I purchased about 1 month ago, so I can't speak for it's reliability. To start the first time, you need to put in the oil and install the battery (both included), and fuel it up. Mine has the electric start and it started right up. It is pretty quiet. I like the controls give you alot of information about what is going on.

Originally ordered for use with travel trailer. Came in just in time for hurricane Florence. Picked up and put to immediate use after a two hour break in. Ran without missing a beat. Light weight, compact, quiet and sips gas. Plenty powerful. I'm kicking my old noisy, oil dripping, gas hog generator to the curb. If you've ever owned a generator you will appreciate the craftsmanship and extras Westinghouse has put into this machine. For example, the insane (how cool is that) remote start. Arrived complete but the RV (30 Amp) plug was installed upside down. Easy fix to flip it over. Love this machine.

This is a high quality generator. I'm a Honda fan, but this Westinghouse generator is easily as good (maybe better) than the competition. The engineering of the design is top notch. You can tell that this was not just quickly created to sell another product. This inverter generator was designed for ease of use and ease of maintenance. Even the funnel that they provide to fill the oil is unique and makes the job easy. After adding the oil, the generator easily started on the first pull (it also has electric start and remote start). We are very happy with this inverter generator.

Delivery guy unloaded the box and brought it to my door, upside down. Unboxed it, and there was no damage. Went through the setup procedures, and the little gen fired right up and has been running great - powering a horse trailer living quarters with no issues. The little guy is extremely quiet, and has been quite miserly on using gas. I would definitely recommend this generator.

My wife and I recently purchased our first travel trailer (Wolf Pup Black Label) and we intend to camp sometimes in areas where there are no electrical hook-ups. I did a lot of research into RV generators prior to purchasing the Westinghouse iGEN5000. With 5000 watts of start-up power and 3900 watts continuous, this generator has ample power output to meet our needs - even with an output derating for higher elevations. It was easy to set up and is easy to operate. It is also relatively quiet. We are fully satisfied and would recommend this unit to others who have fairly light power requirements.

I absolutely LOVE this inverter generator! We took it out for the first time this weekend & used it with our big 5th wheel camper trailer. Everything ran perfectly. It's lighter and quieter than our other generators and if I'm being honest, my favorite feature is the remote control to turn it on and off! We use our camper 7-8 months out of the year and it's a fight to get any of us to go out in the cold to have to start or shut off the other generators we'd used. I also like the digital display of how much run time is left. I'd recommend this to anyone...it's definitely money well spent!

Just purchased, shipping turned out good, was a little worried got to me late. Tracking through ups showed it was almost to me but went back to where it shipped from so it was handled a lot but showed up in good shape. After reading other reviews was a little worried about the first start up, it didn’t start on first try but after a little messing around fired up, I noticed if I hold the start button down for a bit the little green light starts to blink then release the start button tap the button again and it started right up, worked that way with the remote also, not sure why? Love the options especially the remote start it’s new home is in my pull behind camper. It may be a Little noisier than the Onan 4000 that the camper came with but couldn’t justify the money to repair or replace the onan.

I have been loving my new iGen4500. The remote start is so convenient and it runs my large AC on my RV to perfection. I have a 13K AC and after the initial start up it is only using about 50% capacity. I love the ease of use and setting it up was so simple.

Just received a few days ago and very happy so far. Charged the battery for a few hours with the included charging cord, poured the oil and fuel in and it fired right up. Let it run for a while to gently break it in and ran great with no issues. Pretty quiet for a generator, also.

This is the second one I've purchased. The first was unfortunately stolen when my work trailer was broken into. After using the previous igen4500 daily for over a year with no issues there was no question I had to buy the same model again. Highly recommend!
