I used this with a Reliance Controls Pro/Tran 30-Amp 6-Circuit transfer switch. I converted the TT-30P on the unit with a NEMA TT-30P to L14-30R RV Generator Adapter,30 Amp 3 Prong to 4 Prong Adapter. I understood I would only be hooking up 120 volt circuits and did not have need for 240.Given the size of the unit, it felt adequately powerful and efficient. I left eco off and it fired right up on first start on propane with remote start fob (which was already paired). I started with one switch moved to generator from line and tested if it it could tote my Frigidaire FHPC082AC1 portable air conditioner and gaming PC which it didn't even break a sweat on. I flipped a couple more rooms on, another computer, tv, some lights, and barely hit 25% at times when the AC did the inrush of current to engage the compressor and it dropped back down. I kept it under 1.5 kVA and ran it for an hour alternating the loads (supposed to not exceed half capacity for the first five hours). It ran like a top, and I look forward to using the generator again. Very satisfied. performance, and ease of use of the electricity generator. They mention it's super quiet, performs fantastically, and is easy to unpack and set up. Some appreciate that it starts up right away, is easy to carry, and puts out plenty of power. They also mention the remote start is a great feature and appreciate the build quality.

I received the iGen 4500 about a week ago in order to provide portable power for our new 30 foot trailer. My wife and have tested the unit and found the set up relatively easy. I added the oil but errored and didn't screw in the small yellow oil stopper and gauge correctly and slightly overfilled the oil reservoir. You must be sure to screw in the stopper straight in order to get an accurate gauge reading of oil level. I had to use a bulb syringe and remove about one ounce of oil until the gauge showed that I had the proper amount of oil. My wife started the unit via the key fob and it immediately fired up and ran without hesitation. In fact, each start of the motor resulted in a successful start the first attempt each time. The instructions advise to run the unit for 5 hours at half or less of the stated capacity and we are 3 hours into that process now. We have kept the unit in the shade but despite the elevated summer temperatures of the low California desert, the unit is running flawlessly. We decided to run the RV air conditioner using the 30-amp outlet. We decided to purchase the gasoline single powered unit to contain costs and figured that gasoline is available everywhere and would suit our purposes just fine.Having heard many generators over the years, this unit runs relatively quiet and only modestly increased in volume when we ran the unit and about half its stated capacity. The unit provided consistent power to the ac unit with no problems. I did not notice any excessive heat and the unit sounded very consistent in a relatively low noise level. The retractable handle allows easy maneuverability, and I was able to move the unit and store it in the garage after each use. The controls and buttons and digital screen readouts are well placed and allows the user to easily monitor the functions of the generator. The unit provided clean power to run a television within the RV. We decided to purchase an inverter type for the RV as I have a television and expect to use various two-way radios and scanners inside the RV and the inverter type provides a better wave form for electronics. Other type of generators might harm sensitive electronics and circuits, so we opted for the inverter type with cleaner waveform generation. As per the manual, it recommends the purchase of a high-altitude kit (which I ordered) for use over 2000 feet. I'm not sure how 2000 feet is considered high altitude but I ordered the kit as many of our destinations will be at elevations over 5000 feet. I watched a YouTube video and it seems like replacement of the small fuel flow element will take quite a bit of work to open the case, remove a few parts and install the element. I will have to see how the unit performs at different elevations. Thus far, my wife and I are happy with the functionality of the generator and recommend others to purchase this unit.

I've had this generator for 9 months. The electric start feature is great. It always starts up easily. One time after not using it for a while the battery was low, but the manual pull-start was simple to use. The power output is consistent. It is quiet. It is easy to move with the wheels and pull handle. The two handles on top make it easy to lift. I very glad I bought it.

Pros:- includes detailed instructions and a replacement parts list- compact size; easy to move with wheels and telescoping handle- very quiet operation- electric start is quick; recoil start is nice to have as a backup- easy to switch between gasoline and propane- great value for the money spentCons:- main access door requires removal of five bolts- dipstick is difficult to re-install due to location and short length of oil fill neck- funnel should be about three inches longer for easier oil filling; threaded connection should help with oil draining

Exactly as advertised. Simple setup, fired up on the first try, and is very quiet!

Just got this one delivered today. Its heavy but once maneuvered around it was easy to unbox and setup. Not really anything to put together. Just fill it up with oil and supply your choice of fuel. For me I took the propane bottle from the grill just to test things out. I sure am glad I got the dual fuel. After connecting the battery I turned the switch to on and pushed the start button. She started right up and ran until I turned it off. Here in Florida hurricane season is never far away. This a great looking compact and quiet unit that should help us make it though the times we are without grid power. Excellent buy.

I purchased the IGEN 5000 Watt dual fuel it’s a great product hooked it up to propane after adding oil and it fired right off, runs nice and very quiet, you can have a conversation standing next to it. Runs my camp trailer perfectly which was my main reason for purchase. Very pleased with the generator. The build quality is great and looks nice. Great quality for the price.

Only 5 hours on it but runs great. Could be a bit quieter but it doesn’t cost 3500 like the Yamaha equivalent. Remote and electric start work well. Only issue I had was the auto choke wiring came lose in shipping so it wouldn’t start on a cold morning but I manually choked it and it was fine and after connecting the auto choke harness again it never skipped a beat on a zero degree day.

Loved it but it quit working within a year. Took it to the repair service they referred us to four months ago. Still not done. Says its a parts issue. Will research repair options before I buy another Westinghouse product.

UPDATE: Received a new gas cap under warranty this week from Westinghouse directly. Their service is awesome as they sent me the part right away without any hassle or questions. Fill it with gas and it started up right away. After letting It run for a bit with a 10% load I hooked up my portable air compressor that pulls 15 amps initially on startup. This generator handled it like a champ. I’m giving this review 5 stars now.I like the generator, however the gas cap was on too tight and broke while trying to add gas to it for the first time. Very flimsy plastic that could not take the stress. Wish it was a better design with a steel interior instead of flimsy plastic. How am I going to get a new one to replace the broken part?

Generator works great easy to start can talk and can talk over noise no problem

Just got this inverter, order it on 18th of Jan. the order stay there for four days before it was shipped,then saidwould get it sometime between Jan 30th and Feb 24, The inverter landed at my door on Jan 25th. not sure how theydid that one, but it was a surprise. now the inverter put oil in and gas, connect battery, turned gas on hit the electric start button, it hardly roll over before it started, runs quiet. CONS, bigger then i though . no spark plug wrench or funnel that was suppose to be with the oil. will try on RV later, Had a 3500 watt generator not quite enough for air conditioner and two loud for camp grounds. i would say with gas in IGEN 4500 would weight 130 pounds.
