Bought this iGen4500 for backup power at home during outages. Very easy setup and a nice, compact size. Easy to move with the wheels and handle. Always starts easily with the punch of a button, and the remote is a nice feature. Will not power the whole house, but plenty of power to keep the essentials running during an outage. Very happy to have made this purchase.

We have been using two 2000 parallel units and look forward to using only one 4500 inverter generator. We wanted a remote start/stop. Arrived in timely manner. Removed engine service cover and unable to resecure one cover screw, but others held. Like the idea of using parallel-operation with a variety of other Westinghouse inverter generators.

Received my igen4500 several days ago, product was packaged well and everything needed to start was included except gas of course. Instructions on startup was clear and easy. Generator seems to be constructed well and I love the handle, wheels, and especially the remote. The generator started on the second try, understandable because the carb had to fill with fuel. I was surprised at how quite this generator is. I definitely hope to get good service from this machine because I am impressed so far.

I purchased the iGen4500 for our fifth wheel trailer and expect to purchase a second to run in parralel for a home back up. So far, thru break in and initial run in and test, the generator has not disappointed. The manufacture, fit and finish, and overall quality is impressive. First real test in two weeks. jh

after another week long power outage, using a less than stellar noisy generator, I sprang for the Westinghouse iGen4500, money well spent! with everything I need to run in the house having sensitive electronics, I needed an inverter generator to protect the fridge, freezer, TV, stereo...all the important stuff! A surge suppressor will not save them from a cheap generator! This machine is incredibly quiet, and seems to be extremely fuel efficient, which is great when the gas stations all around you are also out of power! Something to note though is the outlet for your generator cord is NOT a 30A Twist-Lock like most generators, it's a TT-30 style. don't get caught with the wrong plug when you need it most!:)

Purchased this unit for our camper, and the remote start was a must. Easy to start and maintain. The noise levels are low. Easy to move around with the extendable luggage handle. There is also a dual fuel version of this available with the remote start feature which is hard to find at the moment.

Works great once you remove all the covers and locate the electrical connections for the automatic choke. The plug is not connected so you have to manually close the choke to get the unit to start. After this 15 min fix it works great and starts everytime. This seems to be a common issue so home the mfr fixes this not everyone mech knowledge.

After reading several reviews lining the iGen4500 against the Cummins similar model, I opted for Westinghouse and with the $ savings, picked up a service contract. Unit was received in good condition just 4 days after ordering, GA to NC. Followed instructions and got down to putting it thru its paces. Quite warm the day I connected my trailer to it. No disappointment! AC, microwave, overhead lights and a plugged in fan all running concurrently. Generator has a very slight delay in accelerating as units come online, but over an hour's worth, power off's and on's, ran great.

Just picked this up yesterday. Followed the simple setup instructions for fuel, oil, and battery. Turned on the fuel and battery switches and pressed the start/stop button. Turned over twice, started immediately, and idled smoothly. Today I plugged in my R-Pod trailer, and the generator smoothly picked up all loads including AC and microwave. Fuel gauge and run time remaining both show all zeros or it would have been 5 stars. I don't consider them essential, but will contact support.

Recently received the iGen4500 and I am pleased as to how quiet it is. I am able to start and stop using the remote from a considerable distance. The ability to maneuver it with the extended handle and wheels is a real plus given that I am a 60+ year old woman! I’m glad that a friend and I had researched generators and found the igen4500 to be the best one for my needs.
