EASY - EASY

Easy set up, start and run. Works great with my 5th wheel and after installing a Micro-air easy start it will even run the 15k btu AC unit - great generator

So far so good

I have only used the generator 3 times and so far it is working fine. Quiet and easy to start (usually 2 pulls). I have run power saw lights and small air compressor and worked great.

Comparable to my friends Honda generator.

Very quiet and the eco mode works like a demand actuated throttle control. Compares well to my friends Honda at 1/3 the cost when it was on sale. I wish I would have bought 2 and been able to link them. If they go back on sale I will purchase another one. They provided more oil than needed to fill the crankcase, so made a bit of a mess, but no big deal.

Quiet small generator

Was looking for a small and quiet generator for some concerts I play in the middle of nowhere as well as on the lake on our pontoon. Friend of mine bought one, showed it to me....and I was hooked! Very quiet, very good small generator. Can carry on a conversation 6' away without raising voice. Yes, you hear it from only 6', but you're not fighting to be heard over it at that distance. 30' away with exhaust pointed opposite direction, it can barely be heard at all. Starts very easily on first pull.

Good Inverter

It starts up great. Very quiet. Hooked it up to my trailer and It started up my air conditioner. Wow a 1,250. I bought two Westinghouse iGen2200 and plan on doing two anyways. Waiting for a parallel cord for over a month. There impossible to find. I HATE SUPPORT THOUGH. Third time using it. Started up great. When I hooked up the trailer it died and would not start up. Called, e-mailed, and no respond yet(2 weeks). The next day it started up and no problems since.

Replacement does a good job

First unit received had shipping damage (cracked exterior case). Sam's Club handled the exchange very efficiently. In fact replacement arrived before damaged generator was picked up by FedEx for return. Westinghouse iGen2200 started right up & powered a small space heater & refrigerator without any problems for break in period. Is nice to have peace of mind that I can keep essentials powered up in case of interruption.

Good for backup

Came as described, started and produced electricity. bought as a backup. Don't trust the manufacture for the "free" cover if you give a review, haven't see the one they promised.

Gas generator

Wasn't really in the Market, but to keep my wife happy and prevent her from spending gobs of money on a huge unit I took advantage of this recent sale. It arrived on schedule and started up easily and will power a couple of essential appliances in an unlikely emergency. It only weighs about forty pounds so I can transport it if necessary. It should power up my freezer,refrigerator and tv or lights.

Disappointed

I bought two of these inverters at the same time. I followed the start up directions exactly and yet one of them would not even start and the other one idles inconsistently even with no load. I took the one that would not start back to the store. The one that runs seems to do ok supporting a refrigerator and a small fan. I guess I'll keep the second one.

Great price but.."....

Purchased on sale, great value. Took extra long time to arrive. Didn't even ship until after original delivery date. After setting up, started 3 try. Afterwards always first pull. Would hardly run when in run position. Had to have it just slightly above choke position to run. That leads me to believe it was running very lean and starving for fuel. It would run a bit better if vent was turned off. Contacted Sams first and could not have asked for a better experience. Was told I would be sent a return label and monies refunded. I told them I wanted to try it for a few days and see if it got any better. I did and it didn't. It would not produce enough power to run a small microwave in my travel trailer. Contacted Westinghouse because I really wanted it to work. I got someone who only dispatched calls to technicians and was told I would be contacted by a technician. Waited 3 days and was never contacted. Called again and same song. Told them to cancel my request, I would return the generator to seller. Contacted SamsClub again and was told since they were out of stock, I could return to my local Sams for a refund. Did so today, took about 5 minutes in the store. Sams 5 stars, Westinghouse 1.
