compact with plenty of power generation

overall the simplicity of design, ease of mobility and yet formidable power supply allows this generator to be a far superior option to the old generator we had. set up was straightforward, tho overflow of oil fill seemed to occur too easily. one drawback was that we had to open up the chasis to access the choke, which was required to get the generator to start the first time. the choke should be adjustable from outside panel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Didn't work out of the box

Followed the manual for battery, oil and fuel setup. Started and it ran rough. Not wanting to tinker with a new device, I called customer support 7 days ago, haven't heard anything back. Rough running in their manual could be too much oil or lack of a high altitude kit. Then I read the comments...and lo and behold the electric choke cable was the culprit. You don't have to take the side off to see if yours is loose or like mine bent off the pins. You can look in the vent holes beneath the pull cord with a flashlight and see if yours is off or bent. I removed the bolts around the side, and the screws along the front and back faceplates, note* there is one underneath the rubber around the gas cap, those are all under little rubber caps. The pull cord stays in place and the panel can be moved to see what you are doing. Reconnected the plug for the choke, hot glued it in place and put it back together. It functions fine now.

iGen4500 Digital Inverter Generator
on August 16, 2021

from Lakeland, FL
Very happy with the Westinghouse iGen4500 digital inverter generator. Added the oil (included), gas, hooked up the batter and it started up the first time with the key fob. My previous rv had a "Quiet" built-in generator but my new iGen4500 is 1/4th the price and it is just as quiet as my old built-in generator. I was hesitant about adding the oil as I could see a possible spill inside the enclosed unit. No worries: An oil spout is included that actually screws into the oil filler hole. Break in period of 4 hours is recommended (max 50%), but it runs great. As the load increases/decreases, the rpm's rise/file per the specs. LED's are easy to read, including the fuel and run time remaining. Will have it running the RV in a few more days! I am a happy camper!

We bought this to supplement our RV power when we are unable to hook up to power. It does just fine and we are able to use all we want/need with it hooked up. Super quiet!

Powers all of my fifth wheel camper single A/C.
Changed oil after first day of use (12 hours). Would recommend to change oil way earlier. Did have a lot of metallic in the oil. Ran great started right up. Around hour 6 it started surging and had to clean carburetor jet. But it is definitely louder than a Honda 3000. Like the digital display but wish you could change unit of measurement. Does burn the grass behind generator. Overall good generator so far.
