Great generator - one issue

I just finished breaking the generator in and doing the first oil change. It runs great and has excellent features. It’s quiet also. It’s a 5 star generator except for one issue on mine. Mine came without the generator choke cable being plugged in. There is a YouTube video about how to fix this if the choke stays on it requires removing about 30 screws/bolts to fix. Takes almost an hour. Glad I fixed it because I really like it. Fixing it is a better option than returning it if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. Glad I bought it.

Perfect Size and great price!

Just purchased this product for our usage for Farmers Markets and on farm general use. Very good quality , very well packaged, nice quality of manufacturing, and very easy to start . Ran a full size freezer ( lay down ) and a full size side by side refrigerator with doors open to kick on compressors and didn’t even make this hoss bow down. I ran them in ECO mode to see if it would boggle and nothing! Very impressed!!

Easy start

I bought the IG4500 for an RV Travel Trailer with a 15000BTU air conditioner. It works FLAWLESS. It is he perfect size generator to run all my equipment and the Air Conditioner. We literally sit in the RV and push the remote to start and stop the generator. Couldn’t be easier. The remote is a must. So far the unit has preformed without issue. Back to the RV!

Great features, poor design

All the features are nice. However I've had issues with the choke and the wiring not being connected. Maintenance is difficult as the access panels are far too small. Changing oil is difficult. Used for ice fishing and didn't have any issues with run time or having enough power to run the fish house.

I am impressed and excited!

I decided I need an updated generator and after spending time looking through the myriad options locally and online, I landed on this one and I'm glad I did! Easy instructions to follow and with a simple push of a button, my new generator was cranking up with no effort! I love that this thing is not deafening and I won't have to worry about neighbors thinking it's too loud when operating. It's easy to move around with the built in wheels with pull handle built in. I have already used it in a few mobile situations and everyone loved it and I'll be in a much stronger position during longer than normal power outages in the future from hurricanes.

Back Up Gen for RV

Bought this generator as a back up for my RV in case of power outages. Very pleased with its performance and durability. Easy to maintain and use, love the remote control and the hand rail to tote the generator much easier. Read many reviews and watched videos before purchasing. Westinghouse has a parallel kit available for these model gens so that you can connect two for added power for added amp hours.

Great design

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

Easy to use

I bought this item to power my 29ft camper. It has no problems at all while using Evernote air/heat. It arrived unblemished just added oil and fuel and it was ready to go. I really like the remote start/stop feature. My wife can finally start the generator by herself.

Quiet and powerful

We bought this for camping. Power’s everything it should: a/c, fridge, everything. So much quieter than our older generator. We can actually have a conversation standing next to the running iGen4500. Starts so easy. The remote is really going to change things, too.

Great product when running

Bought this 4- 6 months ago and the electric and remote start are great features to have. A couple of challenges... I would like to see an easier way to drain oil, and an easier access panel to fuel bowl drain and choke assembly would be great as the electric choke failed on my particular unit; waiting to see what level of service Westinghouse will provide to correct the choke issue.
