I purchased this about a month a go. Started up right away and so far is working very good as a power source for a camper trailer. Very quiet operation and it seems to use very little fuel. The only disappointment is that there was a bonus cover offered upon registration if a review was done. When I registered the bonus cover was no longer available.

Contrary to some beliefs there is nothing wrong with this generator. Received it 26 June 2021 added oil and gas on the 27th it started right up and purred like a kitten very quiet even when not on Econ mode. Nothing wrong with the electric choke like others have said. Only thing that ticked me off was the side panel on the side where you check the oil received a crack on shipping. Westinghouse shipped me a new one the very next day after i reported it to them. The only issue will be removing the handle bolt holding the side cover on it is extremely tight used an impact and it still will not come loose i told Westinghouse someone tightened it too tight at the factory.This generator is unbelievable quiet have to hear to believe. I tested it with an electric drill on Econ mode no problem also a 500 watt work light the engine did not even speed up and the percentage meter did not even move. It should pull a 15,000 BTU RV air conditioner no problem.

Set up was very straightforward and simple. Battery was charged enough to start electronically as delivered and started right up. I don't have a sound meter but after reading how quiet this unit was to be, I felt that it ran a bit noisier than I had expected but certainly acceptable.

I read a lot of reviews with many mixed opinions. i decided to buy this generator because no other brand offers comparable power while maintaining the super quietness this generator offers. I had no issues upon opening and the generator started right up- electric start, manual start, and remote start!

I bought this to power my fifth wheel trailer. Very please with the ease of use and start up. from the inside of the fifth wheel trailer I can barely hear the generator running it’s so quiet. I shopped around the other brands and they could not compete to the all-around ease-of-use, quiet, starting options, price point and reliability.

Having done lots of on-line searching and comparing, iGen4500 came out on top of my list for brand and model. It appears to be of sturdy build, works (almost) as advertised, and has some great extra features. Sadly, they have still not fixed the choke issue, nor the illuminated power-on switch. And just to nit-pick, they should have spared a couple more inches to the battery connect wire. Old, arthritic fingers can barely get into the limited space. And the hold-down for the battery strap clip isn't notched enough (molded plastic flaw), the clip doesn't stay firm. Again, not really complaining, just mentioning. On the cool side; The Amazon ad didn't even showcase the retractable pull bar! Completely out of the way until needed, pulls out like a suitcase on wheels. The oil service funnel screws into the oil fill port preventing spillage. There's enough space in the battery area to store the funnel, rag, spark plug wrench, etc, and an extra bottle of oil. Gotta love the control panel. Digital read-out gives more info than others, and all info is useful. (Voltage, Load %, Watts, Fuel level, Remaining run time, and Total hours. Now we'll see how well it holds up. Again, I'm very happy with it so far. I'm looking forward to Westinghouse's fix or at least workarounds for the choke and ignition light.

Note.. when received and first started the auto choke didn't work, after some research I found it had was disconnected.took apart a couple panels re plugged it fired right up. Put some liquid tape on the connection so it shouldn't happen.. other than that it runs my 15 k ac/ microwave ,electric furnace all at once. Sipping was prompt, arrived in good shape, happy so far. Changed oil after fifteen minutes break in, then 15 hrs later, oil was black. I'm thinking that's the limit for me, oil change piece of cake. Thx Mark

I just setup the generator with no problems. I've purchased this to replace a 25 year old Honda that I use with our 5th wheel camper. I particularly like the weight and the handles for getting it off and on my truck. I'm looking forward to using it in the next couple of days.

My husband did ALOT of research on generators before deciding on this one. We were lucky enough to get one before they sold out, they were hard to find anywhere in the middle of June! This generator is great, and super quiet. The best part is the remote control. I can start it and turn it off from inside our camper trailer!

We have a decent amount of power outages here - last one was 36 hours - and with little kids, pets, etc, it's nice to have a backup. I can also see this being useful camping. I had no problems with the unit. It was delivered straight to the house. I unboxed it, followed the instructions for adding oil, gasoline, and connecting the battery, and it started right up. I haven't had a real power outage since it arrived, but I've tested it out on shop lights and other tools - no issues whatsoever. It is easy to maneuver with the wheels and handle. Not too loud when running. Overall I am glad I bought this and wish I had done it earlier! A coworker of mine has the same one and he loves it. My parents also have the same one and they had it connected to a transfer switch at their house. So far everyone I know (including myself) who has this unit is pleased.
