It cannot be counted on to work in a power outage. Ours is only 2 months old. Our power went out today. The iGen300s has been left plugged in and charging for more than the past week. When I went to use it today it displayed 100% charged. I plugged it into our fireplace fan. It displayed a 32w AC draw and lasted only 5 minutes before going completely dead. This is the 2nd time this has happened to us. I charged it again of our gas generator and it said fully charged after less than an hour. I then tried again and this time it lasted about 1 hour with only the 32w load. The display said it was half full at the time it died. It has also smelled like chemicals (like new carpet) the entire time - still does after 2 months. Bottom line, you cannot count on this unit.

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.

I own the iGen600s and iGen200s. The 200 charges my laptop fully twice. I purchased the 600 for emergency medical device power. The box was damaged when I received the package. I opened and charged. I wanted to test the 600, so I charged my laptop once, and cellphone twice. Two days later, I attempted to charge my laptop again and the unit died after charging the laptop to 40%, well short of the unit's advertised capability. I am very disappointed. Many recent reviewers have posted after I purchased and had poor experiences too.

I put it through its paces for 3 days. Powers up a windmachine fan, portable radio and 32 inch TV and charges my cell and IPAD ! I bought the 300s as I do not require much in an emergency ( 296 Wh, 300 Running Watts, and 600 Peak Watts ) but WOW ! It will power my radio or tv for days and keep my cell phone charged ! Very happy with this power station, it will be nice to have in the next power outage.

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

This 1000s unit is the real deal. I didn't expect it to perform so brilliantly but it did. I was without power for 8 days in the SW Va mountains during Helene,, and I was able to run most all of my small items with ease,, I think the only thing I haven't tried yet is my refrigerator,, but it ran a PA system with accessories and then during cleanup I plugged an electric chainsaw into it and cut up two trees with plenty of power to spare. Plus it changes up quickly (in my case the whole house generator recharged it quickly),, then I can turn it off to save propane and use this nifty little device instead. This is a winner,, bravo Westinghouse!

I purchased this product in May 2021, didn't use it until June. Initial Charge LED was at two bars, and I got it up to three bars in approx. 1.5 hrs of AC outlet charging; the LED never got up to 100% charge, nor did the DC Input charging LED light ever come on, so I didn't really know if it was charging properly. I said I wouldn't recommend to a friend, however that could change depending up their making good on their service warranty product replacement.

Just finished a 2 week tour of America and the Generator was my primary power during the trip. It was constantly in use. The unit powered fine from both the car and from the solar panel I had installed on the roof of my car. Was loving the unit. Then day 3 or 4 happened. The car outlet seems to have fail around the 3 // 4 day of continuous use. I was using the outlet to power a portable fridge and it was working like a charm for the 3 to 4 days of continuous use. Then it stopped working. Now, I can not power anything from the car outlet. However, the AC Cable adapter that came with the unit worked fine for powering the portable fridge.

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.

I bought this power station in March 22 and have only cycled it about 10 times; its now august 22. It started with supplying 100 watts for 5 hours to some LED bulbs for a art featival booth. It now only lasts about 3 hours at 69 watts of load. Im very disappointed in the performance of this power supply. I'm hoping the item is defective and can be repaired or replaced; hoping this isn't status quo. The item discription said i would receive many many more cycles than 10 or i wouldnt have bought this unit. I'm hoping at least for a satisfactory response from westinghouse on restoring this power supply to meet our needs. we are ising 107 watts and it would be great if it could last for 8 hours but maybe 5 is max but 3 hours with a 69 watt load is unacceptable.
