Great product when running

Bought this 4- 6 months ago and the electric and remote start are great features to have. A couple of challenges... I would like to see an easier way to drain oil, and an easier access panel to fuel bowl drain and choke assembly would be great as the electric choke failed on my particular unit; waiting to see what level of service Westinghouse will provide to correct the choke issue.

Quite Operation

I purchased this generator to supply power to my 5th Wheel when I am not in a park. It had to be quite enough to pass the Forest Service requirements. It has done a great job. I will be getting a second unit and use the parallel cable to get twice the power !!

Easy to use

We bought this to use when no power is available while camping with our trailer. Living in Arizona, we wanted to be able to run the 30-amp AC in the trailer for comfort. On our first outing, the generator stopped once and indicated an elevated CO level. It was outside, and not close to the trailer. After a cooling off period, we started it again, and had no problems. We were at 7700 feet elevation, so we will look into purchasing the high-altitude kit that is available, in case it may be useful for future outings. Overall, we are happy with the generator. An additional positive find is that it fits in the back of our pickup which has a folding cover over the truck bed. The cover is able to latch, so the compact size is great.

Excellent Value!

I bought this item expecting an extremely capable QUIET generator and I was not disappointed. This thing powers everything in my home with the exception of the AC unit and water heater but I knew that coming in. The only complaint I have is that the AUTO Choke was not working straight out of the box. Apparently this is common with this unit and I actually had to open it up and re-connect a cable to the control board. Was kind of a pain and wasn't happy about it but now the generator is great.

Stopped working after second use

The iGen4500 was delivered on June 9th and was only used a couple of times and has already stopped working. The unit cranks but does not start. I've read a few reviews about a bad choke system but the choke does seem to be working. I am also disappointed that the unit was manufactured in early 2019.

Impressed with Quality construction!

It didn't take long to see the advantages this unit offers. My first impression was how quieter this unit is over my old open unit generator without sacrificing with a weight gain. Another perk is that it runs my travel trailer AC on its own without being assisted by an inline piggyback. I always had to boost my old unit that had the same rating. The remote is a feature that is going to spoil me. I can operate the whole unit without leaving the couch. What more could one ask for?

Small but migjty

We have truly enjoyed this generator to cool and supplied lighting to our Ministries mobile closet. We have had it a few days over one year and Now that it’s out of warranty, we are having issues. Hoping that it is something minor so we can get our ministry closet back on the road.

It's so quiet!!

I did alot of research online, looked alot of different generators. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 was supposed to be the most quiet with the lowest decibel rating, at the best price. When I got it set up and started up, it was obvious I had made a good purchase. (Oh, BTW, my wife thinks the remote start is cool!) We plan to use this with our new RV and plan to do as much remote "boondocking" as possible. This requires a generator strong enough to run the AC but quiet enough for us to sleep. I think we got it!

So far so good, expectations high

Just received. Box showed minor abuse in transit, but packaging protected product. Love the size, access to maintenance areas, id labels for everything, slide away handle and carry handles. After much research, I decided on the iGen4500 as my first ever generator. Positive customer reviews had much to do with it, but so did the features and specifications for this unit. I am looking forward to giving it a test run.

Super Quite and easy to set up

I have been loving my new iGen4500. The remote start is so convenient and it runs my large AC on my RV to perfection. I have a 13K AC and after the initial start up it is only using about 50% capacity. I love the ease of use and setting it up was so simple.
