Super easy to use and convenient. I particularly appreciated how easy this generator is to start (just 1 pull) after I did a break-in by cycling out the first supply of oil.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Quiet

Good run time, extremely quiet (felt totally comfortable letting it run all night at my campsite). Lightweight, very portable.
Only disappointment is Westinghouse included a coupon for a free cover with a register/review, but no longer have any available :-(

Pricewise -- best inverter generator on the market

Solid build yet easily portable. Straight forward directions for initial start-up, fired up on first pull. Second start still required choke, but hadn't been running long. All subsequent warm-starts, no choke required. Prepped a couple fresh bottles with 11.75 ounces (0.37 quart) of synthetic oil, for first 'break-in' oil change, and to make future oil changes less of a guessing game when filling.
A little 'wobble' of the idle in Efficiency mode (both under small load / no-load). Idles OK with Efficiency mode off. (wouldn't allow upload of video from Dropbox) I do live at 7000' in the mountains, so fuel/air mixture may be a little off. Connected to 37', 50 amp travel trailer to vary power for break in. Handles individual appliances and electronics well -- kicks in to higher idle when you try to draw 1200 watts, but settles quickly. SO quiet -- don't even mind running it late at night out in the country. Can't even hear it run when 75-100 feet away, shouldn't bother neighbors quite a ways from my 2 acre lot. Can barely hear it inside the travel trailer. Will be a great asset while boondocking.
Ordered an iGen 4500 (from another vendor) and parallel cables to power both A/Cs -- live out in Arizona, and may need both on occasion. Will do some research on getting high altitude carburetor kit(s) when my iGen 4500 comes in. Should not only smooth out the idle, but probably increase it's already amazing fuel efficiency.
My first inverter generator -- completely satisfied, even with an uneven idle, but that can be worked on. Nice not to have to lug around my 200# 9500W dinosaur generator, or my 4000W & 2000W duel fuel old-school generators -- they can hold down their spots in my garage or shed for job site power tools & emergencies. Looking forward to taking this iGen 2200 (and iGen 4500) on the road to the 'boondocks' -- and checking off those bucket list travels over the winter months.
Do not hesitate to buy any model of Westinghouse inverter generators. My only issue is I waited too long to purchase -- but did research for over a year (and waited for iGen 4500 availability), glad I did my homework. Would give 5 stars if idle was smooth, but most likely an altitude issue. Most of my travels will be out West, so probably jet the carburetor for 3-5k feet (if a kit is available). An awesome purchase.
