WOULD NOT START !!!

The iGEN4500 units seem to have a ongoing problem with the choke as this one also has this same problem, after viewing some UTUBES I removed the right side cover and found that the choke was not plugged in, after I plugged it in everything worked OK. See pics

Choke issue. And stripped bolts.

The well known choke issue... is still an issue! My box was delivered lightly beat up but it has fome protection. Found the battery beet up from inside the generator. Acid cap broken off. Battery should have been secured with the supplied strap. Fired right up first time but was not vary smoth running. I questioned whether the choke was on still or not? Could not tell. It ran for two hours running my travel trailer ac only. And stalled due to filed plug! I guess that answers that. So fixing the choke plug sounded like an easy fix except for the 2 bolts that where stripped from the inside plastic incert! And now I had to clean the plug and the completely blocked. Spark answers from running so rich. After all that it smoked a little at ...

    Love the features on this generator

    We bought this for our travel trailer, it is exactly what was advertised and is very quiet, we looked at so many that were so loud then we found this one. So happy as we will be using it this weekend. Great product highly recommend. As a matter of fact we already told our friend to go buy one.

    Well designed generator, delivers as promised.

    We outgrew our 2200w Hon** suitcase inverter and needed to upsize. After doing some research and talking to other RVers we chose the igen4500. A bit sceptical since we didnt have any direct expierence with Westinghouse generators or inverters but the iGen4500 had lots of features for a very reasonable price. Especially appreciated how EVERYTHING was included in the box with the inverter... oil, tools, funnel and even a battery charger! Unit was very easy to prep for use and started up with a simple push of the remote. So far only have 30+ hours on the unit but to date it has performed very well and has easily exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend the iGen4500 to anyone.

    Backup Generator

    I purchased this item in June and appreciate the versatility, efficiency and low noise level. The only issue I had was hooking up to LP tank. There should be a flexible gas line at LP end rather than have direct hookup to reduce stress on connection. Overall very pleased with performance.

    Great Features and Quiet

    Really like the features... dual fuel, quiet, remote electric start, 30A RV connection, LED display. Battery stopped working after only two weeks, going to contact customer support to try and get battery replacement... will see how that goes. If not for hassle with failed battery, would have been 5 stars

    Super quiet!

    I bought this a couple weeks ago, my husband forgot gas for it. We have the dual fuel generator, so we just hooked it right up to the propane tanks on our camper and it worked wonderfully! Very quiet, the remote start is an amazing feature as well! We were able to run AC, coffee pot, and my hair tools all at one time!

    Good Generator

    Generator is quiet and a good value for the money. Fuel consumption and run time left not accurate when idle control is off - You need to leave it off if you're running an AC or large load. Had to return the 1st generator. Being used on the tongue of a Travel Trailer. Good fit vs. weight / size.

    Arrived with all parts and was up and running with

    Comes with tools and oil for setup. It was up and running within 30 minutes of taking it out of the box. Very quiet running generator. Has a handle for pulling it and 2 handle on top to lift it. Is a little awkward and heavy putting in the bed of truck by yourself.

    Works with ease

    This is my first time buying an inverter generator dual fuel generator and I'm impressed with how easy it is to operate. This is our first time owning a travel trailer also and I was nervous about having a generator and the difficulty in it but it is a super easy set up. All you do is plug in the battery, pour the oil and gas it up and it works perfectly. Powered my AC in the trailer no problem. And also the remote start is so nice to have.

    Great dashboard

    this unit with dual fuel , eliminates many problems with the fuel supply in many areas. 3 ways to start up unit is a blessing. Good to know this reliable unit will be here IF and when needed, But also hoping I only have to use it ONCE a year for testing reasons.

    Did alot of research

    Did a lot of research before buying this generator for home and trailer use. Read from reviews that it is incredibly quiet and YES, it is. Very impressed with the easy setup and overall operation of the generator. So far, I am pleased with the purchase.

    Quality product at reasonable price.

    Unit operates as advertised and powers my RV A//C while using other appliances. Only negative I've encountered is limited space in compartment housing oil change location, You have to be careful not to make a mess, fault ergonomic engineers. Otherwise it's performed well for 20 hrs, very satisfied.

    Very nice design and great features.

    Very well engineered with easy to pull out handle for moving it around. Dual fuel feature on this particular model which is a big convenience. It has enough power to run my RV and I can start it up remotely. The only negative is I would like to have a 12V outlet which is not available

    Better than expected

    After extensive research I knew that the IGEN4500DF was what I was looking for. I wanted quiet running, long run time, clean power and duel fuel option. The electric start with remote was a bonus. I found nothing in it's price range that even came close. First, very fast shipping and truly a plug and play. Everything comes in the box. No trips to the hardware store. It is quieter than my 2000 watt inverter. General impression, it looks and feels like good equipment.

    Simply the Best

    I bought this generator as a power source for my 40' fifth wheel. We plan on traveling for a few months at least and have used this generator for places we camp with no shore power. It has plenty of power to run what I need including the one rooftop A/C. Easy to start!! whether pushing the button for Electric start or one (maybe 2) pulls on the cord (for when i let the battery die), it has started right up. It's been fantastic for getting things running so the family can get inside after a long day of driving, or just for the comforts of day to day power usage.

    Compact and QUIET!

    I researched generators for our Toy Hauler for over a year and finally decided on this Westinghouse iGEN4500DF. The dual fuel is perfect! Easy start up and operation. VERY quiet. Weighs under a hundred pounds so can be lifted and moved with ease. Even easier with the pull out handle that makes it as easy as pulling my old little red wagon! All controls and indicators are easily read and understood. Very well engineered! Works great with our 30 AMP RV hook up. In future, will be off road boondocking for sure!

    Whole House Back Up

    I purchased this generator right before Beryl hit and it helped us get through the few hours we had without power. We were one of the lucky ones here in Texas to not have to go days without power. I loved the ease of everything from starting to draining the oil. Especially draining the oil. Westinghouse makes it very easy. This generator is a bit on the heavy side but for what can do it's well worth it.

    Warranty and Generator Both Work

    It took a while, but Westinghouse did send a replacement generator for the reconditioned unit that had an overload problem in the inverter. Thank you! I have tested the new unit, and it is easy to start and works great. Having to have the Run switch on to start and run the generator and having it stay on after turning off with the remote is a problem, but I can live with it. JRM

    Great Features

    I just received the generator. The main purpose of use will be for camping. I have no doubt that I would be able to use it minimally, for my home if needed. This generator has great features such as dual fuel, electrical outlets, USB, remote start and wheels to easily move when on the ground. It is quiet. I am satisfied with my purchase so far.

    Great features

    Purchased less than a year ago and have had no issues at all. We use it exclusively with our 5th wheel trailer and it seems to be as quiet or quieter than any other generators we have encountered. The remote start is awesome especially if the weather is not cooperating.

    Performance under actual backup situation

    The iGen4500DF performed as expected during a 4+ hour power outage. It appeared to have no problem powering: refrigerator, freezer, microwave, coffee maker, 2 circuits of lights and receptacles. This generator runs quietly, relatively speaking. It is very easy to set up and connect loads to.
