So far so good, expectations high
on September 22, 2020

Just received. Box showed minor abuse in transit, but packaging protected product. Love the size, access to maintenance areas, id labels for everything, slide away handle and carry handles. After much research, I decided on the iGen4500 as my first ever generator. Positive customer reviews had much to do with it, but so did the features and specifications for this unit. I am looking forward to giving it a test run.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Conversation quiet!
on September 22, 2020

First the good: This thing is so quiet you can stand next to it and have a conversation. I put my sound meter next to it and got low 60s decibels, that is about the level of a conversation. Compare to my 6000W monster at mid-70s which you have to shoot over (mid-70s is like sitting in heavy traffic). Push button start, remote start, easy to maneuver with the retractable handle, all good stuff. Haven't plugged the camper into it yet but have no doubt she can handle it and I won't be drowning out the neighbors.
So the not-so-good: it arrived damaged. No apparent damage on the box. I was on the lookout for that after seeing other reviews. The damage is to a bracket on one of the side panels that holds the threads for the back panel to screw into. It was completely snapped off. I have a support request into Westinghouse so if that resolves then it is 5-star! The only other "could be better" is if the oil plug was a little farther out so that spilled oil didn't sit in the housing and it might be easier to do an oil change. They do give you a nice funnel to make it work but there is still a little spilling. Super minor

Just got this!

from Richmond, Ca
I got this home and hooked up the battery (easier than the instructions) put the oil in, added gas and hit the start button. Voila! Started right up. It is charging my trailer’s batteries. Haven’t taken it on the road yet but so far, so good. Only complaint is that the access to the oil cap is a bit small but otherwise I am happy.

Very quiet!

I've owned a half dozen generators of various sizes. This unit is compact, easy to set up and crazy quiet. After getting it started and putting 2 hair dryers on it to load check it, it has so far exceeded my expectations.
