hoping the second time is the charm

This is my second purchase of this generator. I do hope this one works. The first one quit after 15hrs of use. It would run but go into overload after 3hrs and would take about an 1 hr for it to cool back down and could run it again for 3 hrs then a shut down and throw the overload light on. I was running my camper at the time and only using 25% load. It seemed like an issue with the inverter control module. I know at times there are un for seen issues that can happen in manufacturing so I'm trying the same model again.

Really Impressed with the iGen8200TFc!!!

After reading numerous positive reviews on the Westinghouse generators, I purchased the iGen8200TFc to connect to my house for future power outages. I unboxed everything, filled the unit with oil, connected the battery, hooked it up to a propane tank and this unit fired right up and ran perfectly. Also, can't believe how quiet it is. I'll run it strictly on propane or natural gas. Really impressed with this unit from the get-go. It has a lot of nice features. I checked voltages at all of the receptacles with the unit running and the gen was putting out and a solid 122VAC and 245VAC on my multimeter. I like the telescoping handle; it stows out of the way. The unit wasn't too heavy to move thru the yard, plus I really like having the tri-fuel option. I'll be ready for the next power outage!

Powerful, Reliable, and Easy to use

Great generator with plenty of power for RV use and home backup. Setup was straightforward, and the tri-fuel capability is a huge advantage. It runs smoothly, starts easily, and gives me peace of mind during power outages. Very satisfied with this purchase.

i8200 tri fuel

Got this generator to replace a Generac. What a difference. Plenty of power running a 3-ton ac unit and refrigerator and all TVs and lights. I got a second one today and order parallel cables so I can run oven and downstairs AC and pool pump GREAT product

Awesome unit

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.

OK so far

I have completed the break-in period, and the generator is OK so far. It went to zero output on me a few times during the first couple hours of break-in and I'm guessing it may have been due to overload on the 20A output, though I never saw the Overload LED light up. I did not have any shutdowns once I started using the 30A output receptacle. I have not yet tried the 240V output, but I will be.

Breaking in

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.

Praying this is the one!

I just recieved my generator. It is refurbished. It did not come with all the extras, such as oil, and the oil spout. The repackaging was adequate as the unit was not damaged as far as I can see. Could have cleaned it up a little more. I would like to know the problems it had and why it was refurbished. I haven't used it yet. I will come back after this weekend and give a more detailed review.

Super Quiet!

Love this generator! Super quiet and very smooth power. Replaced an old noisy unit that was not an inverter generator. Now I can stop worrying about sensitive electronics while on emergency power. Highly recommend!
