Bought this for my boat and I continually get comments about how quiet it is, which is very important when you are out in nature. Had a little trouble at first with one of the internal gears sticking but it hasn't been a problem since. Also, it only shuts off when I turn off the fuel which takes a few minutes but is not an issue. I like how solid it is and doesn't take up a lot of space.

I’m 5 running hours in and really liking this generator. The digital sensor panel is great and the inverter really delivers on reduced overall weight and noise. My only complaint is the lack of clear instructions in the manual on using a very level surface to avoid tripping the low oil sensor. I was in an area close to level the first time i used it and almost gave up after a support call and hour of troubleshooting. They eventually sent an email suggesting a level surface.

I have sold many brands of generators over the years including the Onan 4500 which is basically the same as this Westinghouse 4500. The Onan was a great trouble free generator so I could not pass this up for the cost of the Westinghouse versus the Onan. Put the oil and fuel into the generator and if fired right up with the remote, couldn't be happier with the purchase.

I've just bought the iGen4500 and it is now my 4th Westinghouse generator (I've had a WH2400i and I still have a pair of iGen2500's) and I've been very pleased with them all. The only complaint I've had with the smaller generators (which I run in parallel) is that they don't hold enough fuel so I have to refuel them 2 or 3 times during a track day which is very inconvenient. I tried adding an extended run generator and that went really well until the hot summer days came along and vapor lock set in. So, I finally gave up and decided to just buy an iGen4500 with its much larger tank which I'm hoping will allow me to get through a track day without refueling.

Just bought this a few days ago from a big box home store. I’m giving it 4 stars based on initial inspection and only a few hours of use. If it continues to run like it has been, in six months I’ll upgrade my rating to 5 stars. Unboxing was uneventful, units fit and finish were good, plenty of useful data placarded on the exterior to help guide you through simple procedures. Unit came with 600 ml bottle of oil and a very handy funnel to add or change engine oil. I added the entire contents of the bottle, filled the gas tank and connected the starting battery. Two pushes of the start button had the genny idling smoothly. After an hour of running with a very light load I connected the genny to my rv and ran the air conditioner, a 15k AC. The generator had no problems changing to the higher load and didn’t miss a beat. I checked the remote fob and it operated correctly. At this point the only question I have is that the manual identifies four different displays on the data center but on my generator the data center has five possible displays. I’m assuming the fifth display is total run time. If not I’ve already ordered a digital hour meter that will count run time. If this generator continues to start, run and meet my electrical load demands then I’ll consider this money well spent.

Got my iGen5000 a month ago and I've put 15 hours on it so far. Works just as advertised, and I love the key fob start/stop. Only problem is the fuel gauge consistently reads about 40% the actual amount of fuel. Other gauges in the data readout that use the fuel gauge also affected.

We bought the iGen4500 for a cross country trip. It traveled 4800 miles on a hitch haul wrapped in a tarp and still works perfectly. We use dispersed camping so we let the generator run all night and had no problems. Since that trip we've used several times closer to home. It allows us to keep warm in our tent and even run a 4k smart TV with plenty of power to spare. I will mention though that a high altitude kit MUST be bought if you're headed to the mountains. We camped at 10,000 feet and were glad we prepared.

I bought this for a 20' Travel trailer to power my AC 13,500btu and also to run the microwave if needed, upon reading other reviews this fit my needs perfect to run AC and microwave or to charge phones and run a small fan, more than enough watts and power. Its plenty quiet as is and would be more quiet if you put it in a genny box like im going too, of course with adequate ventalation. The price and power this thing makes is the right price than any where else that "marks up" price for "camping RV use" Follow proper break in inside the manual, im running a space heater on high and its a about 25% which is sufficent as im under the 50% power (1850) watts So if you want to power ac microwave and some misc small things, this iGen4500 will do just that

I just set this up and tried it out. It is very easy to operate and is even quieter than I thought it might be. I'm impressed they got this much wattage to come out of a unit as quiet and relatively light as this is. I have not used it in action with the Airstream yet but am confident it will work fine. I read some of the negative reviews before I ordered this (I find the best info can come from the negative reviewers as long as you can distinguish the ones that know what they're doing from the ones that don't know what they're talking about or just want to whine). It seems the worst complaint was having to manually adjust the choke if you were restarting the unit warm. They must have fixed that issue because I could not duplicate it. If anything changes for the worse once tested "under fire", I will update this review accordingly. Summary, thus far this is a great unit that performs as claimed. A great value and highly recommended

I bought this for the sole reason of not wanting to have multiple generators to power our camper. I have to say the IGen4500 runs everything with out a problem. It’s easy to use and large enough to keep things running in the house if my main generator fails. The best part is the price compared to other that are half the power!
