Replacing smaller Westinghouse generator

Bought this because we needed a larger generator to use on our camper, we boondock a lot, so no electric hook up. Brother has one just like this model and it did a great job with his camper which has more bells and whistles than ours so it was a no brainer to get the same. Used it once so far and it was great.

so far, so good

Just arrived, survived shipping intact and appears ready to go. Instruction seems clear, will add gas/oil in the next few days and buy properly sized extension cords before giving it a test run. Was looking for a quality mid-range sized generator to run sump pump and refrigerator/freezer during next power outage...I think this one will get it done without worrying about being undersized.

Quiet and Great on Fuel

I just recently purchased my 2nd iGen4500. The first one was for my pull behind camper. It was very quiet, easy to start and ran all night running my AC on 3/4 of tank of gas. I sold my Camper and the buyer purchased the generator with it. So I just purchased a replacement for my new RV.

Quiet

Love it. I bought two weeks ago. I have used it for two weekends to power my camper. I ran AC, microwave and coffee pot at the same time and was super quiet. The unit idles up during AC start up but quickly idles down even with the 15k BTU running. I would certainly recommend at this time.

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!

Great features and is so quiet.

We bought this for our van. We have transformed it into a camper and with it being summer we really need and air conditioning. I love how quiet it is so we will not disturb the other camper around us. Will definitely recommend this to all our camping friends..

Works great

I bought this generator as a backup for power outages. Then had the opportunity to test it a week later. Easy to setup and the push button start worked first time every time. Power was out for 12 hours. Kept the refrigerator cold, some lamps running and electronics charged. Perfect for my needs.

Nice balance of features.

I'm not trusting Texas power grid this year. Glad I decided to go with this larger size and put on a 30A back feed breaker. Powers entire house with all of the basics running; frig, gas furnace blower, lights, 75" TV/amp, computer, including a 1600W microwave that pushed temporary draw up 3200W. Eco mode drops RPM slightly and extends run time. Installed sliding interlock on electrical panel and moved breakers around a little. Plastic insulated shell keeps it relatively quiet. Runs at lower RPM versus smaller generators at higher more annoying RPM.

Fantastic Product!

Great portable generator; this is exactly what I was looking for to power my RV. Powerful yet quiet, I can run run most all of my stuff using this unit and it's so quiet!, The start-up was so easy using the simple instructions provided and I really liked how simple and convenient you made it with the oil filler funnel (screw-in tube) and the simple battery connection. And this key fob for remote starting - Wow how convenient. You guys Nailed-It with this product! Totally satisfied customer, WDW

Just unboxed

Just unboxed it and did the start up of the generator to test it out with my trailer. It works great and is quiet. Only thing I had a problem with was the gave me the “exact” amount of oil so I poured it all in. Now I have a oil puddle on my driveway because it overfilled it so be prepared and have rags available or fill slowly and check as you go.
