Pleasantly suprised!

My review of the iGEN4500 is based on owning a Westinghouse WH2400i prior to this purchase. The iGEN4500 is roughly twice the size physically and in power. The iGEN4500 has more bells and whistles; electric and remote start, larger fuel tank, stronger engine, and carrying handle. Unfortunately, the iGEN4500 did not improve on the oil filler location. It is still troublesome to fill and not get oil inside the compartment. Access the internal on the iGEN4500 is better than the WH2400i. All is necessary is to unscrew some screws and you are in. I'm torn on gas consumption, though. I could get 14 hours on 1.4 gallons of gas with the WH2400i, but I get 22 hours on 3.4 gallons of gas with the iGEN4500. I really wanted the electric start so I was willing to accept the higher gas usage of the iGEN4500, or at least I think I do. Now, the most recognizable difference has been in sound (loudness). I believe both the iGEN4500 and WH2400i have the same decibel rating but to my ears the iGEN4500 is noticeably quieter. I really despise companies marketing generators as quiet and/or super quiet. It has to be as stupidest as calling power banks solar generators. Generators are not quiet, but I will say the iGEN4500 , compared to the WH2400i completely took me by surprise. In my book, there are two wins in the iGEN4500 column, electric start and less generator noise. Just like the WH2400i, I do not plan to put many hours on the unit. It will only see occasional use. But it is nice to know I can move the unit easily outdoor, run an extension cord to wherever my load is, go back indoors, and use the remote start key fob. It will be equally nice to barely hear the generator running from indoors. I hope this guy will give me troublefree operation just as the WH2400i during it reign.

Excellent Value for a quite Generator

My brother-in-law bought one last year and I was impressed with it, then my neighbor bought one a few months ago. We all went primitive camping, and I had the oldest and loudest generator there. Seeing how this generator operates and many of the functions I decided to get one. Not disappointment at all, like how quite it is and does what I need for camping. Few features I didn't think I needed but really like, the remote start! That is nice for the mornings and don't have to walk out of the camper to start it.

Best generator I have ever had

I waited for a year to review. This generator starts and runs perfectly. I do run it periodically with a 10,000 BTU AC unit for a load so it is always ready when I need it. The computerized display showing fuel consumption and run time left is awesome. The built-in lift/tow arm makes moving it around a breeze. Nice design.

Best Inverter / Generator on the Market: Quiet !!!

Best Inverter / Generator because it has ample start up power for a 30' Trailer with 30 Amp Service. Fuel efficient allows for extended operation on 3 gallons of gas. With reduced load easily over 15 hours of Ultra Quiet Run Time. WELL DONE WESTINGHOUSE!!!

Back Up Gen for RV

Bought this generator as a back up for my RV in case of power outages. Very pleased with its performance and durability. Easy to maintain and use, love the remote control and the hand rail to tote the generator much easier. Read many reviews and watched videos before purchasing. Westinghouse has a parallel kit available for these model gens so that you can connect two for added power for added amp hours.

Impressing package

We have been researching portable generators for years for various reasons. When my wife found this one it looked like it has all the features we need. - Attractive compact package - Inverter - easy to transport and move - quiet - plenty of power for our purposes - Seems well built - electric (and remote) start - we're in our 80s

Outstanding features at a great price!

This generator met all my requirements for an emergency generator for my home. The unit appears well-constructed, and fired right up! All components working as advertised. The IGen4500 runs quieter than I imagined. I especially like the data display.

Works great for my travel Trailer and Home

I bought this with the purpose of powering my 30ft travel trailer and as a backup for my home. It ran everything in my trailer including A/C, electric water heater, water pump, and moved the slides in and out and never reached 50% load capacity. Just sitting outside less than 10 feet away and could hardly hear it.

Started right up and works great.

Only had it for one day and it started right up. After doing a little break-in I hooked up my camper and ran the AC. I even tried the microwave. The generator ran both at the same time no problem. Hope I get many years of great service. Really like the remote start, Unit looks like it is well built. I'm happy with my choice.

Powerful Generator

Purchased this generator to power the Rockwood UltraLite 28 ft 5th wheel with two A/C units. In the test of the Generator, I found that the generator performed outstanding. Connected to the generator with an RV 30A to RV 50A cable. Fired it up and started the testing. It powered one A/C unit and the microwave, but the dual A/C being turned on at the same time caused the circuit breaker on the generator to POP! Understanding since it will exceed the generator's ratings. Did find it really quiet and even when demand was high, you could still have a conversation within feet of the device without shouting, or talking loud. Ran the A/C, Microwave, and other in house electrical items without any power outages. the fuel useage was really remarkable. It said 18hrs on 25% demand. With all that was connected and running, I found the generator fuel level lasted more than i would have thought. Would I purchase this generator again, Yes without any reservations. If you need a powerful little generator that does a great job, maintains economy, and is ready to power your RV, this is it.
