Very Impressed So Far

I bought this for a quiet generator alternative to a Honda. I am super impressed so far. It started right up after filling the oil and gas. Very quiet, even with the eco mode turned off. I haven't had a load on it yet, but i don't imagine it will get any worse.

Great Features

Just bought this generator and love the features on it. It was between the Champion or this one. The igen4500 has the features like fuel shut off, and a battery charger to maintain the battery. I'm doing through the break in period, hope it last me a long time.

Super Quiet Generator!

We love this generator for our RV, it is super quiet and light weight. We can have it run all night and people around us don't complain about it because it is so quiet. Absolutely love the remote start. We had looked at several generators before buy but so happy we decided to by the Westinghouse iGen4500, great product for the price!

Quiet, Easy to Use, Versatile

Does everything a generator should do, but quieter, easier, and with more versatility. Especially liking the ease of an electric start, onboard USB charging, and its ability to throttle-down for low-load ultra quiet operation and its ability to run electronics directly. All things which are not possible, or more difficult to do via a traditional generator.

Awsome and quite unit!!

I purchaced this unit a month ago and I am so glad I did. Thankfully our weather has not knocked out our power yet but at least I have piece of mind that we are prepaired for when the time comes. Compared to my older open unit this unit is very quite and can handle our esentials when needed.

Excellent generator - value for money

I bought this a week ago to use during emergency situation to ensure operating my key essential devices like sump pump, freezer, fridge, charging mobile phone and wi fi. So i bought this IGen 4500 to have relatively smaller generator, with reasonable weight easy start Manual are very clear , steps of operation are explained simply in several language The generator itself has relatively low sound compared to other generators available in the market You can start the generator through three ways, pull , button or remote control The generator comes with engine oil yet of course you need to buy the gasoline and gasoline stabilizer. Very high quality and operate for 18 hours with one tank fill … highly recommended if u need a reliable generator for emergency situation

Good clean power for a very small quiet unit.

I bought this unit because my father got one and has had it with zero issues and it runs his 30ft rv with no problems at all and quiet enough that you can't even hear it in the trailer at night. They have changed the the face of the unit though and added a power switch that lights up for the battery, I'm guessing for saftey reasons so you don't accidentally start it with the remote. To me that honestly makes the whole electric and remote start kind of useless so I wish I found one of their older units before they added the switch. I guess you could leave it on but if you forget it on for two long that light will eventually fully drain the battery.

Great so far

Started on first try. Runs very quiet. Bought this for home backup power for refrigerator, lights, tv, etc. Have not had the chance to test it fully yet but liking it so far. Remote start is nice as well. Having the pull handle and wheels is really convenient..

Came, Started and Ran ...

We need a generator for occasional power outages in South Texas. So we looked at a number of units and finally decided to buy this unit. The price was almost too good to be true. It came by freight just two days later, we looked up the start-up procedure and had it running in 5 Minutes. We couldn't try it in the house because we needed a converter cable, but we hooked up the house two days later. The genset purred like a kitten and powered everything (not 240 v devices) at around 2500w with ocassional spikes up to 3600w. This generator can easily be moved around by one person, it has sturdy plastic panels and is really quiet. Love it.

It works fine

I'm leaving this review for a free generator cover. It's honest, but I am incentivized. I bought this generator for my travel trailer to power the AC after we were expecting higher than normal temperatures and I had to work. I have a large solar system with a lithium battery but running the AC all day requires more power. I bought this because it was available in Rapid City SD to be shipped to a local retailer. I ordered the iGen4000 but the store shipped the 5000. This generator was able to run my AC while staying below the 50% threshold for the first five hours. I changed the oil at that point and then I was able to run my entire trailer without issue on this. I would switch AC loads from my inverter to the generator and then also charge the battery. The generator is relatively quiet. I hate generators in campgrounds but it was necessary. It has ample capacity to run a 30 amp trailer. Adding and changing the oil is simple. It comes with a screw in funnel and I was lazy and just dumped it back out the same as it went in to change it. The remote start is fine but it requires you leave everything connected and you shouldn't start with a load or shut it down with loads. The battery was dead when I got it and needed to charge. The second time I ran it the electric start worked well. The generator is over 100 pounds though so it is hard to move and get in and out of the truck. I bought the 4000 which is 67 pounds so this is a major drawback. I need the high altitude kit and most manufacturers offer it for free but I haven't found a way to get it from Westinghouse for free. I submitted a request for this via support so we'll see what happens.
