EXCELENT! STARTED & RAN PERFECT

iGEN4500D/F delivery a day early, Easy assembly: add oil & gas, connect battery lead. ran for 4 hours, then tested under load & ,voltage was consistent. switched over to propane ,was smooth with some hesitation to be expected ,low idle was not as smooth but acceptable. operated well under load. I was not able to connect to my RV it is in storage. but operated under load for an hour from 1500- 3150 watts. I also want to note this is the 04511REV01 . does not have carb/choke issues as previous one have had. I will do a follow up after I test on my RV !!

Happy Consumer

I bought this product to have a reliable back up electrical source for my home. I followed the instructions to get it up and going. It started right up and now I know the the freezers are secure and the heat system will keep our house from freeze damage.

Powerpusher

Great all around generator.Bought this a month ago, it has been work out well. Use it to top batteries off at night if solar didn't capture enough during the day. It is quiet, quick remote starts and fuel efficient. Run it on mainly propane as this seem to contaminate the oil less. Maximum power draw on my unit with everything going 2300 watts. So this unit has no problem keep up. Average draw is 600 watts. So far I really like this gen. Pull start easy as well. Time will tell how durable it is

Great Generator

I've only run it on propane so far, but it starts right up, runs relatively quiet, and adapts to loads quickly with little hesitation. Very happy with it after having researched generators for many hours. Light enough to take camping with the RV trailer, and can be paralleled to run a 240volt 30amp transfer switch at home. Only feature I wish it had were adjustments for altitude. I don't have the high altitude kit yet, but I imagine putting it in every time we camp at elevation, then taking it out at home, will get old quickly.

Well Designed

I've been very pleased with my purchase. I've run it on both gas and propane with no problems. Well-thought out design and plenty of features, easy to move around with the wheels and handle. I like the digital readout, and being able to charge up the battery using the supplied charger.

Overall review

I bought this unit last year and unpacked it but didn’t get to run it because of traveling and other issues. I did test it and ran it on propane gas and connected it to my rv and it worked great for the hour that I ran it. I also ran it a second time for approximately the same time and the unit did well and shows only 30% load so I felt satisfied and have waited to use it on a real trip and use it for longer period of time, but up till now it is a super quiet unit and shows it will handle the load that I need.

Excellent features, very quiet and great value!

I bought this unit recently and have been impressed. It's much quieter than I expected and has worked out really well. The unit has all the features I need. I'm using this as a back generator for my home. However, I have found it easy to pull around and use around my property as well. It weighs 98 lbs so it's not one you're just going to carry around but the pull out handle and wheels make it easy.

Just what we needed

Product arrived damage free. Quick start instructions were clear and easy to follow. Set the device up on propane and had it up and running in a short time. I can’t believe how quiet this generator is, you can stand beside and talk … at normal levels …. Amazing. Lots of info available via the Digital display concerning, fuel levels, operating info and output info as well. We had actually made this decision on this generator last year but they were out of stock, so we decided to wait.....So Glad we Did. Absolutely a Great purchase. Always true with Westinghouse products.

Works just as expected

Easy to set up, no assembly. Only need to add the oil they give you and plug in the battery that’s also included. I’m running it on propane to use for camping and it’s decently quiet just slightly louder than the more expensive Hondas. Runs an electric cooktop easily. I feel like the pull handle should be made of metal and possibly the wheels made a little larger to be better at going up and down steps, but it works as intended!

Choke problems

I did not use for two months and when I did It started hard and smelled of gas after a short time of running had a puddle under it. Westinghouse offered to send new carburetor and gave me a name of a shop. I have not had time to get it fixed yet. When running it’s quite powers my tools.
