Very quiet igen4500

I have been using Champion generators with my RV and I thought it was a quiet generator. I was quite surprised when I first got this thing and turned it on and I thought it was in the economy mode and expected the RPMs to go up when I turned on the air conditioner and there was no change because it was running in the full on position. This generator on Full Speed sounds like my old champion on idle.

Quiet, plenty of power

I bought this a month ago and used it camping last weekend with our travel trailer. It worked great! Some of the things I loved: stored lots of gas, runs long (8+ hours), trailer AC with fridge only used 50% of the available power, I really like the remaining time counter.

Very pleased, excellent product!!

Runs like a CHAMP! ...leaving worries and concerns behind. I waited months for this item to become available. After reaching out to Westinghouse to see if the item is still in production and would be returning to stock soon, they quickly advised several retailers would be receiving stock in early to mid-September. I signed up to receive alerts when the generator was back in stock and just as advised, in September the generator became available and I jumped on the opportunity. I live in SoCal where SoCal Edison has been cutting the power whenever a fly breaks wind, or as they call it, a PSPS Public Safety Power Shutoff due to Red Flag Santa Ana wind events, and the need for a home backup power source became evident as the shutoffs are more frequent, costly and a burden. The unit arrived in pristine condition and initial setup was simple taking no time at all. SoCal Edison has graciously provided opportunity to use the generator 3 times clocking a total of 100 hours so far. The unit has been reliable, running flawless, excellent run time on fuel, and super quiet compared to my WGen6000 conventional generator. An additional relief is knowing the unit produces low THD, so I have no quarrels powering sensitive devices. I have been impressed with this unit and have been extremely happy. I am so pleased with the unit and how it supports creature comforts that when SoCal Edison calls giving notice power may be restored in 1-4 hours (usually happens in the middle of the night), I (almost) hope they would wait and restore the power at a decent hour when I don’t need to crawl out bed and disconnect the generator in the wee hours of the night. My wife gives the iGen4500 praises upholding continuity as Wi-Fi continues to broadcast keeping her connected, her Hallmark channel is relatively uninterrupted, so Christmas shows remain on schedule throughout the year and her wine remains chilled at the ready. Load: Typically, I have it running at ~25% load supporting 2 refrigerator/freezers (28.0 cu. ft/18.0 cu. ft), 2 cable TV/DVR boxes, broadband and Wi-Fi boxes, 2 TV’s, 2 surround sound systems, a security system hub station, laptop with dual monitors, keyboard and mouse, 4 lights and I can charge a cell phone with no issue. As needed, I plug in either a coffee maker, microwave, or toaster/boiler/air fryer oven, and it would accommodate the load jumping to ~50% load capacity with a slight increase in engine noise. Fuel consumption: Under these conditions (~25% load), I would average ~17-20 hours of run time on a full tank of gas in efficiency mode. Maintenance: The digital control panel is a plus. It is not an absolute necessity, but it makes scheduled maintenance, output monitoring, fuel level, remaining run time, and lifetime run time available in a simple panel. My only comment for an area of improvement is the amount of access space available for maintenance when performing oil changes. The available space is minimal, but you can get the job done. Last note, since I have the iGen4500, I only run my WGen6000 as to not neglect it, keep it in a ready state, and to wake up the neighbors.

Great price

I just set up the generator and it started and ran perfectly so far. Lots of nice features, such as remote start, battery charger while running, etc. The casing doesn't seem too durable, but for the price I can understand that. My thinking is that I can buy three of these and not spend as much as I would on one Honda, even though I am a big fan of Honda products.

Boat Application

After long research of many brands and gas verse diesel, I purchased the iGen4500DF for an installation on my 41' live aboard sailboat. The unit has many safety features and routing of the exhaust in a very safe and secure matter was a breeze! The unit is amazing compared to my older water cooled diesel generator! I would highly recommend this unit to anyone wanting safe, quiet and smart generator. It would also be excellent for an RV application. I originally ordered the DF version, but was shipped the non-propane model, however I did end up keeping the gas only model. Although I don't have the flexibility of two fuels, I am very satisfied. Keep in mind this unit is not some traditional break out the generator for a storm every 5 years generator. This is one that's made to use for long runs and operate sensitive equipment such as computers. I run my A/C reverse cycle AC unit, refrigeration, digital battery charger and other digital systems and it works so great!

Inexpensive but good!

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I'm so happy I did. I now have peace of mind knowing that I will be prepared the next a winter storm hits and we are left without electricity for a week. From the other reviews that I've seen, I should be well prepared.

Love it

I bought this on 4/5 and it showed a couple days later. It fire up when i put oil and gas in it the very first time. I took it camping and had issues with the choke like most of these have I took it home and tore into and found the plug behind the control panel wasn't routed correctly,rerouted over top of the loom and works perfectly.

Very complete accessories package

I just got the initial set up completed and I am very pleased with the included accessories. A funnel, tool kit and the engine oil. Just had to add gas. The unit seems to have some stress marks in the plastic and it does make an “unusual” rattle under load. I am boing the break in time now and I’ll see if anything changes. Slightly louder than I expected but not a deal killer. I love the electric/remote start.
