I'm skittish with gas and electricity, and I'm not mechanically inclined with equipment. So I was pleased to find that the instructions seemed fairly straightforward. I bought this in preparation for hurricane season to at a minimum, have power for fans at night, a small microwave and the USB ports. Thankfully, I haven't had to put it to the test yet.
I bought the iGen2200 generator 1 year ago but it was still at home because I hadn't had a need to use it. I just opened the box, followed all the instructions, oil, gas, etc before lighting. With the first attempt it is trying to turn on and it turned off in 5 seconds, then I tried a second time and from then on it does not turn on. It is probably something simple so I do not want to leave a bad review for now. I contacted Westinghouse and they told me to register the warranty and call them again. I hope to solve the problem and if the generator works well I will do a good review and give the comments
I'm 64 and just filled this baby with oil and gas and did the pre-run as per the instructions (which were spot on btw). I added fuel stabilizer to my gas can so I am ready to go if I loose electricity. I feel so much better knowing I have this back up generator.
