3rd Westinghouse Generator!!

I have had 2 Westinghouse inverter generator for a couple years. They were iGEN2200 that I bought for my travel trailer. I had issues finding a parallel cable for them and decided I wanted a single unit instead. No doubt I wanted anther Westinghouse. These generators are quieter and higher output than Champion and much cheaper than Honda or Yamaha. Love, love, love these generators. I'm even keeping one of my smaller units for kids sporting events and things like that. I just can't imagine giving it up.

Does what it says

Ran for a few hours so far. Was able to maintain the temperature in smaller deep freezer, a 20cu ft fridge/freezer, and a dehumidifier (This was running on natural gas, did even better on propane, haven't used with gasoline). Was bought to keep our vaccines viable in an emergency. Haven't had to use it in that capacity.

Does exactly what it claims

Bought this last year for home back up, camping with our travel trailer, and dirt bike riding trips. It powers our rv 15,000 btu ac easily, it is very fuel efficient just like it claims, and it is so quiet you can easily talk standing beside it. This is a do it all generator and I'm so happy with it. I got the DF version and hooking it up to run on propane is easy. It comes with the tools to hook up to propane. I would buy again if I had to.

Small, quiet, easy to use

Just bought this so have no long term usage history. I bought it because of how highly rated Westinghouse generators are on some of the more reliable rating sites. It is small, relatively light, and quiet when running. I have have had a terrible time maintaining gas powered open-frame generators since I only use them as back-ups to the house power. I bought this specifically because of the option of using propane, which I intend as the ONLY fuel I will use in it. I also like the option of running two generators in parallel which (with a second generator) offers me the capability of a "whole house" system, since I have a small house. My only carp is the operators manual does not cover everything you need to know and some items are contradictory. That is understandable in that I am sure Westinghouse is constantly improving their products and consumers cannot afford for them to constantly reprint the manuals. Specifically, in stopping, the manual says to "turn the battery switch to the off position" whilst the Quick Start Guide says to "Put the engine run/stop switch in the RUN position and pull choke". (Yes I read all the little pieces of paper that came with the generator). Obviously the Quick Start Guide is talking about an open frame generator since there is no readily accessible choke on my model. One piece of paper says the the parallel cable are included, another says they are not. (They are not) A battery charger is included with NO instructions on when, where, or how to use it, and the manual states that the battery charges whenever the generator is running. I do have concerns with the long-term durability since it is covered in plastic and two of the doors popped off while I was unpacking it, but everything went back together properly. All in all, so far, I am very pleased with the generator. The next power outage will be the true test. Hurricane season is coming.

Happy in a townhouse

I live in a townhouse and didn't want to alienate my neighbors with the noise of a traditional generator at night. This is plenty to run our fridge, a fan, modem and coffee maker/ toaster oven when needed during the increasingly common power outages in HTX.

Love the remote control

The remote control allows us to shut off the generator from inside our camper, which is a great feature. The generator starts quickly on gasoline, but I haven't been able to get it to cross over to propane yet. Not sure if the issue is the regulator, or operator error since this model is new to me. I'll figure it out and update the review in a couple weeks.

Mixed feelings

I bought this about a month ago. I don't camp at sea level so to my surprise the unit shut down 3 times when I needed it to run my RV AC. Do I have to change the carb jets every time I go up in elevation. Thats insane. I want aware you sold a fuel injected one. Send me one fuel injected and I'll send this one back

Quiet & ease of ise

I bought a few days ago...broke it in yesterday...bought for our RV...started great, ran great, much quieter than my other generator, compact efficient & can parallel with other Westinghouse generators to increase output...panel tells you at a glance, what fuel level, demand & run time are...can switch over to propane before you run out of fuel without shutting of the generator...basically double your run time...

No mess, love that it runs on propane !

It took a long time to get the generator because it was on back order. It was worth the wait ! I installed the oil and connected it to a 20# propane cylinder and it started right up. Ran a few different items on it for about an hour, seems to work great

Very Good Generator

Runs well on propane. Operator Manual is way out of date; different battery, different oil change spout, different tool kit, different picture of front control panel, and many many other errors. Seems that generator is updated but comes with old old manual. I will contact Westinghouse and request reliable manual.
