I spent MONTHS researching this purchase. I read every review on every Inverter website that I could find. I watched seemingly endless hours of YouTube video reviews! I wanted value, yes, but more importantly I needed this device to be as close to silent as I could get... AND... trouble free. It was very helpful to read all about how this device was is great demand following the hurricane in Puerto Rico... they seemed to be seeking dependability for obvious reasons. Bottom Line... everyone I listened to seemed to be very happy with this device... for value reasons... for dependability reasons... AND for noise reasons. That was good enough for me... AND the fact that the Camo version stopped demanding a premium price! So far... after a month of intermittent use the Westinghouse iGen2200 satisfied all of my critical criteria and then some!

We were watching a movie with overnight guests and the power went out. It took 20 minutes to get it out of the box and running. We had the movie going again. Then we used it to power two medical sleeping machines (C-PAP and Bi-PaP) so our guests could get a good night's sleep. I appriciate the lightweight, reliable and quiet nature of this generator. We got a good night's sleep. I recommend this generator.

Really impressed with this unit. Came with easy to follow "getting started" instructions in addition to the full blown user manual. Set up was as easy as adding oil and gasoline and cranking it up. It started on the first pull which was not a very hard pull for me (I was just trying to cycle some gas into the motor!). It powers my refrigerator no problem, also was able to run an electric chain saw space heater, basically anything you could put on a 15 amp breaker in your home. I'm really enjoying the unit, can't wait to take it tail gating or camping. This is the first generator I've owned and I've been very pleased.

Works very well and quite quiet. It powered two refrigerators during a recent Pacific Gas and Electric 40 hour outage Likes: starts with one easy pull. Westinghouse includes a funnel for adding the oil. Easy to add gas to the wide-mouth gas tank. Powered my two refrigerators during a recent 40 hour power outage. Not whisper quiet, but much less noise than my neigbor's beast. Dislikes: No oil drain plug - you're supposed to empty the oil out by tipping this 50 pound device on it's side into a pan. Doesn't sound like fun. Heavy - sure, it's portable, but when filled with gas and oil, it is too heavy for my wife to lift. Hard to check the oil level, which you are instructed to do each time you use it. You have to loosen two scews, then pry a plastic panel off the side to get to the oil dip stick, which is way down on the bottom of the generator. And trust me - bring a papertowel because oil will seep out. Tips: The oil that comes with the unit is just the right amount for your first filling. You'll need a flashlight to see the oil level. If you restart your generator when it is still warm from running, try starting it without the choke - mine wouldn't restart with the choke engaged after a gas refill.

Only owned for a short time but it was exactly what I was looking for. I needed portability over 7500 watts (don't need to power my house with it but just a few things). Easy to setup, easy to use, and while not "light" it is light enough to pick up and move around with one person

I bought this generator 2 years ago for camping. It got very little use over the two years but it worked well when we did use it. This year the pull cord broke. The design for the pull cord is horrible, the spool is in the middle of the generator and I could not get to the last bolt holding it in. It cost me $129 at the repair shop to get the pull cord replaced. To add insult the shop said that the gas tank had a leak due to corrosion and they could not get a new gas tank to replace it.

As advertised, it started on the first pull and puts out stable 125 volts. It registered 70db at ten feet using my iphone app, which registers normal conversation at 65db. So, it is quiet enough at full rpm, and will run two refrigerators at the same time. The carburetor drain is easy for long term storage, as well as oil drain chute. Great machine for the price. I wish I had this after Hurricane Dorian hit my friends house in the Bahamas.

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.

I purchased this iGen2200 for emergency power at home as well for remote power of a small camper, it was just what the doctor ordered. Started right up and is very quiet, fuel consumption is acceptable, well constructed and I look forward to many years of use.

Bought this machine yesterday and after reading the manual fired it up. Started right up and is purring along as I write this article. Super quiet on eco mod and really quiet on regular run. It was well packed in box and the manuals are clear and concise. No regrets. Have just filled out warranty form on line, a real easy task.
