I need to power a 28' RV for both AC use in Summer and Winter and run the generator all night for my astronomy imaging equipment. I shopped around and listened to various generators and settled on this iGen4500 due to three key features: 1. had to be under 55 dB at 25% load (this unit measured 54 at 25 ') 2. Had to have a remote start (check!) 3. Had to have at least the three year warranty (check!) Bought the unit from Lowes on Jan 22 and picked it up on a Wednesday and loaded up for Florida Keys on Friday. Monday, after reaching Scout Key for the annual Winter Star Party, I added oil and fuel then fired up the iGen4500. The remote worked flawlessly and my genny was the quietest one in it's size class. I built a simply old-style 'tent' over the unit in case of rain and directed the exhaust towards US 1 (always busy 24/7). About 400 astroimagers on the Key and maybe 30 came by to check out my iGen4500. Everyone was impressed and we took dB readings at 20, 35 and 50'. At 50' it was about 52 dB and after some simple noise baffling using the cardboard box and a piece of plywood you cut down the rumble even more! I changed the oil at 19 hrs and though a bit tricky to do without spilling any oil, it wasn't too challenging. Unit ran flawlessly rest of the week. I'll be using it at other dry campling (no power/water/sewer) events throughout 2019 and look forward to enjoying this genny!!

Bought this because our old conventional generator was too loud and annoying during an extended power outage at our home. This unit is very quiet and should be safer to use with our electronic devices. We won't have to refuel as often with the larger tank and easier for my wife to use with the electric starter.

I am excited to try out this new inverter generator. Right now we have been using a regular generator and cannot use it for extended periods because it's so loud. I love the fact that it has push start option, and on off remote fob. The eco feature is awesome, too.

I really like the way this generator is designed. Its basic construction looks well-done (I peeked under the plastic in several places). Plus there is an attention to detail that seeks well of to. For example, the generator comes with its own funnel for adding oil, AND the funnel screws into the filler neck - no spills! Ran it for an hour and drained the oil - no filings or discoloration on of the oil, very clean. Takes a sudden load very well - a dip, then right back to needed rpm. Very pleased!

I have several other Westinghouse Power Stations ie. iGen600 and iGen300. The iGen4500 was a great addition. I especially like how quiet this generator is. And, in addition I like the fact you can monitor the Kw load on the Generator in real time. This helps prevent overloading the generator. Bottom-line, this is a great product!

The generator was deliveredtimely and in great condition. Everything appears to be in working order, although I haven’t owned it very long. Time will tell. I purchased this generator over others, because I add value to the Westinghouse brand. So far, they haven’t disappointed me.

I bought the iGen5000c generator for our camper. The reason I purchased the Westinghouse because of a review from a friend. The generator handles the air conditioner and the other needs with no problem. It is a very dependable and quiet. I highly recommend it.

I bought this item expecting an extremely capable QUIET generator and I was not disappointed. This thing powers everything in my home with the exception of the AC unit and water heater but I knew that coming in. The only complaint I have is that the AUTO Choke was not working straight out of the box. Apparently this is common with this unit and I actually had to open it up and re-connect a cable to the control board. Was kind of a pain and wasn't happy about it but now the generator is great.

This is one of the best generators i have ever used. I use it with my travel trailer when we camp on the beach. it is super quiet so it doesn't annoy the neighbors and i love the remote on/off option. no more having to run outside! its so much easier to move than my original. My only complaint is that the label that has the serial number on it has completely eroded.

My first 2-3 startups of this generator were a little slow and I figured cold start, priming etc, but the 4th time it wouldnt start at all. I checked all the basic maintenance issues like oil, flooding, spark plug and then I went to google. Apparently during manufacturing, a large number of these generators have a wire that controls the automatic choke that is simply not connected, or is connected loosely and just pops out while running the first time or 2. Once the wire was reattached, the generator starts the first time and runs like a dream.
