Great little generator! I had it for about 2 weeks when the power went out from a tropical storm, fired right up and ran it for about 11 hours straight and it still had 5 hours of gas left. Really quiet and powerful, I couldn’t even hear it running inside the house.

Bought the iGen4500 after plenty of research online, including watching several noise and load test videos before deciding on purchase. This generator with its watt capacity, affordable inverter model price and amazing features stands well apart from the rest. It’s beautifully designed and engineered on the inside and outside. After filling it with oil and fuel it started up immediately and purrs like a kitten. Love it! The main use of this generator is for home back up power and occasional camping.

I was concerned that the noise from any generator would bother my neighbors, but this generator is so quiet it won't disturb anyone (quieter than a distant-sounding lawn mower). I hooked up a 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner and then tried an 1,100 watt microwave, and this generator handled them each with no problem. Even though it weighs about 100 pounds, the wheels and handle make it easy to move around. It also isn't too large, which is nice for storage in my garage. The remote on/off feature is nice and the unit starts up easily with it. I live in Northern California where PG&E now shuts off power temporarily when there is a threat of fires during red flag conditions. It's good to be prepared now, in case that happens in my neighborhood in the future. I am pleased with my purchase and have already recommended this generator to others.

The generator came in great condition and a day earlier than scheduled. I thought the remote was missing but it was clipped to the pull start cord. I followed the directions for the initial test run and it fired right up. Easy set up. It was actually quieter than I was expecting for being a 4500. I let the generator run for the break in period and it never wavered. This will be a nice upgrade from our “loud” generator when we go camping and for my music entertainment business when in remote locations. Highly recommend.

Took this out on our first dry camping expedition. Did a great job carrying the load. Ran everything in the camper. Not much noise produced. I am really enjoying this unit. Only downer is the cover for the battery came off while traveling in the back of the truck and is gone in the wind. The oil cover was hanging on but almost came off as well. I would recommend taking off both covers so you don’t loose them.

Bought this for my Cougar 5th Wheel. We do a lot of dry camping, and my older generator was a little louder than i would like. Always felt it might be an annoyance to other campers. The iGen4500c is just a soft purr when running. I can hardly notice it running, while inside the RV. Haven't been able to run the AC unit yet as it's too cold to get the compressor to cycle. Running the AC fan, microwave, and DC converter at the same time didn't seem to elevate the noise level that much. There is one aspect of the remote start that I will have to test come camping season. The "Battery ON" switch, that has an indicator light lit in the on position, has to be "on" to allow the remote start function. So, my concern is, will this draw enough of the start battery power over night to compromise the next remote start? Hopefully it's an LED indicator and the draw is minimal. The engine oil service looks like it could be a little messy, as the drain allows the oil to collect in the plastic bottom cover. Some rags or shop towels are a must for that operation. Putting the oil in, prior to start-up, I parked the unit over a scrap piece of plywood anticipating some "drippage", but none was found. An awesome plus is the Data panel, as i was planning on adding that feature to my old generator! Overall it seems to be a nice unit and I am looking forward to next years camping season with it.

I’ve only had it for few days but this thing is state of the art! The Digital Data Center is awesome, all useful information which I haven’t had on any of my other previous generators. It’s super quiet. I haven’t had the opportunity to put it through the ringer yet since I’m working the break in period but I don’t anticipate having any issues. It wheels around like a luggage bag with the extension handle which is super cool. It’s heavy but manageable for one strong adult to lift into a pick up. So far so good! Will be used with 34’ travel trailer when boondock camping.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I'm so happy I did. I now have peace of mind knowing that I will be prepared the next a winter storm hits and we are left without electricity for a week. From the other reviews that I've seen, I should be well prepared.

Fired up on first try. Much quieter than expected. Only negative was Owners Manual has been updated and I received old manual. Easily corrected by going online. If your manual tells you to tilt the unit and drain the oil from the the fill plug opening it is wrong (suspect this was the way previous smaller units were done). Should read ...using 12mm wrench remove oil drain bolt....etc.

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.
