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.

Excellent product. Saved my freezer and fridge!

Had this for a while but never had to pull it out of the box. This summer we had numerous windstorms that took down trees and power lines. Left without power I pulled this out of the box and followed the simple instructions to get this generator running. 15 minutes later this very quiet inverter generator was purring away. As it warmed up, I ran my extension cords to the fridge and freezer. I don't think it blinked when I plugged them in. It ran most of the day and I still had gas in the tank. Great mileage! :-) I'm so thankful that I had this unit on hand. It started the first time on the second pull. This great little product blew me away. Excellent quality and value.

Amazingly Quiet!

I just got this generator. I put the oil and gas in and a few pulls later, it had started. And it is QUIET! I don't have anything to compare it to since I don't have any other generators, but this thing is amazing! FAR quieter than my relatively quiet lawn mower. I let it run for a few minutes and it ran very smoothly. On ECO mode, it's even quieter.

Very happy with my I Gen 2200

I bought my IGen2200 last year in anticipation of using it with my camper and in order to be prepared if I lost power at my home, to power my fridge. I did not end up camping as planned, therefore I didn't open my Igen2200 until last week Sept.23. in preparation for the pending hurricane Ian, The directions were very clear and easy to follow and Easy to set up. I is not really heavy so I can easily move it and It worked as I expected. Everything was included to get it working and was very well explained . I did a lot of research before I choose this generator, and I must say it doesn't disappoint, so far . It is so quiet and easy to start (I'm a 70 year old woman) I did connect it to my camper and try it out so see if would serve my purpose and it performed to all my expectations.
