As Advertised and more!!!!

I did alot of research on generators and inverter generators. This was the best i thought of all on the market. Super quiet, can have a normal conversation with someone standing right next to it! Super powerful, and easy to move. Thanks WestingHouse!!! Thomas

Runs After Disassembly and plugging in Choke cable

I bought this a couple months ago and have used it a few times. Runs good. Came without a plug inside the engine unplugged somehow. After nearly returning it I searched the internet and found it's a common problem - took about 20 screws out, found the unplugged choke cable, reassembled and it works good now.

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!

Runs quiet

Purchased about 2 mos ago for camping, it was the quietest generator in camp ground & has all the features I need . The only problem I had was to remove right cover to connect carburetor automatic choke wire as mentioned in most reviews( definitely a production problem ). It starts up and runs great so far. This generator will work fine to run my house for what I need.

Short lifespan

I bought this in may of 2023 to use with our camper. Last trip it suddenly shut off. Checked fuel, has fuel, air filter clean, changed spark plug, it cranks over but won’t fire up. Trying to go through warranty process now so who knows how long this will take.

Compact, quiet

I have had a Briggs & Stratton 5500 Watt Storm Responder for years. LOUD. The iGen4500 sound is so low that you can actually talk to someone right next to the unit while it is running without yelling. Perfect for campers to run the AC. The remote start is such a bonus.

Good so far

Using it for my camper for occasional boondocking as well as for occasional work where no power is available or during power outages at home. So far runs my 15K BTU A/C with no problem at 50% load, noise is about what I expected. Only had it for a day but it will be used heavily this coming weekend at a NASCAR race. The fit and finish of the plastic panels does not seem to be very good but that is minor as long as there are no other issues.

Works well

We are very happy with this purchase. The only issue we had with it is that the instructions said to dump the whole bottle of oil into it, but when we did it overflowed and made a big mess. Other than that, we had no issues. It is quiet and ran well in our driveway for 30 minutes. We look forward to bringing it camping with us.

Great generator for me

Two of my fellow campers have the iGen400 and are very happy with them. They both use theirs to run the AC's and electrical appliances in their travel trailers I finally made the plunge and got me one too. It worked right out of the box. The auto choke worked great on the first start. Can't wait to use it in the woods without getting out of the RV. The remote start will make my morning coffee that much better.
