Ratings & Reviews for Westinghouse iGen1500c Recoil Start 1500 Starting / 1000 Running Watt Gasoline Single Fuel Inverter Generator

Lightweight and easy portable. I am 88

Put in oil and gas 1 pull and it started right up and runs smoothly

Portable generator

Seems ok so far. Hopefully it will be a good one.

light weight / easy start

Very light to pick up and carry, Easy setup, oil supplied with unit . Start pull very easy and fires first pull. ECO throttles up when larger load is applied. Satisfied so far .

Looks good

Just got this. It fits my needs. Not too heavy and well laid out

Great product

This thing is sweet! Fired it up first try and it’s actually pretty quiet I’m impressed

Exactly what we needed.

We travel for trade shows and this will be used for fans lighting TVs and air conditioning.

Good Generator

I purchased this generator a few years ago. I just now needed to run it and use it. It seems to operate perfectly. It was able to run everything I needed!

Easy oil fill and change

Just got it put oil in it and gas and fired right up. Looking forward to lighting up my cabin.

Good, except runtime is shorter than advertised.

Seems to work well, but runtime on a full tank is shorter than the 9 hours that were advertised.

Awesome!

Just as expected! It is small and light weight. It’s quote and exactly what we needed to charge our solar inverter.

Run Tough

This my 2nd Westinghouse Generator love them i use the for my Competition Cook Off one for my RV and this one will power my Pellet Smokers

great features, portable and light weight

I bought this months ago and very happy with it, great features, portable and light weight

Lightweight and Quiet

Just received today. Very lightweight and compact. I am pleased that it is very quiet. Appears to be good quality. The price is right. Fired right up. So far so good. Time will tell but looks impressive so far.

Manufactured one year ago

Have not used yet but very nicely packaged, easy to set-up. Perfect size to store until needed to save food in refrigerator and freezer in the event of power outage. Adding this review before use to receive my free cover. Hoping for the best. Holding off on 5th star until I use the generator.

Great small generater

I bought this iGen1500C inverter generator on 11/11/2025 and received it today. I took it out of the box , added the oil and it started the fourth pull. It is really quiet and that is what I wanted for running it at night as to not keep people awake. It is a small generator so it works fine for running a small amount of devices. A few lights and phone charging etc. I am very pleased with it.

Simple, Convenient

Small inverter-generator for the house or to toss in the truck for outdoor events. Simple to use.

Easy to use

I needed a generator for occasional job site lighting. Easily set it up and was running within minutes.

Started On First Pull

received generator today, put in oil and gas, set choke, opened gas vent, pulled recoil once and bingo, impressive. ran it for a bit. that's all i know so far. quiet enough.

Outstanding!

Bought this during the spring as a backup power source for my boat. It has recharged my batteries on several occasions, run things like shop vacs and power tools- and even a smaller sized microwave. Super reliable, quiet and very portable. Well designed and put together. I don't regret the purchase at all!

Excellent Engineering By All Appearances

Easy set up and startup. Small and compact. Excellent engineering by all appearances, but not used during power outage yet. Improvement tip: provide a place for oil funnell to be stored with the unit.
