Repeated and unfortunate issues

I am now on my fourth iGen600s and it too has issues. My original iGen600s worked great for about year and I put it through about 10 full cycles. Then I go to use for the 11th time and its dead. I charge it up, it holds a charge for a couple days and then dead again. It was replaced under warranty with a refurbished iGen600s that was DOA and wouldn't take a charge. That was then replaced with a new unit which worked for about 2-3 months and then had the same issues as my original. It was replaced again with what I believe to be a new unit, but this unit has issues too and will only charge to about 80%, at which point the input wattage drops to zero, yet it still shows charging. I'm holding out hope, and currently again in the process of getting this replaced under warranty.

IGen200's

The Westinghouse iGen200s Portable Power Station is an excellent choice for anyone needing a lightweight and reliable power source for outdoor adventures or emergencies. Weighing just over 4 lbs, this compact unit packs a 194Wh lithium-ion battery, capable of powering smartphones, laptops, cameras, and more with its 150W continuous and 300W peak output. With a generous array of ports—including AC outlets, USB (including Quick Charge and USB-C), and 12V options—the iGen200s can charge up to nine devices at once. It also includes a handy built-in flashlight with multiple modes and supports AC, DC, and solar charging. Though it's not ideal for sensitive electronics due to its modified sine wave output, the iGen200s delivers great value and performance for light-duty needs, making it a smart and affordable backup power solution.

Unreliable - DO NOT BUY

I own the iGen600s and iGen200s. The 200 charges my laptop fully twice. I purchased the 600 for emergency medical device power. The box was damaged when I received the package. I opened and charged. I wanted to test the 600, so I charged my laptop once, and cellphone twice. Two days later, I attempted to charge my laptop again and the unit died after charging the laptop to 40%, well short of the unit's advertised capability. I am very disappointed. Many recent reviewers have posted after I purchased and had poor experiences too.

So far I like it!

I bought this in case power goes out from a storm. It arrived mostly charged. So far I have tried connecting a fan to it and that worked well. I'm happy about that because if the power goes out and there's no AC here I will at least be able to run a good fan! The unit displays the wattage of what's plugged into it which is a nice feature. I charged it up fully via an outlet in my house and it was easy to tell when it was done. I like the fact the unit is lightweight. And also that is has a locking feature. I know I am going to get a lot of use out of the unit. Also it was very well priced. And I'm happy there's a warranty.

Brand New Never Used Now a Dud

Bought this because we do craft shows and it was easier than paying for an electrical hookup. Charged it up the first night, haven't needed to use it since I bought it 2 months ago.It was also sealed in a water tight container. Went to double check on the unit to see if it still had a charge, and the unit had no charge. Plugged it in to charge it up, the unit would say it's charged, then after I remove the plug, got no power from the unit. Plugged it back in again, and battery meter showed the battery was dead. I repeated the process again to charge the unit, and again the battery would be dead in less than 30 seconds. It was a mistake to buy from Westinghouse

So far so good

I haven't had this for long, but it works well out of the box. I tested recharging some things and it worked as expected. There's some mixed reviews so I am a little concerned about the longevity of the unit, but it still seems to be the best one I could find in the price range. I'm looking forward to having some additional peace of mind in the event of power outages, mainly for keeping my phone and flashlights charged.

Better than any noisy generator

This 1000s unit is the real deal. I didn't expect it to perform so brilliantly but it did. I was without power for 8 days in the SW Va mountains during Helene,, and I was able to run most all of my small items with ease,, I think the only thing I haven't tried yet is my refrigerator,, but it ran a PA system with accessories and then during cleanup I plugged an electric chainsaw into it and cut up two trees with plenty of power to spare. Plus it changes up quickly (in my case the whole house generator recharged it quickly),, then I can turn it off to save propane and use this nifty little device instead. This is a winner,, bravo Westinghouse!

Powers my scope and accessories for hours

I purchased the iGen160s a couple of months ago to power my Celestron CGE1100 telescope and some accessories, including a dew heater and it has worked very well. I have been able to run the scope and heaters for hours without running out of power, which I could not do before with my Celestron PowerTank.

good portable power station

got this unit for an extended stay camping in Yellowstone Nat'l Park. I charged it up, and started testing it at home before I left. Unit has 5 bars for the battery completely charged. I use this for my CPAP and the first 2 nights, it worked fine and the battery bars didn't move. After the third night, it was down 2 bars. After the fourth night it went down one more bar to 2 bars. On the next night, with 2 bars remaining, I went to sleep for about 2 1/2 hours and the unit was DEAD. So now I know it'll last me 4 nights using it for JUST my CPAP, and not needing to recharge it.

Excellent for a small back-up

We bought this about 9 months ago. Sold our house and were living in an RV onsite as we built the new home. Since we are off grid and did not have power 24/7, we used this to power electronic devices when the generator (also WH-dual fuel 9500) was not running. Kept computers and phones charged and operating. Did what it said. Still use it around the barn when we need spot power to something, and also the build in lights in areas were outdoor lighting is not accessible (i.e. feed room in hay barn).
