All the Right Features!

The size if perfect to run both my RV and use for back up power at the house during a power outage. The remote start was the main feature I was looking for while searching for the right generator. Fuel efficiency, quite operation and safe for sensitive electronics are a huge bonus one gets with an inverter generator. Westinghouse got it right!

Outstanding Quite Generator

I purchased this inverter generator to supplement my red 2000i inverter because it just doesn't have the muscle we needed as full-time RV'ers. I am happily surprised by this generator. It is just as quiet as my previous inverter and has more than twice the starting power. I followed the Quick Start Guide to the letter and it was easy, no issues, and the iGen4500 ran on the very first try with the remote fob in less than 10 minutes from unboxing. I completed the 20-hour oil change and it had only minor signs of metal or debris in the oil. I have not had it loaded past 40% but when connected, my multimeter indicates a stable 121 VAC and the engine seems to get less loud the more it runs. I really love the remote start and the value of this unit is excellent. It arrived in perfect condition and is exactly what I expected based on my research. This is not a small generator. It is easily over 115 pounds with fuel in the tank, so understand your limits in this regard. The collapsible handle and wheels make rolling it into place an easy task. The size of this inverter makes lifting it into the bumper mounted tray a task for two normal folks or one very strong person. It will easily start my 13.5K air conditioner and run normal items such as the battery charger/converter, the coffee pot or even our air fryer, but everything has a limit and you should still be careful loading this genset at a safe level in it's recommended range.

Best Generator/investor ever!

I have been RVing for years. Mostly dirt Sprint Car races. you have to “dry camp” most of the time. NO hookups! Have gone thru numerous generators in 30 yrs. noisy, hard to start etc. I’m getting old. The features on this generator, electric start etc , powers my RV including AC (Ever gone USAC racing in Indiana in July? AC is a must!!). The happiest of been in years. Quiet, great power, and oh yeah the electric start make this a true gem! And considerably cheaper than its most renown “quiet” competitor. Actually have had folks who own some generator made by some Japanese motorcycle Company state “they wish they had known about this product”. Totally happy, completely satisfied, thrilled beyond belief! Oh yeah, electric start and great run time on a tank of fuel!!!

great features remote and dual fuel

running fine -- no problems -- starts every time -- running on propane so far -- keeps everything clean --could be a little easier to get to some of the parts -- but i guess thats what keeps the sound down -- like it better than the Honda -- waiting to see how long it last

So Quiet!

Our old generator was incredibly loud and kept tripping when trying to power the AC in our RV. A friend had the iGen4500 and I was shocked at how quiet it was. We are still in the break-in period so I haven't tried powering our AC yet, but when camping with said friend, it powered theirs without issue.

Starts easy!!

Was just delivered today. Only took a few minutes to set up and started up right away. Got this due to having remote and push button start for my disabled wife. Love the remote. Only recommendation is maybe make the oil funnel threaded for the oil bottle also.

OverAll an Excellent Generator ... But ....

When I unboxed and setup the Gen it wouldn't start. I researched and found that it was a common problem with this Gen. One of the cables was NOT plugged in. Westinghouse needs to do better QUALITY CONTROL. They have an Excellent Product but the People Assembling it are lacking.

Super Quiet, max power

I recently purchased this generator after selling a larger Honda that I used to take camping. This generator is as quiet as any generator I have ever been around. The detailed electronic dash/panel has all connections you could possibly need including two USB ports.

Previous big red owner

This generator is just as quiet as my Hond@ 3000 was but way more features and more power. To be fair it doesn't have the same quality feel as the Hond@, the Hond@ has a steel enclosure and this one is plastic, but at less than 1/2 the price (less than Hond@ 2000 watt) this has all these EXTRAS: (1) Fuel gauge with remaining run time, (2) Wheels! (3) remote start with auto choke. (4) built in battery maintainer. (5). load meter (6) Higher capacity It's a no brainer!

Best features for price

Quicker than advertised shipping. Would not start out of the box until I connected the automatic choke wire that everyone mentions comes loose during shipping. 10 minutes of pulling panels, connecting the loose connection and putting panels back on and it ran really well. Very impressed with initial quality. More power for considerably less money than a Honda.
