Easy Start - Great running

Started my Westinghouse - iGen2200 today. First time and it started on the first pull. Much quieter that my father-in-laws older model. I ran our 10amp high speed blower fan, and connected up our 60in HD TV. Ran it for over 15 minutes. Didn’t show any signs of running hard. Can’t wait to use it camping next weekend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Took a chance on this and boy am I impressed. Own a few inverter generator and this one is great. Add oil that was included then gas and 2nd pull....presto it hasn't stopped running yet. Great product, low db. Great fuel economy. Should of bought this Westinghouse i Genn 2200 sooner.

powerful for its size

Purchased in Aug 2020; did some short load tests but haven't used it in an actual emergency yet. Only 46 pounds, easy to carry with one hand. The upgraded outlet covers are a nice touch. We originally thought we would need an iGen4200 or two iGen2200s in parallel to power what we need, but after this short test we think a single iGen2200 is powerful enough.
It is indeed a quiet generator, but not nearly as quiet as the advertising would like you to believe. The nice thing about efficiency mode on an inverter generator is that it only runs the engine as much as it needs to power your devices. So when it is just idling with nothing attached, it is very quiet (still not 52dB even at idle, but quiet anyway). If you plug in a few cellphones or an LED lamp, it stays just as quiet. But as soon as you add a refrigerator or a sump pump or other appliance, it starts roaring like an airplane taking off. The maximum sound is still quieter than other generators, and it only stays loud as long as it needs to produce that much power, but you should know that you're not going to get 52dB in normal household usage.

Just purchased my new iGen2200 Inverter and tried it out....started on the first pull. Compared it to my other gasoline generator and it was so much quieter.
I would recommend this to a friend!
