Quiet and compact

I own a Honda EU7500 generator which I love but was looking for something smaller, so I thought to give Westinghouse a try. The price point is amazing for the quality and features. I live in California where every household almost requires a generator for weather or power shut-off events. It runs very quiet, similar to my Honda, maybe a little quieter. My only complaint so far is the accessibility and ease of changing the oil, which happens more often than you may think, every 50 hours. I understand in order to keep it compact all the parts are placed accordingly, but if you have big hands this will be a serious chore. When changing the oil and removing the oil plug I have had issues with only loosing and removing the plug itself. there is an 1 1/2 inch stem between the bottom of the engine block and the oil plug and it continuously is what unscrews instead of just the oil plug. I have not contacted Westinghouse to seek a resolve to this issue so Im unsure of the severity or remedy to this situation. Overall it seems to be a solid generator and I would recommend it for its quality and price.

Awesome generator

I purchased this not knowing a lot of people that had one. I am so glad I did I love the remote start it never hesitates to start right up and not have to deal with going outside and starting it. I am super impressed for a Gen4500 how light and easy to move. It’s definitely super user friendly with everything on it being labeled. With this being said I will definitely be recommending these generators to all my friends.

Exceptional Value!

I purchased this generator for our 24' travel trailer. I was very impressed with the features has. It has a 30 amp outlet that's perfect for our travel trailer making it a simple connection. The standard 110 outlets and USB outlets allows us to run and charge all our electronics safely. The amount of power this generator supplies is more than enough for our needs and is almost twice the power of other manufacturers at an even lower cost. I am extremely happy with my purchase. I am deeply disappointed that you do not offer a cover as I live in a very dusty dirty environment. I would have chosen it as my bonus item. Please consider making one available and I feel it would be another excellent selling point when customers decide what brand generator to buy.

My Honda friends are switching over

Love love love this generator. It runs my horse trailer with no problems. The best part is being able to lay in bed and turn it on and off. I stay warm and toasty while my friends have to get dressed and face the cold before their first cup of coffee. It is very economical on gas too. I can lift it alone and the wheels are a huge advantage too. It is perfect in every way. I camped for 10 days without any issues, while I had 2 friends with generators that had issues. I recommend it highly!

Great Features

I live in Texas and there never really comes a time when we'll ever need a generator, but. when we received a winter snowstorm and our power went out, I'm sure glad that we bought this. The generator is pretty efficient and doesn't take too much gas, and it's also pretty quiet. Overall, glad to have made this purchase.

Great little generator, very quiet

I bought this as an "APU" for my semi truck, very quiet, Low fuel consumption kept mostly around 25-50% load can easily run 10 hours with more to go, possibly 16 hours i could get out of one tank. I love the wireless remote to turn on and off Does have a slight issue even not on efficiency mode with keeping up with the surges of around 1600 watts (portable AC unit) Voltage drops quite a bit, does recover but sometimes electronics end up like they dont get voltage for a split second. Other than that, an addition to have is maybe some holes or U points for securing with chains as big as 1/2 inch. Maybe an addition to it is to be grounded. so its not a floating ground. 50 hours of use currently

Everything I Want

With Hurricane Dorian coming, I am so glad I bought this generator. Quiet, reliable. Even though heavy, easy to move with the wheels and handle. Good for electronics. Use for refrigerator, freezer, lights, fans, LCD TV, DVR, computer, and (maybe someday) AC window unit. This generator is exactly what I was looking for.

Easy Startup

Just fired it up for the first time. I followed the easy to read instruction and that was it. Hooked up the battery, put in the oil, and filled up the gas tank. Pushed the start button and brrrrm. Happy with the DBs put out. Very pleased with my purchase

Quiet

Just received the Igen 4500 gas generator with remote start. Filled it with oil and gas. It started right up. I ran it for a 2 hours and it ran smooth and very quiet for a generator of its size. The wife was in the house and didn't even know i started it. I am looking forward to using it when we go camping and as back up power for our house. I hope it

Easy set up & fired right up

Bought as backup for on board Onan 4000. Have owned 3 new RVs & all Onans fail during warranty and then again out of it. Have one more race untill summer break and then can get it to shop/ and hope its back in 9 weeks. Had Generac in motor home for 9.5 years & never any issues with my personal routine service. Ran iGen inverter 15M and then for 2 hours with 15K A/C on. Showed 50% with compressor running &big drop when compressor is off (on energy saver) and r.p.m drops. Will know more about capabilities after next 3 day use. It is a little louder than other inverters I have observed at races but quiter than Champion 4000/3500 generator. 50 hour oil changes will be a drawback but only holds .6 quart of oil. Guess that makes it necessary.
