Decided to get a generator that could work for our travel trailer and also help with power outages at the house. This one fit the bill for both places. It helps that it has wheels and a handle since we are older. Easy to start and the noise level is low.

These units are amazing and rank in second place in comparison to all other generators this size. It starts on the first try. Gives us all the power we need! It is so good that we have purchased 4 of them! Did I tell you they are so quiet running? Well, they are the most quiet generators that I have used.

I received the generator on 6/26 and used 100% synthetic oil instead of he oil received with the unit. With the cost of the unit, why put in a cheaper oil. I ended up doing a 6 hr. break-in and varied the wattage from 22-1,643 with many changes over the time period. The digital data center is very handy for tracking the various outputs of the generator. I had no problems during the break-in process. In fact everything went smoothly as one would expect. I am only running ethanol free gas in it and it will be drained of fuel until we have the potential of a hurricane coming our way. I live in Florida and had a Honda 2000 for back-up, for the last 2 years, but never needed it as the hurricanes skirted us with only some higher winds and some rain. I bought this generator because I wanted to make sure I had the power to run the refer/freezer, microwave, TV, internet, lighting and various small items.

At first start up there was a massive gasoline spill. All over the place. Happy there was no fire. Turns out that the generator is started at the factory and then gasoline drained via the drain in the carburetor float bowl. The employee never tightened the drain nut. This could have caused a fire. The Westinghouse assistant on the phone was unimpressed. Told me he wasn't going to pass along my information to anyone in the company. I've only run the generator for an hour to test it out and it appears to work. But I may not buy any more Westinghouse products.

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!

just received my inverter. everything complete and no damage. added oil and gas and test ran. took just a minute to get fuel to carb and fired right up. ran for a little bit and then plugged in some power tools. ran everything very well. even ran my job site compressor. my honda 3000 will not run this compressor. will take camping next weekend for the real test but am very pleased with the unit so far

The iGen4500 is a very nice quiet generator. It is very easy to use with push button start as well as remote start. Setup and initial startup was very straight forward. Looking forward to lots of camping trips with this generator in tow! Compared with Honda and Predator Generators and went with the Westinghouse for value and reliability.

I am happy with the power output of the unit and how incredibly quiet it is. However, the push button and remote start work very sporadically. Would be 5 stars if that worked as advertised, but other than that the pull start is very easy and generally starts within 1-2 pulls.

Works great! We are so pleased. We went to a family camping reunion. We go every year to OR and we are always roasting due to the extreme heat! Whew! Well, this July we did our due diligence and went over the reviews and watched YouTube videos re this product. The reviews were overwhelming positive so we went for it. We actually wanted the dual fuel! but couldn’t find one anywhere! We knew that that would have benefited our purpose much better. But the quiet?? Amazing. We were the envy of all the other campers! Ha.

After looking through tons of reviews and hours of YouTube videos I decided to go with the igen4500. Compared to other similar manufacturers, the westinghouse has awesome features, and quieter/longer runtime. I made the purchase primarily for my camper but I can definitely see it being used for more applications in the future.
