I purchased this generator one month ago as a light duty , light weight emergency home backup power source. I previously purchased a Westinghouse i Gen 5000DF which appeared to be a good quality unit and I wanted the lighter unit which could be paired easily with the larger unit. It was shipped well protected with complete instructions Thus far , my primary complaint is with the included propane regulator/hose . I attempted multiple times to start the generator and even switched propane tanks several times without success. However, when I used the regulator which was provided with my larger i Gen5000DF unit, I was able to start the iGen2550DF several times even while using the same propane cylinders. I have read similar complaints from others regarding the regulator on this model. Multiple pulls are needed to start this unit.
I bought this a month ago and so happy that I did! Love the dual fuel option! I took it camping and used propane LP gas and it powered the camper including a small heater or the AC and ran all night long with no problems!
When you register this item it makes you provide a review to get a bonus item (cover). So this is what I can say after taking them out of the box today. They came in good shape, we did the pre test and they seem to work well. I will come back and up date the review after we use them on our first camping trip.
I just got this generator and so far I have been impressed. The instructions were easy to follow, so It was easy to set up and get it operational. The included funnel worked great for add the initial oil. It started just fine on the first pull.
We needed a quality ultralight inverter generator For a mission trip upland in west Africa. The iGen1500c is perfect for our needs. 1000w and lightweight, built in usb and ac120v outlets all packaged in a superbly designed, sound buffering, case with a carrier handle. We love it
