like them

my son purchased this for me and I am so excited and happy as I will no longer have to be worried when there is a power outage so easy to start !! Used to have one that had a pull rope, but couldn't use this any longer as I don't have the strength.

Quiet!

We just got this for our travel trailer. It is very uiet compared to others. We tested it different ways and everything worked great! The remote on/off was a little hit and miss, don't know if you need to point it a certain way or was just too new. Does work, though.

Perfect RV Power Unit!

I was totally shocked that the iGen4500DF truly rose to the occasion when I took it out onto the road and deep into the wilderness with zero access to AC power. It performed exactly as if I was plugged in at an rv park, powering up my air condioner in 100° heat. Only used 50% of it's capacity with the air running and all my gadgets charging at once! Microwave seemed to heat my food up hotter and faster which surprised me even more. The level of sophistication of this smart genarator when it comes to the key fob electric start, and its monitoring display essentially letting you know everything that is going on with your unit while in operation is top notch. It annihilates any and all dummy gensets including my freakishly loud Coleman Powermate. The eco setting keeps it quiet and almost as peaceful as the super pricey Hondas. Hoping for many high powered camping days ahead! Might take forever to be delivered but it's worth the wait...

Great First Trial!

We had been talking about purchasing this generator, when we had a power outage where we live for a couple days. We purchased the generator for our camper and lived in it during the outage. It did fantastic. We will now mount in our RV and take it on the road to various campgrounds and parks and conveniently always have power. Glad we got it broke in and it ran quietly and sufficiently! Definitely recommend.

Needed a quite powerful generator

This generator is definitely as quite as they say. We can talk over it without yelling and is not distracting in a camp ground. Setup was simple enough (even though the quick start guide seems to be for a different generator so watch out for that). Great generator!

Very nice generator, love the remote start

I have recently purchased a Westinghouse iGen 5000. It was delayed a couple times in shipping by Fedex, but still came in about a week. Unpacked it, put oil in, connected propane started on second pull. Put gas in, again started in a couple pulls, electric start worked also, no problems. It handles our 30 amp rv very well. Noise-wise, with a 15000 btu air on it is less than half as loud as our push lawnmower, standing right beside the generator, the neighbor's push mower across the street was very easily heard over the generator. Overall, I like this product and would recommend it to anyone interested in this size generator. Only feature that might be nice is a manual fuel gauge, to see fuel level before starting it.

Quality Build!

Bought this for house emergency and for camping. I've only tested it so far but it was very easy to set up and get started, it looks solidly built with good materials. It has many great features plus it'll run on gas or propane, has a digital fuel gauge and load meter, and even electric start. Can't wait to go camping.

Quality Build

The item was delivered in excellent condition. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet but I'm certain it will deliver everything it's rated for and what I need. Do not forget to read the owners manual, as operating as altitudes above 2,000 feet require different regulators and fuel jets. Good product!

AS I ORDERED

BOUGHT IN ANTICIPATION OF MULTI-DAY POWER OUTAGE. Will run household uses except A/C. Installed casters in place of front feet plus a PVC push-handle; made a dolly to carry two propane tanks and shore-power cords to let me set it up well outside off the garage, allows connection to household once utility breaker is OFFed. Unboxed and first-run within an hour. Installed a lock-down chain to avoid theft

Compact and mighty quiet!

We have finally decided after several years of losing power during the many hurricanes we get in Central Florida to purchase a generator to save our food in the fridge, charge and use small electronics, kitchen appliances and have some fans to help keep us cooler. We haven't had a hurricane or loss of power to really test how well this inverter generator will perform. Really like the option to use proprane or ethanol-free gasoline to power this generator. It was quickly delivered after ordering, did a trial start-up with both fuel options, tried the remote, the pull and the push start, all worked great! It is MUCH more quiet than all of our neighbors standard generators. The wheels and handle make it easy and convenient to move the generator where we need it, it is heavy! We hope to have it for many years and never have to use but if we need it, we are looking forward to using this much quieter, portable option!
