Quiet!

Received the package this past week, all in good shape. Performed the break in period today with a variety of of items with draws ranging from 60 to 800 watts. When in eco mode this generator was extremely quiet. I was impressed. By the way, it started on the second pull, not requiring too much effort.

the title is fine, it's what ya'll named it

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.

Quiet, efficient and well equipped.

I am very pleased with how quiet this is when at idle (and eco mode). It feels solid, starts on the first pull, and was able to power all the electrical appliances in our camper (other than the A/C, as expected, and not all at once). This is our second generator, the other is a 3100W Inverter. Our higher powered generator is about 110 pounds dry, so this one will be going with us on all but the hottest camping trips! Maintenance access openings are well placed, and the instruction manual was just detailed enough to get us going right away. Including the spark plug wrench, oil and funnel was wonderful!

Excellent buy at this price

Got a little nervous after reading some of the negative reviews but after getting it I was happy to find that it was all as advertised. It fired right up and after doing a proper break in and changing out oil as instructed it has worked flawlessly. Runs very quiet and compared to units twice as expensive I can see no diffeernce other than a reasonably priced product vs an overpriced version of the same thing. I would definitely recommend this generator.

The right size for the right job

I am a newly anointed Floridian. Last year when we moved to this state, Hurricane Irma hit just a few short months after we arrived. We were ill-prepared and didn't have the things we need to ensure we can survive a catastrophic hurricane. This year, we'll be ready. The most important item on the list is our new Westinghouse 2200 watt inverter generator. While everyone else is doing last minute purchases of overpowered 8000 watt generators, I'll wait confidently that my generator will take care of us. As an inverter generator, you cannot beat the efficiency. And for the power rating, it does the most important things I need it to do: run our refrigerator, charge our phones, run one or two fans. If we want to brew a cup of coffee or microwave food, it's too simple to briefly unplug the refrigerator and get to cooking. I paired the generator with a 5-gallon no-spill gas container that, according to my calculations, could keep us going for 1 3/4 days at 50% and load. If we use the generator only when we need, we can lengthen that timespan to roughly 2 1/2 to 3 days. If you think about it, this thing saves you money too. Instead of having to throw away spoiled food and purchase a lot of non-perishables, you can run your refrigerator and keep your food and beverages cool. Back to the unit: it's a brilliant blue color, weighs as much as carpet shampooer (for comparison). It's easy to carry around especially with the handle. The controls are simple to use and the instructions provided give ample information on first use, sustained use, and maintenance. As for the power generation, what more is there to say: it makes power :)

Great little generator.

What a great compact generator that is quiet for the power it provides. Was looking at Honda and Yamaha generator's thinking they were the only manufacturer that made a quiet unit, with a lot of comparisons the igen2200 was compatible and 1/2 the price. Put the included oil in the unit added gas and it fired right up…ran smooth.

Excellent product

Second Westinghouse generator for this family. The first has been inherited by my brother after hundreds of hours of flawless operation. This new iGen2200 started on the second pull and runs at 41 decibels in the efficiency mode. Good quality product at a great price. Keep it up!

Nice Machine

Generator came 6 weeks early and in great shape. I was afraid it would languish on a container ship all winter!! It was nicely packaged and directions were straight forward. Have not started it yet, I need to get fresh gas first! I'm sure it will be a smooth operator!

Working Great ~ Very Quiet

Very pleased with the purchase price. Followed the instructions and the generator started on the seventh pull. I have been running the unit to break it in. I have re-started the generator 3-4 times and it starts on the first pull now, even after sitting overnight. The unit is very quiet.

Great product with a great warranty.

My first unit had problems, called customer service they took my information and problem. got an email from there technician who had me try several things but could not resolve the problem. so they sent me a shipping label. I sent the unit back and they sent me a new one. I have since taken it camping, it was quititer that my brother in law's honda, it ran about 8 hours a night for 6 nights, and never ran out of gas during the night, had no problems running my trailer all night and a couple of nights were very cold. I am very happy. Thank You
