Very pleased on purchase

After tons of Research I choose the IGEN4500. RV ready, remote start, low Decible level rating and display that shows real time information. Out of the box it fired right up. Big enough to run trailer yet small enough to still lift and move around. Retractable handle is awesome and stores out of the way. Really impressed so far.

Still Evaluating

The quick start guide is in error in the very first step. No need to take the access cover off to add oil. There is a dedicated access cover for oil. An oil fill funnel is provided, which is nice, but the spout is so small, it is a challenge to add oil w/o spilling. Maybe a slightly longer hose on the funnel would be better so it could be bent to more of a vertical pouring position. The leads on the battery are too short for people like me with big hands. It is difficult to get my hands into the small battery compartment. My knuckles are now scraped. I plugged in the AC adapter to charge the battery, but there is no indication (like an LED light) to indicate it is charging. Something as simple as you find on an electric shaver would be an improvement. My next step will be to add fuel and see how it actually works. At this point in the process, as you can read, I am a bit frustrated. Hopefully the rest of the process will be better.

Heavy but great generator!

We purchased this generator with the expectation that it would be quieter than our previous 3500w generator and it has lived up to it! It is a little still heavy like our other one and actually taller than expected but we need the extra power so its worth all that still.

Great Generator for home or RV

I have been shopping for an inverter generator for some time now and looked at all the reviews for this type of generator for my living quarters horse trailer. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 checked all the boxes. It is easy to operate and the digital screen tells you everything you need to know when the generator is operating. Great maneuverability, light weight and quiet.

So Far So Good

I bought this generator for my travel trailer and so far it has exceeded my expectations. it is easy to use and it seems easy to maintain. changing the oil was a breeze. I didn't know what to expect as far as noise level but compared to most generators, this one is by far quieter. It is heavy at about 100 lbs with fluids but it is a beast of a generator. I am very satisfied with my purchase!

Easy setup and start!

Bought this for our travel trailer. Great purchase runs everything in our trailer. Love the key fob, easy start from inside the trailer. Another great bonus is the pull handle, makes it easy to move around. The quick setup was so easy, simple instructions add oil, hookup battery and add fuel and you are ready to go! Simple!

Very good product

I just received the product and proceeded with the minimal assembly. Just plug the battery add oil and gas and start. It started with no issues. The user manual and other instructions are complete and easy to follow. It ran for about one hour and worked flawlessly . I am looking forward to run it under real conditions for several hours.

Perfect Generator for Camping!

Everything arrived promptly in great shape. It was up and running in minutes. The generator is super quiet and supplies full 30 amp continuous power to our camper. The electric and remote start makes it super convenient. Thank you for designing it with the 30 AMP RV plug instead of a standard generator plug - no adapters needed! The pull out handle and the top handles make is easy to maneuver and secure when needed. The digital display showing remaining fuel, run time, and power draw is fantastic.

Great system

I bought this for my wife to use for her horse trailer where I do no go with her, thus am not there to pull start a normal generator. She Loves the remote control start/stop button. Been having some recent trouble with the generator, but have found the service technician to be amazingly helpful in solving my problem. They want happy customers.

Awesome Generator

We bought this generator because of the output we needed to power a DJ for our daughter's wedding and didn't want to listen to an open frame generator. I was amazed on how quite it was. We are RVers and so are many of the people that came to the wedding. Everyone who was familiar with generators and camping that saw this baby in action wanted to steal this for their our use. The remote start is great, fuel consumption is great and over all performance is great!
