Easy to carry,easy to use

I bought this generator to use around my land where I don't have power. It runs drills, grinders, and lights when needed. Very quiet under light load and still good under heavy load and a great warrenty to boot. Better than all the other generators this size I looked at, and a great price. I wish that it had a 12 volt feature like most of the other ones do.

First Pull Started Right Up - Quiet

Received this unit in a few days after purchasing. Upon arrival, we removed from the packaging, followed the quick start guide, and fired the little beauty up. The noise level was quiet enough to have a conversation with the iGen 10 ft away. Of course, with any internal combustion engine, the will be some amount of noise. However, compared to our regular style (non-inverter) generator this generator is a dream. We will be able to leave it on the patio porch rather than the driveway which is much closer and conserve some of the power output with shorter extension cords. Highly recommended for the price!

Value & Quality

I purchased this portable generator to maintain power to critical items in the event of a power outage. It is lite weight and appears very well built. The manuals that came with it are impressive. Experience will tell if this unit lives up to its good reviews. Happy with my purchase.

Easy setup

I bought this bout 3 weeks ago but just set it up for emergency use, operating power tools, etc. was really easy setup and owners manual is well written and easy to understand. I ran it for about an hour and tested it with different tools and it did very well. Very quiet, easy to start, relatively light and easy to carry and I think we will have a long and happy relationship. Forgot to mention that it was purchased at a great price!

Portable and handy

Bought 6 months ago not light but also not to heavy tote around, used a bit more gas than I anticipated running a 15 amp tool at full load for 2 hours but that is to be expected putting a heavy load on it, always starts up quick and gets going. Came with great little screw on funnel for oil every handy. I'm liking it a lot

Started 1st pull. Ran 5000 btu air conditioner and

I read many reviews of various generators and chose the igen2200. I followed the directions and generator started on the 1st pull. I purchased a magnetic oil plug and saw a very small amount of metal dust and particles after 5 hours. I changed the oil to 100% synthetic and reassembled. I ran the gas tank dry on the break in by not filling the tank. I added a small amount of gas after the oil change and it again started on the 1st pull. I read some negative comments about removing the cover and breaking the tabs, and the cover poorly made. Instructions might be clearer about the tabs and screws but if you take your time and see how it as fastened it is easy to remove and reattach. Take the two screws out and run your screwdriver around the gap and the pressure pins will pop loose and the cover lifts out. It will be easier the 2nd time.

Good features and compact

Just took delivery yesterday, short time delivery and both package and generator came in perfect condition. I added oil and gas and it started on my first pull. Ran for approx. 10 minutes and ran quiet. Ran a corded drill for a few minutes to ensure performance. Thankfully it fits into the side panel of my small Motor home.

Smooth!

This thing is just what I needed! It is super easy to pull start. My wife had difficulty with our last generator, but she can easily start this one. It starts quite easily and is super smooth running and very quiet. It handles the load that I anticipated with ease.

More than expected

I recently bought the Westinghouse iGeb1500c for multiple purposes but mainly to run a pitching machine for a youth team I coach right out of the box it looks great, very straightforward in initial setup which was easy. This model is very light even after a full tank of fuel and oil, it's very quiet with little to no vibration once running. First start up was effortless and smooth there's a lot more options on the front panel than I originally noticed along with very nice bright LED to light up the panel at night which are optional to turn off if you'd like. Also I didn't know it came with ECO mode which is awesome once you turn that one it's even more quiet all while making your fuel last much longer. Highly recommend this product for all around use its truthfully light enough to carry around for anything this is my first Westinghouse product but I can assure you it won't be my last.

Easy to start and quiet!

I will primarily be using this to power televisions and sound speakers out at tailgates, and the occasional small appliances during power outages. I have not had the generator very long so I cannot speak to its overall dependability but after having it crank up on the first pull I can say that my confidence is high and I'm satisfied with my purchase.
