Great features

We are very happy with our purchase. It is much quieter than our previous generator. Extra features are remote start and electric start, so much easier than pulling the handle to start, which is no problem for my husband. Has a battery charger included and a pour funnel for the oil, they seem to have thought of all the conveniences to make the operation easy.

Long, Quiet Operation

We finally got to take this out on a dispersed camping trip. We took 6 gallons of gas, but only put 1 gallon in to start off with. At the rate we used it, the 1 gallon lasted the three days and ran quietly. Although we didn't run equipment long, it ran our 15,000 BTU AC unit, charged the battery, and ran the accessories. It ran quiet enough that the people around didn't complain. Loved the remote start. I didn't think I would need it, but it was really handy. Would definitely buy again, just need to see how long it lasts.

Overall Excellent Generator

I shopped around and purchased this generator. I am very glad I did. The features it has are amazing. My plans of using it for my RV needs are easily met. I can also use it in the event of a home blackout to keep essentials going. It is very quiet, in fact one of the quietest generators I have heard. The digital display takes all the guess work out of the generator. The push button start is a very cool feature. This generator is excellent. My next purchase will be another to parallel to power virtually my whole house in the event of a blackout.

Right Out of the Box Easy as 1,2,3

We received delivery of our generator today. We watched videos prior to purchase and yes...we read the manual too. The generator started up after two attempts oon the electric start. After that it started with just one push. We carried on a conversation standing next to the generator without having to raise our voices. Decibels was a main consideration in purchasing this generator. We plan to use to power our 5th wheel camper. We have one A/C unit. My wife and I are able to lift it as well. That was another consideration over other heavier models. Nice panel display.

Great Generator

Purchased to replace an old, very heavy and loud generator. Ease of operation of the iGen4500 is awesome. It is so much quieter. Perfect for use in the city. Electric start and remote start options are wonderful. I a very happy with this generator.

Not 30 amp RV Ready

This generator stopped working after 6 uses. Westinghouse will not warranty they said they googled it and I overloaded the inverter module on the generator with my 30 amp RV 15000 BTU which is on a 15 amp breaker. I did a video and shared it with them, and on start up amps only went to 27.6 for less than a second then dropped to 10.8 amps while using a 3500 watt Briggs & Stratton generator That I normally use with my RV. I also provided them with correct info from the A/C manufacture. This is what the manufacture said (The compressor will only pull locked rotor amps if the compressor is locked up, and if that were the case the compressor would pull locked rotor amps every time it tries to start. Normally when the compressor is starting it will pull 2 to 2 ½ times what the RLA state on the data sticker for the first split second and then drop back down to the running load amps it is rated at.) This is exactly what my video showed. (Sorry I'm not able to, load my video on this review. The Specifications info on website is very misleading also no wear in manual or website does it talk about or show any information on what locked rotor amps the generator is rated for, but this is the reason they will not warranty.

Nice Generator!

I got this a month ago and got it all ready to go ,and turned the gas on and it started leaking gas onto my bench. On inspection, who ever put the clamp on the fuel line to the on off switch , tore the hose at the connection. I cut that section off and had enough hose left to reconnect and problem solved. Used it on our camper last weekend and it worked flawlessly, and quietly. Love it!!!

Reliable, Tough, and best of all quiet

I bought this generator as off grid power for my travel trailer, after seeing how well one performed on my son's 1' sailing catamaran. We both have put these generators through some tough conditions and harsh environments. We also service and maintain our equipment well. But these things are just plain tough. One of the best purchases either of us has made. I would highly recommend the iGen4500 to anyone who needs tough, reliable portable power.

Very nice & easy for my husband to handle alone.

We are big NASCAR fans and it will go with us to all races & all other camping trips that we have to be self contained. One question please...my husband wanted the generator cover & it didn't give me an option for it as a free gift. Can I get it instead of the power strip? Thank you.

Perfect for RV Lifestyle

Purchased to accompany us on our RV trips and it is PERFECT. Easy to get set-up and even easier to use. We are novice and this is our first generator so we were worried about it being complicated but it is VERY EASY! Dual fuel is a wonderful feature but our favorite is the REMOTE START!
