I purchased this in Sept. 2023 and charged it with no problem to get it ready for when I would need it, although I didn't plug anything in at that time. The flashlight worked just fine so I figured it would be good to go and I boxed it back up. Five months later I tried charging it and nothing. Even the flashlight would not turn on. I've since tried continuously to charge, but no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping it's a simple user error because obviously I like it, so I bought it... Westinghouse 600-Rated/1200-Peak Watt Camping/RV Power Station 600-Watt Portable Power Station

I have two of these setting on the floor in front of me as I write this review. Both are less than 2 months old one was defective front the get go and the one only just stopped charging last night. Because of the ordering process with in my employer they can't be returned and management as denied any reorders because of so many defensive units.

Works great on output. But charging is taking a very long time. Specifications says charging 7 to 9 hours. Charging from wallplug took me 20 hours when no power bar are showing. When 4 power bars are showing it is still not fully charged after 5 hours. Will return for replacement. Maybe the 2nd unit will charge as specified.

I bought this for camping and for possible utility outages to keep the refrigerator working at night and during the day charge the iGen1000s while using appliances with the i2500. It tried it out and worked much better than expected. I am going to get the solar panels next.

This is not my generator. I have a WGen5300cv. Bought on June 6, 2004. Woman said warranty was 30 days, my book says 1 yr parts and labor. I live in Florida bought to cover me in storms. Filled with gas with and additive filled with provided oil. It starts and runs for about a minute. Contacted service they are sending an oil switch. I am 80 years old and not able to work on this generator. Please help

I was thrilled when I bought this in part bc th various charging options as well as variety of port/plug-in options! Major need was for my CPAP machine - thinking I could go camping with this, or in the event of a black-out.... but no! after 3 hours, it was drained of juice. won't even allow charging a small 1500W 120V space heater which would've been reason #2 for having it, and tested it with a 60W litebulb and even then, stayed lit less than 3 hours..

We get outages here in Ohio for only 1-3 hours, but once had one overnight. I normally use a gas generator during these times for my sump pump, as rain storms normally cause the power outages and the sump wells continue to rise, causing a flooding risk. I bought this to primarily backup my sump pump during outages for a more convenient option, as my gas generator has to be in the open air, such as outside on my porch or in the garage with the garage door open. This is a very convenient option since it can be used indoors with no hazards. I tested it on my sump and freezer, and it powered both with no problem. Since this power supply has around 1100 watt/hrs, it can power my sump constantly for a little over an hour. But intermittently for many more. Same for my freezer and fridge. So I am very happy with this, and even more happier since I got it for $400 instead of the normal $999 price at Sams.

Not listed but brand-new Model WGen5300cv Runs for a minute and shuts down. Unit is too heavy to move and Westinghouse will not cover pickup and delivery cost. I am 80 years old on a walker and cannot get down to work on this generator. Lost power in Florida for 4 days with a generator in my garage that won't run. Two more storms projected to hit in a week and Westinghouse will not help. Be aware of this if you are old and have to make a purchase to try and help yourself. Be sure you will not get and help from Westinghouse. I am ashamed I worked for Westinghouse for 14 years.

I was given this for Father's day, I've never over charged. I only take it with me just case I need a charge on my phone. I've never had it go lower than half a charge. Just this week I was charging it for about 20min and I noticed a burnt plastic smell. I felt under the handle and it was extremely hot right above the display. The plastic has now warped and it no longer accepts a charge. I was looking forward to getting some good use out of it and nope. It gave up even though I have babied it.

In August 2023 I purchased an iGen300s portable power station that I loved so much that I decided to purchase another one in October 2023. Unfortunately the second one does not hold power after charging and is useless. I have just opened a case number and am hoping this one will be replaced with a working one as the one purchased in August is a 5 star product.
