I just bought this gen now my wife can start it with outgoing outside when we take off early to go hunting or fishing, she stays around camp and relaxes A bit heavier than my other one if we fill it at home but with a 3gal tank never half to worry about it running out of fuel

Delivery guy unloaded the box and brought it to my door, upside down. Unboxed it, and there was no damage. Went through the setup procedures, and the little gen fired right up and has been running great - powering a horse trailer living quarters with no issues. The little guy is extremely quiet, and has been quite miserly on using gas. I would definitely recommend this generator.

I had a Predator 3500 which didn't quite cut it, it couldn't handle the power my trailer required. My friend had an igen4500 which she let us use for over 70 running hours, and it worked perfectly and handled the load with zero hiccups. Turns out she even forgot to change the oil after breaking it in, so it was running on the original oil the generator came with (bad idea), but it still ran perfectly! I bought one for myself a week later and mine has been working flawlessly.

My first 2-3 startups of this generator were a little slow and I figured cold start, priming etc, but the 4th time it wouldnt start at all. I checked all the basic maintenance issues like oil, flooding, spark plug and then I went to google. Apparently during manufacturing, a large number of these generators have a wire that controls the automatic choke that is simply not connected, or is connected loosely and just pops out while running the first time or 2. Once the wire was reattached, the generator starts the first time and runs like a dream.

Have a bigger Westing house Generator, which has come in handy during power outages. Was wanting a smaller, mort portable generator for smaller use, this generator has come in handy already. My son also owns a Westinghouse generator and is completely satisfied with his also. They are dependable, with a very good warranty with is among the best offered for portable generators.

Bought in Aug 2024. Started right up on second pull (wanted to find out how easily it would start without using electric start). Ran fine. Started again in Sept and ran several hours with varying load and it did fine. Changed oil and followed long term storage instructions. Instructions very good. Would have given 5 stars but needs some improvements: Larger access panel to oil fill area. Easier way to drain fuel tank. Screwdriver and spark plug wrench provided were low quality

I have been shopping for an inverter generator for some time now and looked at all the reviews for this type of generator for my living quarters horse trailer. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 checked all the boxes. It is easy to operate and the digital screen tells you everything you need to know when the generator is operating. Great maneuverability, light weight and quiet.

After a lot of research I decided to go with the iGen 4500. After receiving my generator , I did the break-in. Two oil changes with no load and one oil change after 25% load (that's with the A/C(13500w), TV, Radio, Refridge, and all lights running on my camper) turning on the microwave it would go to 75% load. Gotta say no issues, except for overfilling oil and having to clean up that mess. It has started with ease with all 3 methods. Since it's my 1st generator, I'm hoping for many many years.

I purchased a few weeks back after our first serious storm of the season that has us out of power for several days. Was delivered in 2 days. Easy setup, up and running within 30 minutes. Tested with various appliances, lights, etc. plenty of power for all. Ready for the next storm!!! Highly recommend.

I did extensive research on generators/inverters for my camper, and the Westinghouse iGen4500 had the best balance of price, weight, capacity, and noise level. There were two items from shipping that were less than perfect: 1) One of the battery cable plug female ends was bent out of shape, so the plug wouldn't go together, and I had to pry it open to get it to go together. 2) Initially, the generator wouldn't start, or would kill seconds after it did. After doing some snooping on the Westinghouse Portable Power website, I found a Technical Service Bulletin under Service & Support that gave the simple, but tedious, fix to reconnect a cable to the starting module that tends to come unplugged during shipping.
