The iGen5000c generator was purchased following a massive windstorm that left us without power for nearly three days. It arrived well packaged, and setup was easy. Instructions were clear and once the battery was connected, oil and fuel added, it ran smoothly from the start. I have yet to put much of a load on it but so far, I am quite pleased with the IGen5000c.

I bought this generator almost 2 months ago and I love it. The main reason for this purchase is for my RV and I am very pleased with how well it has worked. This is by far the quietest generator I have ever used. I love the push button start and the remote start is an amazing touch. This generator is also super light for the size and packs plenty of power for all my RV and camping needs. I highly recommend this unit to anyone who is in the market.

Purchased the inverter from HD on 4/4/2019, delivered on 4/9/2019. Took it out the box and filled with oil as instructed, added gas and she started right up. Got this for our RV that has a 15K ac. Ran it for about 2 hours trying to put a 25% load on it but could, I would have to run everything in the RV. Ran the heater but didn't get to 25%.

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!

I use this generator for my RV. I found the remote start / stop extremely convenient. The generator was apparently designed with RV use in mind. It works well in that use. I have had trouble with two of these starting automatically. The problem seems to be in the firmware that controls the automatic choke. Westinghouse has not made it possible to update the firmware even though there are USB ports available for doing this. The customer service people at Westinghouse have been very helpful in dealing with this problem.

After using two conventional generators for camping which were so loud it was annoying to those around us, we purchased this item. It is super quiet, unbelievably easy to start, a great product for the price and the remote start is awesome for cold mornings! So glad we purchased this generator! We have recommended it to fellow campers!

I was worried after the many reviews, but this is a great generator. After the breaking process, I took this to my hunting camp. For 48 hours this little giant was a power horse. -Very quiet -Fuel consumption - one fuel tank lasted 21 hours with heater, microwave, and trailer usage. -Easy to transport ( I could load this in my truck be myself unlike my old one) I did install an hours meter on before using the machine.

I have not had it a long time. First time starting it up to break-in, it started first time. I have been using it to run lights and air compressor in my garage. Been using it to run my toy hauler. Works perfectly. Pros: super super quiet. Equal to a Honda. It has a remote, plug-in battery charge, a function monitor, screw in oil funnel which is great, fuel filter when pouring gas into it, and all the controls are easy to read and understand. Very user friendly. And it’s easy to move around with the handle. Cons: access to the oil compartment is a little small but I have big hands. So far, this has been a great generator. Extremely happy with it.

The owner's manual is terrible. It doesn't explain things fully so that you have to contact Westinghouse repeatedly by phone. The manual is also outdated with confusing diagrams that don't even match the generator display and features. Apparently some oil was left in the generator when packed/shipped and it leaked all over the bottom and sides of the unit and into the plastic bag that it was packed in. So the oil caused the foam baffling on the oil access door to come off and it will not stick back on. Also, be aware of the battery pins that need connecting, not to the battery itself as per in the instructions, but pin to pin. The connecting pin was hidden off to the side in mine and I thought I had a bad battery. Also, as explained to me on the phone, in order to manually crank the motor you have to manually choke it by taking off the side panel and find a choke switch on top of the carburetor. It is a royal pain to unscrew the panel just to manually crank it...bad design! I hope everything else works better than the initial startup problems. The tech told me that a new manual is being written for this generator and I can see why.

After the freeze that we underwent here in Texas I decided this would be cheap insurance. Since I am on Nat. gas it will power both my furnaces and keep the pipes from freezing. Many people are still recovering from this nightmare almost 1 year later. The iGen 4500 is quiet and supplies all the power I need.
