So far so good

Easy to set up, start and only ran it for 5 hours for the break in period.

Undecided and Skeptical

I bought 2 and neither would run, the seller sent me 2 replacements and 1 of the replacements ran 1 did not. They sent me a fifth and I finally had 2 generators that run after 3 months of dealing with it. At this point I wish I could just get my money back because after receiving 3 out of 5 that wouldn't run brand new out of the box, I am very skeptical about how long they will last without any problems.

Won't Start!!

From the time I received and prepared this unit for its first use, it has failed to start for me. I have had it since July and still cannot get it to start. I have gone through the Operator's Manual thoroughly and have watched may online videos to try and troubleshoot the problem. I have reached out to Westinghouse and hopefully, this will help me without sending me to a Service Center that is 50 miles away from where I live. Hopefully, this gets resolved so I can amend this review to a good one, but for now, the unit is worthless.

Super quiet and light weight!

This is my second Westinghouse generator I've purchased in the last 10 days! I previously purchase a wgen 9500df which I absolutely love! I've always wanted a small unit to keep in truck, take on ATV, ETC. this is another exceptional unit offered by Westinghouse, ease of starting, and complete functionality makes this another great purchase, these are not my first generator units by far, but I believe these will be with me for years to come, thank you Westinghouse… AGAIN

Used for 1st Time During PG&E Outage of 2019

It worked well & we got through 15 hours of down time with only 1 fill-up at the 11 hour mark. The instructions are confusing though. If this is true: "Everything you need is in the box The iGen2200 also comes with Oil, Funnel, Tool Kit, Manual, and Quick Start Guide," then where is the grounding kit per "Be sure the inverter is properly connected to earth ground before operating (User Manual, p. 11)? It took me a couple hours to find a place that could make one for me.

Portable, quiet and started on first try

This generator seems to be well designed and supplies the power it specifies. I plugged my daughters 1800 watt hair dryer in and it worked fine.I am going to use this as backup power for a refrigerator/ freezer, pellet stove, lights and possibly the TV. I did test this out and it powered all these items with no problem. The specifications on there web site says it supplies power at a THD rating of less than 3 percent however the manual has a THD rating of less than 5 percent? It would be nice if Westinghouse would bring some of there manufacturing back to the USA though.

Perfect for our refrigerator in Texas Ice Storm

We initially bought this generator to have a quiet generator when camping - for fans, small electronics and the like. However, our first real use was the Great Texas Ice Storm of 2022. This little beauty kept our refrigerator (with expensive meds), our electric ignitor for our gas fireplace, our ATT fiber access point and router and our various mobile electronics going. A full tank lasted 10 hours on this load. It was just enough power to start the refrigerator (barely - but did it). Once the compressor had been running a while in the refrigerator, it restarted even with all the rest of the load going - guess it need an initial warming up from the cold as a hard start. It ran through several gallons of regular gas without a hiccup. We ran trufuel through at the end to prevent any ethanol damage as we store it for the next use. Very glad to have this.

Initial Observations

I just powered up my iGen2200 today and don't have much experience so far. A screw driver is required remove 2 screws to open the side compartment to add or check oil. I'm used to generators with a one screw side panel that can open with a coin. I guess I'll keep a screw driver around. I also noticed when filling the oil that the electronics is not fully potted like some other competing products. Time will tell if there are reliability issues or not, but it got me to fill out my warranty registration. The generator started on the first pull and ran an 1800 watt hair dryer. At this point, it looks like an excellent value.
