I bought a factory refurbished unit, so my expectations were tempered. The pull start pulls rather easily. However, on gasoline it takes me a number of tries to get it to start. It seems even more difficult to cold start on propane. But once it's started, on either fuel, it runs nicely and fairly quiet too in Eco mode under light load. The led panel lights are a nice touch.
Filled it with oil and connected the propane and it was easy to start. I ran it for a few hours to check it out. It seems to be quiet with about ¼ load. I will be breaking it in on a trip in the next few weeks.
Great product very well engineered every thing is very easy to get at . Very nice to have a oil funnel that works . This unit starts and runs very well , and nice and quiet . Perfict for my needs in the event the power should go out & for our camping needs its not heavy & very portable . Perfect little unit .
This iGen 2550 is perfect for my truck camper or trailer. It has the 30 amp outlet, although it's limited to 15.8 amps @120v continuous. Peak is a tad over 21 amps, (ac starting etc). This will work great for my needs.
The unit is lighter than I expected, 42lbs I think, solid construction and quality components, They provide more than you will need, oil, funnel, spark plug changer.
I am very happy with this generator, it's perfect for a travel trailer or any RV.
This will be my 3rd Westinghouse Inverter generator. They live up to the promise of small, light, and long lasting. I have a larger 4500 watt, and just upgrade to this dual fuel unit from a 2000 Watt gasoline only (and gave that one to my oldest son).
