Working perfectly

Everything arrived fine. Filled up and hit the remote start button and it started 1st time! Pulls 11A well pump while my 10A heat pump, some lights, a 3.5A dehumidifier are already running. Performing exactly as I would hope. Note that this unit is quieter than my Champion Power 3100W gen at every load from 0 to 100%. This report is with about 95 hours so far in an RV setting.

Looks good

New purchase and just received. Well packaged and no issues to date. After reading the user manual I ordered and just received the high altitude kit(s), one for the regulator and second for the carburetor. Changing out the regulator nozzle is a simple procedure while the carburetor jet will be a little more work, just haven't had time to install it yet. But judging by the available online video it's a very straight forward procedure and I'm not anticipating any issues. All is going well so far.

Liked the way the unit looks.

Researched several generators before deciding on this one. Started it up when I got it home and was quite pleased with the quietness of the unit. I am impressed with the features it has and the ease of use. I hope to have this unit for a long time. Primary use will be for camping, but it will make a great backup for power outages.

So far so good

I set up engine and started motor. Motor did not come up to speed. Smoked a lot. I have seen many reviews about issues with the choke, so I pulled the side panel off and checked operation of the choke. It was stuck closed.. I manually opened it and the generator ran just like it should. i ran it for about 4 hours with about 1500 watt load and all went well. I downloaded the Service Bulletin on the choke cable issue. I followed the instructions, pulled the front panel and reconnected the dangling connector. Put everything back together and watched the choke operate as the motor was starting and all was good. I am going to use this for power outages and I have every belief that it will perform as advertised when the time comes.

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

iGen4500 - Great Product!

My wife purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500 for me as a Christmas gift. I found the manual to be very comprehensive regarding setting up, operating, and maintaining the generator. The engineering and design of the generator are impressive. Access to critical maintenance areas is easy and convenient. The push button electric start and remote start features are game changers. This unit is replacing two Yamaha 1600 watt generators we use for RV camping. Although the wet weight of the iGen4500 is over 100lbs, its roller-board style wheel system makes it easy to move the generator on the ground. With moderate effort, my wife and I together can lift the generator in and out of the bed of my truck. I would recommend this generator for those that need up to 3700 running watts in a single generator.

Excellent Product

Received this product twos before the estimated date, very nice. Box in good condition, no missing parts. The only issue is the battery in the generator seems to be dead or needs to be recharged. I still plan to investigate, but with that said pulled the cord once and it started with no issues.

Initial Review

This is my initial review as I just received the inverter generator and haven't had a chance to really try it out. First impression is that it is a decently made unit but can definitely see why it sells for so much less than comparable Honda or Yamaha units. The plastic side panels showed signed of having been flexed during assembly or shipping and some were scratched. This isn't a big deal as I intend to use the unit to power my travel trailer and it is going to take some wear and tear over time. After adding oil and gas, the engine started up right away using the manual start. Upon starting, it was obvious something wasn't quite right as the engine was running rough and very rich. Upon investigation I discovered that the auto choke control wires had come unplugged in transit. I plugged in the wires but have not had a chance to retest as it's 2am and I don't think my neighbors would appreciate a running generator, no matter how quiet. I will update this review as I put more time and testing into the unit. Overall, I would say Westinghouse could have a great product for the price point if they would improve the quality control at assembly.

So far, so good

Just received a few days ago and very happy so far. Charged the battery for a few hours with the included charging cord, poured the oil and fuel in and it fired right up. Let it run for a while to gently break it in and ran great with no issues. Pretty quiet for a generator, also.
