nice features

Just purchased it have not use it much. I am comparing it to champion 4000 inverter generator. Which I liked a lot. Purchased this one because of good reviews. This has more features very easy to use and is even more quite. I have already recommend it to my brother.

iGen4500

After reading reviews of good and bad, and watching YouTube videos if I happen to get one with the Choke issue I decided to order one ,just like a lot of reviews said choke comes unplugged in shipping I had that happen to me, wouldn't start so pulled sides off plugged choke wire back in and boom fired right up and no problems since, runs everything on rv and very quiet. Glad I made purchase

Great features and is so quiet.

We bought this for our van. We have transformed it into a camper and with it being summer we really need and air conditioning. I love how quiet it is so we will not disturb the other camper around us. Will definitely recommend this to all our camping friends..

Ease of use

Very quiet! Seems to be designed with safety in mind, exhaust and hot surfaces are well away from controls. Super layout of the control panel! Doesn't look heavy but it is so use caution when unpacking or moving. Checking for the correct oil level could be easier. Very difficult to see and judge the correct level.

Kind of early to review

iGen500c was delivered a week ago. Setup was reasonably straightforward. I suggest you look at one of the 'unboxing and starting' videos on you tube before you start. That makes it quite easy to do. Started on second pull of the cord. A few minutes, then shut it down. Then tested both the push button and remote electric starts. Both worked very well. Ran it for about 45 minutes with different loads (within the 50% limit during break-in) and it responded well on adding them and adding power. Finally did a decibel level check at 5 locations, where I had taken numbers for on my old generator the previous week. Excellent results, it ran a minimum of 25% quieter than the old Generac, and the sound is a very tolerable low hum rather than a roaring beast.!! Will be running it once a week to get through the break-in and first oil change

WORKED AS ADVERTIZED.

All items listed on package were included, but Manual description of battery hook-up and its attachment to the generator were not the same as the actual configuation. Battery is connected to the generator using a plug rather than directly from the battery wires, and is secured to the generator using a rubber strap.

Excellent product!!

Just bought this inverter generator and was very concerned about noise levels. I've heard so many generators that were too loud to use as close to my neighbor's house as ours is. Not with this one. I was very surprised at how quiet this unit runs. Would highly recommend this generator!

Quiet and powerful

I bought this for emergency home back up use. This generator is surprisingly quiet (for a generator). I really like that it provides details on fuel level and time remaining as well as wattage and run time. I wish that it was easier to fill and drain the oil but that's really the only quibble that I can think of. Overall, it seems to be a great generator and great value.

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.

iGen4500

I bought this generator last month. I love it so far! It runs my camper, one air conditioner 13500 BTU with no issues. I like all the readouts it has. Compact and easy to move at just over a hundred pounds with gas. I did have to take the case off and reattach a connector the came loose in shipping that controls the cold start/choke. Break in requires two oil changes I would recommend doing. I went with synthetic oil. 10w 30.
