I'm leaving this review for a free generator cover. It's honest, but I am incentivized. I bought this generator for my travel trailer to power the AC after we were expecting higher than normal temperatures and I had to work. I have a large solar system with a lithium battery but running the AC all day requires more power. I bought this because it was available in Rapid City SD to be shipped to a local retailer. I ordered the iGen4000 but the store shipped the 5000. This generator was able to run my AC while staying below the 50% threshold for the first five hours. I changed the oil at that point and then I was able to run my entire trailer without issue on this. I would switch AC loads from my inverter to the generator and then also charge the battery. The generator is relatively quiet. I hate generators in campgrounds but it was necessary. It has ample capacity to run a 30 amp trailer. Adding and changing the oil is simple. It comes with a screw in funnel and I was lazy and just dumped it back out the same as it went in to change it. The remote start is fine but it requires you leave everything connected and you shouldn't start with a load or shut it down with loads. The battery was dead when I got it and needed to charge. The second time I ran it the electric start worked well. The generator is over 100 pounds though so it is hard to move and get in and out of the truck. I bought the 4000 which is 67 pounds so this is a major drawback. I need the high altitude kit and most manufacturers offer it for free but I haven't found a way to get it from Westinghouse for free. I submitted a request for this via support so we'll see what happens.

I read a lot of reviews with many mixed opinions. i decided to buy this generator because no other brand offers comparable power while maintaining the super quietness this generator offers. I had no issues upon opening and the generator started right up- electric start, manual start, and remote start!

I bought my generator just in case of an extended power outage due to any sever weather, like hurricane Sally in 2020 which hit close by. I just want to be able to run our standing freezer, lights, a standing fan & a couple of light electronic units. I have tested it by running the freezer & a table lamp for about 5 minutes and didn't see any issue! Overall I am very happy.

I bought this generator because of 3 things 1 is that its a enclosed inverter generator 2 its features like the digital information screen and most importantly is the remote start, i live fulltime in my rv so that was a must have Another important thing about this generator is the run time on a tank, i have gotten 16 hours out of a full tank of gas

I have not had the opportunity to start this yet, but i will go over the pros and cons of why I purchased this unit. Pros are the Key fob and push button start, with someone who has several herniated discs in my lower back this was a must, the gas gauge and run time until empty is a feature that will be very useful as the power output in percentages and the charging cord to keep the onboard battery charged. The cons is only one, I wish they had a better way to change the oil without making such a mess..

Only issues I had were that it ws difficult to tell when I had filled it with the proper amount of oil, and getting the battery cables connected together was very difficult because of the tight space, sharp edges of the case, and very short leads that it made it difficult for the very tight plug.

I bought this 2-19-21 ,put oil in in it and gas hooked up battery and it stared right up, ran it for one hour and change the oil it was a little hard to get to the oil drain plug,the manual says it has a automatic rotating data number display but it has a push button which I like better, it surges a little bit but does not change volt on the display called Westinghouse waiting to hear back from them about the surge and display. so far i like it.

Purchase 5/2020. iGen4500 Rev01. Read previous reviews. Looked for the obvious problems / conditions others had experience with. Found wire unplugged. Reconnect the wire. Serviced unit IAW the Quick Start Guide. Started the generator . Runs great. Tested all functions. Hooked up and load-tested. Works great. Easy starting / operation. My wife is real comfortable operating this generator

I love the retractable handle for transporting... this thing is bigger than it looks in the pictures. The remote start ability from 80-90 feet away is great, as well as the button start. If all else fails, there's the old-school pull-start option, also. Follow directions in the manual and, which is easy, but also detailed and you can be up and running very quickly.

After wrestling with a decision between whole-home, large portable generator, or an invertor, I settled on the iGen 4500 because it fit the balance between power, portability, and quiet sound. This is a perfect blend to keep the essentials on at the house when a hurricane or winter storm hits, but quiet enough for tailgating/camping. Very pleased with the purchase so far.
