Great Generator

Bought this as a quiet office backup generator and also for use to power up ac/heat in temporary guard shacks. Very quiet and a great run-time! Seems like a well built and sturdy unit...wheels and handle make transport a breeze. Priced right for what you get.

Easy setup and start

Got this for our camper and so glad we did! It was so easy to set it up and start it. When received wasn't sure how me and my husband were gonna move it around but was surprised to see it had wheels and a handle to pull like luggage. So convenient and not very loud! Great investment!

Great so far!

I bought this to replace a Yamaha ef2400. The Yamaha had been almost flawless for 15 years, but we had to be very careful to not overload it with other appliances when the 11,000btu AC unit was running. This unit is the iGen4500 with 3500W rated capacity. I’ve run it about 3 hours with an electric heater for load to cover the specified <50% load break in. It started an ran well. The noise level seems to be comparable to the Yamaha. I think the next 30 hours are not supposed to exceed 75% load. We’ll complete that on our next outing near the end of August 2021. That will also be the first opportunity to run the AC. I’ll update this if possible after that trip.

Powerful, Quiet, Easy to Transport!

The Westinghouse name brand, 3 year parts warranty, and great reviews led me to purchase this product. I have loaded it up with many different appliances and it purrs like a kitten. It's reasonably quiet between 65 - 83 DB, you can hold a conversation next to it without any problems. Much quieter than my non-inverter generator. Weighing a little over 100 pounds I am surprised at how easy it is to move with the built in retractable handle and it doesn't feel that heavy if you have to lift it using built in lift handles. A lot of thought went into its design and it is very easy to access serviceable parts. I like the supplied oil funnel as it screws in the oil filler tube which ensures oil will not spill when filling, unlike those other funnels that have a tendency to pop out at the wrong time. However the best part of this generator, is the informative lcd panel. It toggles between 5 screens. The screen I use the most is the one that shows the power load the generator is pulling. In addition to the 5 LCD informative screens, it has an ever present percent of fuel remaining gauge and a percent of load indicator in 25% increments. Very easy to read. One feature that could be improved is to have the ability to change the remaining fuel display from Liters to Gallons remaining, however this is not a deal killer. If you do not use the built in battery to start the generator, the pull handle starts it up in one or two pulls and the remote start key fob works great! This generator, like others, also has an auto shut off if the load exceeds the generator capacity or the oil level is too low. It also has a charger so you can top off the built in battery monthly if the generator is not being used. Well thought out, three ways to start it, easy to transport, perfect compact size. I highly recommend this product!

More Power

Bought this gen. to replace my old one that I couldn't get parts for.This one has 1000 more watts and weighs about the same. took it out of the box put gas & oil in and it started right up. Would have given it 5 stars put the oil drain is a pain in the(donkey) to get at

Everything I was wanting

Bought this after looking at several other generators. I felt like it offered the most value for the money. Runs my whole camper. Comes with 30 amp rv plug ready to go plus it has electric start. Looks and feels very well made. So far I am very pleased.

Great inverter generator

I've bought 4 of these units for myself and family members. I love the fact that you get 3700 running watts out of an inverter is pure sine wave clean electricity to protect sensitive electronics. These units are very fuel efficient & quiet. Would recommend anyone to look into these units if you're in the market for a inverter. I also have 2 of the iGen2500 and 2 of the iGen2200

Great features at a great price!

This inverter generator was purchased for use with our travel trailer but it will be great portable power for our farm as well. We love how quiet it is and all the extra features that we did not find on other comparably priced units. For example, all the outlets are covered, it is RV ready with no extra adapter needed, and with the extendable handle and wheels is very easy to move around. Little design things like a screw on funnel and easy access panels make it a user friendly unit. Overall a great unit for our needs at a very reasonable price!

Great Product

Just received the package. Well packaged and documented. Smells brand new. Feels and looks in good quality. Yet to be tested when next power outage comes. This thing is heavy but managable. I was able to pull the box out of the machine by myself. With the pull-out handle, moving the machine around is just like pulling a luggage around without much effort. Although it is heavy, the size is smaller than what I expected. I watched on YouTube for a warning that the automatic choke did not work. Later I found out from a Westinghouse bulletin that this issue was caused by a disconnection of a power supply cable during shipping. Hope this will not hanppen on my unit. I will see. One thing that is missing in the instruction manual but I figured out is that you need to push a button on the handle in order to pull the handle out. I hope Westinghouse add this instruction in the future.
