New Camper/Generator

We researched other brands and after reading reviews decided on Westinghouse IGen4500. It is quiet and ran everything in our camper. I followed the directions for start up and it worked just as stated. It is also nice to have the remote and it worked great! We are very happy with this purchase!

Would not start right out of box

Had read all the reviews and noticed the issues with initial start-up. I was a little disappointed that the issue has not been resolved. I called support and they sent me the bulletin to deal with the problem. Problem solved after losing a little skin off my hands. Looking forward to using this unit.

Great Generator and Very Quiet

Bought for RV but tested with air compressor. Most generators have problems firing up air compressors but this one did the job without issue. Also runs very quiet. The remote start is another nice whistle and bell but not necessary but it is cool to use.

More than expected

The iGen 4500 inverter generator fits the bill perfectly for my needs. I am 74 yrs old and live in a modest size home. The generator runs very quiet compared to an open frame generator. A feature I'm sure my neighbors will appreciate when running. It provides enough power to run my lights, refrigerator , 8000 BTU window A/C and blower for my gas central air heater which would have been nice to have had during our power blackout here in Texas during that terrible freeze. Now as I mentioned at the start, I'm 74 and my health isn't what it use to be. No longer able to tote around heavy generators anymore. This little guy comes with two wheels in the back and a telescoping handle tucked under the front panel that makes moving it around easy. Another huge plus in my book is the ability to run 15 to 18 hrs on a 3.4 gal tank of gas!

Very Quiet

Happy to have finally purchased this for back-up power. Very easy to start with all of the following options: remote, push button, pull cord. The only problem is that this unit came with an outdated manual. Found the correct and updated manual online.

4500 generator

Didn’t think I’d receive this generator with the known issue of a bad choke system. I figured after reading the reviews of a year ago this would have been remedied. Not so. Had to remove the air filter and stuck my finger in the choke hole to get it to start. After that it fired up on repeated occasions that day. Went out the next morning and got the same result of no starting. Will put a request into Westinghouse like many others and hope to get a fix it response. This has all the features of a good generator and I’m not disappointed about getting it, bugs in everything these days.

Very Quiet

We needed a quiet generator option for our rv. After much research we decided this was the generator for us. It did not disappoint. We can have a conversation right next to the generator and don't have to raise our voices. We are happy and so are our neighbors!

Great unit if you get the TCI failures Fixed

I bought this in Sept 2020 and had my 1st TCI failed at 150 run hours, the 2nd TCI failed after 220 hrs, the 3rd TCI failed after 3 hours and the 4th TCI now had 24 hours. I have such confidence in this unit I have purchased 4 additional TCI Modules to keep on hand if it fails again at 2am in 34F weather I won't freeze until sunrise.

Quite satisfied so far

I just set this up and tried it out. It is very easy to operate and is even quieter than I thought it might be. I'm impressed they got this much wattage to come out of a unit as quiet and relatively light as this is. I have not used it in action with the Airstream yet but am confident it will work fine. I read some of the negative reviews before I ordered this (I find the best info can come from the negative reviewers as long as you can distinguish the ones that know what they're doing from the ones that don't know what they're talking about or just want to whine). It seems the worst complaint was having to manually adjust the choke if you were restarting the unit warm. They must have fixed that issue because I could not duplicate it. If anything changes for the worse once tested "under fire", I will update this review accordingly. Summary, thus far this is a great unit that performs as claimed. A great value and highly recommended
