Inexpensive but good!

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I'm so happy I did. I now have peace of mind knowing that I will be prepared the next a winter storm hits and we are left without electricity for a week. From the other reviews that I've seen, I should be well prepared.

Started up on 1st start and seems to run perfect.

I’ve bought this unit after seeing one like it at our local RV Dealer. They carry the exact thing labeled by Onan. I like how quiet it is and the fact that it is big enough to run everything in my RV. The pricing I got on this unit was better than that of the Onan.

Great inverter!

I bought it and by the time it got here, a hurricane had already hit our area. The inverter powered up the fridge, a freezer, a small electric stove, the WiFi, a computer, a couple of fans and a few small electronics and only about 25% output capacity was achieved. With the energy efficiency feature, a full tank last about 18 hours. Simple to manage. Highly recommended!

Not recommended for first time buyer

Received new generator with noticeable rust at fuel tank neck. Immediately contacted Westinghouse who ensured me this is normal. Ran generator to make sure every thing worked (using sta-bil added fuel). Tested generator 2 month later to make sure every thing worked fine before storm season but generator would not maintain power and kept turning off. Checked online and found service bulletin with instruction on manual fix by opening the cover and manually adjusting choke. So assumed this was known issue and dropped off at local service center. I am told the carburetor was gummed/dirty and this would not be covered under warranty. Called up Westinghouse and service rep politely read instructions: for "2 month storage the float bowl has to be emptied of fuel". Not having emptied the fuel from the float bowl broke the generator in 2 month. Hard to believe that if I had turned on the generator few days earlier, the generator would had work. The fact that there is a service bulletin that was created to temporary fix this exact problem actually exists suggests there is a model wide quality issue. Also Westinghouse claiming rusted fuel tank is normal also suggests this model is cheaply made. Can not recommend for first time generator users. I suspect the rust and carburetor issues are tied. Also, this generator requires lots of maintenance that must be followed accurately. Being 1 day late will break unit.

Powerful Luggage

Bought this to have a backup power source for Freezers and electronics when the power goes down. Have not had a chance to test it yet, but did fire it up, that was easy and it was pretty quiet. I like the Luggage type pull handle to move it , makes it easier on us weaklings.

Came, Started and Ran ...

We need a generator for occasional power outages in South Texas. So we looked at a number of units and finally decided to buy this unit. The price was almost too good to be true. It came by freight just two days later, we looked up the start-up procedure and had it running in 5 Minutes. We couldn't try it in the house because we needed a converter cable, but we hooked up the house two days later. The genset purred like a kitten and powered everything (not 240 v devices) at around 2500w with ocassional spikes up to 3600w. This generator can easily be moved around by one person, it has sturdy plastic panels and is really quiet. Love it.

Great Generator

Just purchased my second IGen4500 after how good the first has done. Unboxed the first one and immediately took it hunting to run my trailer. Fired up great and ran in 15-20 degree weather with no problems all week. Fuel consumption is awesome with eco setting. Generator is very quiet and even when it is 3 am. Can’t wait to parallel these.

Great features

I purchased this Generator ( my firist one ever) for a camping trip to power a 22 foot bumper pull camper. This unit worked flawlessly. followed the instructions and had no issues. Just read reread and made sure I did not miss anything in preping. Hope to use again in the next 4 weeks when it is colder.

Even more quiet than expected!

For camping I have upgraded from the Predator 2000 series to a Champion 3750 with remote, to the Westinghouse 4500 with remote. We love it, can't believe how quiet it is, easy to handle, and fits in the basket on the back of the camper for easy transport. The best part is, we don't even have to move it to use it!
