Perfect for my needs

I am currently running the iGEN2200 unit and am overall quite satisfied with how easy it was to set up and get running. The power is adequate for my household emergency needs, though I intend to use it while camping as well. It is quieter than my onboard RV generator. A very nice product, nice appearance. So far is performing well for me. I was impressed with the quality of the documentation that came with the unit as well. Any questions I had were resolved (with quality illustrations) in the owner's manual.

Everything I expected and more

I purchased the iGen2200 to take with me when I go out star gazing. At my first attempt to start it, the iGen2200 started on the second pull (extremely easy to pull start). With one tank of fuel I ran it for 6 hours and still had fuel left over in the tank. I powered my electronic telescope, laptop & additional 22 inch monitor, lamp, boombox & two 800 watt PA Speakers and charged two iPhones, twice each, during the 6 hours. It is SUPER QUIET! I placed the iGen2200 100 feet away from us and the only way we knew it was running was by looking at the green output light. And hats off to you Westinghouse; I grew up using and working on small engines and typically I can smell one running from 500 feet away or more. Not with my iGen2200, I had to walk right up on it to smell it running and I must say, although it was exhaust (disgusting) it was not that intrusive. Also, it is easy to transport. I am just an average person of medium build and I carried iGen2200, with a full tank of fuel, about 50 yards using just one hand. I am exceptionally happy with my purchasing the iGen2200.

Quiet and easy to use, even as a first generator

I did a bit of research and found this generator was well-regarded by reviewers online, and it fit my needs so I went for it. After getting the generator ready by adding the included oil and some gasoline, it was easy to start and works flawlessly so far. I'm still doing the break-in procedure, but even this being the first generator I've purchased it's been very simple to use. It can hum away even under load and you can have a conversation close by.

INVERTER GENERATOR MODEL 2000

This generator really came in handy with the two recent tropical storms as we lose power in our area quite often It is a good size that I am able to handle by myself to take out and and place by a small air conditioner that I can hook up and run so that we can. sleep comfortable in the hot weather

Everything I expected

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.

S-m-o-o-o-o-o-t-h

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.

So Far So Good

The generator arrived well packaged and undamaged. Excellent manual and start-up guides. Love the included threaded funnel for adding oil - no more spillage when adding oil. Two pulls to start. Ran for an hour with varying light loads as recommended during break-in. Smooth running and reasonably quiet. Impressed with the quality fit and finish and useful features such as the dust covers over the outlets. So far so good. I'm happy with my purchase.

All I expected!!

I received this igen 2200 camo generator and it is great. I added the oil provided and put 88 octane alcohol free gas in it. I was amazed at how quiet and smooth running it is. The price is great and Westinghouse has been around a long time. It is not a hard decision to go with these generators. Thanks Westinghouse .

Good Generator so far

I bought this generator at the beginning of August to have on standby for occasional power outages from storms in the summer and winter. I read online that this generator is very quiet and have to say that so far, I agree. In eco mode when there is little power draw, the engine is very quiet. Even when the draw increases, the engine still isn't extremely loud. I haven't tried full load yet as I want to try to power a refrigerator and chest freezer in case the power goes out so we don't lose food. I will be testing that in the coming months to confirm. There are only two concerns I have: - It would be nice if this had a low fuel LED indicator. It does have low oil but fuel would also be helpful. - I also wish the lower end model (iGen2200) has a wattage gauge of some type to see what the load is. I know the 2500 has an LED display to track this but would be nice if the 2200 also came equipped with some thing similar even if not as advanced as a digital screen. Overall, I have been pleased so far. I was looking for a generator cheaper than the popular Honda's that was quiet and still lightweight. I was looking at Wen generators as well but found a great deal on this Westinghouse and have been happy with my purchase. I don't think I will have a need for parallel operation but it is nice to have this option just in case.
