I recently purchased the iGen 4500 and quickly had to get it out of the box to review. It is a very reasonable size and will fit well into our travel trailer. It has a good deal of output to run everything we will use in out travels as well. It has a good size gas tank and when I started it up, it is really quiet compared to some generators I have heard running in campgrounds. When comparing other generators, it is a great bargain for the power, quietness and modern technology it has. I really am glad I made this purchase.

I cannot say enough good things about our new purchase. We looked for a few weeks, reading reviews and eventually decided on this one - and we couldn't be happier! It is quiet, efficient, and started on the first pull. We will be using it to provide power for outdoor concerts with our band, for camping, power equipment outdoors, and emergency power during outages. Thank you for designing and manufacturing such a great product!

I got this unit because my other one is worn out. It is used mostly for dry camping and as a back up at my home. I have had it for several days at this time. I got it because of all the good reviews and hope it lives up to them. I set it up as told and had no trouble with it. The unit started up on the first try with the remote start and even after setting awhile it was a easy start with the pull start. I allowed it to run for a little while before putting a small load on it and not trouble. Later I pluged up my camper to it and it had not trouble running everything in it. So as of now i can say I believe it to be a great unit and will do the job of other higher price units. The only problem I have is it is a little louder that I hoped but it is still quit enough that it will be no problem when camping . Yes I will recommend this to anyone that needs a good unit.

Bought this last week, at 105lbs, it was larger than expected but starts super easy. Comes with a bottle of oil and a screw-in funnel so be sure to add oil before starting as it comes empty. Funnel worked really well. All in all, a pretty quiet unit with a ton of versatility. Small enough to fit in the back of a small SUV and I can lift it alone but recommend using a helper. It does have handles on the bottom as well as the top.

We purchased this generator as a dual purpose unit. When we travel with our travel trailer and if we lose power at home. It's perfect for our needs and will run EVERYTHING in the RV and every essential item in the house. Upon arrival, setup could not have been easier. Read the instructions, filled with oil and fuel, connected the battery and started it up. Incredibly easy and very quiet. My wife and I were able to have a normal conversation with the generator running within 20ft. A little disappointed with what appears to be rust around the gas tank opening. Brand new unit and rusty around the fuel? Not comforting. The only thing we could hope for would be a lighter unit. at 98lbs it's heavy, although easily managed with two people lifting it into my truck. It can be done solo, but having a friend is much easier. So far, we love the generator and would definitely buy it again.

I received the unit a few days ago. After set up it started immediately and ran well for 5 hours of break-in. Unfortunately, the choke sticks so I must remove the access cover to adjust the choke each time so the generator will start. My expectation is that this issue will be fixed so I can use the generator for camping with my trailer. The features of this generator make it convenient to use and service and the power is just right for our needs. Once repaired I will submit a revised review.

Purchased 1 month ago. Started for the first time and all of the gas ran out the bottom onto my driveway. This generator is very quiet, easy to operate and appears to be well made. Disappointed in the quality control and am requesting a replacement.

HARD STARTING WITH PULL CORD, MAYBE BECAUSE IT USES THE FUEL UP WHEN CUTTING OFF

I read all the reviews and decided to pull the trigger, picked it up today and it's a balmy 31 out. Added oil & fuel, hooked up the battery and hit the go button! And it fired right up! Sounds great and ran a test tool just fine. Pretty happy at the moment, hopefully it holds up well over the long term.

I am a mechanic and an electrician. The remote start/stop was (and is) very appealing. However, I feared a remote start meant an automatic choke that could fail. I read several accounts of others with the iGen4500 that, right out of the box, sputtered for a minute then stop, which meant shipping the genny to Westinghouse, and waiting 2-weeks without their genny. I wondered if these problems would be related to the automatic choke not working. Indeed, they were. Mine did the same thing. I went through the setup, started it, which sputtered for a minute then stopped. It was not going to restart. It sounded like the "automatic" choke was stuck closed. I opened up the side panel but didn't see anything that looked like a choke. Finally, I googled "iGen4500 choke problems". Score! Westinghouse had issued a service bulletin about this very issue. It showed how to manually move the choke (panel removal required), and presto -- it ran normally! The bulletin called this a temporary solution. "Step 2" was their "permanent solution", which required removing two more side panels (nearly 20 screws) and reattaching a harness that they predicted had become unconnected. Sure enough, it was disconnected. I reconnected it, buttoned it all back together, and now it works like it should. The connector makes a positive latch, so I don't believe this happened in shipping. No doubt it wasn't fully connected a the factory. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. Otherwise, I'm now happy. It is surprisingly quiet. Plenty of power for my Airstream. The remote works, Gauges are nice. Get one.
