I have not had the opportunity to start this yet, but i will go over the pros and cons of why I purchased this unit. Pros are the Key fob and push button start, with someone who has several herniated discs in my lower back this was a must, the gas gauge and run time until empty is a feature that will be very useful as the power output in percentages and the charging cord to keep the onboard battery charged. The cons is only one, I wish they had a better way to change the oil without making such a mess..

I really like the way this generator is designed. Its basic construction looks well-done (I peeked under the plastic in several places). Plus there is an attention to detail that seeks well of to. For example, the generator comes with its own funnel for adding oil, AND the funnel screws into the filler neck - no spills! Ran it for an hour and drained the oil - no filings or discoloration on of the oil, very clean. Takes a sudden load very well - a dip, then right back to needed rpm. Very pleased!

We bought this for our van. We have transformed it into a camper and with it being summer we really need and air conditioning. I love how quiet it is so we will not disturb the other camper around us. Will definitely recommend this to all our camping friends..

I bought the iGen5000c a week ago. Manual was easy to follow. After following the instructions it started right away. This was an upgrade for me from a Honda with fuel gauge. The same price as what we paid for our Honda we get much better features. Fuel gauge, which is important. Along with bigger fuel tank, electric start, and remote. Love the pullhandle

I was concerned that the noise from any generator would bother my neighbors, but this generator is so quiet it won't disturb anyone (quieter than a distant-sounding lawn mower). I hooked up a 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner and then tried an 1,100 watt microwave, and this generator handled them each with no problem. Even though it weighs about 100 pounds, the wheels and handle make it easy to move around. It also isn't too large, which is nice for storage in my garage. The remote on/off feature is nice and the unit starts up easily with it. I live in Northern California where PG&E now shuts off power temporarily when there is a threat of fires during red flag conditions. It's good to be prepared now, in case that happens in my neighborhood in the future. I am pleased with my purchase and have already recommended this generator to others.

We have used the generator in our boat. It will run water heater, fridge, coffee maker, 30 amp battery charger with no problem. It will not consistently start my onboard ac/heat as the unit has to many amp spike at start up. When it does get it started the generator handles the load no problem. Run time remaining, volts, fuel level, total hrs, fuel gauge, load level all very nice and works great! Just going to change oil at 17 hours (1 tank of fuel). Will report back after getting more run time. Right now I would replace it tomorrow if I needed a generator again. Very happy!

Bought to be able to run full RV power (AC etc.) on our new property. Very impressed with the quality and build of the unit. Not much time spent running to date, however, it starts right up and doesn't appear to have an automatic choke issue as we live at 7000'+. Remote start is extremely appreciated!

Some previous reviews had me cautious, but this IGEN4500 turned out to be superb so far.. This current version is on it's game ! Packaging was near perfect and delivery could not have been better. Arrived in the minimum delivery time. Super easy setup / startup. Generator case access is an easy, no screw affair for battery and oil hatches. Battery hookup and oil fill access will be no problem. ( oil fill / drain is always tricky on this type platform). The unit started immediately and all functions tested out positively. Very impressed! Some previous reviews referenced difficulty with - Battery access, Limited functionality of some controls, Electronic choke systems. I had none of that . This has been the best I-Gen buying experience. It's a rather big unit, and at 100 lbs.. be ready to handle it. That's the point! Compare- you will see this is a good deal. FYI; This unit will be used at at an off grid / solar cabin in harsh conditions. -Westinghouse = Thank you for addressing issues and improving this product !

I have done a lot of research and this was in my mind the best deal for your dollar. i cant wait to get out and use it . It was sold out or back ordered every where i looked in town or on the net for ever so it must be a great deal .finally got one and cant wait to use it

I've just bought the iGen4500 and it is now my 4th Westinghouse generator (I've had a WH2400i and I still have a pair of iGen2500's) and I've been very pleased with them all. The only complaint I've had with the smaller generators (which I run in parallel) is that they don't hold enough fuel so I have to refuel them 2 or 3 times during a track day which is very inconvenient. I tried adding an extended run generator and that went really well until the hot summer days came along and vapor lock set in. So, I finally gave up and decided to just buy an iGen4500 with its much larger tank which I'm hoping will allow me to get through a track day without refueling.
