As the iGen4500 and the iGen5000c are both Westinghouse generators, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.
Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Westinghouse iGen4500 compare to the Westinghouse iGen5000c.
- Power: With a running wattage of 3,900 W, the Westinghouse iGen5000c will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 3,700 running watts of the Westinghouse iGen4500. Moreover, compared to the 4,500 starting watts of the iGen4500, the iGen5000c and its starting wattage of 5,000 W will give more power to start the appliances which require an additional boost to get their motor running.
- Runtime: At a 25% load, these 2 portable generators offer the same runtime on a full tank. Each of them will be able to deliver power for up to 18 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: At the same load as mentioned above (i.e. 25%), both generators will approximately burn 0.19 gallon of gasoline per hour. Inverter generators like these 2 are of the most fuel efficient (and quiet) type.
- THD: Both generators offer a low THD (<3% for the Westinghouse iGen4500 and <3% for the Westinghouse iGen5000c) and are therefore perfectly suitable to safely power your sensitive electronic devices.
- Noise: Both devices have a noise rating (lower limit) of 52 dBA. If noise is important to you, neither of them will be easier on your ears.
Portability Comparison
- Bulkiness: As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
- Weight: With a weight of 104.7 lbs, the iGen4500 is slightly less heavy than the iGen5000c (which weighs 105.8 lbs).
- Portability: Both products benefit from a set of wheels, which greatly enhances their maneuverability. Both offer a telecospic handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.
Feature Comparison
- Starting System: Both devices can be started either via a pull-start mechanism or an electric starter. Both have the additional ability to be handily remotely started.
- Outlets: The iGen4500 and the iGen5000c both offer 3 AC outlets. None of them feature GFCI outlets. Both of them also feature a DC output. In addition, it is worth noting that they both only produce 120V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the iGen4500's and the iGen5000c's product pages.
- Data Center & Fuel Gauge: Each of these 2 portable generators is equipped with a data center allowing you to conveniently monitor some aspects of the power output. Besides that, for each product, the data center provides a digital fuel gauge allowing to see their fuel level at a glance.
- Technology: The Westinghouse iGen5000c benefits from a welcomed additional security feature: its CO monitoring technology watches carbon monoxide levels and automatically shuts off the generator if the ambient levels become unsafe.
