Would not start right out of box

Had read all the reviews and noticed the issues with initial start-up. I was a little disappointed that the issue has not been resolved. I called support and they sent me the bulletin to deal with the problem. Problem solved after losing a little skin off my hands. Looking forward to using this unit.

Just as Advertized

I purchased this before this year’s hurricane season. It started with the first push of the electric start. I did a mock run of two freezers and two refrigerators all plugged in and for two hours it never had to work hard. It is quiet as advertised. I am very satisfied. It met my expectations.

Easy Start Up

I did a lot of research on this before buying it and I am so glad that it bought this unit. Instructions were incredibly easy to follow and the unit started on the first try. It’s been running for about an hour now and is incredibly quiet, easy to use and I’m very excited to have this. This is my first generator, I would highly recommend this brand and model is I think it will be a valuable asset for years to come.

Easy setup and start

Got this for our camper and so glad we did! It was so easy to set it up and start it. When received wasn't sure how me and my husband were gonna move it around but was surprised to see it had wheels and a handle to pull like luggage. So convenient and not very loud! Great investment!

So Far.....So Good!

I’m only at Day-1 of this purchase so a lot remains to be seen, but it did start right up and it runs quiet and smooth. I wish it had an overall hour usage meter so I know when to change the oil, etc... I’ll likely buy an hour meter aftermarket very soon. That’s my only complaint so far.

Easy to set up and use.

Just returned from a camping trip and the iGen4500 did everything that I was hoping that it would do. The remote start was the selling point for me. It was quiet and started right up. It is heavy, but the product description told me that. I am looking forward to many more camping trips!

Perfect so far!

We just got our iGen4500 and so far it has worked to out expections. We bought to to boondock with our 5th wheel rv. Ran a ac unit when we tested it, some lights and a appliance. So far all has been perfect to our expectations. Get to really test it and break it in for the coming months.

Very nice generator

I bought this Gen to power my travel trailer when we can't connect to shore power. We love the convenience of the remote start feature. In the morning, we just hit the button and we have power for the microwave and the coffee maker. We max out the power output on the warm days with the a/c, w/h, 120v fridge, and microwave, (and of course the tv) running at the same time. It handles the load just fine. It lowers rpm's nicely as the load changes which is nice as the loudness diminishes as the load decreases. Still trying to figure out how to change the oil with ease and no mess. With the outer covering, it's hard to replace the oil without a mess. That aside, would recommend to anyone needing this much power to be off grid.

Terrible Design

Have had several generators or various makes, tried Westinghouse due to being "American company" worst generator I have used to date, poor quality, terrible design, worst handle ever made. Carb. has stuck needle valve, fuel shut off already defective. Oil changes very difficult and poorly thought out for user. Will say remote start is handy but why have display light activated as it can run battery down, if i need to turn on switch to enable remote why not just push start button on front of unit instead, silly in design.

Awesome Generator

I bought this generator for my mini donut trailer about a month ago and it’s been wonderful. I’ve had several vendors come up and ask how I liked it and that it was much more quieter than other brands. Electric start is quick and remote start is nice for easy setup. The 3 gallon tank is nice at long events so that you don’t have to refill during.
