Easy to use-easy to start

This generator is great. I 1st used it after aftereffects from hurricane Debby knocked out my power. It was easy to set up and easy to use straight out the box. I love the handle which makes it easy to use. I operated a large deep freezer, a fan and my internet modem for several days.

Great Features

This is the second generator I purchased. I'm so glad I spent the extra money for this model. It is exactly what we were looking for. All of the features make it so easy to use. We have had it for a month now and are confident we will be ready for the next power outage.

Great Affordable Generator

I bought this about a month ago used it to power my camper it handled everything. I turned on the AC and the water heater at the same time It didnt move above 30% The only knock is the digital fuel guage doesnt work but it does run about 12 to 15 hours on a tank with the AC going.

IGen 4500.

Just bought the IGen 4500 generator and very happy so far. Packaging was good. Instructions for start up was good. Nice to have the funnel and oil to add right away. Battery was a bit weak but managed to start it after three attempts. Nice charger supplied for the battery. Pretty darn quiet. I'm looking forward to powering up my camper for bow season in Wisconsin this next week.

Good product

I am satisfied to this point with this generator. The only issue is checking and changing the oil. The drain bolt is stuck to the extender piece so the whole thing comes out when removing the bolt. I believe I can break it lose with some channel locks at the next oil change. Be careful when removing the dipstick to check the oil because some will come out. Other than that, the unit has been excellent for our needs of powering a travel trailer

Just Purchased

Battery was not charged when received. Also did not find instructions on how to do the manual choke if necessary. It was an easy start after the battery was charged. Have not really used it as of yet, so so far so good. Will update once we have used it.

Love the idea of three choices to start generator

The idea of being able to start this generator three different ways is absolutely the best idea I can imagine. Not only does it provide more then sufficient power for my needs during a power outage but maneuverability is of the utmost ease. The fact that it is capable of running for up to eighteen hours on one tank full is also a major plus for for me. I haven't used the included battery charger yet but it is a welcome idea that may come in hand in future use, All in all I rate this IGEN4500 generator eleven out of ten.

Powerful, Quiet & Easy Start

I bought this as a backup generator for my house in the mountains and for use in my RV. Relatively quiet operation and the telescoping handle makes moving it around very easy. No problems starting even in extreme cold conditions. Very easy startup out of the box. It was up and running in no time! Looking forward to using it on the RV.

Reliable and Quiet

I’ve owned this generator for 2 years now. I do change the oil after large outings. We just returned from a week long trip where it was in constant use for 5 days during some higher Texas temperatures. We turned it off only when leaving camp and for refueling. We were complimented multiple times on how quiet it was. After 2 years of use, it didn’t even so much as stutter. My only recommendations would be for the addition of oil change tubes to allow for cleaner oil changes (I added aftermarket products myself). Otherwise, this has been a fantastic product for us!

So far good but has a choke problem

I have seen some of these this year camping and I needed just a little more power from a 3500 watt generator so I purchased it since it was cheaper then the Onan 4500 same type just blue, it has been running great used it for the first time this weekend ran the 15K AC just fine but it has one little problem so far I have to go out and turn the manual choke on when starting the switch it off starts right up after that it starts up with remote all day, next morning same thing have to choke it then it runs all day no problems. I thought this had and electronic choke on it so you don't have to go out and start it up in the morning every time, so still trying figure out what is up with the choke, if this is the case every time Westinghouse should have put a manual choke lever on the outside of the generator so you don't have to take the cover of all the time to get to the choke.
