Wonderful features making use so easy!!

I bought this generator for our camping trips. I love the remote start fob and the fact it shows me how much gas has been used. It was simple to set up and use. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family. I can't wait to try it out on our TT this summer.

Runs fine out of box, easy set up

I haven't had prolonged use, but so far so good! I conditioned it with a couple of oil changes, and the unit seems great! I only rated 4 stars because I have not had a chance to use it for a prolonged period. I ran it next to my Honda 2000i and it seemed slightly more quiet than the Honda! Overall, so far, happy with the purchase.

Lots of great extras for great price

We bought this great little generator specifically to handle the 15k BTU air conditioner for travel trailer. 3k watts is to small to run air and a few other items and 7k watts is over kill and paying for power you really don't need so it fits perfectly in the middle. We can run the A/C, microwave, TV and every light at the same time with no problems. Love the remote start that you pay extra for on other models. It is very quiet and so far have had no issues with our purchase.

Extremely quiet, more quiet than a Honda

Contrary to some beliefs there is nothing wrong with this generator. Received it 26 June 2021 added oil and gas on the 27th it started right up and purred like a kitten very quiet even when not on Econ mode. Nothing wrong with the electric choke like others have said. Only thing that ticked me off was the side panel on the side where you check the oil received a crack on shipping. Westinghouse shipped me a new one the very next day after i reported it to them. The only issue will be removing the handle bolt holding the side cover on it is extremely tight used an impact and it still will not come loose i told Westinghouse someone tightened it too tight at the factory.This generator is unbelievable quiet have to hear to believe. I tested it with an electric drill on Econ mode no problem also a 500 watt work light the engine did not even speed up and the percentage meter did not even move. It should pull a 15,000 BTU RV air conditioner no problem.

Exceeded our expectations

We just purchased the iGen4500 as we camp a ton over the Summer. Got it home, pulled out of the box, followed the setup instructions and BAM it was up and running. We can power almost our whole camper with this generator and love that its super quiet and has the remote starter!! Will definitely recommend to my friends and family

Amazingly quiet

We purchased this generator as a dual purpose unit. When we travel with our travel trailer and if we lose power at home. It's perfect for our needs and will run EVERYTHING in the RV and every essential item in the house. Upon arrival, setup could not have been easier. Read the instructions, filled with oil and fuel, connected the battery and started it up. Incredibly easy and very quiet. My wife and I were able to have a normal conversation with the generator running within 20ft. A little disappointed with what appears to be rust around the gas tank opening. Brand new unit and rusty around the fuel? Not comforting. The only thing we could hope for would be a lighter unit. at 98lbs it's heavy, although easily managed with two people lifting it into my truck. It can be done solo, but having a friend is much easier. So far, we love the generator and would definitely buy it again.

Great features and quiet

I purchased a little over a month ago. It started easy the first couple of times it ran about an hour each time in between oil changes for break in. I went to actually use it on a camping trip and it would not start. So I opened the cover and like many others I found the electronic choke wire off. I Locked it into place and put covers back on and it has ran great every time since . And it is quiet.

Does the job quietly

I have been looking at a variety of different generators to power my new 5th wheel. This isn’t something I will use very often - maybe 2 or 3 times a year when boon-docking. I have had generators in the past and seldom used them do to noise levels and weight, so both were important considerations for me. I wanted something that I could carry on the back of my 5th wheel when needed (easy to load and unload) and be able to setup 50 feet away and not know it is running. While I haven’t had much time to run the new Westinghouse iGen 4500, I have to say I am impressed so far. Unboxing and setup was very straightforward. Added gas and oil, connected the battery and fired it up. I started small with the load - first a light, then a power tool until I got it up to what I thought was operating temperature. Then the big test - connected the 5th wheel in order to try the main 15k AC unit. I should note that I installed an internal EMS power protection unit on the 5th wheel and got an error code as soon as I connected the generator. Being very familiar with electricity and electronics, I immediately knew what the problem was - floating neutral. I was disappointed that the instruction manual doesn’t address this. After tying the neutral to ground (search YouTube for directions), the 5th wheel came to life. I ran the generator through a number of different power scenarios and it handled all of them very well. Noise levels were very acceptable in my opinion. I didn’t find the suitcase handle to be very user friendly. For me, it is easier to pick it up by the two handles and load it on a custom rack on the back of my 5th wheel. Overall, I am very impressed with this generator. Only time will tell for durability and dependability.

So far so good

I brought this May 29, 2022 and it arrived at my door on June 3, 2022. I got it up and running in about 15-20 minutes after reading some of the manual to understand some of the operating board. Fired right up on the first pull. Will be using it tomorrow to run a water pump for a couple hours to water 60+ trees. Hopefully all goes well.

Excellent Generator

I've only put 6 hours on my generator but it has worked flawlessly. It's a perfect fit for the generator tray on the front of my toy hauler. Packed with features and simple to operate. I will mention that, while it's very quiet in eco-mode with no load, the noise level increases considerably with a heavy load as the engine revs to meet demand.
