Bought this as a portable power source. It was affordable, lightweight, and met my needs. It's my second Westinghouse generator! Starts easy, is pretty quiet, and the controls are intuitive. Easy to use for camping, tailgating, and around the house where power isn't available. Easy for one person to put in the back of an SUV and hault it around.

I wanted a small but powerful generator for power outage emergencies. The IGEN 2200 was so easy to set up and start that my wife can use it when necessary. Not exactly looking forward to a time when I really need it, but I'm sure it will fit the bill. Pros: fairly lightweight, east to start, super simple to add oil and fuel. Cons: none yet

I purchased the generator a week ago to use camping. It is easy to operate. It is only 46 lbs, so I found it is perfect to haul with me on any trip. I wish the oil drain was on the bottom of the unit instead of the side. I spilled oil all over the lower housing when attempting to remove some oil (I added too much initially). Overall, this is a great product for the cost.

unpacked, followed instructions provided for startup, oil and funnel provided, added non-ethanol gasoline, turned to choke setting, 2nd pull it was running !! ran as prescribed for break-in, handled load to perfection, only surprise is the noise level is a little louder than expected.

I was looking for a reasonably priced inverter generator because the power in our rural area is not that reliable. I needed a relatively light weight, quiet generator that could handle surges up to 2200 watts. This generator fits perfectly. It runs as quiet as any I've used, and fuel consumption is great. In the end, the three year warranty sealed it.

Light weight and ease to use. Starts first pull every time. Took this "camping" so the wife could have everything she "needed". Like they say 'Happy wife - happy life'. Very glad I purchased this generator. Have recommended it to friends, they bought one and are happy as well.

Instructions were clear. Set up was easy. Stared on first pull. Just as lightweight as expected and advertised. Noise level was higher than expected at Idle it was over 60 db, advertised at 52 db. The in-line fuel filter ended up in fuel tank when I filled it (spout pocked it in). Ended up removing it and purchased a funnel with a filter. Overall I am initially pleased with my purchase.

I bought the IGEN2200 based on other user reviews and the price at Power Equipment Direct. I haven't started it yet. I intend to use it for occasional power outages which occur in the winter. My house is wired with a transfer switch so the IGEN2200 will simply plug into the external port. The 2200 peak watts is enough power to handle the start-up surge of my refrigerator, gas furnace fan motor which is all that is required of it.

Love this little gem. Starts right away and just quietly purrs along cranking out enough power for our basic RV site or blackout needs. To run our RV A/C unit, I plan to team it up (with the available parallel connector) to a second Westinghouse inverter generator. They will both store discretely in the bed of my pickup under the tonneau cover where they are always available on a moment's notice.

Great generator! Starts on first or 2nd pull every time, runs strong and steady. Economy mode works perfect, throttles down to idle when power demand is low, throttles up when demand increases. Pretty darn low noise too. Great engineering went into the case design and the controls. Its heavy enough but easily manageable.
