Great unit

I bought this for our 5th wheel RV and it is exceptional. Has no problem powering our ac fridge tv and small appliances. The unit was easy to unpack set up and it started on the very first attempt. I’m looking forward to many hour of camping enjoyment with this generator

Warranty is excellent

The generator worked great for less than an hour, then it would shut down. This occurred several times, and we called customer service. As is typical nowadays, it took several days to get a response. On the plus side, when we finally were directed to a certified repair shop, the service was quick, the problem was diagnosed as a manufacturing defect, and a replacement generator was sent immediately. We have yet to use the replacement, but are hopeful it works well.

Review is for WH2200iXLT which works great

This is the wrong generator. Mine wasn't listed in the drop down box. I bought the WH2200iXLT and it works great. Starts by the second pull and runs for hours. I put it to the test for two weeks in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I had to charge deep cycle batteries to run my biPAP machine and even used it for a toaster. Also, ran some lights while the batteries were charging. Never any problem.

Today I received my IGen4500 inverter-generator

I removed it from the box, connected the battery, installed the supplied oil, filled the gas tank, turned on the fuel, turned on the battery, pressed the start button and immediately it purred to life. I connected my heat gun and it worked. My only disappointment is that the digital read out is in metric liters and kilowatts. I did a google search and found charts to convert them (see attached).

IGen4500DF

Took this out on our first dry camping expedition. Did a great job carrying the load. Ran everything in the camper. Not much noise produced. I am really enjoying this unit. Only downer is the cover for the battery came off while traveling in the back of the truck and is gone in the wind. The oil cover was hanging on but almost came off as well. I would recommend taking off both covers so you don’t loose them.

Great generator.....just what I needed!

This generator is exactly what I needed: an invertor generator that was quiet, had plenty of power, and didn't crush my bank account. This generator fits the bill. Is it Honda quiet? No...obviously not but is indeed quiet, has lots more power than a Honda 3000, and is 1/4 of the cost of the Honda 3000. If you are in need of an inverter generator, I strongly suggest you look into this one.

Wouldn't start. I needed to fix it. Worked after.

A known issue with this generator is that one or two of the plugs in the starting circuit come loose if the generator is handled roughly. My box looked like it had been thrown down the stairs. I had to perform my own field maintenance to get it to run. It then started right up and runs quietly. I would buy this again, knowing that I may have to fix it. GE should fix this problem.

reply from Westinghouse

We're sorry to hear about the shipping damage on your iGen4500! Unfortunately, we do not have any control in the caring and handling of the generator while it's en route and seeing photos such as this is always disheartening for us as well. If you have any questions or concerns with any issues, please contact our customer care team at service@wpowereq.com or by calling 1-855-944-3571 where we'll be happy to get everything figured out ASAP. Thank you!

Amazing price/performance!

I bought this at the end of November 2018 to replace a pair of Honda 2K inverters I was running in parellel all the time to run the AC units on our large trailer. This iGen4500 is hands down a better solution for half the original price of the Hondas. Great quality inverter.

Everything I had hoped it would be

Would not start right out of the box. Found the choke wire was routed too tight from the factory, so it came unplugged in shipping. I rerouted the wire and plugged it in… Runs absolutely perfect now. The remote start is awesome!!! I waited to give this review so I could use it and see how it did. turns out, it is much more than I expected it would be. I would recommend this product to anyone… In fact, I already have and he just ordered one last week
