Purchased for emergency power and to use with ham radio equipment and am happy to report no RF hash. Easy to prep and start and the noise level is quite acceptable.
Purchased 2 IGen2200 for my RV trailer. This is my first generator so don't have much to compare them with but overall i'm happy with them. Under minimal load they are very quiet. I reached out to WH to track down the appropriate parallel kit for 30amp connection. WH needs to update it's manual. The manual that shipped with the generator doesn't show or include any instructions on appropriate use of parallel use.
After receiving and unpacking my iGen2200 I followed all the instructions for starting the unit. I added the supplied oil, then added the proper gas and used the starting procedure as per the instructions. The unit will not run for more than 2 seconds and then shuts down. After the unit shuts down it will not run at all after multiple pulls on the recoil handle. I have contacted Westinghouse's Service Dept and received a case number for the unit. I may upgrade this rating If I get satisfactory results from the case that is opened for this unit. Until then, the unit will not run and is useless as is.
