Pretty good design, seems nicely done, mostly

Owned 3 days now. Ran 2 tanks of gas through it and tested extensively. Started on very first pull, easy to start. A few parts fell off, the retainer for the screw that holds on the maintenance panel and the stop-run-choke knob fell off. The cover for one of the switches was loose. Not sure what confidence level I should have in the assembly of the unit. As a mechanical engineer ,it looks well designed, mostly, to me. The included spark plug wrench was cheaply manufactured and I had to spend 10 minutes with a dremel tool cleaning it up to get it to work. It performed well for the 2 tanks I ran through. The idle smoothness wasn't stellar, but it was fine. Stellar is a lot to ask for.

Features As Advertised

Purchased mid November 2022. Shipping was prompt with generator delivered in good condition- no shipping damage to packaging. Unpacked and followed pre start procedures to fill with oil.Gas it up and it started on the 5th pull. Ran for 15 minutes and ran a cutoff saw at 960 watts intermittently for about 5 minutes, Generator responded as it should when power was required. Short run but pleased with response.

Nicely packaged

I just bought the product, haven't used it yet but we purchased it because of the price and the fuel economy within this size of generators. I liked the packaging, the ease of use and clarity of the manual, and the fact that you all included oil with it so we can start using it immediately.

easy setup and operation has great features

I bought the unit in November of 2021 to get ready for any power outages this winter. I just unpacked it and had it running in about 15 minutes, after reading instructions. It was easy to setup just add provided oil and unleaded gas and a couple pulls of the cord it started right up. It has great features like an overload indicator, auto shut off if output is exceeded, also has 2 usb and 2 ac outlets. Now I'm ready for the unexpected.

Great generator, super quiet

I decided to but this generator since I already have a Westinghouse WH2000ixlt and wanted to have the ability to parallel the two generators. This generator is super quiet and seems to run great. I hope this is as durable as my other generator and if so I will be super happy.

Love this geni!

This generator started on the second pull and is quieter than I thought it would be. It's also more powerful than I expected! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a portable but powerful geni for an rv or home use. I bought it to use in my rv, but it also powers my large refrigerator at home and other things.

Only Had for a Day

Well boxed and shipped directly to house. Like the screw in funnel for adding oil, no spills. Kept the oil bottle to refill for future changes. Added 1 quart of gas and ran for 1.5 hours on eco mode. Switched eco off and it ran for another 50 minutes. My biggest amp draw hand tool is a circular saw. Turned it on, not in eco mode, and the red light flickered for 1/2 second as saw started. Not concerned about that. This will be used sparingly to take to rentals if power needed and no one home. Weight is easily manageable for this 65 year old. I have a bigger generator if compressors and big saws needed but it's close to 100 lbs., and I now need ramps to get it loaded...About amp/watt draw of various items. I recommend you buy a kill-a-watt meter to check your household items, published running watts for many things are ridiculously high. My 2 year old fridge draws 8 watts sitting, 110 with compressor running and a 410 twice a day, for 30 minutes each, when the defrost cycle kicks in. My power strip with 52" tv, modem and router draws less than 100 watts. LED light bulbs are 10/15 watts. My 20" box fan on high is 60 watts. If needed this little generator will run quite a lot. Again, strongly recommend buying a kill-a-watt for actual amp/watt draw of your items.

Not sure YET?!?!

I purchased this generator because of the great reviews that were online. I did all the setup per directions, started it and it ran well. I then followed the steps and placed a load on it. Still worked, I was excited. THEN, I took the generator on a planned trip where it was going to be v v cold. I made sure to check the oil, gas and that there was nothing to block exhaust. I pulled the cord and it started, GREAT!! HOWEVER, the moment I put a load on it (small heater 200w) IT STOPPED!!! I am going to try again to see if I did something wrong and if I did, I will revise this review. IF NOT, I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT OTHERS DON'T HAVE SAME ISSUE.

Nice control panel & lightweight

Just purchased have not started up. Reviewed manual and looked over the controls , warning lights. Great features and I like the light weight of this. Great price. Would be ever better if it had a holder to keep tools with it inside like my Honda generator . Fuel drain features are smart

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.
