PERFECT FOR TRAVEL TRAILER

We purchased this unit to power up our travel trailer in the fall of last year but just got around to powering it up this past weekend. We look forward to using it both in the travel trailer and for the house when the power goes out. We love the quietness of this unit and the ease of starting it. Three options to start: Pull chord, push button and remote. As senior citizens, ease of operation is imperative.

Easy Set-up; Great performer

I am delighted with my iGen4500. It was such an east start-up out of the box. I read and watched regarding some having trouble with a choke switch. I didn't have to choke it. Started right up. Ran the 5 hours for the break-in period, and no trouble at all. Very pleased with this unit.

It works great right out of the box

I had no trouble with setting up this piece of equipment. The accessory toolkit was helpful with the funnel included in the kit filling the oil was a breeze! The battery charger is which was included in the toolkit is also a nice feature. I charged the battery over night just to be sure that it had enough of a charge to start the device the next day and test the generator out by hooking it up to my camping trailer. The generator pasted the test with flying colors with plenty of power for my camping needs. The remote start is a godsend for my wife in using the generator. the generator is also markedly quieter than my other generator. The compact size is nice too. My other generator is a Craftsman rated a 5600 running watts and is much larger and more cumbersome so the Li'l Blue as I now call my new generator is just about perfect in everyway as far as a portable power source could be. We my wife and I are looking forward to getting out in the mountains of Montana and doing a lot more camping made more enjoyable with our new power source.

nice product

We purchased this unit last month. It was delivered in a timely manner, all parts were there, and it looked great. We put some fuel into it and it ran perfectly. So far the only sad point for me is the weight of the unit. I am in my seventies and not so strong as I used to be so picking this generator or any generator this size up does not work for me. I purchased a pick up truck rack hoist to lift the generator in and out of my truck. Problem solved. I have no complaints as of this date.

Great Generator out of the box

The generator arrived today in a well packaged box, good packing material and all componets in good working order. Setup was very easy and generator started on the second pull. Battery charged overnight with supplied charger and it starts easily with push button or remote phob. Gen runs very quiet and I like the information panel. We will see how it does on its first real full use on a camping trip. All in all to this point I am happy witht he purchase.

Do not buy..

I purchased an iGen4500 a couple months ago. When l finally got around to trying to fire it up, it would make a loud screeching noise and would not start. I had to take it to an authorized shop, where they had it for 3 weeks, before Westinghouse elected to send out a replacement generator. I went to fire up the new generator, and guess what?!? This one wont start either!! Two generators, and both of them are defective. DO NOT BUY, their products don't work. God forbid I needed it during an emergency, and this thing wont start.

So far so good

Had to wait 3 weeks to receive this item, but so far so good! Well worth the wait, fired up right away and ran my 15k a/c on my camper no problem. One little issue with the plastic case being damaged during the shipping. Overall quiet as advertised!!

Love the way it is set up.

Just received this iGen4500c (one of two) and I love this set up. Poured the oil in, added some gas and hooked up the battery. A flip of the switch, a press of the button and it started right up. It ran smooth as silk immediately. Plugged it all kinds of power tools to vary the load and it did not skip a beat. I ran it for a 30 minute period to begin the break in. I was very happy with how quiet this beast is. Speaks softly and puts out a lot of power. Next I will hook this one to it's brother that I also just received (two of two) with the parallel hook up and run my 5th wheel trailer, which is why I bought two. I have no doubt they will handle everything just like they should. Control panel gives a lot of info, some info you don't notice at first. The fuel gauge and power output percentage are nice LED level gauges on both sides of LED readout gauge. The only two complaints I have is that gas consumption on LED gauge is only in liters and not gallons and that there are some sharp edges around the area where the battery goes. Scratched up my arm well but I have "old man skin".

Best RV generator you can buy

I researched heavily before purchasing, and I believe this generator is the best option for RV owners who want to be able to run their AC and still have power left to run other items in their trailer. It's quiet, has great power output, long runtime without using much fuel. The remote start is awesome, I plan to use it so I can have power without getting out of my camper.
