Quiet Genrrator

I bought the iGen5000c generator for our camper. The reason I purchased the Westinghouse because of a review from a friend. The generator handles the air conditioner and the other needs with no problem. It is a very dependable and quiet. I highly recommend it.

One of the best

Easily one of the best generators on the market. Super quiet, powerful, and efficient. And you can buy 2 of these for the price of a lesser optioned eu3000i. The remote start and auto choke make starting it up in the morning as easy as pushing a button from the warmth of your bed.

Easy Set Up

I purchased the iGen4500 for boondocking with my camper. It was extremely easy to set up and appears to deliver everything advertised! I especially love the remote start, for mornings when I need it before breakfast and can turn it on from inside the RV! Worth every penny!

Awesome Generator

I got this generator in January but haven’t used yet as it is winter and not camp season. It’s now April so I am getting ready for use. I filled with oil, fuel, and connected the battery. Unit fired right up both with push start on the unit and with the remote. I let run for 30 minutes to start the breakin period. The unit was quiet especially for the size. I didn’t test with a meter but it’s possibly a little quieter than my Generac 2200 watt inverter. Gave 4 star as I haven’t used at all to be able to give a five star rating. Also it’s nice to have the extendable handle but it feels flimsy like the handle on travel luggage. This unit is heavy so will just have to see how it holds up. Not concerned that handle will affect my like for the generator as the wheels seem big and sturdy.

Issue with power

I bought this a month ago received it by delivery about 7 days later. I finally unpacked it she ran great. But once I put a load on it later in the week it kept bogging down and surging . The only item I had power to was my boat air conditioning all the other breakers were in the off position. The ac would come on but the temperature controller would blink out every time the Gen bogged down. I look at the power output it was just .83 showing on the display. Maybe it’s just a defective unit. Yes I would recommend to a friend

Great generator

We purchased this to use with our camper. We are running a 13.5k btu A/C, 11 CF 12v fridge, and a small microwave. With all of these items active (no lights or fans), the generator handled them to 75% capacity. I was impressed. I only wish it was just a little bit quieter. My buddy has a champion and his is 1000 watts larger and it is a little quieter than ours. Overall, very happy with the purchase!

So Quiet!

Our old generator was incredibly loud and kept tripping when trying to power the AC in our RV. A friend had the iGen4500 and I was shocked at how quiet it was. We are still in the break-in period so I haven't tried powering our AC yet, but when camping with said friend, it powered theirs without issue.

Nice balance of features.

I'm not trusting Texas power grid this year. Glad I decided to go with this larger size and put on a 30A back feed breaker. Powers entire house with all of the basics running; frig, gas furnace blower, lights, 75" TV/amp, computer, including a 1600W microwave that pushed temporary draw up 3200W. Eco mode drops RPM slightly and extends run time. Installed sliding interlock on electrical panel and moved breakers around a little. Plastic insulated shell keeps it relatively quiet. Runs at lower RPM versus smaller generators at higher more annoying RPM.

good back-up

I needed a generator that was reliable and easy to start. I am on oxygen and need to keep the machine going even in a power outage, and also to power the refrigerator and freezer for a long outage. this one seems to meet the requirements that we have.
