Very easy to operate

Bought it a month and 1 day ago. No surprises, was my 2nd generator. Use it to power my RV. it is compact and easy to move with the grab handles and the retractable pull arm. love the options to start it: pull cord, button on the unit and FOB. would recommend this to anyone.

Great feachers

Bought did a test run. Everything seemed to work great. Only negative is I keep it stored in my garage but now I can’t get the smell of gasoline to stop. No spills or leaks just a strong gas smell won’t go away. I’m on day 5. Every thing is shut off on the generator.

Good stuff but time will tell

Just got this and am pretty impressed. Plugged in to get a good battery charge and oiled it up where ran into the only issue so far. Too much oil in the can provided and difficult to catch the overflow so I ended up with excess oil on the garage floor. Would be nice to have an easier way to catch the overflow. Larger access door maybe to put a small pan under oil cap. Good stuff is I gassed it up, turned on the switches, pushed the remote control once and it fired right up. Plugged in the 5th wheel and turned on an AC unit and running fine. Time will tell if it keeps working as easy.

So far, so good

I bought the IGen4500 portable inverter generator on November 7 and I just received it today November 13. The initial setup looks straight forward reviewing the procedures and looking in the different doors. Looking forward to getting it all setup and broken in before the next PSPS here in SoCal.

Choke was not hooked up.

Got this the other day and was disappointed at first due to the fact that it stop running shortly after starting. So I took off the Main access panel for the engine and move the choke lever. It ran find after that. But the next day it would not start. So knowing something about engines I could see that it has an automatic choke, so took the other side panel and traced the wire coming from it to find the choke wire was disconnected, so I hooked it up and restarted it. Been running fine so far no issues. So far as sound it is quiet, but maybe not as quiet as the one Northerntool sells.

Very impressed.

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.

Best I've ever owned!

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!

exactly as described and what I was hoping for

Comes basically ready to go, connect battery(2 slip together wires) fill with shipped oil and start up. Already sitting on my cargo rack on the rear bumper of my travel trailer, enough juice to power everything and i mean everything. Just a hair over 100 lbs my wife and I can set it on cargo shelf no problem. Also kinda nice to have a bit larger one to have around the house just in case, you never know. Thanks

Exceeded our expectations

We just purchased the iGen4500 as we camp a ton over the Summer. Got it home, pulled out of the box, followed the setup instructions and BAM it was up and running. We can power almost our whole camper with this generator and love that its super quiet and has the remote starter!! Will definitely recommend to my friends and family

iGen4500 - Great Product!

My wife purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500 for me as a Christmas gift. I found the manual to be very comprehensive regarding setting up, operating, and maintaining the generator. The engineering and design of the generator are impressive. Access to critical maintenance areas is easy and convenient. The push button electric start and remote start features are game changers. This unit is replacing two Yamaha 1600 watt generators we use for RV camping. Although the wet weight of the iGen4500 is over 100lbs, its roller-board style wheel system makes it easy to move the generator on the ground. With moderate effort, my wife and I together can lift the generator in and out of the bed of my truck. I would recommend this generator for those that need up to 3700 running watts in a single generator.
