Choke Access Sucks
on December 26, 2021
Posted by: easyabc123
Operating this generator requires choke adjusting.
Unfortunately, the choke is behind the side panel which requires removing five bolts. Phillips head bolts that will ware over time.
So, poor design in this regards.
So, poor design in this regards.
The choke should be assessable without removing the side panel.
Also, the remote on/off FOB is simpley a marketing bell with no whistle.
When the generator is remotely shut down. You will still need to go to the generator and manually shut off the battery so you don’t waste battery power.
And, you will need to close the gasoline valve so the engine does not flood.
Other than those design flaws, the generator works well, as hoped, for the moment.
Stay tuned.

Been working great so far on the fish house, buddies have other gennys that run like garbage, and always need to fiddle with them. This iGen4500 has been flawless thus far. Happy camper!

I am a 64-year-old lady, single, camping enthusiast, and I have no problem using this generator or moving it from my garage to my truck bed. It runs everything in my travel trailer, even the AC, while using the microwave. It's very quiet and I thoroughly enjoy it.

everything you could ask for

the westinghouse igen4500 has everything you coud ask for already included. The push button star makes starting easy, the remote control makes it great for not having to get out of camper in the middle of night to shut it down at bedtime or fire it up in the morning to heat up the camper without leaving the bed.
