Works Great! Very happy.

I bought this a few days ago and I’ve been putting it through its paces during the break-in. It has performed flawless. I have the gas only version without this electric start and I’m happy I got it cause it’s one less thing that can go wrong. Seems to work great I have no complaints. This is what I expected

Great but late

This unit was bought from a box stores site and delivery was supposed to be 5 days later. It ended up taking 13 days, but thats not on Westhinghouse and instead the shipping company's fault. Since arriving, we have been doing the break in period and its working great. We are going off grid for 8 days next week and that will be the true test, but if how its worked so far is any indication, it will be a flawless trip.

Nice But Small Problem

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.

Great item

Bought this inverter to run travel trailer. When received it ran rough but discovered choke on full choke. Moved , with my finger, to open choke and inverter works as described. Not as quiet as I would have liked but works perfectly I definitely would recommend.

Very happy preppers!

Having weathered an unusual freak winter storm in Texas back in February, we thought lets not get stuck without power ever again. Having been RVers for years we've tried all the generators under the sun. This is the best yet and we're so glad we went with the igen4500. Its solidly made and easy instructions to follow. A quality product for sure. We're hoping to never use it but the Texas power grid is already stressed and we're only 2 weeks into June.

Works well.

I have been using this generator for over a month now for weekends up at some property I own. I have a trailer with a 15000 btu AC unit and the generator handles it fine get overwhelmed when I try turning on the other 13000 btu ac unit as well but I knew it wasn't designed to handle both so no fault to the unit there. I did run into one draw back when I left the generator running for a few hours powering the AC unit in my trailer it just stopped working tried restarting started up for a minute then stopped again. I played with it for a while and finally got it running and what I think was the issue was the ground wasn't perfectly level so just a heads up level the generator. Over all I'm happy with my purchase

Great features but not up to expectations

I bought this to use as both a track and home generator (for a few necessary things when power goes out) and figured 4500 max watts would be sufficient. Unboxing was easy and it was nice that it included a funnel and oil. It was easy to start but my main gripes are that the idle is inconsistent (it surges almost constantly, even with there is no load and nothing plugged in), the display doesn't always show an accurate figure (sometimes shows 0 load/output but items are plugged in and running), and it doesn't seem to be able to handle startup of many things that it should be able to (~1500 watt startup overloads the generator).

Great Generator right out of the box

After a lot of on line research of many generators we picked the Westinghouse iGen4500 for its power output, quiet running, the remote start and because it fit our needs. Worked right out of the box no issues, powered our trailer perfectly and a lot quieter than we expected even under load Only issue is power is in kilowatts and gas tank is in liters but we will live with that

Excellent Camping Buddy

We bought the generator at the beginning of March to use for camping. This unit works as advertised and kicks butt with the push button remote. We were able to conserve time and energy just by clicking the remote button from inside our trailer. Plus over night we didn't have to go outside in the cold to start it. We could just hit the remote for a quick burst of heat instead of running it all night from bed. Not to mention the ease of use, nice gauges on the front to keep track of things. We camped from Friday to Sunday on one tank. It pushed propane for heat, ran a fridge, plus a microwave with no problems. We highly recommend this generator, it will not disappoint you.

Works well so far

Set up was very straightforward and simple. Battery was charged enough to start electronically as delivered and started right up. I don't have a sound meter but after reading how quiet this unit was to be, I felt that it ran a bit noisier than I had expected but certainly acceptable.
