Just purchased the iGen2200. After adding oil and gas it started with the first pull. To test it we plugged in a high dryer set it on high and ran for 15 minutes. Everything worked well. I like the light weight and low noise level when there is no load, but under a load the noise is as loud as any other small generator. I can't give it 5 stars because I have not used it under a load for an extended period. Time will tell.

I bought this for an emergency power source as hurricane season arrived. I have tested it with heavy duty electrical appliances and it handle the load easily. Started on first pull. Relatively quiet. Eco mode worked well. Would have liked a fuel cutoff valve, but otherwise has everything needed.

This was delivered 1 day before a California revolving blackout. Since I hadn't taken it out of the box yet when the power went out, I had to do the setup in the dark with a flashlight. I had not problem at all following the instructions and filling it with oil and gas for the first time. Everything is included that you need (except gas of course) for the initial startup which is much appreciated. It then started on the very first pull, wonderful!

I live in a hurricane prone area of the US and over the last few years have suffered through with no power sometimes for days after a storm. We decided to get this generator and are so glad we did! It has many excellent features you normally won't find on a unit at this price (the digital display is amazing) and has plenty of power to keep the comfort after a storm.

I'm impressed on how much power we can drag out of these little guys. I bought 2 of the IGen 2200w to be used pararelled. I live in Puerto Rico and after we got hit by hurricane Maria, I've been able to run my entire house out of these inverters. Of course, there is a lot of common sense when using a generator, they have being running 12+ hrs. daily for approximately a month now. Oil changes are religiously done every 3-4 days, wattage has been carefully calculated... we try not to overload them and stay away from using any appliance that requires heat (even the smallest one). These have been excellent in powering up our 2-door fridge (11.4 amps), a small separate freezer (14.6 amps), the entire house lights, 3 TVs, 3 fans, 2 computers, a wireless printer, our satellite internet modem and a UPS battery. Plus a few smaller things like cell phones, battery charging packs, rechargeable led lights, etc. They run 12 hours using about 1 gallon of gasoline for each unit... if you turn the fuel efficiency mode on it can run up to 15 hours. We prefer the regular mode m, as running on efficiency seems to put more workload on the motor... we definitively want these to last long, so we stopped using this feature. However, for people with smaller powerloads the fuel efficiency mode could be beneficial. I would definitively recommend this product... its quite... not silent, though, but a lot less noisy than traditional generators. I did a lot of research before going for Westinghouse and these are comparable in performance and durability to much more expensive generators like Honda and Yamaha. Very happy with my purchase!!!

This is my 1st time ever getting a gas generator. I'm so glad I found this one. It is so portable even I can easily haul it anywhere, being a female. Following the instructions was easy enough. All the tools needed were provided. And after turning it on and leaving it for 5 mins runtime, just to chk for any issues, so far so good. The motor noise is minimal, as advertised. Would highly recommend this product.

I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase the Westinghouse iGen2200. I bought this to use with my RV and will buy another to run in parallel so I can power my air conditioner. The generator is easy to start, easy to use, and I haven't heard a similar generator any quieter. I'm very happy with this purchase and I recommend it!

This is the second generator I purchase of the same brand and it has been the best investments I made. Also have the WGen9500and love them. They won't disappoint trust me. Great products. In time of an emergency you need something reliable and this brand is it and for the price you get more then what you asked for years to come.

After reading specs, reviews and ratings online, I chose the Westinghouse igen2200. Great efficiency, run time, quiet operation and price point! Had it for a week, following engine break-in recommendations. Starts on first pull, absolutely no issues. Very satisfied!

This is a great inverter generator. Just as light, quiet and reliable as a much more expensive major model I own. I am pairing two of the igen2200 and they easily handle our RV's air conditioner. We have two RVs, both 30 amp, one with a 15k a/c and the other a 13.5k. These two units easily handle the load without a soft start. I did try using the softstartup portable unit with just one of the inverter generators, but each a/c was too much for the setup.
