Works like it's supposed too

I RESEARCHED GENERATORS FOR TWO WEEKS AND THIS GENERATOR MET ALL MY NEEDS AND THEN SOME. THE TRI FUEL IS A BIG PLUS. IT ENABLES YOU TO TEST WITHOUT ADDING GAS WHICH WILL SIT THERE UNTIL THE NEXT HURRICANE COMES OR HAVE TO BE DRAINED. THE HANDLE DESIGN IS GENIUS. THE OVERALL WEIGHT WAS IMPORTANT. ON AVERAGE 100 LBS. LIGHTER THAN IT ENABLES MY WIFE TO MANEUVER THE GENERATOR. AND IT'S QUIET.

So far, so good. It was easy to set up and ran perfectly. Haven't had to really put it to the test yet and won't until we lose power to the house. But I was impressed with what came in the box with it. Everything, including oil, and LPG connector hose (if needed). Manual very easy to read with visuals and the machine itself is well marked. A electric battery charger included! Battery is easy to access and is easily replaceable with market models.

Bought this unit to replace a VERY noisy open frame unit. This is used in a business and must be quiet, and the Westinghouse is for sure. The Igen8200 is very quiet and has the power we need. It also has a lot of features like remote start and 50amp connection. It's a clear winner for us.

I bought this generator after deliberating long and hard. It was a tough purchase because it is a lot of money for something just used in the event of a hurricane. That said, so far I am pretty impressed, but there are a couple of items that should be brought up. The generator is built quite nice. It is definitely VERY heavy, but I feel like there was some thought and effort on the product. I like the covers on each side and how they latch. I really like how the oil drain was connected to a hose, as well as the carb gas drain (the gas drain was particularly nice). I really like all of the information provided on the panel, including the fuel level which is really nice. Some of the things that were disappointing considering the positives: 1. There is an oil filter on this unit. It is in the exact same place as the DFc model however there is some sort of big cylinder directly in the way in front of it. I am not sure what this is, but the DFc doesn't seem to have it from the videos I have seen, so I assume it has to do with the Natural Gas part of the unit. It is a little bit of a pain to remove as it requires a 10mm wrench and has limited movement. On such a well thought out generator, this seems to be a rushed item and makes the access to the filter a bit inconvenient. 2. This generator wasn't cheap but came with quite a bit of stuff. The one thing that it didn't come with that I was disappointed about was a cover. This was a HUGE miss. I plan on storing this in my garage and I am going to have to buy my own cover now. 3. It would be nice if the dipstick was magnetic to help keep the engine oil as clean as possible 4. The eco mode barely changes the idle speed at all (it may not even change it at all). I don't know what this switch does at this point as I expected a serious reduction in RPMs to help save gas (I was testing this with no load at all). It seems to be a very good generator. I just finished my 5 hour break-in period and changed the oil. Despite the disappointments above, I am hoping that overall it will prove itself to be a great unit.

While we have not had to use this yet, it started right up on the trial run. It runs pretty quietly and is compact and relatively easy to move. Did not give 5 stars as this was the 2nd one we ordered that came with bent axels and broken plastic on the wheels. Needs better packing!

Just bought it and it starts fine on gas but not propane. Propane comes out of the hose if disconnected from generator. Tried 2 different propane tanks, same result. Starts briefly with a different regulator but stops after a second. After posting this review I will be submitting a service request to see if they can help. It's a nice generator so I would recommend it (even more so after it's fixed!)

The initial setup was straightforward. I added the oil and fuel and connected the internal battery. The generator fired up immediately and I ran it for about 10 minutes. It is much quieter than I imagined it would be. I let it cool down and rolled it into my garage. I noticed a slight odor of gasoline but I figured that I may had spilled some when filling it and got it on the soles of my shoes. This morning, I go into the garage and the gasoline smell is overpowering. I don't see any puddles or drips from the generator. The fuel is fresh. If I can get this resolved, I'll edit this review or write a new one.

I bought this generator 3 months ago and am generally pleased with it. Part of the sales pitch at the time was that I would receive a free cover. That has never happened in spite of repeated requests, all of which remain ignored and unanswered by Westinghouse ! I cannot recommend doing business with this company !

I just took delivery and have read the QuickStart instructions for this inverter generator so I cannot report how the unit operates. I can however say I like the design/layout of the control panel and the aperence of ease of use. If easy, I will update this review once I have run the required break in period.
