Great generator!

We replaced an older inverter generator with this unit. Very happy so far. Quiet and durable. Control panel is excellent. Love the electric start. Easy to move around with the extendable handle. Plenty of power to run our 28' camper with ease. Highly recommended.

Igen4500

I purchased this until to replace a noisy old Troy-Bilt generator that was 15 years old And I can’t be happier so quiet I didn’t realize it was running at all read some prior reviews saying that the choke was stuck and some wiring was loose or disconnected making generator run ruff I DID NOT experience any of this added oil and gas and that’s it A little pricey but well worth it

New Inverter Generator

We are very pleased with out purchase of this new Westinghouse Inverter Generator. We were concerned about finding one that was the right size for our needs, not too big but sufficient to power what we thought we needed to run during a important during a power outage. We are now just waiting to get the gauge 10 extension cords we ordered to be ready for the next storm. Now we are not concerned about the next storm.

Secondary Review

I am writing this as a second review .. I just used this for a week straight and it worked perfectly.. very good on fuel 15-16 hours with an AC going on and off ... I broke it in at home, put 5 hours on it and changed the oil... CHANGE THE OIL OFTEN THE FIRST FEW TIMES.. had a lot of metallic but not abnormal , so I changed the oil and ran it another 5 hours at 25% load and changed the oil again and it was pretty good so I filled it with synthetic oil and off on vacation.. flawless is all I can say..I ran it 77 straight hours at one point except for adding fuel .. I am more than pleased !!

Super Quiet Generator!

We love this generator for our RV, it is super quiet and light weight. We can have it run all night and people around us don't complain about it because it is so quiet. Absolutely love the remote start. We had looked at several generators before buy but so happy we decided to by the Westinghouse iGen4500, great product for the price!

Great Generator for our House Boat!!

We bought this generator for our Houseboat and look forward to how quiet The IGen4500 is. We love the remote start as well. Super easy to use and start up. Runs great!!! Easy to follow instructions as well. I read a lot of reviews and narrowed it down to this one or the Honda and we are glad we chose the IGen4500!!!

Excellence 30A rv generator

Bought this for my Cougar 5th Wheel. We do a lot of dry camping, and my older generator was a little louder than i would like. Always felt it might be an annoyance to other campers. The iGen4500c is just a soft purr when running. I can hardly notice it running, while inside the RV. Haven't been able to run the AC unit yet as it's too cold to get the compressor to cycle. Running the AC fan, microwave, and DC converter at the same time didn't seem to elevate the noise level that much. There is one aspect of the remote start that I will have to test come camping season. The "Battery ON" switch, that has an indicator light lit in the on position, has to be "on" to allow the remote start function. So, my concern is, will this draw enough of the start battery power over night to compromise the next remote start? Hopefully it's an LED indicator and the draw is minimal. The engine oil service looks like it could be a little messy, as the drain allows the oil to collect in the plastic bottom cover. Some rags or shop towels are a must for that operation. Putting the oil in, prior to start-up, I parked the unit over a scrap piece of plywood anticipating some "drippage", but none was found. An awesome plus is the Data panel, as i was planning on adding that feature to my old generator! Overall it seems to be a nice unit and I am looking forward to next years camping season with it.

Best Bang for the Buck!

After watching plenty of reviews on inverter generators, the Igen4500 was able to check all the boxes. I had bought this unit to power our 28ft. travel trailer without having to worry about the need for a second generator to have enough power. It's hefty (just under 100lbs) but can definitely get the job done, oh, and it's quiet too.

Great Generator

I wanted a backup generator in case of an extended hurricane electrical outage. I chose this one based on the inverter technology. It is much quieter and if needed, one can plug in sensitive electronics directly without worrying they might get fried based on a "dirty" current line as in a standard generator. Think of inverter technology as a "surge suppressor". Also like the ease of use, good value, good name, and better warranty than most others. I like the remote start and electronic gauge readings, especially the time left to run. Started right up the first time I pushed the button. I like it but...hope I never have to use it!

Awsome and quite unit!!

I purchaced this unit a month ago and I am so glad I did. Thankfully our weather has not knocked out our power yet but at least I have piece of mind that we are prepaired for when the time comes. Compared to my older open unit this unit is very quite and can handle our esentials when needed.
