Starts easily, runs quietly..

Arrived from the shipping company in very roughed up box. But the shipping materials did their job and the unit was undamaged. Had power outage two days later and ran all my smart devices in my home flawlessly. The unit starts easily and runs quietly and looks like it will be easy to maintain.

Great for RV camping!

It arrived on the UPS truck without any defects. After reading the directions (including adding engine oil) it fired up on the first pull. It is a lot of generator for the money. I love the big fuel tank, it lets us sleep all night in our RV without having to refuel when boondocking.

Great Value for the price point

Have had several Westinghouse Generators , Wanted this one as its the quieter Inverter type , with cleaner power. Also this model line has been out for about 5 years so spare parts should be available for many years. Started right up after putting in oil and securing battery , Only Gripe is a little shipping Damage - but that seems like the way it is unfortunately when shipping. There Warranty support is usually pretty good resolving issues. Will primarily be using this as a home back up , my old one was a traditional open frame DF5300 - good generator but loud. would recommend !

Very Quiet and Started Easily

I purchased this on Amazon.com and it was delivered in two days. After adding the oil, fuel and connecting the battery it started on the first try. It is very quiet for a gasoline engine and in Eco mode it is as quiet as a house fan. The generator comes with everything except gasoline.

Exceptional Value!

I purchased this generator for our 24' travel trailer. I was very impressed with the features has. It has a 30 amp outlet that's perfect for our travel trailer making it a simple connection. The standard 110 outlets and USB outlets allows us to run and charge all our electronics safely. The amount of power this generator supplies is more than enough for our needs and is almost twice the power of other manufacturers at an even lower cost. I am extremely happy with my purchase. I am deeply disappointed that you do not offer a cover as I live in a very dusty dirty environment. I would have chosen it as my bonus item. Please consider making one available and I feel it would be another excellent selling point when customers decide what brand generator to buy.

Add oil and fuel - Started first try

After weeks of research, I purchased the igen4500. I had read about various issues associated with the choke and upside down 30amp plug. Both of these issues appear to have been resolved in the manufacturing process as neither materialized on my unit. Added oil and fuel, started up straight away. 2 days later I ran it for 24 hrs in 40 degree, humid conditions without issue. Fully satisfied.

Great so far

Started on first try. Runs very quiet. Bought this for home backup power for refrigerator, lights, tv, etc. Have not had the chance to test it fully yet but liking it so far. Remote start is nice as well. Having the pull handle and wheels is really convenient..

Great features

I bought the iGen5000c a week ago. Manual was easy to follow. After following the instructions it started right away. This was an upgrade for me from a Honda with fuel gauge. The same price as what we paid for our Honda we get much better features. Fuel gauge, which is important. Along with bigger fuel tank, electric start, and remote. Love the pullhandle

Suggestions

Worked fine right out of the box. My biggest complaint would be to relocate the carrying handles further to the sides of the generator if possible. Being a bit aged the gen isn't the lightest for two to carry. Handles closer to the edges would make it easier. Also there isn't alot of black top/concrete where we use the generator making the small wheels basically drags in softer terrain. Bigger wheels would help drastically.

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.
