Quiet, compact, and easy to maintain.

Bought this to replace a larger generator that was simply too loud to use for long periods of time. Here on the Gulf Coast having a generator is a necessity and having one that's quiet is a plus. This generator is easy to set up, quick to start, incredibly fuel efficient, and most important of all, quiet. The unit as a whole feels well made and I don't think we'll have any issues with it lasting a while. Fingers crossed it won't get much use this summer.

Nice little generator

I bought this because I wanted a good small generator. Westinghouse claims this is a pure wave inverter generator. So I tested it. I placed this generator on my flat bed trailer, then I bought out oscilloscope. I was impressed with what my oscilloscope showed. This is a very good generator.

So far, so good...

I purchased the IGen2200 August of 2020 to use in our Class B RV. I own 4 other gensets, but nothing as quiet or handily portable. (it fits behind the driver's seat) We took it on a trip into Wisconsin and Minnesota using it off and on over 4 weeks. It ran the roof AC & kept the house battery charged with no problem. Again later in November on a 3-day trip, then winterized it. Just now pulled it out, (Oct, 2021) gave it a little fuel, and fired up on the 3rd pull after nearly a year in storage. It runs a long while on a gallon, mat not be quite as quiet as the most expensive units - but nearly so. (I have comparative experience with the pricy red ones..) So, so far, so good! Gave 4 stars for being only slightly louder, but would prefer to give 4.5 as it runs great! Let's see how it lasts over the years with proper care. I've been recommending it to many others. Thanks Westinghouse! "Cowboy" BG, Ohio

Quiet, long run time

Very simple to get going. Pulled it out of the box, added oil using the provided threaded funnel, added some gas, pulled about 5 times, and off it went. This is my first experience with an inverter generator, and I was impressed with how quiet it was. I won't be using for a while, so I wanted to empty the gas, and it sure ran a long time on the little trickle I had given it. Impressed so far.

Does its job.

Great generator, but higher maintenance than my previous Predator 2K inverter generator from Harbor Freight. Spark plug was not gaped correctly, had to replace within first week of operation, and air filter seems to soak up a lot of oil even though the generator is firmly placed on a flat level surface. But as long as air filter and spark plug are kept clean and oil changed regularly it seems to run very well.

Great Peace of Mind

I bought two of these for 3600 watts of electricity and am pleasantly surprised at how many appliances I can use at one time in a power outage. Because newer appliances are so energy efficient we can run central heat (gas) blower, power electronic ignition on gas water heater, 27 cu. ft. refrigerator, 65" tv, cable modem and wifi router, lights (LEDs), fans, and even an 8,000 btu window unit in a summer outage to keep one room livable.

Running two in parallel

My travel trailer has a 15,000 BTU air conditioner and I needed more than one small generator to start and run that unit. Two Westinghouse iGen2200 inverter generators will run in parallel and produce more than enough power to take care of the air conditioner as well as some other smaller loads on the camper. I have two of these iGen2200 generators now and have tested them running in parallel and they operate very well for my needs. And, as a bonus, they don't cost as much as some other brands.

So far, well pleased with my purchase.

After comparing the most popular 2000 watt generators, I decided on the Westinghouse igen2200. Price, reliability, and ease of use all factored into my choice. I am following the 5 hour breakin procedure and everything is functioning perfectly. Once I filled with the provided oil and added the non-ethanol gas, it cranked on the 3rd pull of the cord. I also have started while still warm, and cranks right up. I was also pleased with how well everything was packaged. There were no dents or blemishes when I received it via UPS.

Great Bargin

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.

Great Product and Value

I have been searching for a quality inverter generator that could get the job done and meet my criteria. It had to be efficient, low noise, light weight, dependable, reasonable value and look great. I am very proud and confident the IGen2200 is the perfect generator. I compared other manufacturers and reviewed multiple sites and reviews. I knew of Westinghouse and immediately became a fan based on what others were saying about their generators. Once I received my IGen2200, I was extremely excited. I followed the set up procedures and it started immediately with ease. I can't wait to hit the road and use it at tailgates or camping and know that I have a great unit for back up power at home when needed. Thanks Westinghouse. I am a big fan!
