Perfect for our need

We were looking for an inverter generator that we can use for our trailer. Most of the products available are too heavy to lift in an out of our truck to take with us on trips. We purchased two iGen2550c Westinghouse due to get the capacity we needed to run AC and other load in our trailer. Each one is less than 50 lbs. so I can move them. Noise level is pretty quiet for a generator. Start-up was super easy. Perfect for our need!
Unfortunately this item may have come defective from the factory. I tried it and it turned on for about 5 seconds then it began to surge and then the overload button came on and it did not turn on again.

Generator is very quiet. It does a great job running my 30amp camper with air conditioning. I bought the duel fuel so I don't have to keep gasoline fumes around the camper. Very light at 42 lbs. and easy to carry. very satisfied with this purchase!!!
I bought this a month ago for keeping my basement from flooding in the event my sump pump looses power from a outage. I finally had a nice clear day outside and unpacked the inverter. I then followed the easy instructions for first time set up with adding oil and checking things over. I then hooked the unit up to a full propane tank and within 3 pulls it fired up and it ran very well. I was impressed at how quiet it is while running. I followed the break in period instructions and then plugged in a space heater to see how it works. The heater came on and the unit didn't miss a beat. True test will be the next power outage when I need to run my sump pump, refrigerator, and freezer; which this unit is supposed to make enough wattage that I should be able to run all 3 at the same time with no issue. Quick tip, when selecting a generator buy one of the kilowatt gauges that measures starting and running watts of your appliances or items you want to run with the generator. Get a average of each appliance and add them up and then make your generator selection. That is what I did and it worked out well and made my selection easier.
