Westinghouse iGen4500

Just purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500. Packaging was very good. Set up of the Generator was very simple. Oil is in pre-measured .6 Quart Bottle and came with the pour nozzle and a Tool Kit with a small length #2 Phillips screwdriver and Spark Plug removal tool with a handle. Battery is pre-wired and just needs the Battery plugged into a mated connector and the hold down rubber strap installed. Generator Started right up with it's remote and and the Digital Display shows how much runtime remains on the current fuel level, Voltage output, hours and Fuel quantity in Liters. Has a duplex Receptacle, a 30A 120V Receptacle as well as a pair of USB outlets. Also includes a 120V AC Battery Charger with a port on the front to plug into to charge the generator battery in the event it had gone low. Has Fuel shut-off dial, Battery Power Switch and Start push button as well. Generator can be pull started in the event the Battery is low. ( haven't tried the pull start since its working great without. The remote Start FOB is single press and is attached via carabiner to the Pull Start Rope during the unboxing of the unit. Great Generator for "Clean Power".

Great little generator that is ideal for my RV

I received my IGen4500 yesterday. Unpacked it and added oil and gasoline after installing the battery, Started right up. Ran it in my shop on a shop fan for a couple hours on and off. Next morning it would not run. The wire that controls the choke was unplugged. After correcting this it is starting right up every time. Like it.

Everything I needed and more!

Got the generator to maintain power to our new trailer. It has more than enough power to run the AC, Fridge, fill up a air mattress at the same time. Very pleased with the product. Like the remote start, push button and pull handle. Having a nice size gas tank is a plus to.

Great machine

This was an amazing machine I seriously recommend it to anyone above any other generator. Reason is because it is very very quiet holds a lot of gas has a energy efficient mode a remote that's wonderful when you're in your camper it just push of a button and it turns on and is very reliable

So Far so good

I purchased 2 of these and so far have ran for 25 hours with no issues. they run great in parallel and are quieter than my last Champions. oil change access panel could be a little bigger or this might be 5 stars. That is my only compliant, love the fact they hold 3.5 gallons of fuel for run time.

Very Quiet. Quick start up.

I was super impressed with how quiet this iGEN4500 was. I live in the South so I not only wanted this for my RV but also for Hurricanes. My old generator would wake the dead. This one you could sleep by. At 98 lbs it is a little heavy but not to heavy. Very well made. Would certainly recommend to others looking for a powerful quiet generator.

Lot's of power & quiet

Very happy with this generator! Bought it to replace a larger, much louder generator and I love it! It is extremely quiet even when running our AC unit in the RV. Also love the electric start/stop and the digital readout, neither of which the older unit had. The gas cap is also well designed and it's easier to fill. Pull-out handle also works well. Great generator!

Completely painless setup

This was probably the easiest startup of a new piece of equipment I have ever done. Put oil and gas in the generator and push the button on the key fob. It was that simple. It started immediately and ran great. I ran it at low speed on eco mode for one hour and then changed oil just as a safety precaution. I was impressed how quiet the thing ran. I hooked it up to our travel trailer via the rv outlet provided (No adapters necessary) and it worked great. I ran both refrigerators, the 13,500 air unit and lights and only pulled a max of 2.4k on the meter so there was plenty of power left. Great little machine so far!

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.

Good generator but...

The owner's manual is terrible. It doesn't explain things fully so that you have to contact Westinghouse repeatedly by phone. The manual is also outdated with confusing diagrams that don't even match the generator display and features. Apparently some oil was left in the generator when packed/shipped and it leaked all over the bottom and sides of the unit and into the plastic bag that it was packed in. So the oil caused the foam baffling on the oil access door to come off and it will not stick back on. Also, be aware of the battery pins that need connecting, not to the battery itself as per in the instructions, but pin to pin. The connecting pin was hidden off to the side in mine and I thought I had a bad battery. Also, as explained to me on the phone, in order to manually crank the motor you have to manually choke it by taking off the side panel and find a choke switch on top of the carburetor. It is a royal pain to unscrew the panel just to manually crank it...bad design! I hope everything else works better than the initial startup problems. The tech told me that a new manual is being written for this generator and I can see why.
