Excellent, would purchase again

I bought this in July, prior I had a Honda IE2000 with whisper quiet mode. When our camper got bigger so did our power needs but we didn't want anything really loud. After buying this I'm beyond impressed the quality is great, easy to lift and move with the wheels as well as the remote on off. But most importantly it's QUITER then the Honda was with more then double the power.

great for camping

User-friendly, reliable and definitely made to last a lifetime. They cost just as much as any of the top leading brands but have a reputation that other brands can never match up to. Not always the innovator but definitely a good solid brand name to go with, Westinghouse is a safe bet.

After 4-5 years

Excellent generator, bought during Covid time frame, use this for a remote weekend cabin on and off, in the summer I use for 2 ac’s and a cpap , machine and basic stuff . Sometime it stays in for 24-48 hrs even 72 hrs. Switched to synthetic oil early on.and change oil regularly between 60-80 hrs or when dirty which in the summer is 1x a month . Only issues I’ve had : oil changes are messy, it drains to the plate under it where there is a drain plug which allows you to drain to a oil pan, but it’s still messy and sometimes oil comes out when you think you got oil out later after running it , not best design, push button starting issues after a crap Tom of hrs in it ( not all the time ), still need to trouble shoot BUT after 5 yrs it could be the button , the starter. Rarely use the pull cord, only if if super cold in the teens and the old start choke don’t work after it tried to start by push button. It has a cold start and RPM’s will raise higher if it’s super cold for a few minutes then drop down.I’ve used this on a ext cord to run lights to another cabin probably 150ft-250 ft away on eco mode more than what was suggested to do with no issues for a while. Great gage showing how many hrs left based on load and fule in tank.forgot I had to re tie a “ not” in the pull cord handle .. Over all very reliable inverter with zero repairs.

Very Quiet

We needed a quiet generator option for our rv. After much research we decided this was the generator for us. It did not disappoint. We can have a conversation right next to the generator and don't have to raise our voices. We are happy and so are our neighbors!

Exactly As Described

It is exactly what I expected ... decently built and very quiet. Started right up after putting in gas,oil and connecting battery.. Runs very smooth and starts easy, can't even hear it .. had lots of power .. the oil will overflow if you use all of the bottle like it says ..very satisfied so far

Easy set up & fired right up

Bought as backup for on board Onan 4000. Have owned 3 new RVs & all Onans fail during warranty and then again out of it. Have one more race untill summer break and then can get it to shop/ and hope its back in 9 weeks. Had Generac in motor home for 9.5 years & never any issues with my personal routine service. Ran iGen inverter 15M and then for 2 hours with 15K A/C on. Showed 50% with compressor running &big drop when compressor is off (on energy saver) and r.p.m drops. Will know more about capabilities after next 3 day use. It is a little louder than other inverters I have observed at races but quiter than Champion 4000/3500 generator. 50 hour oil changes will be a drawback but only holds .6 quart of oil. Guess that makes it necessary.

Worked as expected iGen4500

Purchased the inverter from HD on 4/4/2019, delivered on 4/9/2019. Took it out the box and filled with oil as instructed, added gas and she started right up. Got this for our RV that has a 15K ac. Ran it for about 2 hours trying to put a 25% load on it but could, I would have to run everything in the RV. Ran the heater but didn't get to 25%.

Smart Buy

This inventor was purchased prior to Hurricane Florence. Although we did not have to use it for a long period, it was easy to set up and start. It ran quietly and clean. I powered more appliances and electronics then expected. It ran for over 10 hours on one tank of gas. Highly recommended. Ian

Very Pleased with the Generator Features

The iGen5000c generator was purchased following a massive windstorm that left us without power for nearly three days. It arrived well packaged, and setup was easy. Instructions were clear and once the battery was connected, oil and fuel added, it ran smoothly from the start. I have yet to put much of a load on it but so far, I am quite pleased with the IGen5000c.

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).
