Quiet Genrrator

I bought the iGen5000c generator for our camper. The reason I purchased the Westinghouse because of a review from a friend. The generator handles the air conditioner and the other needs with no problem. It is a very dependable and quiet. I highly recommend it.

Nice features, but choke problem is a bummer!

I purchased for the high power rating and the remote start. Unfortunately reviews I saw talked about a choke problem. Turns out I have the issue as well. The "auto" choke function for the electric start does not work. So you have to open up the engine panel and manually choke in order to start. This defeats the purpose of a remote start. I like the quietness and hope the high power rating will run my RV A/C unit well.

Quiet & Powerful

We've done a lot of research on remote start inverter generators and this one is by far the best we've owned. Super quiet and plenty of power to run our camp (TV, coffee maker, water pump, stove blower, toaster, microwave etc). 3 year warranty is also unheard of. We've owned several Champion generators and glad we made the switch to Westinghouse igen4500!

Easy Set Up

I just received the iGen 4500 today and it was very easy to set up. Add oil, add gas, hook up battery and started with remote on first try. It's very quiet, I plugged in a belt sander and it didn't make a difference in sound. It says "auto rotating display" but it's not, you have to press a little button on display to go through the functions. I will be putting it under more load with the RV soon. Pros; Easy start, Quiet, easy to understand display Cons; Display does not auto rotate (not a big deal but it says it is).

Easy to set up and great features

I just purchased this generator and have not used it yet but Westinghouse thinks of everything including a good funnel for filling the oil. It appears to be good quality and they have made hooking up the battery even easier with just a plug in. Outstanding features. The layout of the front is not what is shown in the manual so that is something they could improve a little. Once I try it I will probably give it 5 stars.

Planning for a cold day

I bought this in case of severe weather. It has been sitting for 4 months now, just put the oil and fuel in, connected the battery and it fired right up. Not nearly as loud as I thought it was going to be. Will be starting it up monthly from now on. Maintenance instructions seem to be pretty straightforward.

Great features

Just bought this after being left in the dark for 4 nights during a storm. We live in a townhouse and needed a quieter generator and this one is perfect! Has great features and easy setup out of the box. Stores nicely in our garage. Highly recommend.

Great Unit - Love it

I purchased this unit in March 2024. We do a lot of outdoor activities, and it has more than lived up to my expectations. It has plenty of power to run all of our needs and is actually great on gas. Our most recent use, it ran 8+ hours for two days straight and I didn't refuel. I would definitely purchase again.

Great features, CA Legal, but a smidge loud

Received this a few days ago, just fired it up for the first time. Worked out of the box after adding oil, gas, and connecting the quick connect battery connection. No problems at all. Love that it has a gas gauge, as well as tells you an estimate of how many hours are left based on the gas currently in the tank. Legal in California, However for some reason Amazon would not ship to my house, but Home Depot would. Same price online at both Amazon and Home Depot, $949 plus tax. Comes with everything you need to get it running, except for gas. Couple things to keep in mind: 1) Do not just dump the full 0.6 quart container of oil in, I found it only takes about 0.5 quarts. 2) Some of the directions incorrectly say you need to hook up the negative terminal of the battery, but that is not the case, you only need to connect the quick-connect battery connector. It's super easy to get running. I find it does run a little louder than I thought it would, but with this much power it's probably the best that can be done.

Great Features

This is the second generator I purchased. I'm so glad I spent the extra money for this model. It is exactly what we were looking for. All of the features make it so easy to use. We have had it for a month now and are confident we will be ready for the next power outage.
