Great purchase!

We bought the igen4500 for our 38’ travel trailer after researching the quietest generators. Great purchase so far. It does everything we need/expect it to do (including run the AC). One of the side panels was cracked upon delivery, but we’ll be contacting Westinghouse for a replacement. No need to remove a star since it likely happened at some point during transit. The generator works great regardless.

Light weight and quiet unit!

Great generator to use for RV boondocking! Love how quiet it is and easy to maneuver. It also lasted longer than expected. We were able to use it about an average of 12 hrs without filling up with gas. It also has a remote which is super convenient. Great purchase!

Nice unit. Easy to start and operate

Purchase 5/2020. iGen4500 Rev01. Read previous reviews. Looked for the obvious problems / conditions others had experience with. Found wire unplugged. Reconnect the wire. Serviced unit IAW the Quick Start Guide. Started the generator . Runs great. Tested all functions. Hooked up and load-tested. Works great. Easy starting / operation. My wife is real comfortable operating this generator

WAS A REAL LIFESAVER

This review is actually for the igen2500 camo version. We purchased it the week Hurricane Florence hit and boy was it a lifesaver. We ran our lights, 1 ceiling fan, 2 box fans, a full size refrigerator, 60" tv, a 32" tv, two xbox one's and our modem and wireless router, and she purred like a kitten and sipped the gasoline. We ran it for 3 days non stop on about 7 gallons of gasoline. I also have a generac 5500 watt and this one is soooooo much quieter compared to that one. I always wanted one of the small Hondas but this one is just as quiet and works just as good for a fraction of the price. I'm actually thinking about purchasing another one to parallel them together for extra wattage. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

First generator

Happy to have a generator and it now runs great but unhappy with setting up. Leaked a considerable amount of gas over my backyard until I found out the drain plug on the carbeurator was open. I was fortunate I didn't fill it up! I have also not been successful in strapping down the battery. Very fussy trying to attach front and back of strap and not even obvious what it attaches to. Appreciate the remote though. Would still recommend....but with reservations.

All the features I need for RV and emergency use.

I just unboxed and started the generator. Easy to set up. Instructions are clear AND there is an actual manual with words not just pictures. I bought the iGEN5000cv with just pull start. It started on the 3rd pull. Very quiet. Remember to fill the oil and follow the 5 hour break-in period.

Replacing smaller Westinghouse generator

Bought this because we needed a larger generator to use on our camper, we boondock a lot, so no electric hook up. Brother has one just like this model and it did a great job with his camper which has more bells and whistles than ours so it was a no brainer to get the same. Used it once so far and it was great.

ONCE IT STARTS ITS GREAT

I BOUGHT IT FOR MY TRAVEL TRAILER. I LIKE THE REMOTE START, THE WHEELS AND HANDEL. IT RUNS 12,500 A/C & MICROWAVE AT THE SAME TIME. IT IS QUIET & I LIKE THE 30 A PLUG. THE AUTO CHOKE DOES NOT WORK! TO START IT YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE SIDE PANEL & WITH A SCREW DRIVER CLOSE THE CHOKE.

Impressive

This is an initial impression since I just received the generator, set it up, & tested it to power my fifth wheel rv. I've had 2 Honda eu2000i gens run in parallel for the last 10 years of fulltime travel. This iGen4500 is to replace the Hondas. It has slightly more power than the 2 Hondas together, but with electric start, it is much more convenient to use.My main concern was if this would be as quiet as the Hondas. I carry & use the gen in my truck bed. I tested both the Hondas & the iGen4500 in my truck bed with a decibel meter, both at idle & while powering my air conditioner. I was surprised to find the iGen4500 produced the exact same decibel levels as the Hondas under both conditions. I'm really looking forward to the quietness & the convenience of electric remote start.

Great little Generator

I purchased this unit to power my RV Air Conditioner. The setup was a breeze. Everything needed to start is included. After putting the oil (supplied) and adding a gallon of gasoline, this thing started on the first try. Also, I am amazed on how quiet it is, even more on the eco mode. I've owned other generators but feel this one is the best. I strongly recommend this generator. Thank you Westinghouse....
