A lot quieter than expected. Ran great out of the bow once fuel, oil and battery connection taken care of as outlined in startup guide. I don’t know if these generators are pre-tested at factory. The gas fill was wet with fuel and oil dip stick had oil on it. There was no sign of use on tires or any where else. Pleased so far.

I bought this unit about a week ago. Once it arrived, I read the directions cover to cover and then thoroughly inspected the unit. This thing is flawless! The instructions said to run it at no more than 50% power for the first five hours of use. The unit is so powerful that I couldn't even get it to 50%! I was plugging everything in and still only reached 25%. Westinghouse is by far at the top of their game. I, without a doubt, will recommend Westinghouse products to anyone I know.

This generator is Great it has plenty of power and it’s super quiet it has a nice big fuel tank, It ships nicely and bonus it comes with oil, a funnel and a little tool kit and even a charger for your on board battery overall a very very great value.

This would get 5 stars if it wasn't for the choke not being plugged into the control board as the unit would not start after following the start up to a T. I went on You Tube and found that these units are being shipped out without the choke being connected, I opened up the unit and plugged it in and it started on the next attempt. I hope this isn't an indication of things to come. It surprisingly quiet

Connected the battery, added oil & gas... it fired right up at the push of a button. Runs great and super quite. Unit generates enough juice to run EVERYTHING in my 18' camper at once including the 13500 BTU AC with plenty of power to spare. Eco mode ensures that I don't burn fuel unnecessarily by throttling down when extra power isn't needed. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

I just received my new iGen4500. Read the manual, filled it with oil and fuel, hooked up the battery and it immediately fired up using the remote control. I couldn't be happier. Generator came very well protected and there was no damage in transit. Operation manual is clear and easy to understand. My primary use will be to power my travel trailer while it is in the woods at my hunting camp. The generator is almost quiet enough to be unnoticeable. I really like the digital information display. It shows the amount of fuel left, the run time left as well as the voltage and the running time. A very sweet machine.

Just purchased my second IGen4500 after how good the first has done. Unboxed the first one and immediately took it hunting to run my trailer. Fired up great and ran in 15-20 degree weather with no problems all week. Fuel consumption is awesome with eco setting. Generator is very quiet and even when it is 3 am. Can’t wait to parallel these.

We purchased the iGen 4500 to use for boondocking when we camp in our new travel trailer. We love the weight of this and the handy retractable handle for ease in moving it. The set up and starting it for the first time was extremely easy and user friendly. We looked at other generators and found the price of this coupled with the features to be just what we need. My husband especially likes the remote control starter and the quiet hum when it is running.

We bought this to use on our 2016 Springdale camper went with a 4500 needed the extra for the air-conditioning kicking on and off works great it is so quiet you can’t even hear it when you’re inside the camper at night and the energy saver mode is the most saves on fuel five stars

iGen500c was delivered a week ago. Setup was reasonably straightforward. I suggest you look at one of the 'unboxing and starting' videos on you tube before you start. That makes it quite easy to do. Started on second pull of the cord. A few minutes, then shut it down. Then tested both the push button and remote electric starts. Both worked very well. Ran it for about 45 minutes with different loads (within the 50% limit during break-in) and it responded well on adding them and adding power. Finally did a decibel level check at 5 locations, where I had taken numbers for on my old generator the previous week. Excellent results, it ran a minimum of 25% quieter than the old Generac, and the sound is a very tolerable low hum rather than a roaring beast.!! Will be running it once a week to get through the break-in and first oil change
