After reading reviews of good and bad, and watching YouTube videos if I happen to get one with the Choke issue I decided to order one ,just like a lot of reviews said choke comes unplugged in shipping I had that happen to me, wouldn't start so pulled sides off plugged choke wire back in and boom fired right up and no problems since, runs everything on rv and very quiet. Glad I made purchase

This generator, made in Vietnam, is well thought out with lots of nice features. Started right up using the remote after turning over maybe 6 times. Ran for 5 hours on 1 gallon of gasoline with loads varying from 0 to 50% of capacity. After that break in run it ran both RV (50 amp service) air conditioners and the electric water heater and indicated 75% of capacity. Comes with a funnel that threads into the dipstick/oil fill port, spark plug wrench and screwdriver. The 10mm drain plug is a little difficult to get at and there is a positive lead (with a red rubber cover) very close that one needs to be cognizant of. A 4” long open end wrench works. The oil drains into a containment area with its own press in rubber drain plug which prevents oil running everywhere. I changed the oil at 5 hours and there were minute metal flakes in it. I’ll change it again at 10 hours to see if there is still metal in the oil. This is the first gasoline or diesel engine I have purchased in decades that has a published break in period. It only runs at the rpm that is required to provide the amp demand so with no load it idles which reduces fuel consumption and overall noise. With the engine running with no load I measured the decibel level at 10’ directly in line with the exhaust with an app on my iPhone and it indicated 67. it doesn’t seem to get much louder with a load but it does increase somewhat. Measuring decibels is very subjective so take that for what it’s worth. It has a very low tone and I can say I can stand within 10’ and carry on a conversation without raising my voice. Only use will prove it’s reliability and durability but so far it seems to be a good machine.

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.

Bought this generator for the wildfire control power outages here in N. Cal. Unit works as advertised and I am very pleased with the generator. Very quiet and long running and the remote start is handy. Have run it a total of about 50 hours and it handled all the loads fine.

After considerable research, this Westinghouse product is EXACTLY what I have been searching for. After receiving it and using it, it has far exceeded my expectations. Truly an incredible piece of equipment for a very reasonable price. I could not be happier!!

I just received my unit 2 day's ago, unpacked it, read the manual & prepped it & added oil. Started right up, I ran a flood light for about a half an hour so I could get familiar with the controls. It ran a 120 watt work flood with virtually zero pull. The usage guage is really nice. Its nice to have 3 starting options, remote start with key fob, button on generator or pull start if all else fails. I will find out more about the dependability when I use it in our RV, but I'm pretty certain this is about as nice as they come. I personally will recommend it, I wish it was made in the USA and I'm not crazy about it being made in China, but what's not these day's.

The wife and I just bought our first a new Travel Trailer. Graduated from a Tent Trailer. We needed a Generator that would not only meet the power needs of our trailer, but would be allowed within the National Parks. This Generator meets those needs as well as it's 1/3 the price of similar competitive models. I won't mention names but the initials are H and Y.... Right out of the box, I filled the oil, gas and connected the battery, started up on first pull, and the electric stat with remote. I am very please and would recommend Westinghouse's iGen line to all future Campers.

this is way quieter than i had even hoped. it is indeed everything they said it would be and more. simple to operate and maintain. well thought out peice of machinery. it was worth the wait to get it and i can see why it is sold out all the time. it is awesome!! thanks so much for superb engineering!!

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.

We have been very happy with our generator! ! We did have an issue with the carburetor right out of the box & had to take it in for service. Our service guy told us this is a common issue with most generators as they test them in the factory & often fuel is left in the carburetor & gunks up during shipping/storing. He recommended using only non-ethanol fuel which we have found out (the hard way) that this does seem to be the best way to keep from having issues. It runs quietly (for a generator) & powers our 16" camper perfectly!
