Really Quiet and Easy To Start and Use

I purchased the iGen 4500c to replace a generator that was stolen. It is easy to set up out of the box. You just need to add oil (included), connect the battery, add gas, turn the fuel valve to on, turn the rocker switch on and press the start button. It is really quiet and is easy to maneuver with the telescoping handle.

Horrible

Doesn't work. Got this one because it is rated for much more than we need and it barely starts and when it does it trips. Don't waste your money, spend a bit more and get the Honda.

    Pleasant surprise

    Everyone is talking about Honda generators how good they are. I did give a change to Westinghouse to prove me wrong and they did. I bought iGen4500 not long ago for our trailler to run AC and othere aplliances in that. I test it with AC, Refrigirator and microwave on and iGen4500 can handle this no problem. Remote start make it even more convineance to use it.

    WOW This IS a Quiet Inverter/Generaro

    I purchased this to replace a stolen generator. After researching the options I decided on this model. It cranked right up with the push button electric start and is super quiet.

    Solid well built generator

    Easy to unpack with good instructions. Came with oil and spout which was easy to use and did not make a mess putting the oil in. All the parts were with the machine and setup was easy. Started easy and ran well- have not used it enough to comment on how it will power the things we need in a power outage. Seems well made and easy to move around. We were without power for a few days before we bought this and my wife is excited we have a backup generator now.

    Quality materials used in a well built machine.

    I bought this last week in anticipation of a really bad winter due to an extremely bad El Nino. I spent many nights pouring over different generators from different manufacturers. After finding my homes power needs in case of a prolonged power outage `I found the Westinghouse 5000 Watt inverter generator fit my needs to a tee. After recieving and un-packing my generator today I was extremely happy with the quality of build and the materials used in building.The features are easy to access and to operate. All controls are well placed and clearly marked .The power receptacles are convently placed and well marked.

    Printed Manuals and quality information

    Bought for a family camping trip to use with my 5th Wheel. Worked just as advertised and didnt have any problems with AC units. I also appreciated the printed out instructions, manuals, and parts catalog.

    Works Great!

    We bought this 1+ month ago for our camper for the weekend for our daughter to run the AC and nap during the afternoon and sleeper early evening, it has been great to date, the wheels are very helpful in moving

    QUITE and AMAZING!

    I bought this beautiful generator a week ago and it has been amazing right out of the box. The days of bogging down are over and it is crazy how quiet this thing is. Love this for me.

    Best Generator Ever

    I bought this generator after Hurricane Helene hit and after sitting in the building for over a year now it was brought out and gas was put in it and it started up with no problems. The easy push start key fob makes it even easier to start. The noise level was quieter then most generators I'm use to hearing. It is very fuel efficiency and can last over 20 hrs. I used this generator when the power goes out at my house. I am well pleased this product.

    I'm really happy with everything about this generator. For the amount of power it delivers, it's surprisingly lightweight and easy to move thanks to the built‑in handles—one for rolling and two for carrying. The attention to detail shows, with thoughtful extras like the battery charger, included tools, and everything needed to get it running right out of the box. It has the correct connection for my 30A RV plug, and the dust covers are a great added touch. I also love the remote start and the clear status display

    Easy to use!!!

    We bought this at an auction because we have frequent power outages where we live. It was new still in factory package. Opened the box everything was there. It was packaged well. It's easy to use and sooooooook much quieter then the old generator we have. It is small and compact, no bigger then an end table. It will fit almost anywhere. Has a decent run time. I believe we are going to be very very very happy with this one!!!

    Another Westinghouse generator.DWL

    It arrived completely secure and assembly and set up was easy. Make sure you read the quick start guide as well as the owners manual setup, they give different steps for the oil addition and oil fill access cover, the manual is correct. I'll try the generator tomorrow. I love my other 7000w generator, thus I bought another Westinghouse.

    Compact and Quiet

    I purchased about a month ago. Started up right away and easy to use. The push button start is really nice. Any age can operate easily.

    Easy instructions for set up and use. Generator fired right up and works great. Only used once so far but has handled all items thrown at it so far.

    Great generator

    Bought it a couple weeks ago and just got it running today. Nice and quiet, remote start is a great feature. I also like the extension handle and wheels for easy movement.

    Not Impressed

    Initially it was amazing. It ran our washing machine, the ac in our motorhome, and a table saw or similar tool. However, by the beginning of July and after the return time period was up, it can only handle either the washer, the ac or a tool like the table saw but definitely not two. It still runs quite but now we are back to using our old generator for most things other than the washing machine which requires a generator with sensitive power output. The oil is good, the air filter is good, there's nothing wrong with it starting, it would get an overload but not reset. It would just sit there not starting after it shut down trying to run the same three things it ran before, but now it overloads then dies. It will not reset or restart until…...

    like the features so far

    I just bought it today, so my review so far is that it is easy to setup so far. Oil and gas where easy to fill up, just making so it not over filled and now I'm off to the store to get some gas not enough.
