Westinghouse 2550 Peak Watt Super Quiet & Lightweight Portable Inverter Generator, RV Ready 30A Outlet, Gas Powered, Parallel Capable, Long Run Time,Blue

Great little unit, very quiet, easy to start, a variety of information on the front display, fairly light to carry even with one hand. Good, clear manual included. the Economy switch makes it even quieter. And about a quarter the cost of the little red ones that claim to be super quiet.

UPDATE (07/15/2023) First one worked so well I bought another and the kit to connect them together to run the RV!For years I have considered buying a compact generator for camping and other outdoor events where I need to have power but have no access to electricity. For instance when tailgating or at a picnic. I just never felt it was a need but was more of a want. A prolonged power outage at a campground that prevented me from working remotely was all I needed to finally convince me to do it. After doing a little research I settled on the Westinghouse 2200.As soon as the generator arrived I unboxed it, read the included instruction manual and setup the generator as directed. Westinghouse included the tools, funnel, and oil needed to open the side access panel and fill the generator with oil. Once filled with oil, I added the gasoline and took it outside to start it up. The generator started on the very first pull. I ran the generator for 5 hours total varying the load using my electric impact drill (which draws a peak of 900A) to generate the recommended maximum amperage load (which is no more than 50% of the max). I didn't run the drill non-stop but ran it for 2-3 minutes every 15-20 minutes. The generator increased its output each time the load surged and had no problem at all.The generator is also very quiet. I have a 8000 watt generator for my home and it is so loud you can't carry on a conversation next to it without shouting. The Westinghouse generator was quiet enough that my wife and I carried on a conversation when she was standing 20 feet away and I was right next to the generator. I think my impact drill was actually louder than the generator.As far as portability is concerned, the generator weighs around 50lbs with fuel. It was easy for me to pick up and carry around using the handle. Lifting it to the tailgate of a larger truck would require two hands for most people but would still be easy.I am taking the generator on a camping trip next week and will update my review then with more real world experience.UPDATE: Love this generator. I get real world 10 hours of power for every tank of gas. During recent storms power was out for days. Used for 11 days running refrigerator, lights, fan, TV, and other household small appliances (microwave, coffee maker, airfryer/toaster oven) as needed by unplugging items to maintain proper draw. Ran with zero issues. Starts on first two pulls most times. Great for camping too.

I recently purchased the Westinghouse iGen2800, and it has exceeded my expectations. This generator is an affordable solution for anyone needing reliable backup power. It easily handles my household essentials, including the fridge, computers, TV, router, and modem, without a hitch.One of the standout features is its portability. The lightweight design and built-in handle make it incredibly easy to move around, whether indoors or outdoors. Maintenance has also been a breeze, with user-friendly instructions and minimal upkeep required.What I appreciate most is its quiet operation. Unlike some generators that can be distractingly loud, the iGen2800 runs smoothly and quietly, ensuring it doesn’t disrupt our daily routine. Overall, it’s a great investment for peace of mind during power outages. Highly recommend!

I have a dog treat business that I run out of a cute little trailer. The trailer itself does have a good size generator that I run off propane. It is encased on the front near the tongue. It It very noisy! So much so that it disrupts my ability to speak to customers. My trailer only needs enough power to run some lights and phone chargers, so no much power is needed.When Amazon had their prime day, I found this on sale. The reviews were positive on the ease and quietness, so I ordered it.While it's "only" 50 lbs or so, it's a bit heavy for this aging girl, but still manageable. Setup was very straightforward. After filling with the oil (provided) and fuel, it started on the 2nd pull (guessing it just needed to cycle first).Super quiet, with a rubbery bottom so it doesn't slide around in my trailer. I could place it right behing the trailer and barely notice it (the walls of the trailer are just aluminum with no insulation), or 15 feet behind and not hear anything.It ran without a hiccup. I ran it in economy mode since my wattage draw is minimal. This little unit is proving to be much better for my needs.I highly recommend it.UPDATE. I ran this last weekend, around 9.30 am, with the temps being in the low 20s. Sadly, it kept dieing on me. I was using it to light my parade float and blow up decorations. So very disappointed in it. I'm not sure if it was due to the low temps, or if it's a lemon. But it really ruined my float.
