Easy to set up and use, quiet, powerful

I bought this for my new camper, for when I go off grid. Something big enough to power the AC when it starts, and also big enough to serve as backup power to run a couple room heaters if the power goes out. Easy to setup, easy to use, so far. Quiet. I like the eco mode for when you don't need the full output. Also, I like that it is RV ready, and I like a no-frills machine (no dual fuel, no electric remove start, so many, many fewer things to break).

Not 30 amp RV Ready

This generator stopped working after 6 uses. Westinghouse will not warranty they said they googled it and I overloaded the inverter module on the generator with my 30 amp RV 15000 BTU which is on a 15 amp breaker. I did a video and shared it with them, and on start up amps only went to 27.6 for less than a second then dropped to 10.8 amps while using a 3500 watt Briggs & Stratton generator That I normally use with my RV. I also provided them with correct info from the A/C manufacture. This is what the manufacture said (The compressor will only pull locked rotor amps if the compressor is locked up, and if that were the case the compressor would pull locked rotor amps every time it tries to start. Normally when the compressor is starting it will pull 2 to 2 ½ times what the RLA state on the data sticker for the first split second and then drop back down to the running load amps it is rated at.) This is exactly what my video showed. (Sorry I'm not able to, load my video on this review. The Specifications info on website is very misleading also no wear in manual or website does it talk about or show any information on what locked rotor amps the generator is rated for, but this is the reason they will not warranty.

Great inverter!

Bought this about a week ago and so far, really great. Starts right up, runs very quiet and has the power needed. Only issue is changing the oil could be a little less messy. Should have a funnel system going to the hole. Other than that couldn't be more pleased. Time will tell!

Definitely like how quiet

Just purchased and am impressed by how quiet it is and fuel capacity is great for overnight runs. So far I’m very impressed by the remote and electric start. Only down fall which is minute is the oil fill cap is hard to get my big hand in to restart to put back on.

Features-Features-Features

I just purchased the I gen-4500 after extensive searching for a generator for my older trailer. I had a generator that was a gift from my son. Even with 3300 starting watts, it would not run the AC by itself at all, and struggled with just the microwave if it was powering the fridge. And the noise of the motor straining was loud even being enclosed! Enough about the old!!!!!!! The I gen-4500 is exactly what I needed!!! Runs my AC, the fridge, and the microwave, all at the same time, with low low engine speed and sound. I went for power, and sound but it has so many extra features, a 30 amp plug, remote starting, slide out handle tucked away on the bottom, well balanced and smaller size, makes it easier to lift. A little heavier, but with good placement of handles, I feel very confident lifting in restricted areas. Easy initial instructions and setup, 2 pull start up and with no choke, very nice and quiet. I definitely recommend to give this baby a good look. Can't have enough power and with this size, you can't go wrong.

Modification's I made

I bought this under a year ago I run it constantly and I have suggestions for improvements to make on it such as the remote start should also have a push button for the economy mode for when I want to run the AC and it's necessary to toggle this feature I can do it remotely! I also suggest larger Wheels for better maneuverability over uneven surfaces I have actually taken stroller wheels which are about 10 inches in diameter and attach them to this generator so I can drag it through the woods effortlessly over tree branches and other obstacles

Quiet and powerful

I bought this to run our travel trailer while tail gating. It had plenty of power to run the AC (30 AMP) and many other devices. Very satisfied with the noise level and really like the indicator on time remaining based on power usage and gas amount.

Worked out of the box

Just got this and all good out of the box. Connected battery, added oil and gas and it started. BTW the oil amount and type is on the outside near the oil plug (but not in the manual). I tested it with a hair dryer and there was some hunting of rpm as the dryer cycled. Will test more later.

Looks great

Just unboxed it but it looks great. Fill it with oil provided in kit (and funnel), hooked up battery, put gas in it and it fired right up. It sounds about the same as my Yamaha iseb3000 so I'm happy with that. Remote works smooth too. I think its gonna be perfect. We will see this weekend.
