Just what we were looking for

We found this generator by accident after trying a different (very noisy) brand first, and then having no success finding another brand recommended by a friend. We've used this a few times this summer and it's been great. Our son-in-law ended up buying one, too. Thanks for a great product we hope will last for years to come. Just wish it wasn't so heavy!

Love electric start

Ordered this after a wind storm took out our power. Shortly after getting it we had an ice storm that left us without power 4 days/3nights. Being able to start the generator from inside was great. I ordered two more for family members one of which is still without power on day 8.

A very compact small power unit

Unit came complete with very well written instruction. There are two small problems for people like me with big hands. The oil fill location is difficult at best and the extendable handle is a little less robust than i would like. Overall ... very good buy

Works as advertised

Fired up on first try. Much quieter than expected. Only negative was Owners Manual has been updated and I received old manual. Easily corrected by going online. If your manual tells you to tilt the unit and drain the oil from the the fill plug opening it is wrong (suspect this was the way previous smaller units were done). Should read ...using 12mm wrench remove oil drain bolt....etc.

Good customer service

Ran great for 2 months while boon docking, then it didn’t run at all. Tried everything the Westinghouse techs suggested to no avail. Even though I was beyond the 40 day replacement limit and because I was beyond 100 miles from the nearest authorized service facility they sent me a new replacement unit. Very happy with their service.

Previous big red owner

This generator is just as quiet as my Hond@ 3000 was but way more features and more power. To be fair it doesn't have the same quality feel as the Hond@, the Hond@ has a steel enclosure and this one is plastic, but at less than 1/2 the price (less than Hond@ 2000 watt) this has all these EXTRAS: (1) Fuel gauge with remaining run time, (2) Wheels! (3) remote start with auto choke. (4) built in battery maintainer. (5). load meter (6) Higher capacity It's a no brainer!

Quiet

I’ve only used this iGen4500 once and it ran my AC with no problems. It only ramped up during start-up and then quieted back down. This was at 4500’. We’ll see how it does at 9000’ in a couple of weeks. I’d give it 5 stars if not for the pathetic way you have to drain the oil.

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.

It is a beast

No issues, ran everything except 2 ACs in the RV, which is to be expected. It will run all night on a tank of gas. It's quiet and does what it's supposed to do. It's heavy no doubt. I have to have help to lift it into an RV compartment, but it does have beefy handles.

OverAll an Excellent Generator ... But ....

When I unboxed and setup the Gen it wouldn't start. I researched and found that it was a common problem with this Gen. One of the cables was NOT plugged in. Westinghouse needs to do better QUALITY CONTROL. They have an Excellent Product but the People Assembling it are lacking.
