so far so good

Just got the iGen4500, hooked up the battery, added oil, added gas and it started right up. the float drain was left open from the factory causing it to leak gas right away, but that was an easy fix. I'll have to put some hours on it to really give a good review but so far so good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've only ran it a couple hours for break in, but with my outdoor mini fridge and swamp cooler it never had to run above idle to handle the load. The remote start function is slick!

I received my iGen4500 a day earlier than expected. The directions on the initial start up were very thorough and simple to understand. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and look forward to many years of use. Way to go Westinghouse!!!

One out of three is bad

The generator is nice compact and super quiet. The display panel gives the power and the voltage but adding Amps would be a plus. Because the generator surges at startup, the only way to get it to start and run smoothly is to remove the side panel which would not be good in an emergency. The generator needs an access panel for the choke without having to pull the whole side. The remote start is a nice feature but totally pointless. The manual states nothing should be plugged in to the receptacles and the generator should not be under load at start up. If you have to go outside and plug everything in after it is running why even have a remote start. The handle makes it nice to maneuver but it is tucked underneath the generator so an older person has trouble bending over to grasp the handle. It needs to be redesigned to accommodate less agile users. The generator comes with a spark plug wrench, oil and funnel as well as a battery charger. The instruction say or add the entire contents of the oil container but don’t because it will overfill the reservoir causing the excess oil to spill out. I really like the concept of this generator and I think with a few modifications it could be a really great unit but In the current running condition I am reluctant it will be fully operational when needed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
