Small, well-designed, and quiet.

We bought this to be prepared for the winter, inspired by my neighbor testing out theirs. He went with a different brand; after doing some research we chose Westinghouse, and we are glad we did. A little extra money but MUCH more quiet than the other brand, and has enough power for our essentials.

Choke

Only used for a short time but seems to work well. 1 big problem was automatic choke was disconnected during shipping and would not start. Seems to be an easy fix and a constant problem with this unit. I searched online found many others with the same issue. I resolved the issue fairly quickly but not after being very frustrated it wouldn't start. Manufacturer should have this problem resolved.

So far, so good

Just received a few days ago and very happy so far. Charged the battery for a few hours with the included charging cord, poured the oil and fuel in and it fired right up. Let it run for a while to gently break it in and ran great with no issues. Pretty quiet for a generator, also.

All inclusive generator for big rig needs

This product checks all of the boxes. First and foremost remote start key fob. We wanted to able to start and stop the unit from inside our rig. This is also higher wattage on the inverter quiet portable generator class. This is easy to use and maintain with easily accessible hatch doors. This also has a great track record for being a product that has proven to be a quality generator over the long term. A little heavy to lift for one person, but the handles make it easy for 2 people to lift it. The collapsing handle make it easy to manuver around with good size wheels when the terrain is less than perfect.

Easy to use

We bought this to use when no power is available while camping with our trailer. Living in Arizona, we wanted to be able to run the 30-amp AC in the trailer for comfort. On our first outing, the generator stopped once and indicated an elevated CO level. It was outside, and not close to the trailer. After a cooling off period, we started it again, and had no problems. We were at 7700 feet elevation, so we will look into purchasing the high-altitude kit that is available, in case it may be useful for future outings. Overall, we are happy with the generator. An additional positive find is that it fits in the back of our pickup which has a folding cover over the truck bed. The cover is able to latch, so the compact size is great.

Great purchase!

We bought the igen4500 for our 38’ travel trailer after researching the quietest generators. Great purchase so far. It does everything we need/expect it to do (including run the AC). One of the side panels was cracked upon delivery, but we’ll be contacting Westinghouse for a replacement. No need to remove a star since it likely happened at some point during transit. The generator works great regardless.

Great Value for the price point

Have had several Westinghouse Generators , Wanted this one as its the quieter Inverter type , with cleaner power. Also this model line has been out for about 5 years so spare parts should be available for many years. Started right up after putting in oil and securing battery , Only Gripe is a little shipping Damage - but that seems like the way it is unfortunately when shipping. There Warranty support is usually pretty good resolving issues. Will primarily be using this as a home back up , my old one was a traditional open frame DF5300 - good generator but loud. would recommend !

Great product

It was a few days late on the delivery but not a big deal. Unpackaged the generator and reviewed paperwork, fill will oil, put gas in it and it started almost immediately. Runs quite and its smooth. I'm an old guy so its a little heavy for me but the pull out handle and wheels makes it fairly easy to move around. Love it so far..

Great Generator

The acknowledgment of my order was near immediate. The generator was shipped the next day and stated it would arrive on Thursday, 6 days from across the country. It arrived as stated! The package was not very damaged at all and the generator was not damaged a bit. Took it out of the box, a bit heavy, read the instructions, filled with oil (bottle contained exact amount), put a bit of gas in it and within a few start attempts it started. Perfect! Let it run for 5 minutes to warm up and attached a 12 amp shop vac and it performed exactly as expected. I really like the digital read outs. Can't wait to go camping with it!

Quiet

I bought this generator to run our horse trailer when we go to my sons rodeos. It’s super quiet and easy to haul in our trailer. I bought it thinking it would be easy for my wife and son could unload it and use if there was ever a time I couldn’t be there. This generator meets all my expectations!!!
