Great Features, Easy Setup

I bought this generator a couple weeks ago. I was able to set up fairly quickly. It worked great for our RV trailer, lasted a pretty good while with the a/c running, tv, refrigerator running. It only shut off once from the CO2 due to the cover, falling over the back.

Fantastic Product!

Great portable generator; this is exactly what I was looking for to power my RV. Powerful yet quiet, I can run run most all of my stuff using this unit and it's so quiet!, The start-up was so easy using the simple instructions provided and I really liked how simple and convenient you made it with the oil filler funnel (screw-in tube) and the simple battery connection. And this key fob for remote starting - Wow how convenient. You guys Nailed-It with this product! Totally satisfied customer, WDW

Compact, Easy to Use, Easy to Store

Originally purchased this item for use with our travel trailer but it turned out to be slightly higher than would fit under the tonneau cover on our Nissan Frontier, however, after setting the generator up and firing it up for the first time, we were so pleased with the quietness of the unit that we decided to keep it to supplement our other portable generator used during power outages. This one will be used to limit noise from use near our bedroom - it's that quiet!

Extremely Quiet

I bought this due to a fire at my house and I am very happy with the decision. The generator is quiet, provides energy to high tech items without any issues. The remote start is a great feature. The manual shows a different layout on the control panel than the generator that I received so I am planning to request an update. The only downside for me is I wish the gas tank was bigger. I am considering purchasing a second and a connector cable to run the entire house in the event of an extended power failure.

Easy setup

When I received my IGen4500 off of the delivery truck, it took me 20 minutes from the time I opened the box to starting the generator. The instructions that came with the generator were very clear. I now have 12 hours on the generator with no issues. It runs my entire travel trailer.

Great value for the money, needs a few quality improvements

When the unit arrived I was quite disappointed with the factory packaging. The side was scuffed, which is not that big of a deal in the long run. However, the oil plug was not screwed in, rather set in, to its port. This meant that lifting it from the box with a slight tilt resulted in oil on my driveway. Not something you expect from new in box product. I called support to complain but got an answering service that was totally incapable of aid. Despite this initial set of bad experiences, I progressed further. Let's start with the bad. The oil plug and oil change process is horrible. It is very difficult to align the threads on the plug to the port. Oil cannot be drained with removal of a plug. The unit must be tilted with the funnel stuck in the oil fill port. The case surrounding the engine provides limited access and makes a clean change impossible. Stuff some shop towels all around the bottom to make this go as smoothly as possible and then clean up the mess afterward. Always expect some oil on the ground for the time following a change as it seeps from the various cavities of the case. Other gripes are the protective covers for the circuit breakers screw on and will ride off with vibration. Found one in the bed of the truck and thankfully knew where it came from. Need to regularly tighten them. Finally, the tank level gauge is hit and miss. I've seen the unit run for hours on 0.0 L of fuel. No, it does not read gallons. The side cover removal includes a top center screw that is machine screw to plastic. It is very difficult to remove or replace due to improper choice of screw. Mine is now marred and I no longer completely set this screw. These should all be hex screws like the lower left corner to avoid such marring. Now for the good. In general, this is the best bang for the buck I could find. The power is awesome. No, you cannot run 2 15K ACs at the same time, but you can run 1 AC and just about everything else. The noise level is great, and you will basi

Best in camp

I love this generator! I went camping with a group of people. My new iGen4500 was lighter, quieter, and easier to move around than the two other generators in our group. I loved being able to use the remote to start/stop my generator from inside my camper when it was raining. Best in camp.

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....

Best Bang for the Buck!

After watching plenty of reviews on inverter generators, the Igen4500 was able to check all the boxes. I had bought this unit to power our 28ft. travel trailer without having to worry about the need for a second generator to have enough power. It's hefty (just under 100lbs) but can definitely get the job done, oh, and it's quiet too.
