Just purchased and am impressed by how quiet it is and fuel capacity is great for overnight runs. So far I’m very impressed by the remote and electric start. Only down fall which is minute is the oil fill cap is hard to get my big hand in to restart to put back on.
Meets all of my needs. Handle makes moving it very easy. Very quiet. Wheels could be a little wider making it easier to move in soft soil or sand. The remote feature is WONDERFUL as I use it for my RV. The display provides a lot of useful information.
Right out of the box I knew I was in trouble, my 4500 flooded with fuel and the auto choke was not working, could not start unless I used Manual choke. I sent this issue into the tec boys at Westinghouse and they really came thru. They sent me a e-mail that explained some time the wiring gets disconnected from the back of the starter housing "motherboard". It did take some dis-assambley to reach it but once reconnected the unit roared to life, can't wait to us it in the field. Thanks again TEC guys. Mike W.
The iGen4500 replaces a Yamaha EF2400iSHC purchased in 2017 at the beginning of our RV travels. Wish I had had this all along. Really nice upgrade with the added digital readout and it started right up with the included battery. Remote. Handle & wheels. Quiet. Fits under the tonneau covers on our F150 and F350. Really happy with this purchase!
