ADDED OIL AND GAS STARTED RIGHT UP. RAN 1500 WATT ELECTRIC HEATER, DID NO REV UP ABOVE IDLE. HAVE A HONDA EU2000. RUNS AT FULL SPEED WITH THIS HEATER. IS VERY QUIET, WAS HAPPY. WILL SEE HOW IT WORKS THE A/C ON CAMPER IN SPRING. SEEMS THAT IT WILL HAVE PLENTY OF JUICE FOR MY R/V

Just a few days after receiving the iGen5000c, our power went out. Jumping ahead, the unit started right up, worked flawlessly, and was blessedly quiet (our old generator sounded like a truck using compression brakes). However, the preparation was not free of annoyances. Dutifully adhering to the Quick Start Guide > Before Starting instructions, I attempted to "Remove the engine service cover to access the oil dipstick." After spending quite a while trying to get the cover off (and failing), I discovered the small oil dipstick access panel on the other side of the generator. How did Westinghouse make such an obvious mistake in the documentation? Anyway, I used the provided funnel to fill the oil through the dipstick hole. I observed the "Do not overfill" caution, which I now interpret to mean "keep pouring in the oil until you start to wonder if it's too much. Then unscrew the funnel. If oil doesn't gush out of the dipstick hole, reinsert the funnel and pour some more in. Otherwise, stop filling and wipe up the mess." The Quick Start Guide omitted any mention of attaching the battery cable; that useful advice was found on a little yellow tag. I struggled to attach the battery cable, because the clip was way too tight. I doubt I'll be able to detach the wires without pliers (or wire clippers). When we lost our power in a windstorm, I filled the gas and started the generator. It fired right up, and worked perfectly. Hopefully it will continue to do so...

I just purchased this generator as a replacement for my old Boliy. There is no comparison performance or feature wise between the Igen4500 and my old generator. The Igen4500 handles our trailer power requirements with ease unlike our old one. Features like the digital display and remote start being standard make using this generator a pleasure. The operating sound level under all loads is far quieter than any of our past "quiet" generators. Well worth the money!

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.

I bought my 4500 inverter last November. Pretty happy with it so far. I wish I would have bought the inverter that would accept gas or gas. My sourness towards Westinghouse is the cover they give you if you fill in a feedback request. Which I did. And, if you did fill this out they would give you a cover for your generator for FREE! The problem is, it doesn’t fit over your generator. They say it’s “ snug”! It doesn’t fit! They will send you a link of where to buy one that does fit…. How funny is that? Not a big deal for me! I just hate the false promises.

I can't say enough good about this generator. It looks good, runs quiet, has great features, and starts when I need it. Battery start with remote is super cool!! Provides enough power to cover my necessary circuits without breaking the bank. A little heavy, but not more than an adult can manage and the built in handle and wheeled help a lot. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I removed it from the box, connected the battery, installed the supplied oil, filled the gas tank, turned on the fuel, turned on the battery, pressed the start button and immediately it purred to life. I connected my heat gun and it worked. My only disappointment is that the digital read out is in metric liters and kilowatts. I did a google search and found charts to convert them (see attached).

New purchase and just received. Well packaged and no issues to date. After reading the user manual I ordered and just received the high altitude kit(s), one for the regulator and second for the carburetor. Changing out the regulator nozzle is a simple procedure while the carburetor jet will be a little more work, just haven't had time to install it yet. But judging by the available online video it's a very straight forward procedure and I'm not anticipating any issues. All is going well so far.

I use my generator to camp while horseback riding. I prevationally purchased an i 2500 to use while horseback camping, but at the time I did not have a living quarter horse trailer with an AC. Now that I do have the living quarter horse trailer I decided to purchase the IGen4500 C. This generator is packed with so many useful bells and whistles on it that the leading generator used for RVs does not have. I love the power start, and the remote start will keep me from going out in the cold or rain to fire up my generator when I need it. This generator runs as quiet as my 2500 Westinghouse, which is music to your ears when you’re camping and several people are using generators at the same time. The pull handle makes it useful to get it where I need to move it, to get it out of my horse trailer down the ramp and where I plan on running it. The large capacity fuel tank will allow it to run up to 18 hours or more depending on what I have plugged into it at that time. The digital display gives the approximate hours of run time on that tank of fuel, what the current load rate is, and how much fuel remains. I love that it has the 30 amp RV plug on it. The two carry handles on top make it easy enough for a friend and me to carry it together when I have to lift it up. It comes with wheels, so no added expense to buy a wheel kit. It has an automatic choke so we don’t have to worry about choking it before you start it. And best of all it fired up the very first time with one push of the on and off button right out of the box. And I saved about $2000 compared to the leading brand. I hope this review will help you to make up your mind on your next generator purchased as well.

I purchased 2 of these and so far have ran for 25 hours with no issues. they run great in parallel and are quieter than my last Champions. oil change access panel could be a little bigger or this might be 5 stars. That is my only compliant, love the fact they hold 3.5 gallons of fuel for run time.
