Easy to start with three different ways to start the engine.

Easy to start. Require very little effort to start manually. The remote allow for great convenience when we needed to start from a distance. Very quite. In economic mode the generator ran super-quite and the noise level hardly change with additional load except for the initial surge when power hungry equipment (example A.C.) were stared. Love the wheels at one end and the RV plug.

Very Quiet

We needed a quiet generator option for our rv. After much research we decided this was the generator for us. It did not disappoint. We can have a conversation right next to the generator and don't have to raise our voices. We are happy and so are our neighbors!

Started First Try

My iGen4500 was delivered today, I put fuel and oil in it, turned the fuel switch on and waited for a minute for the fuel to drain into the carburetor bowl, turned the battery switch on and pressed start. It started the first try even not having fuel in it during shipping. Very satisfied so far!

Nice features, but choke problem is a bummer!

I purchased for the high power rating and the remote start. Unfortunately reviews I saw talked about a choke problem. Turns out I have the issue as well. The "auto" choke function for the electric start does not work. So you have to open up the engine panel and manually choke in order to start. This defeats the purpose of a remote start. I like the quietness and hope the high power rating will run my RV A/C unit well.

Easy start. Quiet. Puts out rated power

Bought primarily for RV power in primitive camps. Will do a good job of running AC appliances and keeping battery charged. May get a second one to parallel power to house in case of outage. Well pleased with it. One suggestion: Owner manual says to siphon fuel from tank. Should also mention that there is a screen cup in filler neck that will have to be removed before tube can be inserted. Most people probably figure this out but a heads-up about this would be helpful. My model not listed in drop down box. It is a 2200ixlt

So thankful for this Generator!!

We have been without power for 36 hours since hurricane Helene came through SC. I purchased this unit two years ago and it sat in the garage since. We hastily opened yesterday. Took us about 20 minutes to get it out of the box and set up with gas. One pull…we had a quiet and 100% working machine. We are only using it for fans and WiFi but what a wonderful thing to have! So incredibly grateful for it! It’s quiet and has yet to use 5 gallons of gas. Highly recommend!!!

iGen4500

I just recently purchased the iGen4500 to use with my RV when boon docking. It has the power to run everything in my camper with no issues. Very pleased with the performance and so pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is. When I am inside the RV I can barely hear it. If the A/C is on, I can’t hear the generator at all.

Great generator

We used our generator in July in TN in 90+ degree weather. It was able to cool the camper from above 99 degrees to about 80 degrees in about 2-3 hours. It is very quite, it was able to keep us cool all night on one tank of fuel. The generator is light enough that my wife and I can easily load/unload into the back of the pickup truck.

Quiet and efficient

Bought this for our RV and a backup for the home power in case it goes out. Seems pretty quiet and easy to use. The oil is a bit hard to fill but it came with a funnel. I'm sure I'll misplace it though when it comes time to add oil again. Overall happy with the purchase.

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.
