Generator arrived in perfect shape -- just added oil and we were off and running. Easy to understand manual and the controls are nicely organized. It runs quiet and the electric start is a real plus. Did a lot of research before buying and believe this is the best value compared to comparable generators.

We purchased this generator to power our home essentials during rolling black outs and to run our RV AC when camping. The telescoping handle makes moving the generator especially easy because it is heavy. I am most pleased with how quiet the generator is.

First unit was damaged in shipping but not to the point that should have impacted performance. Electric start didn't work, choke was stuck on, way under powered, ran very rough. Still with all its problems it pull started easy and got the job done. for weight and price next time I will go with two i2000 and a link cable.

I purchased this before this year’s hurricane season. It started with the first push of the electric start. I did a mock run of two freezers and two refrigerators all plugged in and for two hours it never had to work hard. It is quiet as advertised. I am very satisfied. It met my expectations.

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.

Perfect for my application, goes with 28 foot travel trailer primarily to run air conditioning. Easy to place on rear folding cargo rack thanks to wheels and extended handle. Extended run time with large fuel tank and pleasantly quiet. Battery start or remote start. Has 30 amp plug which matches RV so no adapter needed. Recommended by a friend, ordered the next day.

This replaces another brand 6500 watt low thd generator. This inverter is so much quieter and provides all the power I need to run the whole house necessities like the gas furnace and water heater the refrigerator and the freezer with enough left over to watch a lcd tv and a couple of lights.

Works great once you remove all the covers and locate the electrical connections for the automatic choke. The plug is not connected so you have to manually close the choke to get the unit to start. After this 15 min fix it works great and starts everytime. This seems to be a common issue so home the mfr fixes this not everyone mech knowledge.

I had a Predator 3500 which didn't quite cut it, it couldn't handle the power my trailer required. My friend had an igen4500 which she let us use for over 70 running hours, and it worked perfectly and handled the load with zero hiccups. Turns out she even forgot to change the oil after breaking it in, so it was running on the original oil the generator came with (bad idea), but it still ran perfectly! I bought one for myself a week later and mine has been working flawlessly.
