter saw, and a 10" table saw so I know it will be there when I need it for smaller tools as well. Quite is a total understatement!! I have never used another brand and can't figure out any reason to.

Very quiet

Started this after I installed the High Altitude kit. I'm going to be using this well above 7,000' in elevation and am afraid to try it without the kit. It's very involved and requires a lot of disassembly to install. It shouldn't be this difficult to do.

In Time of Desperate Need, Generator Came Through

Midwest spring snowstorm power outage caused sump pump failure - flooded basement. Frantically driving from store to store before all were closed for the night, found this Westinghouse available 45 minutes away. Bought online one of the two available and hustled down the highway. Have never used a generator, but instructions were easy to understand and machine is easy to operate. Feared overfilling the oil, knowing how that can damage engines, so filled very slowly. The bottle of oil included must be the correct amount for initial filling - if this is correct, I would recommend stating that in the written instructions. This generator got us back on track by getting the sump pump going - we only had that one load of the sump pump, but this unit has 2 USB ports (along with the 2 20A receptacles and one 30A receptacle) if we had needed to charge phones. Glad we have this in our home, wish we had it earlier and definitely recommend this as a wedding gift. Every home should have one!

Easy start, quiet

Received iGen2550DFc yesterday. Well packaged and everything in good order. Started on propane and gasoline without difficulty. Runs smoothly under load. But, this is a replacement unit, the first I purchased was an iGen2550c that would not start. Calling the help number twice did not get me any help. I was advised that a response would take 24 to 48 hours, so back to the seller it went. If the first unit had worked i would have given 5 stars. Only feature I would like to see is a gasoline shut off valve so i can run the carburetor dry before moving or storing. An hour meter would be handy to know when maintenance is due.

Light, quiet, and powerful!

Use to recharge battery for trailer, phone, cameras, computer, keeps truck batteries fully charged as it gets colder while up hunting. Gives me back up power for heat, lights, & entertainment for the kids. And when the propane runs out, don't have to run to town for a refill.
