I got this a few weeks ago and it was simple to set up and had it running and making electricity in 15 minutes or so. Runs quietly, just as I had hoped and has nice display to show how much fuel is left as well as how much power it is generating. Really like that it has an eco mode so that it only makes as much power as needed. Idles a lot (quiet) to do what I need. Very happy so far.

I just received my generator very well packaged. It was easy to remove from box, has all the tools, oil and accessories. The pull out extendible arm and wheels makes it easy to roll and I am a 125lb woman! Plan this weekend will start it all by myself....

We bought this to replace our larger 7000 Honda it’s as quiet as the large one and compact it runs our air conditioner and coffee maker at the same time that’s a big plus we do a lot of dry camping I’m by myself sometimes and it’s easy for me to load and unload whereas I could not the 7000 I had to depend on someone else I love this little thing

I’ve had my eye on this generator for quite some time. My current Powerhorse generator finally gave up so I ordered this Westinghouse iGen 4500. After adding oil and a splash of gas, it fired up within seconds. The remote start works great. I’m looking forward to my first weekend outing on our home made houseboat to see how this really performs.

Operating this generator requires choke adjusting. Unfortunately, the choke is behind the side panel which requires removing five bolts. Phillips head bolts that will ware over time. So, poor design in this regards. The choke should be assessable without removing the side panel. Also, the remote on/off FOB is simpley a marketing bell with no whistle. When the generator is remotely shut down. You will still need to go to the generator and manually shut off the battery so you don’t waste battery power. And, you will need to close the gasoline valve so the engine does not flood. Other than those design flaws, the generator works well, as hoped, for the moment. Stay tuned.

There is a known problem and I had read about it so I was aware of it with the choke. Sure enough when it arrived and I put the battery and oil in then tried to start it. It would not start!! After I took the sides off and put the wire clip back on it fired right up and runs great!!

Our iGen4500 generator arrived today and we began breaking it in by carefully following the provided instructions, which were simple and easy to follow. The generator started easily and ran well. The features on this generator are great. We especially like the remote start and stop capability and the data provided via the digital display. The capability of this generator, e.g. the power output and the runtime, is exceptional. This is a great value. No buyer's remorse here. We look forward to using it on new adventures with our RV (travel trailer). We also appreciate the new peace of mind in being able to keep critical appliances running during a home power outage.

Got my iGen5000 a month ago and I've put 15 hours on it so far. Works just as advertised, and I love the key fob start/stop. Only problem is the fuel gauge consistently reads about 40% the actual amount of fuel. Other gauges in the data readout that use the fuel gauge also affected.

I bought the invertor about 3 weeks ago after the rolling blackouts and power outages in Texas during a deep freeze event. I don't want to be caught without power again. Runs 2 portable heaters and lights with no problem. I also plan to use it as backup power for my RV.

Worked fine right out of the box. My biggest complaint would be to relocate the carrying handles further to the sides of the generator if possible. Being a bit aged the gen isn't the lightest for two to carry. Handles closer to the edges would make it easier. Also there isn't alot of black top/concrete where we use the generator making the small wheels basically drags in softer terrain. Bigger wheels would help drastically.
