Westinghouse 2550 Peak Watt Super Quiet & Lightweight Portable Inverter Generator, RV Ready 30A Outlet, Gas Powered, CO Sensor, Parallel Capable, Long Run Time,Blue

Westinghouse is a brand I trust with a long history of producing durable equipment. The iGen 2550c is among the smaller size, lower cost, and more convenient portability for this kind of equipment. Power capabilities will be more than adequate for my off-grid power tool needs, and maybe power outage service at home. Quality is impressive. Easy starting and quiet operation. User manual is very well written with good illustrations, comprehensive parts list and exploded views. I would recommend reading the manual a couple times including at first start-up and after some use to understand settings, modes, and the data panel.

This is my favorite lil generator. we also have the next two larger models in same brand / series and they are all awesome. whisper quiet! Only negative: takes a few hard pulls to get started and is hesitant to restart if you shut it off then go to restart right away but it always restarts. Takes several aggressive rips on the pullcord. Maybe an electric start model next go around.

They Just Keep Getting Better and Better! I’ve owned quite a few generators, large and small, over the years. I bought my first Westinghouse inverter generator, a model WH2000iXLT, back in 2015. It has served me well over the last ten years, especially during a 5-day power outage in the aftermath of hurricane Irma in 2017. Running 24/7, it powered my big side-by-side refrigerator, bedroom air conditioner, a variety of lights, fans, phone chargers, and even a flatscreen TV. Let me say that in blazing-HOT and steam-bath HUMID South Florida where I live, having refrigeration and at least one air-conditioned room is a lifesaver during an extended power outage. That ten year old Westinghouse still runs today as well as it did when it was new. (I liked it so much that I purchased a second one as a backup, or for when I need additional power.) I purchased the iGen2550DFc because I no longer want to deal with the hassles of using gasoline. I wanted to be done with filling plastic jugs, pouring and wiping up liquid gasoline, having to drain the gas tank when finished using the generator, and smelling like a refinery when I was done. Propane can be stored indefinitely, burns clean with hardly any exhaust smell, and doesn’t require draining the carburetor for storage. The running time between re-fueling pit stops is much longer with propane, and can be extended further by using a 30 pound or larger tank, or even a dual-tank setup. Perhaps the best part is: As there’s no gasoline odor, the generator can be stored indoors, under climate controlled conditions, to extend its life. Besides being dual-fuel capable, the iGen2550DFc offers numerous improvements and refinements over the older model. My new generator is RV ready. It has a built-in carbon monoxide detector too. While the engine size is the same, the iGen2550DFc has a higher peak rating of 2550 Watts vs. 2200 Watts for the older generator, in addition to offering 1900 running Watts vs. 1800 Watts for the WH2000iXLT. The iGen2550DFc also offers easier service access with its large, tool-less access panels on both sides. The recoil starter’s handle has been re-positioned to make it easier to use. (Due to their highly efficient inverters and excellent design, only a very small displacement engine is required. Thus these generators are very easy to start.) Even the sound-deadening feet on the iGen2550DFc have been enhanced. In fact, everywhere I looked I saw subtle engineering improvements intended to make an already great product even better and more refined. The iGen2550DFc was obviously designed by engineers who actually test and use the product in the real world. (How many times have we bought a poorly designed product and thought “Whoever designed this should be condemned to actually use it!”) Impressively, the iGen255DFc is supplied with a 3-Stage propane regulator for the most precise and efficient gas delivery possible. Everything needed to set up and run the generator is provided, including the motor oil, funnel and needed tools. The instruction manual is clearly written, printed on full sized glossy paper, and easy to read, as is the quick start guide. (Be sure to read both thoroughly, paying particular attention to engine starting procedures!) As a bonus, 12 gauge parallel connecting wires are supplied. In the past they had to be purchased separately at additional cost. In the ten years since my initial purchase of a Westinghouse inverter generator, my experience with them has grown along with my confidence in the product line. In addition to my own purchases, I also set one up for an elderly neighbor who purchased it on my recommendation, and it kept her comfortable through hurricane Irma’s 5 day outage. Like mine, hers worked flawlessly, and she loved how incredibly quiet it was. Based upon these experiences, I can wholeheartedly recommend the iGen2550DFc. In terms of quality, value for money and performance, there’s no worthy competition in my view.

Have not been able to use yet, but starts up nicely, quiet, easy assembly, not too heavy.

Bought this for RV boondocking. Unpacked and got it up in running in no time. However, anyone buying should be aware of a few snafus we ran into so they can avoid problems. 1- They provide a small bottle of 4 stroke engine oil, but it's not enough to reach the minimum level. We had to add about a 2 oz more of our own to get a reading on the dip stick. The dip stick reading itself is a little jinky - the fill port is horizontal so you're not really dipping into the depth of the reservoir. A fill neck is provided to assist with filling, but you can't tell when you've overfilled until you unscrew it. You then have oil dripping down the side of the unit. They tell you to not thread the dip stick in to read it, but you can orient the stick and impact the reading. 2- There's a quick start guide, the owners manual AND an addendum, all of which don't say the exact same thing. Be sure to read it all before firing up the first time. They've changed the start up procedures so follow the addendum. Luckily this didn't negatively impact us, but I'd hate for someone to struggle or worse. 3 - the pressure release value for the propane is unguarded. While this didn't cause problems for me, I know I'll be positioning the value and propane tank so this cannot get accidentally bumped or pressed open. Venting propane unknowingly don't sound like a good idea! 4 - the service panel on the side is held on by spring clips, along with a locking knob. I'm mildly concerned about the durability of the spring clips with repeated removal to check oil levels. Seems a more robust attachment strategy should have been used for something they tell you to check before each use. Even with these minor issues, this is still a great unit. It's light enough to be moved around and quiet enough that you can communicate with someone while standing near it. Granted, it's not whisper quiet, but I've heard louder generators before. Looking forward to many adventures off grid with it!

Starts like a dream, only put enough fuel in to run tools my extension cords could not reach . The noise is not toooo loud . This unit will be handy to have for power around our ranch ,very portable

I got this to use with propane and not have to deal with gas. Easy to set up and quiet. Started right up with no issues
