Quiet amazing

so I'm not going to lie when I first bought the unit I was super mad because it was leaking gas. I got my mechanic skills going and notices the carburetor valve was not tight so I turned it and not the generator is working like a champ. Can't wait to see what this bad boy has in it.

Very quiet Generator!!!

We purchased 2 of these igen4500 generators and run them thru the tests. Everything works as advertised. Most generators with this power are usually so heavy one man can't pick it up but not the case with the igen4500. Reasonably priced for all the features it offers and extremely quiet. We were concerned about using it in the National Parks but it is within their guidelines. Love it!!!! Hate to say this but Honda will have to take the backseat.

DON'T PANIC

Right out of the box I knew I was in trouble, my 4500 flooded with fuel and the auto choke was not working, could not start unless I used Manual choke. I sent this issue into the tec boys at Westinghouse and they really came thru. They sent me a e-mail that explained some time the wiring gets disconnected from the back of the starter housing "motherboard". It did take some dis-assambley to reach it but once reconnected the unit roared to life, can't wait to us it in the field. Thanks again TEC guys. Mike W.

Great unit

I bought this for our 5th wheel RV and it is exceptional. Has no problem powering our ac fridge tv and small appliances. The unit was easy to unpack set up and it started on the very first attempt. I’m looking forward to many hour of camping enjoyment with this generator

Great Features!

We bought this for our camping trip. We love it! It works great for our 39 ft fifth wheel. We are camping in a location with no electric and it powers the A/C. We love the remote control, great feature.The only negative we have so far, are scratches on exterior. It is scratched all over and that is with the cover on it that we purchased to prevent marks. For the price range, this should not have scratched this easily. This is why I did not rate it 5 stars.

Features great

When first recieved it started right up, but as in other reviews the electric choke stuck making it not start. Called service and Mike was great, but did not lead me to that path. I took a part and worked the choke by hand to get it to start and then worked it several times to get it loosened up. Since then it has started every time. I hope the lasting realiablity is there with this unit. Westinghouse should listen to reviews and make sure of tolarences so customers do not have to work on unit to get to start everytime.

Super quite

Love how powerful yet quite this generator is. And at a fraction of the cost compared to a Honda counterpart. Very pleased with this purchase! The wheels and handle make it easy to transport and fits in the bed of my truck even with the hard trifold tonneau cover. Remote start is very convenient for the chilly mornings when you need to get the coffee pot started but don’t want to step outside yet. Five stars!

Perfect Size and Very Quiet

I bought this as a replacement for another generator that was stolen. The other one was so loud I almost hated to use it since it disturbed other campers. This unit is extremely quiet. I have not used it with my RV yet, but look forward to being able to use it without disturbing everyone else.

IGen 4500.

Just bought the IGen 4500 generator and very happy so far. Packaging was good. Instructions for start up was good. Nice to have the funnel and oil to add right away. Battery was a bit weak but managed to start it after three attempts. Nice charger supplied for the battery. Pretty darn quiet. I'm looking forward to powering up my camper for bow season in Wisconsin this next week.

Absolutely can’t beat this generator

Bought the igen 4500 for my RV and couldn’t be happier. It’s extremely quiet and powerful and will easily power my 15000btu a/c and microwave at the same time. It comes with tools, oil and funnel to get you started, unlike a Honda that comes with nothing. It’s also way less money and has a very high rating on most websites. If your like me and don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for a name, try this Westinghouse. Pretty sure you’ll love it.
