Oil was included with generator thoughtfully and gas was put in - away we go. I have only started it up which was done quite easily but have not run it for a long time yet. I will come back in and give a more detailed report on its performance which if anything like the simplicity of starting up should be positive. Looking forward to a long and good experience with Westy.

I have not used the generator yet. After reading the instructions I added the engine oil and gasoline, It only took two pulls and it started. I did test a couple of power tools a sawsall and a circular saw and the generator handled the load just fine. It runs very quiet and is easy to use and move around. Very well built.

Bought a couple of months ago when power went out. Instructions are very clear and complete. It started the first time after 5-6 pulls on cord. It is quiet and doesn't seem to burn gas too quickly. Have not had to use for a large load such as our fridge, just lighting.

Easy set-up, simple running instructions. Comes with bottle of engine oil. Enough power to run refrigerator, modem and more. I use it for emergencies or when we go camping. Not very heavy and easily to move around. Great piece of mind during the windy winter season

I purchased this generator the last week in August when hurricane Laura was predicted to hit Houston dead on. It didn't hit us, but did major damage in Louisiana, so I did not need it at the time and it sat in the box in the garage. I contemplated returning, but figured I would need it eventually and boy was I glad we had it when Texas failed to look out for its citizens allowing us to be stranded 4 days with NO POWER and, for us, no water due to pipes bursting on account of the lack of power during this abnormal cold spell we had here in Houston!! I had originally purchased it solely to keep my freezer in the garage running and charge cell phones. It was so cold out the freezer was fine, but this kept us alive and warm running an electric room heater we had on hand, so I am thankful we had it and it worked beautifully! Kept us at a toasty 70 degrees in the oversize master bedroom even when it was 12 (feels like -2) outside! I don't tolerate cold well so I was glad this unit functioned as described and worked so beautifully for us here! Thank you Westinghouse-- -- you may well have saved this old gal's life!

I bought this generator due referrals from acquaintances. After filling it with oil, and gas, I pull the selector switch in choke position, it took 7 pulls to get the gas to the carburetor to start the motor. I was delighted to here how quiet it ran, no tinny banging or eardrum compressing sound! I ran it for one hour after the first start, and did plug in a box fan to use some amperage.

I liked that it is an American name. The size, weight and noise level are great features. It started on the second pull. Successive starts have been on the first pull. Also the starter rope is very easy to pull. I have looked at generators for several years now and when weighing all features and price this is the winner. I plan to use this with my fifth wheel camper and as a backup at home in case of power outage.

I just received it a few days ago. bought it to use in Christmas Parade. I put the oil in and some gas. it fired up on the 2nd pull. I don't like that you need a screw driver to remove the side panel to check the oil level. I do like the handle on top of unit to carry.

I bought the iGen 2200 for my husband a couple of weeks ago, and he was very excited to get it. He often carries power tools and needed this to run some of them out in the field. I am looking forward to using it when I power wash and vacuum the car. I think it's really going to come in handy camping. Haven't tried it yet, but can't wait!

Everything worked. Added oil, gas, performed safety checks, and once running, just works. My only complaint? The three position switch (off, run, choke) has little pictures that are pretty useless. After realizing coke I had and run reversed, I was able to start it right up. Always read the manual when you find a subtle change in labeling:)
