We just recently bought this generator. The main purpose was to replace our very old and very loud generator we’ve had forever. Our son recently started using our old one for camping and we thought picking this new one up would be helpful for both of us! He takes it camping and it’s so much more quieter then our old one. We also plan to keep it on our patio in the winter for when the power goes out we can keep a few things going.

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.

I was looking for a quiet generator with a remote start and did quite a bit of research. The Westinghouse generators seemed to always be in the top 5 of any search I performed. I decided to purchase it and so far I love it. I have only started it a few times and have not used it to power my trailer yet but it started easily and is very quiet. I did have a little bit of difficulty connecting the battery wires together and scraped my hand on the plastic but if you wear gloves it shouldn’t be a problem. Looking for ward to this weekend and trying it out.

Have only used it for a few hours so far but it works great. Only issue I have is it lags in catching up with load increases. I use it with an RV and when the AC comes on, it takes long enough to catch up to the load increase that the voltage drop causes some electronics to turn off.

Purchased after the March, 2015 ice storm. Borrowed my brothers Honda 2000 during that time. The iGen 5000 is as quiet as the Honda. However, the larger tank and front panel display and the higher output make this a much better unit. It starts right up and is ready to go right away. I am able to provide recharging to my two power stations at one time vice only one at a time. The wheels and handle make it very easy to relocate the unit. This will make any future power outages much easier to handle. Very nice unit for the price.

While price checking the 4500 I happened upon a flash sale from Walmart, it was priced at $700 so I bought one. Five minutes later the price was back to $879. The generator arrived with no shipping damage but the battery strap was broken, no big deal. Everything works as it should. I've been breaking it in at various RPMs and will be doing the first oil change soon. The location of the drain plug makes it a difficult job but it's do able. Go to You Tube for suggestions and solutions. Holding back one star because of the battery strap and inconvenient oil change situation.

Just bought today getting ready for a week out in the woods.

Nicely built, quiet generator, great reviews, easy to work

Just got it but I am excited to try it when we go camping.

Just received this product and it's easy to start up!
