Does the job quietly
on October 24, 2022
Posted by: Jomani
from Santa Maria, Ca
I have been looking at a variety of different generators to power my new 5th wheel. This isn’t something I will use very often - maybe 2 or 3 times a year when boon-docking. I have had generators in the past and seldom used them do to noise levels and weight, so both were important considerations for me. I wanted something that I could carry on the back of my 5th wheel when needed (easy to load and unload) and be able to setup 50 feet away and not know it is running.
While I haven’t had much time to run the new Westinghouse iGen 4500, I have to say I am impressed so far. Unboxing and setup was very straightforward. Added gas and oil, connected the battery and fired it up. I started small with the load - first a light, then a power tool until I got it up to what I thought was operating temperature. Then the big test - connected the 5th wheel in order to try the main 15k AC unit. I should note that I installed an internal EMS power protection unit on the 5th wheel and got an error code as soon as I connected the generator. Being very familiar with electricity and electronics, I immediately knew what the problem was - floating neutral. I was disappointed that the instruction manual doesn’t address this. After tying the neutral to ground (search YouTube for directions), the 5th wheel came to life.
I ran the generator through a number of different power scenarios and it handled all of them very well. Noise levels were very acceptable in my opinion. I didn’t find the suitcase handle to be very user friendly. For me, it is easier to pick it up by the two handles and load it on a custom rack on the back of my 5th wheel. Overall, I am very impressed with this generator. Only time will tell for durability and dependability.

Generator is exactly as described. Unfortunately it was broken from the start. The connector for the choke stepper motor was broken. We will see how the warranty department is.

We are very pleased with how quiet this generator is and how easy it is to use. It’s a great value and will be a great addition for boon-docking in the RV.

Just what I needed

Bought this as a replacement for an older non inverter generator. This has exactly what I need to run the furnace should the power go out. Although I have not been able to put it to its intended use yet, it performed well during testing.

Easy Start!!!

I recently purchased this amazing iGen4500 online.
I added synthetic oil, regular 89 octane gag with stability.
I used the electric start, started on the 1st try!
This will be great for dry camping in Arizona forestry roads!
Love it!
