Great inverter generator.

Bought this inverter generator to power my large chest freezer and my refrigerator in case of a power outage. The generator arrived and works like a champ. Noise is manageable and you can have a little louder than normal conversation easily right next to it. Plugged the chest freezer and barely made a dent on the power load.

Great out of box quality and break-in experience.

I bought this generator yesterday and found the break-in procedure easy to follow and execute. The generator performed great in its 1st 5 hours of break-in loads and use. Love the features especially the ease of mobility. Looking forward to many years of good operation.

iGen 4500 easy to setup and quiet!

Excellent product. Followed easy quick startup directions and it started up and ran for an hour without issue. Powered down and restarted again without issue. Extremely quite. Looks like a good investment. Will use with a transfer switch set-up to power all essential items in my enitre 2600 sq ft. condo as long as I leave the air conditioning off.

Exceeded my expectations

Bought this inverter generator for my 30 amp TT and oh man let me tell you I was surprised. First off after unboxing it and got it ready with oul and gas it started right up with the remote start, push start and pull start. Then after it was running I plugged my TT into it and went inside started turning everything on that would possibly run on shore power. As I was sitting inside my TT I couldn't even hear it running compared to my other generator. So now when I go dry camping I dont have to listen to my loud generator. Very pleased with my purchase of the product and a great investment.

Great Value for the price point

Have had several Westinghouse Generators , Wanted this one as its the quieter Inverter type , with cleaner power. Also this model line has been out for about 5 years so spare parts should be available for many years. Started right up after putting in oil and securing battery , Only Gripe is a little shipping Damage - but that seems like the way it is unfortunately when shipping. There Warranty support is usually pretty good resolving issues. Will primarily be using this as a home back up , my old one was a traditional open frame DF5300 - good generator but loud. would recommend !

Generator I4500/3700

Likes- Easy set up and break in, I like how it comes with a screw on funnel for the oil no mess or over filling. Absolutely love the remote on/off feature. As we do a lot of dry camping with cold mornings Love the large fuel take as it runs several hours without having to refuel, It is extremely quiet on eco mode. I really like the digital display. I bought this in June and used for the 1st time over the July 4th. Issues during 1st use. went dry camping used for about 4 hrs. to run our AC to cool off the RV ran fine no issues after turning it off for about 3 hrs. when I started it back up it acted like it was lacking power, then the red overload light came on even though nothing was hooked up. i removed side panel to access the carb thinking maybe the choke was stuck that seemed fine, I drained all the fuel thinking bad gas nope, it got dark so I called it a night. Next morning I started it back up ( it starts right up just no power ) I try everything can think of, fuel, air filter, spark plug all seem fine as I am listening to it run I notice and hear a hissing sound coming from the exhaust I noticed a screen over the exhaust and think ok maybe it is plugged as I go to remove the screen it has a larger funnel screen inside ( i assume it is a spark arrester ?) it is completely caked in black soot ( not sure why after just 4 hrs of use) I remove the whole thing firepit up runs perfect. 2nd Issue is this will not start in the cold mornings, ( choke I believe is not operating properly ) I have to remove the side panel every morning to move the choke manually to get it to start. I now will be contacting Westinghouse to take it in to get it fixed. I will let you know how that process goes.

Easy to operate

I bought this for home power backup. Living along the Gulf Coast during hurricane season, you need to be self sufficient as we are subject to power outages. This generator will carry the load to allow us to maintain the basics of survival. The ease of operating will allow any of us to operate and maintain the generator. As with all equipment there are improvements that you would like to see but from an overall perspective this is a fine machine.

Great Product

Just received the package. Well packaged and documented. Smells brand new. Feels and looks in good quality. Yet to be tested when next power outage comes. This thing is heavy but managable. I was able to pull the box out of the machine by myself. With the pull-out handle, moving the machine around is just like pulling a luggage around without much effort. Although it is heavy, the size is smaller than what I expected. I watched on YouTube for a warning that the automatic choke did not work. Later I found out from a Westinghouse bulletin that this issue was caused by a disconnection of a power supply cable during shipping. Hope this will not hanppen on my unit. I will see. One thing that is missing in the instruction manual but I figured out is that you need to push a button on the handle in order to pull the handle out. I hope Westinghouse add this instruction in the future.

Like it

The product was as you said it was so far. It started up right away after doing the maintenance on it when it arrived. The only problem is it's a lot heavier than what I was expecting. I always camp alone so unloading it and reloading it will be a problem. I will have to make a hoist to load it in on the trailer rack. But so far I am happy with it.

Inexpensive but good!

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I'm so happy I did. I now have peace of mind knowing that I will be prepared the next a winter storm hits and we are left without electricity for a week. From the other reviews that I've seen, I should be well prepared.
