I bought this a week ago and did a lot of research beforehand with my dad and brother. It’s super fuel efficient and when I tested it, it started on 1st pull which impressed my dad. He was even impressed when I showed him it can run up to 12 hours on only the 1 gallon size tank. It wasn’t extremely loud and only sounded like a weed wacker was running.
We really like this generator. Very easy to start. 1 pull and it starts. Its very quiet too. We take it camping with us. No maintenance. It sits in our shed all winter, and it starts right up in Spring.
Just unpacked the 2550dfc and see that there is no led display as was indicated it would have. If this item works as advertised in all other respects then I might add stars, but was expecting a better start than this. Not a deal breaker, but disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I recently bought the Westinghouse iGen2550DFc because I moved to coastal South Carolina and wanted a reliable dual fuel generator. This unit fit my needs for wattage and best of all, its light to carry around as a portable generator.
Hope I don't need to use it but I'm glad I found something portable and reasonable.
Just purchased this, filled the oil, started and ran for 10 minutes. It's quiet, but I still measured 92 db (using Apple Watch) under no load. Difficult location to fill the oil, funnel is absolutely required. I haven't tried to run it under load yet, or with propane as the fuel source, so we'll see.
