Would Not RecommendI purchased 1 unit in February 2026. Bought a backup in March 2026. Both units have failed, and Lowes would not help, and the manufacturer was not helpful. I'm out $1100. for 2 units, both made in Sep 25. I would not purchase

worked great....until it didn't
Would Not Recommendbought this generator to run my camper, when we got it we assembled it, added the oil, gave it a little gas(i only run non-ethanol) it ran great. never got to actually use it until late September, worked great for my camper on a 9 day camping trip, brought it home...used it 2 or 3 times to charge batteries on my antique tractors that are out of extension cord range. stored it for the winter, went to prep for a camping trip and it will not stay running once power is demanded....shuts right off......

Excellent quality, quiet, perfect for camping!
Would RecommendPurchased this Westinghouse iGen2800 DFc dual fuel inverter generator thru Lowes.com. Went with Westinghouse because I also have a whole-house Westinghouse dual fuel generator, so I knew of the high quality of these products. After putting in the required oil, this unit started on the first pull! All features appear to be operating properly. Love the fuel gage (gasoline) & the digital running time estimate. It's also SUPER QUIET. It will be a great addition for our travel trailer when camping a...
Excellent quality, quiet, perfect for camping!
Would RecommendDisappointed
Would Not RecommendBought end of January 2026. Worked fine for 1 week. Started turning off between 1 to 10 minutes. Oil light came one most of the time then off. Checked oil level, was fine. Only a week in and lots of issues. After messing with it for 2 weeks, put it in storage for couple months. Got it out again, did oil change. Now it starts and runs for 5 to 10 minutes, then turns off. I can start it again and it stays running. One time this week I checked it while it was running and the display showed F...

Great value for the cost
Would RecommendWe have used it now for a couple weeks. It runs smoothly, a tad noisy but overall pretty efficient. We are not dissatisfied!

4 stars
Would RecommendI just unboxed the unit, added oil and gas and it fired right up. Only slight issue so far is that one of the side cover plates is bowed out a little bit. Looks like one of the plastic pins is not catching it's female counterpart inside the machine. Other than that minor issue, it looks good and runs goods.

FIRED RIGHT UP!
Fired up on the first pull and works. Seems like a well-engineered generator.

Seems good
Received as a gift. After filling with oil & gas, it started on about the 7th pull, I expect that to get less after break-in. It's light enough to be easily carried to it's needed location. Can't speak to reliability or actual preformance as it's new.

It's a lot of "bang for the buck".
Would RecommendI must've watched about 100 reviews on various generators and this one got my attention. Withe Lowe's Veteran discount, I ended up getting for a great price ($449). I wanted an inverter generator because I wanted to be able to charge a 2400 watt Anker power station without damaging the sensitive electronics inside of it. I also wanted enough watts to power the basics during a power outage. I honestly didn't;think think that a huge generator was necessary because living in a populated area, we'...

I think it will be perfect for me.
Would RecommendI just received this generator. Like the looks of it. Will start it up soon.

Maybe it's good? Who knows?
I purchased this yesterday and haven't used it yet. Asking me to do a review immediately for the bonus promised as a gift for registering it is a bit odd. The insert with the generator doesn't say anything about that, so also a bit misleading.
