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.

I bought the Westinghouse iGen2550C for backup power at home and while traveling, and it has exceeded my expectations. It's very quiet, easy to start, and provides clean power for charging laptops, small refrigerators, or tools. The ECO mode helps save fuel, and its compact size makes it easy to transport. I just recommend checking the oil level before first use and not overloading it. Excellent generator for the price and quality. Highly recommended!

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.

I like the dual fuel option. While gasoline provides a slightly higher output, not having to drain fuel for storage make propane my choice any time I don't need the extra output gas provides. Starts easy, runs quite (Maybe 2 or 3 decibels louder than a Honda), dual fuel option, and a 30 amp plug so no adapter is required to power a travel trailer. Just be aware to use with travel trailers a unifying ground plug is required or the trailer may not power up when plugged into the generator.

Very easy to set up. Started up the first time. It is doing the job when the power goes out!

I just got my generator last night and am in the process of breaking it in. So I won't give 5 stars until I have used it for a month or so. I already had a Champion 2500 W gas generator, but I started having some problems with it this summer (bought it last summer). I have a hard time starting it, and I didn't like using gasoline. So I researched and then found this Westinghouse Dual Fuel generator that weighs about the same 50 lbs ish. I want to be able to use propane and only propane. It is supposed to be quieter and and propane is cleaner than gas. My goal is to never use gasoline in this Westinghouse, but it nice I have the option. First impression: Pretty good. It started up on the 2nd pull. As I said I am in the breaking in process for this generator. I wasn't able to do that properly with my Champion last summer, and I needed to get that right this time. I was a bit disappointed that the only instructions for the break in period simply said to not exceed 50% of the load capacity for the first 5 hours. Ok - am I supposed to vary that load at all? I am doing that because other research said it would be a good idea. Am I supposed run all appliances at 50% load for a straight 5 hours? Or can that load only be 10% or 20%? Is that good or bad? So Westinghouse, please add some more details to the very small section on how to break in the generator. Now I can't sit there and babysit the generator for 5 hours. But I have been checking it every 20 to 30 minutes. A couple of times now it has stopped running and I am not sure why. The first time I believe it was overload. I actually saw that. I had added in a USB power bank, hoping to charge that with the generator. It didn't like it. The other 2 times, I was not out there, but no way it would have been overloaded. So does it just stop after an hour or so?? I don't know. The 2 main things I am powering right now I don't think draw a whole lot. One is an electric 12/120v cooler. The other is a small USB powered fan, designed to be able to plug into a PC USB port. Then when I am out there, I will plug in a vacuum cleaner and run that for a bit. I also plugged in a variable speed drill and ran that at different speeds to provide different loads. But again, I am not sure what percentage of the full load this is. One thing I did like about my Champion, that this Westinghouse doesn't have, is a display telling me how many hours it has on the generator. This made it easier to track usage. My main use for this generator is to recharge my RV Lithium batteries when solar is not enough to keep them up. So I won't really be able to tell how well this does, until I use it on my next trip.
