Bought this generator for the sound level and maneuverability. It weighs just under a hundred pounds and I can load and unload this without any help. Have no issues with the unit at all. Added oil & gas, connected the battery and started it up. Done.
I purchased in August 2021 to augment my on board rv generator that was having issues (1997 generac). I plan on using in camp for hunting. I have been using over a month now and this unit was the talk in camp. One guy had the honda 3000 and was considering selling his and buying this unit. It has remote start, more powerful, just as quiet and comes with wheels, that the honda did not. I am at the 23 hr point and am changing the oil today (recommended is 25 hrs-close enough). I did put on the high altitude kit because I use it at 7000 ft. Runs awesome. The kit was a bit of a pain to put on. Could not find a good westinghouse video for installation of the high altitude kit. Onan has a good video and the units are nearly identical. Onan costs about 20-25% more.
Ample power, well presented and very convenient features. My application is residential emergency power with slightly over 2 KVA required so the iGen4500 was my choice to have some reserve capacity, the 30A connector and correct user interface. One connector to my distribution system and done.
I was in the market for an inverter/generator and this checked all the boxes. I did tons of research and watched even more video reviews of everything on the market and the iGen4500 was the best fit for me. Followed all the set up procedures and it fired right up and ran like a top. I hope that I get years of service out of this machine coupled with my travel trailer.
We bought this to use in our travel trailer. We got it last week and tested it outside 10 feet from our house. We could not even hear it when we closed our door. It handled several heaters and a coffee pot at the same time, no problem! This is going to turn out to be one of our best investments!
I needed a generator that was reliable and easy to start. I am on oxygen and need to keep the machine going even in a power outage, and also to power the refrigerator and freezer for a long outage. this one seems to meet the requirements that we have.
