My wife purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500 for me as a Christmas gift. I found the manual to be very comprehensive regarding setting up, operating, and maintaining the generator. The engineering and design of the generator are impressive. Access to critical maintenance areas is easy and convenient. The push button electric start and remote start features are game changers. This unit is replacing two Yamaha 1600 watt generators we use for RV camping. Although the wet weight of the iGen4500 is over 100lbs, its roller-board style wheel system makes it easy to move the generator on the ground. With moderate effort, my wife and I together can lift the generator in and out of the bed of my truck. I would recommend this generator for those that need up to 3700 running watts in a single generator.

I really like this generator. It’s quiet and it uses very little gas considering the output. It’s really a 5 star generator except they didn’t plug it the choke cable. Took me over an hour and removing about 30 screws and bolts to get to it and plug it in. There’s a YouTube video. Great generator once that’s done.

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.

Added oil, non ethanol gas, connected battery leads, and unit fired right up using remote control. Ran for 1 hour under no load, ran 11,000 BTU ac unit on RV for 10 hours, then ran on no load until fuel ran out for break in. Changed oil and now ready for service when needed. Very quiet and starts and stops on remote with no problem. I hate writing reviews on a brand new product with very little time but so far so good. My Honda 2000 is 18 years old and still running great. Time will tell how these Westinghouse units hold up. So far very pleased with quality and performance of this generator.

I did alot of research on generators and inverter generators. This was the best i thought of all on the market. Super quiet, can have a normal conversation with someone standing right next to it! Super powerful, and easy to move. Thanks WestingHouse!!! Thomas

I bought my 4500 inverter last November. Pretty happy with it so far. I wish I would have bought the inverter that would accept gas or gas. My sourness towards Westinghouse is the cover they give you if you fill in a feedback request. Which I did. And, if you did fill this out they would give you a cover for your generator for FREE! The problem is, it doesn’t fit over your generator. They say it’s “ snug”! It doesn’t fit! They will send you a link of where to buy one that does fit…. How funny is that? Not a big deal for me! I just hate the false promises.

Received generator in good condition. Directions straight forward to set up. Only thing was to connect battery I had to plug positive and negative terminal harness to generator harness. Wires were already connected to battery although negative terminal connection was loose.Replaced plastic oil fill plug with a magnetic one to capture metal shavings during break in period. Unit started right up. Very quite. Plugged in a chest freezer and refrigerator, worked well. Fairly easy to wheel around with luggage style telescoping handle.Time will tell of it’s durability.

Bought this 8/24/2020. Love the quietness of this generator and it use to do the job when we lost power. Last week we lost power in a storm. Turned on on fuel switch, started the generator and I smelled gas. Shut it down and fuel was leaking onto the floor. The carb float bowl gasket is shot and leaks fuel. Cannot find parts for the Huayi carb to save my life. Westinghouse Parts store is out of stock on full carb replacement.

We are very happy with this purchase. The only issue we had with it is that the instructions said to dump the whole bottle of oil into it, but when we did it overflowed and made a big mess. Other than that, we had no issues. It is quiet and ran well in our driveway for 30 minutes. We look forward to bringing it camping with us.

My iGen2500 arrived on time and it took less than 10 min to prepare for start. The engine started just fine on the very first pull - impressive. Easily powers a bathroom heater, will have to check other items later. Looks like a great deal for the money so far.
