The instructions were easy to understand and follow. It started with a few initial tugs. It started on the first or second tug from then on. It is SOOO quiet. I'm thankful we decided to trade using our big, hulky, and noisy one for this small, sleek, and super quiet one.

I bought the iGen 2200 in August. It arrived within two weeks and I was kept up to date on delivery process. Once it arrived, the set up instructions were easy to follow and I had it working right away. It powered a couple of extension cords just fine. I think this will serve my needs for power outages very well. It is around 47 pounds so I have placed it on a rolling cart to make it easier to move from storage.

Did I get bad luck? I bought it in May but hadn't got time to open the box until the tropical storm Laura came in this week. Called the company support line during the power outage and they told us to register the product first then could guide us to technical support. I wish I could have a return and exchange to Samsclub but was told this could only be done in 30 days after the purchase. It was my fault not testing it earlier, but I just can't believe a brand new generator couldn't work after my husband followed every instruction in the manual correctly to set it up. It started with the normal noise but couldn't generate any electricity. There should be lights on after started but we got none. So be careful and take my lessons learned! Do test this generator as soon as you open the box! Sent it to the repair store finally and we are still waiting for the updates from the repair person. God knows how urgent we needed a generator during a power outage for two days in the hot summer but this brand new one just couldn't work!

I'm skittish with gas and electricity, and I'm not mechanically inclined with equipment. So I was pleased to find that the instructions seemed fairly straightforward. I bought this in preparation for hurricane season to at a minimum, have power for fans at night, a small microwave and the USB ports. Thankfully, I haven't had to put it to the test yet.

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!

I purchased this gen to power our travel trailer when using our toaster oven or microwave. Came with everything you need right out of the box with the exception of gas... followed the quick start steps and fired up on the first pull. Easy enough to pull that the little ones get a kick out of helping you start it up. Noise level is comparable to my buddies Honda 2000. Night but a tad higher dB but not noticeable unless you are in complete silence and purposely listening for it. Plus it's got the extra kick about its competition at the same price! Trust me when I say as an engineer I'm prone to doing extensive research. After many days and hours of reading reviews and talking to folks with other genies I couldn't pass this one up. Anyways just got back from a 3 nighter at 8500' elevation in the Sierras and had no issues whatsoever!

I won't have to go through another hurricane in the dark, without coffee! Starts easily and super quiet. I put in on an old dolly to wheel it around, but light enough to just carry. Enough power to run everything I need to stay comfortable and informed during power outages.

Really liked the fact that the unit came with the pre-measured amount of oil for initial fill-up. After adding oil and filling with gas the iGen 2200 started right up and ran very quietly. Very impressed so far, especially the price point compared to Honda. Right now I feel like the smartest guy on the block!!

After losing power for the fifth time in two and a half years, I decided we needed to get a generator for backup power. This unit is the perfect size for running a few essentials around the home. Setup was easy as it includes an oil funnel, screw driver, spark plug wrench and a bottle of oil in the box. The unit has enough power to run a space heater and some lights. It is also able to power my refrigerator, though not at the same time as the space heater, to keep food from defrosting or spoiling. It is small enough that I was able to clear some space on a shelf in my garage to store.

Needed a small generator that would run my microwave and lighting needs in my converted cargo trailer. Fitted my needs and light enough to carry in and out of the trailer. The long run time is add bonus and the run time can run my needs for a three day weekend with out refueling . Happy with my purchase and the price was light on my wallet.
