Easy to set up and use, quiet, powerful

I bought this for my new camper, for when I go off grid. Something big enough to power the AC when it starts, and also big enough to serve as backup power to run a couple room heaters if the power goes out. Easy to setup, easy to use, so far. Quiet. I like the eco mode for when you don't need the full output. Also, I like that it is RV ready, and I like a no-frills machine (no dual fuel, no electric remove start, so many, many fewer things to break).

SO FAR I LIKE IT

My iGen4500 was just delivered last night. Not happy with the Jerk who dumped it on my door step upside down at 7:30 pm and didn't knock. I had some concerns about it being damaged and wondered if it would start after being upside down. This morning, I filled it with oil and gas and one light touch of the starter button and it fired right up. Quite compared to other generators I've had. I plugged in my surge protector for my RV and got a green light. I'm looking forward to using this with our new camping trailer. A little heavier that I anticipated.

saved us

Had it for awhile never needed it. Then one night in our 5th wheel the park lost power. This baby fired right up and we had power all night and the next day with hardly using any gas. This was in the middle of Texas summer so AC are a must. We love this generator so much now. You never need one until you do. Oh and super quiet.

Best I have ever OWNED

I bought this generator in June and used over the 4th of July camping and on our camping trip to Montana. It worked great the whole time. It is extremely quiet and I had numerous other campers come ans ask me about it. It ran our air conditioner in our 28 foot travel trailer just fine. I rate this a 5 star!!!

Conversation quiet!

First the good: This thing is so quiet you can stand next to it and have a conversation. I put my sound meter next to it and got low 60s decibels, that is about the level of a conversation. Compare to my 6000W monster at mid-70s which you have to shoot over (mid-70s is like sitting in heavy traffic). Push button start, remote start, easy to maneuver with the retractable handle, all good stuff. Haven't plugged the camper into it yet but have no doubt she can handle it and I won't be drowning out the neighbors. So the not-so-good: it arrived damaged. No apparent damage on the box. I was on the lookout for that after seeing other reviews. The damage is to a bracket on one of the side panels that holds the threads for the back panel to screw into. It was completely snapped off. I have a support request into Westinghouse so if that resolves then it is 5-star! The only other "could be better" is if the oil plug was a little farther out so that spilled oil didn't sit in the housing and it might be easier to do an oil change. They do give you a nice funnel to make it work but there is still a little spilling. Super minor

Great features at a great price!

This inverter generator was purchased for use with our travel trailer but it will be great portable power for our farm as well. We love how quiet it is and all the extra features that we did not find on other comparably priced units. For example, all the outlets are covered, it is RV ready with no extra adapter needed, and with the extendable handle and wheels is very easy to move around. Little design things like a screw on funnel and easy access panels make it a user friendly unit. Overall a great unit for our needs at a very reasonable price!

Great generator but could use some refinement.

I have a Honda EU 3000 and a predator 3500 now this one and there’s many features I like about this but there are some improvements needed. 1 this when under a load runs around 76db’s and the predator ran at 72db, Honda being the loudest at 79db. I’d love this unit to be quieter. 2.) Oil capacity needs to be 1 qt to make things easy as well as a filter or a magnetic dip stick. Both would be great. 3.) Plastics. I have no idea who is in charge of plastic but these are aweful. They scratch and mar extremely fast and they have stress marks in certain parts. 4.) Gas cap should be made so that it clicks when tightening. 5.) bigger wheels and remove the telescoping pole for better outdoor and camping use. Sand and grit will get in the mechanism and render it almost useless.

Awesome features!!

I bought this generator as a suggestion from a fried that has one. Best selection ever, I can start it myself(short woman) in 3 seconds, light weight, easy to turn on and off from inside the trailer. Very efficient, runs several hours with a full gas.

Better Than Expected

Bought this unit a week ago and works like a charm. Delivery was fast and the unit works smoothly. The noise level is not loud at all, wife says it sound like a lawnmower running from inside the house. Starts up with a push of a button or the remote. Pull starting fires up maybe after the second or third pull. It's will take two to lift without injuring your back, but if push come to shove you can do it by yourself. Great product and very satisfied.

Great generator for the price

Recieved generator with in 1 week of purchase. Which was quick due to factory shutting down due to the covid. Followed instructions accroding to the Westinghouse quick start manual. But the generator would not run right and would shutoff when any load was applied. Called technical support and was told I would revived a call within 24 to 48 hours. Hope this issue can get resolved quickly
