It's so quiet!!

I did alot of research online, looked alot of different generators. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 was supposed to be the most quiet with the lowest decibel rating, at the best price. When I got it set up and started up, it was obvious I had made a good purchase. (Oh, BTW, my wife thinks the remote start is cool!) We plan to use this with our new RV and plan to do as much remote "boondocking" as possible. This requires a generator strong enough to run the AC but quiet enough for us to sleep. I think we got it!

Excited to be ready for hurricane season

Very easy set up (I'm a widow and on my own and was concerned about being able to handle it by myself). It's pretty heavy (about 100 lbs.), but I was able to get it out of the box with only a few grunts. The directions were clearly explained for the initial set-up and it even came with the oil needed. I haven't run it yet, but am confident that it'll be exactly what I need.

Fantastic Unit

Our Toy trailer generator went out after 20 years. Bought this to use when remote camping. Very easy to set up and started easily, and very quiet. Will love the remote starter on cold days! Easy to roll with the pull out handle, even wife can move it around.

Great generator with simple design flaw

We bought this generator on 12 March 2019, we looked at this one, Honda and Predator (Harbor Freight). We chose this one for the Company's reputation and quality for over a century, and couldnt justify dropping 4x the price for the same power and features with the Honda name. For the price, this inverter can't be beat. We followed all procedures out of the box and it runs like a dream. Very quiet and fuel efficient. We have used it every weekend since we purchased it boondocking with our 35' RV and it powers everything, including the AC, and only uses maybe 1/4 of the power available. With A/C running, the 3.4 gallons lasts about 10-12 hrs, with no A/C running we average 15-18 hrs... simply incredible. We replaced a pair a Champion 2200s and Im so glad we did. The only reason we give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the design of the architecture for oil changes. While it gives you a small window to quickly and easily add oil, you have to finagle with tools in a very tight and cramped space to remove/insert the oil drain plug which is located on the side of the oil tank instead of the bottom. This causes oil to drip down the side and cause a mess inside the compartment which is extremely hard to clean up. Also the side panel is not easily removable as say the Predator's is. Not a deal breaker, just annoying when you have to change the oil. Overall we love the inverter and would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

Great Features, Loads Of Power And Remote Starting

I just purchased this unit after spending considerable time comparing what was available in the inverter generator market and I have to say I'm pleased with my choice! The package comes with everything you need to get going except fuel. Initial set up was a breeze. After I unpacked the generator I think I had it up and running in well under 5 minutes. Once it was running I was amazed by how quiet is was for a generator of this size. Next I proceeded to test it with my camping trailer and it was able to remotely start it over 30' away and then simultaneously power the AC and the microwave without any indication that it was working hard at all.

Exceeded expectations!

I used this item on a recent camping trip and rain it for 42+ hours straight non stop. It powered my 32’ travel trailer. I ran the a/c the entire time. Also while running the a/c I ran lights, water pump, microwave, coffee maker, baby monitors, sound machine, and charged electric devices. I was on the fence about getting this product as it’s have the price of a Honda. Personally I think it runs just as quite as the Honda. As long as I get 5-10 years use out of this generator I will be happy!

Highest quality and best price... Need I say more

Great product right out of the box. Quality built, easy set up... Add oil, gas, connect battery and you got a great running, extremely quiet, reliable generator. Love the stow away handle. Out of the way when not in use. Purs like a kitten and get an extremely lot long amount of time with one tank.

Great Generator for the value

My brother bought one and we used it for icefishing. 36 below zero and no problem. Remote start is an awesome feature. I was so impressed that I bought one. The digital display is a great feature for telling you how much run time is left on the tank. I am looking forward to using it for camping.

The small of new product

I got the delivery. It is heavy. This is the real deal. Handle and wheels make transport easy. Lifting should be a 2 person deal. I like the smell of fresh gas on the product. It shows it was recently factory tested. Can’t discuss performance yet Planning to run a “porch fest” location. Music event. All day. 4 amps (100 watt tube each), 3 guitars, keyboards, pa, monitors, mixing boards. I totally over bought - but this thing is really nice.
