Excellent features and performance

I purchased this unit right after the March Ice Storm in Northern Michigan. The unit is bigger than the Honda 2000 my brother loaned me. I have used it a couple of times since then. Very quiet operation and longer runtime than the Honda. Very easy to setup and use. The unit performed very well in keeping my power stations charged for several days. Very pleased with the unit.

Excited to be ready for hurricane season

Very easy set up (I'm a widow and on my own and was concerned about being able to handle it by myself). It's pretty heavy (about 100 lbs.), but I was able to get it out of the box with only a few grunts. The directions were clearly explained for the initial set-up and it even came with the oil needed. I haven't run it yet, but am confident that it'll be exactly what I need.

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.

Great Generator - Westinghouse needs to fix….

Ok, this generator is dollar for dollar, the best generator you are going to get for under a thousand dollars. It’s super quiet and perfect for an RV park. It has many features that would cost you twice as much for with other companies. However, Westinghouse, fix the choke control coming unplugged during shipping problem already!!! First, this should not hinder you from buying this product. Go through the reviews and you will find unhappy customers where their generator ran rough and stalled. I did tons of research and found a service bulletin before I bought it. I got my generator and sure enough, it had the same issues many people complained about. It would stall out, run rough, and refueled to start. So, I opened up the panels, found the cord that came unplugged during shipping, plugged it back in, and now it works beautifully. But seriously, you’ll find reviews from over two years ago complaining about the same issue. So, Westinghouse, please fix this issue already. For setup, here are some helpful tips. 1. Don’t just fill up the generator with oil. Fill it with 3/4 of the bottle provided. Check the oil. Add a little more if needed and check again. Keep doing this until it’s full. Most likely, there’s a little oil still in it from the factory. If you pour the whole bottle in there, you will most likely overflow it. 2. Make sure you add fuel stabilizer to your fuel before you put it in the generator. 3. Check out the bulletin. You may need it. 4. The battery ships in the compartment but it is unplugged. So, plug it in before starting it. 5. Unless you plan to use the generator right away, I recommend only filling it a quarter full with gas. Fill it all the way up when you need to use it, that way you keep fresh fuel in it. Overall, I would recommend this generator. You just need to plan for an extra 30 minutes if setup since you’ll probably need to re-plug the choke back in.

Quiet for size- Needs High Elevation Carb.

Just purchased, have not used camping yet. Seems easy to use and runs quiet for the size of generator. I like the remote start. I was a bit surprised the manual says to purchase a "high elevation" carburetor (>5,000Ft). Never seen this recommendation before on lawn mowers or snow blowers. Figured there would have been an adjustment you could do to the factory installed carb.

Very good product

I just received the product and proceeded with the minimal assembly. Just plug the battery add oil and gas and start. It started with no issues. The user manual and other instructions are complete and easy to follow. It ran for about one hour and worked flawlessly . I am looking forward to run it under real conditions for several hours.

Easy, Quiet, Great Warranty Recall Response

After a year with 26 hrs run time an issue developed that was addressed by a manufacturer’s recall. Response was immediate and a new unit was sent out. Westinghouse exceeded expectations on how this was handled. Unit is very quiet, great run time on a tank of gas, easy operation and handles a full load on our RV effortlessly.

Everything I was wanting

Bought this after looking at several other generators. I felt like it offered the most value for the money. Runs my whole camper. Comes with 30 amp rv plug ready to go plus it has electric start. Looks and feels very well made. So far I am very pleased.

Great features, really quiet

Just fired the new IGen4500 up today. I don’t have a lot of experience with generators. It was easy to set up. The directions did say to use all the oil it comes with. That made it overflow I little. Started up on the first push of the button, and never stopped purring. The remote worked first push also. We were really surprised at how quiet it ran. Conversation right next to it was easy.
