Equipment Failure Warning straight out of the box

So this isn't the first one I've purchased, and because of my previous experience with Westinghouse products, I've purchased more, 3 this last time. BUT one of the three came out of the box with the Equipment Failure Warning light on and won't hold a charge. The charger and indicator lights tell me it's fully charged, but the moment I unplug it, it dies. This is very disappointing since it seems like I got a dud. The others work great, but this is still an investment and a shame that this one doesn't.

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.

New purchase for a specific use.

A week or so ago we had a power outage that lasted 12 hours, not a common event in my location, Snohomish PUD in the Puget Sound region of Washington state.. but something I noticed when look at my Wi-Fi tablet during the outage... my Wi-Fi was the only one up in the neighborhood, but it was just the Wi-Fi extender on a Yeti 100 power supply... but it was just the extender... this purchase was just the right size to power the router and the wireless handset landline network.. this product should fill that gap in connections to landline and internet, a just right sized solution I hope without tying up Goal Zero Yeti generators I already have , The test will be during the next outage... will I be able to follow outage websites, news, and of course games to pass the time of during a few hours of an outage... Otherwise the design is nice, the light is of good brightness, the weight is light, and since it should be stored plugged in... and emergency power of internet seems a good use.

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!

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).

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.

An Excellent Source of Portable Power

I bought this unit prior to our hurricane season to power my computers in the event of a power loss. Fortunately, we did not see a hurricane in our area, but this unit provided continuous uninterrupted power for my video camera while shooting on location and for my laptop when I was unable to connect to the house electricity. It will become a part of my safety equipment during my long distance drives.

Not Holding A Charge

Purchased 07/06/23 for a camping trip. It performed okay. Last summer (2024) took it to Porcupine Mountains rustic campground fully charged. It would not charge any of our electronics. Tried to get it to work again this morning (04/12/25). It says it's fully charged but won't charge my phone, nor will the flash light work when unplugged from the wall. Seeking remedy for this via 2 year warranty policy before we start our next camping season!

Great design and solid material!

Upon unboxing I am rather impressed with the quality of packaging, which most of the time reflects the quality of product inside. I'm also rather impressed with the layout/design of the unit and the rigidity of the material used on it. Not only is it simply laid out and easy to understand, it is also very well arranged and has all the connecting features that anyone would need to plug in the devices that this unit can handle. The user manual is also straight to the point and easy to read and understand. I am currently waiting to test it out as I have it charging for the first time out of box plugged into an AC home outlet and can't wait to see how it performs.
