Great all around generator

This is the perfect generator for my 25' travel trailer. The slide out handle makes it super easy to maneuver, and it is still light enough to lift in and out of the pickup truck. It was surprisingly quiet as well. Definitely will recommend this generator to friends and family!

So far good but has a choke problem

I have seen some of these this year camping and I needed just a little more power from a 3500 watt generator so I purchased it since it was cheaper then the Onan 4500 same type just blue, it has been running great used it for the first time this weekend ran the 15K AC just fine but it has one little problem so far I have to go out and turn the manual choke on when starting the switch it off starts right up after that it starts up with remote all day, next morning same thing have to choke it then it runs all day no problems. I thought this had and electronic choke on it so you don't have to go out and start it up in the morning every time, so still trying figure out what is up with the choke, if this is the case every time Westinghouse should have put a manual choke lever on the outside of the generator so you don't have to take the cover of all the time to get to the choke.

well designed, choke wiring issue easy fix

Generator started immediately but would not get to speed due to choke. Found the Westinghouse tech note on the problem, easy fix, remove cover and reconnect wiring harness. Apparently not connected at factory. Beside this issue, I have no complaints and highly recommend it.

This is a go anywhere generator

Our usage elevations fluctuate from 800 to 8000 feet. This generator handles this well. We love being able to use the fob to start or stop without getting out of the camper and at a distance of 99 feet. The live data display of remaining time run, power output, fuel level, voltage, and lifetime hours is an excellent tool. It can also be used as a back-up to household power shortage.

Great for RV use - quiet - remote start!

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!!

Quiet little powerhouse

We bought this because my in-laws have one and love it. They live at low elevation and we weren’t sure how it’s do at 8000’ plus, but this thing is awesome. Super quiet and we can barely hear it when inside our trailer and it runs everything at once. The remote start is fantastic for making coffee in the cold mornings!

Great so far

Took right out of the box, put in the oil, gas, hooked up the battery and away it went. Tried the pull start and it was very easy. Ran it for the 5-hour break-in period with no issues. Super quiet and would recommend based on how it has ran so far. Heavy for one person if you have to carry it. Rolls easy.

Great rv generator

I’ve been borrowing my buddies Westinghouse IGen 4500 for several weeks now and I have been extremely impressed with this generator. I recently bought my own, my family and I like to camp off grid in our rv as much as possible throughout the year. This generator has been able to keep my air conditioner, all my appliances, plugs, lights, tv, and some other equipment running at one time during the summer and does everything I need it to do in the winter aswell. It’s very quiet so you can have it running at night while everyone is sleeping without bugging or waking anyone. It shipped to me in perfect condition and required very little work to get the generator started and running. I give the westinghouse IGen4500 5 stars because it deserves it.

Lightweight and Quiet

This generator is lightweight and powerful. It's light enough that my girlfriend and I are able to lift it into the back of my truck without a struggle. It powers our camper when we're out in the woods but doesn't disturb any nearby neighbors with obnoxious noise. Overall, im happy with this purchase and think it was well worth it.

Remote Start

I bought the i4500 for using with a travel trailer. I really like the remote start. I can start the invertor in the mornings to brew my coffee without going outside and yanking on a pull rope. I am getting older and convenience is important. The front panel with the electronic readout is a major plus.
