Igen4500

Haven't used it much yet but it seems to runs fine when it's going. Fairly quiet, not as smooth running as others. It is a little slow to start however which I think may be related to the choke issue. I think it would benefit from a better choke design.

Very pleased so far.

We just picked our purchase up today and started it and was very easy to set up and getting it running, easy to start, looking forward to using it with our camper. I believe this was a great purchase for us, My husband did a lot of research on this model before we purchased it, Very quiet running,

Auto choke problem

This generator checked all the boxes for me including wireless starting, quiet, large fuel tank. Because of my extensive research I was well aware of the problem with the auto choke. Since I am capable of fixing it, I went ahead and bought it. Mine did have the problem with the disconnected auto choke wire as well as my connector was broke. After I fixed the connector the generator ran fine. I did the proper break in which includes installing a magnetic oil dipstick and running the generator under various loads drain oil and repeat. The pictures below show the metal particles that were collected by the magnetic dipstick during the break in. Look forward to many years of service.

Great Features most favor it the remote start

so far for the size of it very quite I have only ran in my garage but it is going a base camp in Mackey ID and I will have to purchase the high altitude kit but at lest they told me this instead of not getting the full power out of the machine. It will work great gets great reviews and I will add pic's at base camp. I love the fact 3 ways to start it but most favor it is remote start I can be inside the wall tent and start a pot of coffee.

hardly any noise

I brought and received the IGEN4500DF yesterday, and minor assembling, run it for about 30 min on propane and flip the switch to gas for 30 mins. Using the fab it started right up, will continue the test tomorrow - so far like everything,, could not get the correct fuel level,, must have to start from a full tank .. noise is at a minimum

Great Generator!

Love the look, the weight and the features! I added the oil (included) and added gas, and whalah I started it right up with my fob, then with push button start, then with 1 pull. Started right way and was soooo quiet! I love it almost as much as I love my new Camper that I bought this for

Nice and quiet

Bought it to run concession equipment and was surprised at how quiet it is. Electric start is nice with a fob. Looking forward to hooking it up to the new machine and see how hard we can push it. Tote handle tucks away nice. Auto idle downPretty impressed so far with it.

Quiet, lightweight generator

This is light enough for one person to pick up, but has a nice handle. The features are nice including the remote start. It runs quietly and smoothly. We haven’t used it long term yet, but are expecting to like this generator. Only gave it a 4 out of 5 because we can’t say from personal experience how this will hold up, but we have read plenty of great reviews and expect the iGen4500 to meet or exceed our expectations.

Well done user interface

Ample power, well presented and very convenient features. My application is residential emergency power with slightly over 2 KVA required so the iGen4500 was my choice to have some reserve capacity, the 30A connector and correct user interface. One connector to my distribution system and done.

Great generator for the value

I have sold many brands of generators over the years including the Onan 4500 which is basically the same as this Westinghouse 4500. The Onan was a great trouble free generator so I could not pass this up for the cost of the Westinghouse versus the Onan. Put the oil and fuel into the generator and if fired right up with the remote, couldn't be happier with the purchase.
