Excellent Product

I recently bought this unit to power my RV when I do not want to run the onboard RV generator. I wanted a unit that would run both air conditioners if needed. This unit fulfills that need. It runs very quiet even under load and has operated flawlessly.

Good customer service

Ran great for 2 months while boon docking, then it didn’t run at all. Tried everything the Westinghouse techs suggested to no avail. Even though I was beyond the 40 day replacement limit and because I was beyond 100 miles from the nearest authorized service facility they sent me a new replacement unit. Very happy with their service.

has all the gages that you would need on front

I bought the igen4500 a week ago, removed from box read instructions that are easy to read and understand. Pluged the battery wires in, filled with oil, pulled on pull rope a few times to get oil to the pistions. Turned gas on and on switch, pushed start button, started right up, very quite. Will let the gen run a little before putting load on the gen. A lot of information gauges on front and enough plugs for what ever you might need.

Fired right up!

Followed easy instructions to prepare the Gen for it's first run. New battery connection made it even easier, oil, gas, and pushed the magic button and it fired right up. Ran for an hour on both eco and standard with no load for initial break in. Overall very quiet, easy to move around with the wheels and am excited to take it camping!

May be great after choke is fixed

I received the unit a few days ago. After set up it started immediately and ran well for 5 hours of break-in. Unfortunately, the choke sticks so I must remove the access cover to adjust the choke each time so the generator will start. My expectation is that this issue will be fixed so I can use the generator for camping with my trailer. The features of this generator make it convenient to use and service and the power is just right for our needs. Once repaired I will submit a revised review.

Great first impression

I recently purchased the iGen 4500 for home use because we tend to lose power several time a year. Today, I started it for the first time - and it was as smooth a silk. The engineering on the machine is quite consumer friendly, especially the telescoping handle -genius ! I did have one question about the initially start-up so I called customer service. My question was answered quickly and with knowledge. Now this is my first impression of the I Gen. I am confident that it will prove true and reliable when I really need it.

It works great right out of the box

I had no trouble with setting up this piece of equipment. The accessory toolkit was helpful with the funnel included in the kit filling the oil was a breeze! The battery charger is which was included in the toolkit is also a nice feature. I charged the battery over night just to be sure that it had enough of a charge to start the device the next day and test the generator out by hooking it up to my camping trailer. The generator pasted the test with flying colors with plenty of power for my camping needs. The remote start is a godsend for my wife in using the generator. the generator is also markedly quieter than my other generator. The compact size is nice too. My other generator is a Craftsman rated a 5600 running watts and is much larger and more cumbersome so the Li'l Blue as I now call my new generator is just about perfect in everyway as far as a portable power source could be. We my wife and I are looking forward to getting out in the mountains of Montana and doing a lot more camping made more enjoyable with our new power source.

Great Generator

We use ours to power our camper and our car trailer. We had a different one that was not capable of running our camper's AC unit. We have 4 other racers at the track we frequent who all use this model of generator. This generator is definitely quieter than our old one and the remote start is definitely a perk!!

Amazing Generator!

We bought this generator for very specific reasons so we could power our RV. And every one of the specs that we needed work better than expected. On Eco mode, this generator runs extremely quiet! With Eco mode off the power is more than enough for our needs. The push button start works like a dream! We highly recommend this to anyone looking for a dependable generator with high output.

So far so good

Opened it and followed the setup and there have been zero issues running my camping trailer. The AC runs great and this generator doesn't struggle to handle it at all. It's quiet and 1000 times better than my old generator that I only got 2 good years of use out of.
