This replaces another brand 6500 watt low thd generator. This inverter is so much quieter and provides all the power I need to run the whole house necessities like the gas furnace and water heater the refrigerator and the freezer with enough left over to watch a lcd tv and a couple of lights.
Box came damaged but inside unit was unharmed. Got this unit as a backup in case of power outage. Started right up out of box. Only had it for a few days but so far I'm happy with purchase.
Bought unit in october 2020. Initial setup was straight forward and generator performed as described. I have maintained it as required, started to keep battery charged etc... Went out today, and it appears as though battery is dead, and I had to choke it to get it to start manually. Started on second pull. Charging battery overnight to see what happens. One would think the battery would last longer than 6 months.
I love my Westinghouse iGen4500. I am so glad that I have one considering the number of storms we had so far; it is a lifesaver. I like that it has 4500W to support half of my house and it is quiet compared to other generators in my neighborhood.
