Compact and versatile

Bought this generator primarily for off grid camping but it's come in handy for outdoor community events during the pandemic and now we're prepared to keep our refrigerator running and devices charged if we have power outages because of the ice storm in our region of the country.

Started on first pull

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.

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

Easy Start - Great running

Started my Westinghouse - iGen2200 today. First time and it started on the first pull. Much quieter that my father-in-laws older model. I ran our 10amp high speed blower fan, and connected up our 60in HD TV. Ran it for over 15 minutes. Didn't show any signs of running hard. Can't wait to use it camping next weekend.

Pleasantly Surprised

Generators have certainly come a long way. This iGen2200 is lightweight and AMAZINGLY quiet. This, AND it provides a full 1800 Running Amps. I got a great buy during a Sam's Club promotional week, so glad I took advantage of it. Many uses out on my farm, but primarily bought it for use with my Pop Up camper.

I did a lot of research before buying...

I recently purchased this unit to power lamps, vacuum cleaner, coffee maker, space heater when necessary, etc. at my small cabin in the mountains. Due to recent heavy snow I had to cancel my vacation plans so I have yet to actually put my new iGen2200 to use, so hopefully I can update this review after extended use. However, my initial impression is quite favorable. It's nicely designed: Output options are good. Rubber dust/moisture covers on all of the outputs. Very quiet operation. It came with the exact amount of oil & a screw-in spout, so setup was a breeze (BTW: remember keep the empty bottle in order to easily measure the correct amount for future oil changes). Took several pulls to get it going on the initial try, but since then it starts on the first pull. Prior to buying a generator I extensively researched similar products for price, quality, sufficient output & quiet operation. The iGen2200/2500 ranked highly (or highest) on all sites I visited. So as I said: I'll try to add to this review once I've had a chance to see how my IGen performs in real time.

So far, well pleased with my purchase.

After comparing the most popular 2000 watt generators, I decided on the Westinghouse igen2200. Price, reliability, and ease of use all factored into my choice. I am following the 5 hour breakin procedure and everything is functioning perfectly. Once I filled with the provided oil and added the non-ethanol gas, it cranked on the 3rd pull of the cord. I also have started while still warm, and cranks right up. I was also pleased with how well everything was packaged. There were no dents or blemishes when I received it via UPS.

Price great and it works

I just purchased and do not know of durability. Item is as described, getting the cover, for the oil fill location, was problematic without damaging the cover, otherwise a great product for the price it started, ran and powered an electrical item fine.

Outstanding Generator

Took it camping on a long weekend and it worked like a champ. The generator came with oil, which is very easy to fill. It started on the first pull after I filled it with gas. It is quiet for a generator as I watch a movie with the generator right outside of the camper, so nice compared to my old loud generator. The price can't be beat compared to the leading name brand generator. I highly recommend it.

Great for backup power

Works great when running home oxygen concentrator during power outage. The concentrator pulls around 275 watts when running. The generator will not start the RV AC unit but I already had determined it was to small for the operation and was not surprised.
