Powers my RV for approximately 9 hours

I bought this generator to power my Springfield 1800 BH with a 5k btu ac side mounted unit. It powers the entire camper for 9 hours while the a/c is running and allows me to sleep through the night without having to refuel. I can really only hear the generator running as the A/C cycles off while laying in the camper. I will probably setup a system to direct the sound away from the camper but it is fairly quiet.

Good generator for class B use

Bought generator to run Winnebago Roam Class B RV - AC and electrical load runs about 1400 demand - generator has been tested twice for over 5 hours with load running 1400 to 1900. Both times generator went to overload within 10 min so not sure yet why but kept running and after reset button pressed, operated without issue for remaining time. Downside is that the propane and gas does not switch automatically if one runs out. I have the WEN 4500 dual fuel inverter generator and it switches automatically from one to the other in case you run out of one in the middle of the night. The big plus is that this generator weighs less than 50 lbs and used less than a gallon of gas running overnight. Also this generator has nice bright lights on the panel. So, 4 stars for me. Put in the auto switch between fuels and it would be a solid 5 stars. Would recommend given my limited one week of experience.

Quiet and started first pull out of the box!

Excellent generator. The front display panel is great and a big improvement over the Honda my father has. I have used it a few times now just for testing, running the window AC I have in my garage and it handles that perfectly. The only gripes I have, and the reason I gave it 4 stars is that you have to open the side panel fairly often (to empty the fuel and check the oil level if you only use it occasionally) and there is no good way to grab it to pull it off. A small finger pull or handle molded into it would make this generator perfect.

Great features for the price!

Really love the large oil dipstick (easy to find when no power in the dark) and the oil funnel included that screws in for less mess! Also love the easy access panels to get to all the insides. The display is the reason I bought this! So easy to read. My super handyman dad bought one of these years ago and I loved it so I had to buy one myself. The small improvements to my newer model are so impactful and thoughtful.

Great Generator

I compared several similar models and brands before selecting the Westinghouse. Most models in this price range did not have the 30 amp outlet and did not have the digital display panel that this one has. I especially like the scheduled maintenance codes and the gauge for power output. I consider this model very quiet and it works perfectly for my intended application. I have larger generators to power my home in an outage and primarily use this one on my boat dock to run my boat lift and any electrical needs on my shoreline. It is lightweight and very portable and fits nicely in a small storage bin that I have on my dock. I am in an area where grid power is not really an option near my dock, so this generator provides all the power I need in a compact design. Very dependable and great product.

I would recommend this generator.

Great product easy to use generator. Incredible fuel efficiency a full tank can give you up to 15 hours at 50% load. I am really impressed with it. After many comparisons with other inverters on this power range I select this generator and I am extremely satisfied.

GREAT SMALL GENERATOR

Just got this when we had a storm related power outage. My older generator had sat too long and had bad gas. The iGen2550 was able to power 2 refrigerators and a chest freezer. The only caveat is that you should plug in one cooling device at a time. If they all kick in at once, it can overload the generator and trigger the overload circuit breaker.

Inverter Generator

This model was suited for my application as a backup for specific appliances with electronics inside: it was light enough to carry easily, used propane, had variable speeds so it is likely to run overnight without needing refueling, and it was made by (for?) a reputable brand. It was expensive compared to some less familiar brands, but in an emergency I do not want to risk using unreliable equipment: portable generators are dangerous enough when they work properly!

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 Value Generator

I purchased this generator for running a small air conditioning on a boat and as a backup generator to power essentials in my house in the event of an extended power outage. The igen2500 easily fits the bill. Its light, has plenty of power and is easy to start.
