iGen500c was delivered a week ago. Setup was reasonably straightforward. I suggest you look at one of the 'unboxing and starting' videos on you tube before you start. That makes it quite easy to do. Started on second pull of the cord. A few minutes, then shut it down. Then tested both the push button and remote electric starts. Both worked very well. Ran it for about 45 minutes with different loads (within the 50% limit during break-in) and it responded well on adding them and adding power.
Finally did a decibel level check at 5 locations, where I had taken numbers for on my old generator the previous week. Excellent results, it ran a minimum of 25% quieter than the old Generac, and the sound is a very tolerable low hum rather than a roaring beast.!!
Will be running it once a week to get through the break-in and first oil change
I bought this product just a couple of weeks ago and love it. Works great for my RV. I like the fact that if i want to run the whole RV i could just get another one and link them, but for now I’m just happy i can run 1 a/c and everything else in a pinch.
this is second westinghouse inverter I have purchased. The first one was stolen at storage. Very quiet, love remote start and stop. A little heavy to pickup to put in truck but handle helps moving around campsite.
