It's so quiet!!

I did alot of research online, looked alot of different generators. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 was supposed to be the most quiet with the lowest decibel rating, at the best price. When I got it set up and started up, it was obvious I had made a good purchase. (Oh, BTW, my wife thinks the remote start is cool!) We plan to use this with our new RV and plan to do as much remote "boondocking" as possible. This requires a generator strong enough to run the AC but quiet enough for us to sleep. I think we got it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I set up engine and started motor. Motor did not come up to speed. Smoked a lot.
I have seen many reviews about issues with the choke, so I pulled the side panel off and checked operation of the choke. It was stuck closed.. I manually opened it and the generator ran just like it should. i ran it for about 4 hours with about 1500 watt load and all went well.
I downloaded the Service Bulletin on the choke cable issue. I followed the instructions, pulled the front panel and reconnected the dangling connector.
Put everything back together and watched the choke operate as the motor was starting and all was good.
I am going to use this for power outages and I have every belief that it will perform as advertised when the time comes.

SUPER quiet!

I purchased this because I needed a quieter power option for my concession trailer but with enough power to run my commercial equipment. This is the quietest one I found with the wattage I need and I did not want to mess with two smaller units and a parallel kit. I wanted the dual fuel but it's sold out everywhere. Very good quality!

Quiet and Easy

I bought this based on 4500/3700 watt capacity to run my 15000 BTU AC in RV, and still have a little headroom for other items. First I broke it in a little then ran two hair dryers at 3100 watts with no problem, so I’m confident it will do the job. And it’s really quiet when idling or low load. Today I showed my wife how to operate in case I’m not around in power outage so she can keep the refrigerators running., The electric start, and remote start make that easy.
I would recommend this to a friend!
