I bought this generator for our 30A service travel trailer. I wanted something quiet when we are boondocking. It is very quiet, especially when using the eco mode. It idles at a quiet purr. I really like the remote start which makes it very convenient to start/stop while still in the camper. I get approximately 15 hours of runtime with AC and other appliances running on and off. PROS: Quiet (Even at peak output) Watt Output Weight Digital Display Features Remote Start/Push Button Start/Pull Start Very fuel efficient (approximately 5 gallons of gas per weekend of camping) CONS: Oil fill location Oil drain plug location Air filter location

Minor box damage but unit itself in perfect condition. Would not start with electric start button, even after charging battery. We did mess with the automatic choke lever as talked about in a lot of reviews and then were able to get it started via the manual pull after a number of tries. Once it ran for about 10 minutes, we were able to turn it off and now have started it multiple times with the electric start with no problems-so it seems to be fine after the initial start up. It is very quiet, but we haven't actually used it yet to comment on it's full functioning. I'm looking forward the camping next weekend to see how it does!

I have Big Camper that’s 50amp. When downsizing my camping trips I recently bought a tent. Needed a quiet generator for our National Forest, but also this model is quiet (52db) enough, but you can parallel another compatible generator and still run my large 50 amp camper. The iGen5000C Is quite enough to run with my small tenting needs but also my Big camper. When I’m out away from camping or tenting, the remote control comes in handy for my wife to run when I’m not there. Also, the computer display comes in handy when it’s about getting dark and whatever load that you put on at that particular time, it will tell you the range running time for that amount of gas and load you have! The display also shows our meter for servicing, and the left side has a bar graph of level of gas. She was in the house a few minutes ago. Wife and I are Happier Campers :)

I bought this model about 3 weeks ago after comparing with several models of the same power levels. It seemed a good value for the features. I like the remote start feature and that it has a fuel shutoff. There is a battery charging adapter that I wish was allowed to be plugging in continuously and have an indicator light. So far it provides power as needed for my RV with easily covering the AC loads. It has been thought the breakin period as specified in the manual. Reasonably quiet, and no leaks so far. The battery indicator light is not illuminating for some reason. The manual says it should be on when unit is running. But I will call service about that.

So far I have had zero problems with this product, its heavy but that's required in order to produce wattage stated. The handle and wheels are a must, one of the reasons I went with Westinghouse. I like the design and noise reduction qualities. This unit is compact and I can tell it will be easily serviced when required air filter and oil changes are due. Westinghouse went above and beyond including a small tool kit and oil with funnel.

I purchased this inverter generator to supplement my red 2000i inverter because it just doesn't have the muscle we needed as full-time RV'ers. I am happily surprised by this generator. It is just as quiet as my previous inverter and has more than twice the starting power. I followed the Quick Start Guide to the letter and it was easy, no issues, and the iGen4500 ran on the very first try with the remote fob in less than 10 minutes from unboxing. I completed the 20-hour oil change and it had only minor signs of metal or debris in the oil. I have not had it loaded past 40% but when connected, my multimeter indicates a stable 121 VAC and the engine seems to get less loud the more it runs. I really love the remote start and the value of this unit is excellent. It arrived in perfect condition and is exactly what I expected based on my research. This is not a small generator. It is easily over 115 pounds with fuel in the tank, so understand your limits in this regard. The collapsible handle and wheels make rolling it into place an easy task. The size of this inverter makes lifting it into the bumper mounted tray a task for two normal folks or one very strong person. It will easily start my 13.5K air conditioner and run normal items such as the battery charger/converter, the coffee pot or even our air fryer, but everything has a limit and you should still be careful loading this genset at a safe level in it's recommended range.

This product exceeded expectations with good consistent power output, accurate estimates in regards to remaining power time available with current fuel levels, and amazingly low sound output. Very portable with lightweight and ergonomic design of handle and wheels

After researching multiple generators I found this Westinghouse 4500 and reluctantly made my purchase but I must say that the item certainly was easy to set up, maneuver, operate, start, stop and is easy on the ears when operating. So far I have successfully used it twice for short periods and am looking forward to more use in the near future.

Received new generator with noticeable rust at fuel tank neck. Immediately contacted Westinghouse who ensured me this is normal. Ran generator to make sure every thing worked (using sta-bil added fuel). Tested generator 2 month later to make sure every thing worked fine before storm season but generator would not maintain power and kept turning off. Checked online and found service bulletin with instruction on manual fix by opening the cover and manually adjusting choke. So assumed this was known issue and dropped off at local service center. I am told the carburetor was gummed/dirty and this would not be covered under warranty. Called up Westinghouse and service rep politely read instructions: for "2 month storage the float bowl has to be emptied of fuel". Not having emptied the fuel from the float bowl broke the generator in 2 month. Hard to believe that if I had turned on the generator few days earlier, the generator would had work. The fact that there is a service bulletin that was created to temporary fix this exact problem actually exists suggests there is a model wide quality issue. Also Westinghouse claiming rusted fuel tank is normal also suggests this model is cheaply made. Can not recommend for first time generator users. I suspect the rust and carburetor issues are tied. Also, this generator requires lots of maintenance that must be followed accurately. Being 1 day late will break unit.

Just received the generator and took it out of the box. Filled the oil and gas and followed directions on operation. Generator starts easy and is very quiet for the size. I especially like the remote start. Will give it a good test run this summer in the RV.
