Bought 2 - currently using 0

We bought 2 of these generators in July. when we got them home, one of them didn't work straight out of the box so we brought it back immediately for a refund. The other started right up and seemed to work great. Here we are 5-6 months later and it is completely shot and we only used it a handful of times. Very low quality - get what you pay for situation. very very disappointed. Contacted the manufacturer and they have yet to respond. So sorry to everyone who has bought one of these and happy Sam's is out of stock so no one else wastes their time and money on this.

GRAB SOME BEERS AND HAVE A SEAT!!!

Ordered 2 of theese units, price was great all of the reviews were great. How can you go wrong right? (Open beer here) well for starters took almost a month to arrive at our door. I can deal with that our world has been turned upside down with this stupid Covid pandemic. So... they finally arrive, i felt like a kid again getting a new bike. Seeing these beautiful machines when i arrived home work made my day. Take them to the garage get the first one unboxed add the oil some gas first pull started right up, amazing machine quiet everthing i expected. Time to un vail this 2nd beautiful machine (open 2nd beer here) same thing add oil and gas. Started a little harder but did fire up eventually then started shaking and running a little rough. Waited 30 min. went back oit tried it again woukd only run on full choke when i switched to run it would sputter and die. Ok, hopped on the google for sone help did a few things. Still nothing, tried to contact Westinghouse house support, no answer, no call back, sent an email, they did contact me back and said they would get back to me as soon as they could. 5 days later decided to take it to a small engine shop and have them take a look. (Open 3rd beer here) got a call mid afternoon stating that carb looked good and the only thing they notice was a cracked air intake gasket. Ok, easy fix. Bipity Bobity new gasket be running as great as the other one. But that one little problem, these engines are not of name brand and is hard to find parts for evidently. So, the search continues . In addition, Sam's club has been amazing and very helpful through out this entire process and saying we can exchange the unit but not sure when more i verts would be available. Too bad Westinghouse couldn't be the same. Enjoy that buzz and I'll update when i get some answers.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and encouragement of a good time during it! While it is disappointing to not have a couple beers available to join, we're even more disappointed to hear about this situation and deeply apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Unfortunately, due to heightened demand and COVID-19 production delays, we may have longer response times and low availability of our generators which we are working very hard to bring back ASAP. We're glad to hear we were able to help you out and please keep us updated as we look forward to hearing how the repairs go! Have a great day!

Leaking fuel

Worked great on initial startup. I followed the storage procedures after letting it run for 1-2 hours from its initial startup. Started it up during a power outage; it was throttling high to low, and leaking fuel everywhere (likely a carburetor issue). Virtually a brand new engine that completely failed when I needed it. I am very disappointed at the poor quality of this machine.

Hello, thank you for your purchase, we are deeply sorry to hear about your experience! From what you have mentioned, it is more than likely that it is a carburetor issue, unfortunately with the factory testing we do there can be some leftover gas left in the machine that can cause the carburetor to have a layer of varnish and cause issues like the one you are having. Thank you for your detailed feedback, I have passed it along to our quality control team to ensure this does not happen again! Please reach out to us at 1-855-944-3571 or support@wpowereq.com and we will make things right for you! Thank you, Zach - Westinghouse

Amazing generator very capable.

I just bought this generator and I needed it for an emergency trip up to the mountains without this. I would've been lost. This was so simple to use. I was able literally to pull it out of the box. Add the oil add some fuel and on the first pull, it started I had no weird issues with it at all. It was able to power at least half the items I needed at one time I do not regret buying this. The best features that I can do parallel electrical support with it. It came with all the tools I needed and so far I have had no issues used to be a Yamaha and Honda guy, but I am now Westing house guy! I would absolutely recommend this purchase For anyone who is on the fence.

Small Generator for Home Power Outages

The iGen1500c is just what we needed to power essentials during home power outages. For example, we found we could not open our rather heavy garage door during an outage, and our cars were in the garage. The inverter includes two 20 amp outlets, other outlets to plug cell phone chargers directly to the unit, and parallel connectors. The iGen1500c is quiet, very easy to start, and the thorough instructions are easy to understand.

Great value

Great value for the money, compact and light weight. After reviewing the manual and required maintenance I noticed there was no mention of the the small in-line fuel filter and any requirement for replacement. The fuel filter is a common small engine in-line filter that do require replacement over time. The placement of the fuel filter could also be in a better location for ease of maintenance since you will need to remove the air filter intake hose/feed in order to gain access to the fuel filter

Great Product!

I purchased this IGen2200 as a back up generator just to have 'in case' and I am sure glad that i did. I is a well rounded product that is well crafted and easy to find parts for it. There is ample reviews and how to videos on line, and is an excellent generator for suburban needs, despite not having high wattage in this model. Also, it doesn't take up too much space.

Still a little rough under load

I've been breaking in the generator and loading it at no more than 50% as specified in the manual. I'm in the first 1.5 hours of the 5 hour break in period. While idling it purrs, but under load it tends to surge. I'm hoping this will calm down after the break in period is done. I'm running brand new gas and have already changed the oil once to ensure any manufacturing junk is removed. I'm also running a little sea foam in the gas to clean out the fuel system, assuming that is the problem. If it continues to surge after 5 hours I'm likely to return it to the retailer. Giving 4 stars, as I'm still hopeful.
