Nice generator but not reliable

I've had this generator for a little over a year and only recently put it to any sort of extended use on a camping trip. After roughly 3 hours it started making a knocking noise and stopped putting out voltage. I suspect the inverter has gone bad and am in the process of submitting a warranty claim. Hopefully it can be repaired.

Great Generator

Purchased to replace an old, very heavy and loud generator. Ease of operation of the iGen4500 is awesome. It is so much quieter. Perfect for use in the city. Electric start and remote start options are wonderful. I a very happy with this generator.

Solid, well constructed, quiet.

Bought this as a backup to run a mobile audio testing unit. It is wonderfully quiet, even running at full capacity with the eco switch off. The lit power meter on the front is actually quite useful in making sure the generator isn't being overloaded. Well constructed overall, and the case is sealed nicely. My only concern so far is the battery access cover is a bit too small and makes connecting/disconnecting or replacing the battery a tricky maneuver.

Great Value

I bought this unit to replace an older onboard genset for my RV. It arrived within 4 days of placing the order. Everything went well in opening and going through the start up process. Unit fired right up and ran consistent. Very pleased with this purchase and may consider a second unit for our home.

Works as Expected

Just in case of California PG&E PSPS I bought this generator back in Sep 2020. One month later, I had to use this unit for the power outage. I bought this unit based on the great reviews online, also had to wait for Lowes's to restock the unit. So going in I had high expectations for the igen4500. All I can say is I'm not disappointed. This unit works as I expected. After following the clear instructions that came with the unit, I ran it for 4 hours the 1st day and then 10 hours straight the 2nd day. The unit was able to power the 2 refrigerators and 1 small freezer we had. I also had my internet modem, computer and couple of lights hooked up to it at the same time. Without this unit, we would not be able to work and attend school online. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Big Upgrade

Haven't used it on the road yet, but I am VERY impressed with out quiet the unit operates. Looks like Westinghouse made some updates to the new model I got, start button is moved above the 30 amp rv plug in and a few other things. Hopefully this means all the bugs were taken care of in the gen 1 model. Cant wait to use boondocking!

Issues within the first hour

I purchased igen4500 because my dad bought one and I liked his alot. I sold 2 generacs 2200i inverters and purchases this one. after about 1 hour of use the display is no longer showing any load or voltage output when it is in fact running a load. kind of disappointing. Will be calling customer service on monday. will update review after speaking with customer service.

Really nice machine

I experience occasional power failures in my area so I bought this generator to get me through. After following the quick start instructions, generator fired right up. Biggest surprise is how quiet it is. Tried running with gas and then propane, both ran flawlessly. Nice machine, well built, somewhat heavy, very sturdy. Would recommend to anyone who needs a generator.

Runs good, but check the air filter.

Just bought the 4500DF put in gas and oil and it fired right up. Still in the break in period so haven't used it a lot but it handles the load and runs quiet. I did see that the manual said the foam air filter should have oil on it so I checked it and it didn't. The set up instructions said nothing about doing this. When you get your generator CHECK THE AIR FILTER! So far I would recommend this generator as it runs good and has nice features.
