I just opened the box last night, folowwed the instructions. Put in the oil, hooked up the battery, put some gas in it, maybe a gallon for the break in. Turned on the battery power, pushed the start button and VOILA. This thing just fired up with no hickups. Runs smooth, checked the noise with my phone app, at 20 feet registered 43 db in eco mode, 46 on full power. You can't beat that. I noticed other people were complaining about rust at the gas tube and scratches on the unit. I had none of those. The unit is spotless, no scratches no rust. I ran it for 2 hours on eco mode, now I'm gonna change the oil. And of course the remote is the icing on the cake. This will be able to power my 24' travel trailer or back up my home. I have 3 Champion generators, a 4000 watt and two 2000 wats and they're great but this W estinghouse igen 4500 beats them all.

This is my first generator and I've been pleasantly surprised. The quick-start guide is straightforward and clear. Add oil. Add gas. Connect battery. Push button. Cranked up immediately and ran steadily. Handled a full load no problem and it really is a quiet generator. I'm 100% happy with my purchase and so happy to support a great American company!

I was excited for this generator as it came highly recommended. It's very quiet, powered my rv with 15,000 BTU AC with ease. Easy to move around, the remote start is awesome and then...2hrs in, the engine assembly holding the starter relay completely sheared off. Given the reviews, I thought I just got a lemon. I just received my replacement, and so far so good. Although, I'm cautiously optimistic.

I purchased this inverter generator to supplement my red 2000i inverter because it just doesn't have the muscle we needed as full-time RV'ers. I am happily surprised by this generator. It is just as quiet as my previous inverter and has more than twice the starting power. I followed the Quick Start Guide to the letter and it was easy, no issues, and the iGen4500 ran on the very first try with the remote fob in less than 10 minutes from unboxing. I completed the 20-hour oil change and it had only minor signs of metal or debris in the oil. I have not had it loaded past 40% but when connected, my multimeter indicates a stable 121 VAC and the engine seems to get less loud the more it runs. I really love the remote start and the value of this unit is excellent. It arrived in perfect condition and is exactly what I expected based on my research. This is not a small generator. It is easily over 115 pounds with fuel in the tank, so understand your limits in this regard. The collapsible handle and wheels make rolling it into place an easy task. The size of this inverter makes lifting it into the bumper mounted tray a task for two normal folks or one very strong person. It will easily start my 13.5K air conditioner and run normal items such as the battery charger/converter, the coffee pot or even our air fryer, but everything has a limit and you should still be careful loading this genset at a safe level in it's recommended range.

Purchased this generator to be used with my 19.3 No Boundaries RV. It runs the AC with no problems!!!! With my AC in full power, it is only pulling around 1,700 watts, which is almost 50% and that was in 103 degree Texas weather!! Worth every penny IMO!!!!

I bought this generator to run our horse trailer when we go to my sons rodeos. It’s super quiet and easy to haul in our trailer. I bought it thinking it would be easy for my wife and son could unload it and use if there was ever a time I couldn’t be there. This generator meets all my expectations!!!

I bought this generator based off of reviews on the internet. And I can say without a doubt it was an excellent purchase. I was looking for a powerful yet quiet generator. This generator does both of those very well. In fact I had the generator running with just the television running. I walked to the generator close enough that my leg was touching it. I called my dad (because I’m trying to talk him into getting the same one) and asked him if her could hear it over the phone. He couldn’t! I had a short conversation speaking in my normal voice. I don’t typically review products. But if your in the market for a good generator this is an excellent choice.

Just bought and came with everything needed to get started. Love the power start and remote key start. Like that its blue and came with funnel to add oil. Like it has plugs and USB charging ports. Not as quiet as expected but is quieter than cheaper models. Things I wish it has is a 30 amp with a twist lock versus just a plug in, and wheels in all 4 corners. Do like the pull out handle for moving it around.

We are very pleased with out purchase of this new Westinghouse Inverter Generator. We were concerned about finding one that was the right size for our needs, not too big but sufficient to power what we thought we needed to run during a important during a power outage. We are now just waiting to get the gauge 10 extension cords we ordered to be ready for the next storm. Now we are not concerned about the next storm.

We purchased this generator to power our home essentials during rolling black outs and to run our RV AC when camping. The telescoping handle makes moving the generator especially easy because it is heavy. I am most pleased with how quiet the generator is.
