Easy to use/ Super quiet

Bought this product and everything was packaged nicely and arrived in good shape. After adding the supplied oil and fuel, the engine started on the 4th pull. Break in period went well and generator ran and functioned as described. Similar quality to Honda products that I've used.

Great little portable generator

Great little portable generator The 2200 was simple to set up - access to the oil fill was quick. I added a splash of gas and was running in less than 10 minutes from un-boxing. I use this for general use during camping with the travel trailer and for miscellaneous use when a little power is needed to run some lights, charge batteries, etc. I'll pair it with another 2200, or possibly the 2500, down the road. I'll need the parallelism to power the a/c unit in the camper. This unit is way better (quieter, lighter, solid) than my old yellow and black gunny, and it's just as good as the red ones. And, for some reason, the kids really get a kick out of charging their ipods with the 5V USB outlets.

Light weight, easy setup and starting.

I have a 7550 watt generator that I use to run most things during lengthy power outages. I bought this one to run a small portable room air conditioner, TV and Internet modem/WIFI to save gas at night. I set it up and ran it through one tank of gas with a small space heater cycling on and off and a box fan running on high. Tank lasted for 10 hours. Looks like it will do the job nicely. Hope I never have to use it! LOL! Only negative is that it has no fuel gauge.

Easy starting and quiet!

I bought this about 2 weeks ago in expectance of potential winter storms. I researched a lot of options and this Westinghouse unit seemed to be the best value by far. When new it started in 3-4 pulls the first try, now after a few hours testing it starts on the 2nd pull every time. It's quite, runs smoothly, and burns very little fuel. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

A bit uneasy about the reliability

I just bought my new iGen2200 and was excited about my purchase. I carefully put the oil, added the gas and once I put it on CHOKE to start, it would kick in but never stabilize. I would give it over 30 seconds before switching it to RUN and then it would turn off. I was ready to call the 800 line but 7 hrs later it ran smooth. The next day, I tried turning it on and pull the cable and it would not start...After 2 hrs letting it rest, I was able to start it again. I am definitely having doubts about the reliability of the product.

Amazing must have generator

I bought this Westinghouse iGen2200 inverter generator for emergencies at home. This Generator iGen2200, is capable to run a regular house size refrigerator, 3 lamps, the Internet modem and two cellphone charges without any issues for 2 hours. It was a relief and my wife felt more secure and comfortable in having it. Because of it amazing capability and low noise, I took to my backcountry camping weekend. Amazing to have this awesome generator to inflate all the mattresses, charge our batteries and to provide lighting to our campsite. It was even better that I was able to buy it at a discounted price but now, that I have used it, I can say that I will definitely buy it again and I fully recommend this Westinghouse i2200 inverter generator 😁😉😎🤟🏻🇨🇦🍁 PS: Very easy to set up. Just follow up the instructions provided. No issues at all and it started up right away.

Quiet and fuel efficient

I already have an old, large, inefficient, noisy generator and the family needed some relief while using it overnight especially when the electrical loads were small. This iGen2200 is very quiet. I appreciate how the RPMs and noise fluctuate based on load. At half load, it's exceptionally quiet. At full load, still reasonably quiet, and MUCH better than my existing generator. Also, I'm happy with the fuel efficiency, weight, funnel to add oil, etc. It's a joy to run and I wish I bought this long ago!

Quiet & powerful

So far so good. Purchased a 6 breaker transfer switch to go along with my iGen2200 so I could connect it to our home. The 6 breakers are used by our side-by-side fridge, 1000 watt microwave, kitchen lights (LEDs), family room (ceiling fan, lights, TV), master bedroom, and a bedroom with pool bath. I was able to turn all of those circuits on at the same time. Even had eco mode still on. The microwave was a but iffy to have running at the same time as everything. In a real power outage I would most likely turn off the fridge to help avoid an overload situation. I would also only turn on the circuits required vs. having them all on all the time. The one thing I cannot speak to is runtime. The next time we have an outage I'll be sure to keep tabs on it.

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
