The iGen4500 is a very nice quiet generator. It is very easy to use with push button start as well as remote start. Setup and initial startup was very straight forward. Looking forward to lots of camping trips with this generator in tow! Compared with Honda and Predator Generators and went with the Westinghouse for value and reliability.
We looked at a number of generators before deciding to purchase this model. It had a larger fuel storage and running time that we were looking for. Also the reviews we read indicated that this model was a quiter version which was very appealing as wen we go camping we didn't want to disturb the environment we were in. That it had both a manual and electric start was appealing. Having a digital data center was another plus such that we can monitor the unit's activity. Lastly, this unit is visually appealing
I purchased the iGen4500 on June 1st 2021 for the upcoming hurricane season. I have two neighbors that always provide electricity through extension cords but I had concerns about the "cleanness of the power coming through. I was attracted by the iGen 4500 long running time, quietness and impotantly, the clean power provided by the inverter
I just received this generator. Switched from a competing brand. So far I like the features this generator has over my previous one. The slide out handle, remote start and digital display are definite upgrades. We will see how it runs during the cold MN winter. Will wait on my final opinion until then.
Runs great and quiet. I'm having to take the side panel to move the choke manually as I can't find the unplugged cable for it to start up automatically. Engine won't start if you can't choke it.
