So Far...So Good

Purchased for our camper after reading lots of comparisons and reviews. Arrived today via UPS. No problems when unpacking. Followed the instructions, connected the battery, added oil and gas, then it fired right up after a few cranks. Let it warm up and then used a 1500W heat gun and flood light to give it a load -- no problems. My only issue was the instructions said add the entire container of oil (0.63qt)...I did and when I pulled the funnel out, about 0.03qt of oil spilled out and I notice the label on the generator said it holds 0.60qt. If that's the only problem, I'll take that!

Like it so far.

Have ran it two hours,with no problems. Hooked up the battery, added oil and gas. Hit the start button and it fired right up. Battery charge input socket was very loose, so removed the front panel and tightened the jam nut. Easy fix. Impressed with all the features for the price. If not for the charging port I would have given five stars. Happy with my purchase so far, would buy again.

GREAT GENERATOR

came via drop shipping as scheduled without damage. Easy to unbox and assemble. Remote start works great and is very convenient. Produces plenty of power and doesn’t bog down with high surge loads. Gas shutoff is easy to access. Included instructions were clear on how to convert the generator to a floating neutral

Great Decision

Just received and very happy so far. Started right up after adding fuel and supplied oil. A little louder than I had hoped but I probably expected too much from a generator of this size. I would compare volume to a neighbor mowing their lawn, noticeable but you can still hold a conversation near it.

Great All around iGen5000C Generator

I have Big Camper that’s 50amp. When downsizing my camping trips I recently bought a tent. Needed a quiet generator for our National Forest, but also this model is quiet (52db) enough, but you can parallel another compatible generator and still run my large 50 amp camper. The iGen5000C Is quite enough to run with my small tenting needs but also my Big camper. When I’m out away from camping or tenting, the remote control comes in handy for my wife to run when I’m not there. Also, the computer display comes in handy when it’s about getting dark and whatever load that you put on at that particular time, it will tell you the range running time for that amount of gas and load you have! The display also shows our meter for servicing, and the left side has a bar graph of level of gas. She was in the house a few minutes ago. Wife and I are Happier Campers :)

Outstanding Quite Generator

I purchased this inverter generator to supplement my red 2000i inverter because it just doesn't have the muscle we needed as full-time RV'ers. I am happily surprised by this generator. It is just as quiet as my previous inverter and has more than twice the starting power. I followed the Quick Start Guide to the letter and it was easy, no issues, and the iGen4500 ran on the very first try with the remote fob in less than 10 minutes from unboxing. I completed the 20-hour oil change and it had only minor signs of metal or debris in the oil. I have not had it loaded past 40% but when connected, my multimeter indicates a stable 121 VAC and the engine seems to get less loud the more it runs. I really love the remote start and the value of this unit is excellent. It arrived in perfect condition and is exactly what I expected based on my research. This is not a small generator. It is easily over 115 pounds with fuel in the tank, so understand your limits in this regard. The collapsible handle and wheels make rolling it into place an easy task. The size of this inverter makes lifting it into the bumper mounted tray a task for two normal folks or one very strong person. It will easily start my 13.5K air conditioner and run normal items such as the battery charger/converter, the coffee pot or even our air fryer, but everything has a limit and you should still be careful loading this genset at a safe level in it's recommended range.

Quiet and compact

Just arrived today. Straight forward start up instructions with adding oil and gasoline. Some confusion on the sticker about the on/off switch. Would not start manually or initially with electric start. Discovered it worked fine when the engine panel removed. Tried 3 times reattaching the panel cover with same results. Will talk to technical support when they are available.

After reading some reviews I was a little worried

After reading some reviews apparently mine was finished on a Wednesday I have had no issues started up first time with a remote ,push button ,and pull start. I had a friend that had the same one absolutely loves it .That’s why I purchase this one ,so far so good very happy with its performance at our off grid property in the wood.It’s super quiet and ran it Friday,Saturday,& Sunday at the camp and burned 6.5 Gallons 2 campers just necessities no A/C unit this weekend was cool ,but I did run the air just to test it’s operation and it handled it no problem.Digital information is awesome and gives instant feedback once a load changes, Fuel economy, run hours at that load.

The telescoping handle is ideal for moving it.

This is the first generator we've purchased for camping. The features exceed other brands. Set up and startup were easy and it was extremely quiet. Owner maintenance seems relatively simple and we are confident this will charge our camper batteries as well as run our AC and lights.

Great looking Generator

I just received my new iGen4500. It looks like a well put together piece of machinery. They have included the oil, funnel,spark plug tool, and a understandable instruction book. I have not yet had the chance to use it. I never thought I would be looking forward to the next storm that takes out our electric power. I'm sure that this Westinghouse iGen4500 will more then meet my expectations. Thank you Westinghouse.
