Excellent for a small back-up

We bought this about 9 months ago. Sold our house and were living in an RV onsite as we built the new home. Since we are off grid and did not have power 24/7, we used this to power electronic devices when the generator (also WH-dual fuel 9500) was not running. Kept computers and phones charged and operating. Did what it said. Still use it around the barn when we need spot power to something, and also the build in lights in areas were outdoor lighting is not accessible (i.e. feed room in hay barn).

An Excellent Source of Portable Power

I bought this unit prior to our hurricane season to power my computers in the event of a power loss. Fortunately, we did not see a hurricane in our area, but this unit provided continuous uninterrupted power for my video camera while shooting on location and for my laptop when I was unable to connect to the house electricity. It will become a part of my safety equipment during my long distance drives.

Brand New Never Used Now a Dud

Bought this because we do craft shows and it was easier than paying for an electrical hookup. Charged it up the first night, haven't needed to use it since I bought it 2 months ago.It was also sealed in a water tight container. Went to double check on the unit to see if it still had a charge, and the unit had no charge. Plugged it in to charge it up, the unit would say it's charged, then after I remove the plug, got no power from the unit. Plugged it back in again, and battery meter showed the battery was dead. I repeated the process again to charge the unit, and again the battery would be dead in less than 30 seconds. It was a mistake to buy from Westinghouse

Great design and solid material!

Upon unboxing I am rather impressed with the quality of packaging, which most of the time reflects the quality of product inside. I'm also rather impressed with the layout/design of the unit and the rigidity of the material used on it. Not only is it simply laid out and easy to understand, it is also very well arranged and has all the connecting features that anyone would need to plug in the devices that this unit can handle. The user manual is also straight to the point and easy to read and understand. I am currently waiting to test it out as I have it charging for the first time out of box plugged into an AC home outlet and can't wait to see how it performs.

good portable power station

got this unit for an extended stay camping in Yellowstone Nat'l Park. I charged it up, and started testing it at home before I left. Unit has 5 bars for the battery completely charged. I use this for my CPAP and the first 2 nights, it worked fine and the battery bars didn't move. After the third night, it was down 2 bars. After the fourth night it went down one more bar to 2 bars. On the next night, with 2 bars remaining, I went to sleep for about 2 1/2 hours and the unit was DEAD. So now I know it'll last me 4 nights using it for JUST my CPAP, and not needing to recharge it.

New purchase for a specific use.

A week or so ago we had a power outage that lasted 12 hours, not a common event in my location, Snohomish PUD in the Puget Sound region of Washington state.. but something I noticed when look at my Wi-Fi tablet during the outage... my Wi-Fi was the only one up in the neighborhood, but it was just the Wi-Fi extender on a Yeti 100 power supply... but it was just the extender... this purchase was just the right size to power the router and the wireless handset landline network.. this product should fill that gap in connections to landline and internet, a just right sized solution I hope without tying up Goal Zero Yeti generators I already have , The test will be during the next outage... will I be able to follow outage websites, news, and of course games to pass the time of during a few hours of an outage... Otherwise the design is nice, the light is of good brightness, the weight is light, and since it should be stored plugged in... and emergency power of internet seems a good use.

Filled with gas with and additive filled with provided oil. It starts and runs for about a minute. Contacted service they are sending an oil switch. I am 80 years old and not able to work on this generator. Please help

Repeated and unfortunate issues

I am now on my fourth iGen600s and it too has issues. My original iGen600s worked great for about year and I put it through about 10 full cycles. Then I go to use for the 11th time and its dead. I charge it up, it holds a charge for a couple days and then dead again. It was replaced under warranty with a refurbished iGen600s that was DOA and wouldn't take a charge. That was then replaced with a new unit which worked for about 2-3 months and then had the same issues as my original. It was replaced again with what I believe to be a new unit, but this unit has issues too and will only charge to about 80%, at which point the input wattage drops to zero, yet it still shows charging. I'm holding out hope, and currently again in the process of getting this replaced under warranty.

Not Holding A Charge

Purchased 07/06/23 for a camping trip. It performed okay. Last summer (2024) took it to Porcupine Mountains rustic campground fully charged. It would not charge any of our electronics. Tried to get it to work again this morning (04/12/25). It says it's fully charged but won't charge my phone, nor will the flash light work when unplugged from the wall. Seeking remedy for this via 2 year warranty policy before we start our next camping season!

So far so good

I haven't had this for long, but it works well out of the box. I tested recharging some things and it worked as expected. There's some mixed reviews so I am a little concerned about the longevity of the unit, but it still seems to be the best one I could find in the price range. I'm looking forward to having some additional peace of mind in the event of power outages, mainly for keeping my phone and flashlights charged.
