JUST WHAT WE NEED

We received this generator a few days ago. We've set it up, ready to go. We anticipate using it in making repairs at a rental where there is no power. Also, we face the threat of frequent hurricanes and enjoy the comfort of knowing we will have a source of power should the electrical powerlines get downed.

Sounds quiet until under a heavy load unless paralleled

I am gonna enjoy having the two units that weigh only about 40 lbs and are easy to transport and i will have about 3600 running watts for about $875$ i got both on sales and made off pretty good. A Honda at 3600 running watts is about $4000 these are just about as quiet just by a margin is the westinghouse louder..

Something new for me

Delivered very quickly. Easy to unbox and follow set up. Started with about three pulls. Verified all the outputs were working. Let it run for about 30 minutes without load to break in. A little noisier than expected but purchased specifically as a back up in case of weather related power outage. Something new for me. I've never used a generator of any kind. So far seems pretty simple to operate and hopefully will be reliable if needed.

WOW - VERY HAPPY with my IGen2200

I hope I don't have to use this! But have unpacked and powered it up! Went very well --- I AM IMPRESSED and feel that I really got my money's worth. I will need to remember to start this little guy up monthly. I bought this for a BBQ contest I participate in but because of COVID --- who knows when these type of events will resume... THANKS, WESTINGHOUSE

Handy generator

We bought this portable generator because my husband uses a cap machine at night & thought in case a power failure occurs, it would be just the thing to power his machine. Westinghouse is a trustworthy name, & we are very confident the generator will serve us well!!

It started right up

My generator arrived today. I filled it with oil. It started up on the first pull. I tested it today with a 1500 watt heat gun, and it worked fine. Mine is to run a refrigerator from an extension cord after a hurricane. I'll test it using the refrigerator next.

Impressive unit!

After in-depth research, I decided to purchase this unit and it's performance impressed me! Unit's first start after loading oil and fuel was on the third pull! Unit now starts on only one pull! Very minimal effort is needed to pull and unit is super quiet! I will definitely purchase another.

First Personal Generator - Great Start

I just received the Igen2200 a couple of days ago and finally unboxed it and fired it up. I have not had anynreal time with it, but here are the positives so far: 1. Clear and concise instructions 2. Well-packaged 3. Everything needed was in the box 4. After adding the oil and gas, it fired up on the second pull (easy pulls). Every time after that, it cranked on the first pull. 5. QUIET QUIET QUIET - On eco mode for space heaters, phones, and fans, it was a very low hum. I'm used to generators at work sounding like they are about to take off for flight. Once I took it off of eco mode, it was still quiet and there were not a bunch of rattles. It sounds very smooth.

Easy start

I bought this three weeks ago and it arrived earlier than expected. It works great. I use ethanol free gas with a stabilizer. The side panel to add oil was hard to open until I figured out that after removing the two screws, you have to pull rather hard to dislodge it from the two side inserts. Overall, I'm very pleased with the generator.

Nice features, poor access for oil dipstick

I like the features and what appears to be a solidly constructed generator. I wish the location of the dipstick was more convenient for checking the oil as often as recommended. You need to remove the side cover which requires a screwdriver to remove two screws. Once you remove the screws, you have to pull the maintenance cover off that is also held in place by grommet posts. The manual says to "carefully pull the cover out with both hands to prevent damage to the grommet posts." This does not sound the like the best arrangement for accessing the oil dipstick.
