Easy Setup

Purchased to use with our camper and for emergencies. It was easy to unbox and setup. Just check oil as you fill to prevent overfill. Added gas and walked away for 30 minutes, came back and hit start button and fired right away. I'm looking forward to getting lots of use from it for camping and hopefully not for power outages!!

Digital Data Center

I’ve only had it for few days but this thing is state of the art! The Digital Data Center is awesome, all useful information which I haven’t had on any of my other previous generators. It’s super quiet. I haven’t had the opportunity to put it through the ringer yet since I’m working the break in period but I don’t anticipate having any issues. It wheels around like a luggage bag with the extension handle which is super cool. It’s heavy but manageable for one strong adult to lift into a pick up. So far so good! Will be used with 34’ travel trailer when boondock camping.

perfect size

I ordered this on a Thursday as a late xmas gift from my wife and it arrived on Monday. it came well packaged with oil, funnel, battery charger, and spark plug tools. I filled it with oil and a little gas, hooked up the battery and it fired up right away. So far i am very pleased with this unit. i will update after i get to use it camping this summer.

It is a beast

No issues, ran everything except 2 ACs in the RV, which is to be expected. It will run all night on a tank of gas. It's quiet and does what it's supposed to do. It's heavy no doubt. I have to have help to lift it into an RV compartment, but it does have beefy handles.

Almost Perfect

This generator is amazing, its quite, easy to move, and easy to start up. The only problem I had with it was that it ran fantastic for about 19 hours and then without warning or reason it just shut-off and now I cannot get it started. I have tried several things but have been unsuccessful thus far. I am waiting on a technian to get back in touch with me to help diagnois the problem. Hopefully it is something simple and nothing to complicated. Even with this problem I would still buy this product again.

Awesome generator

I purchased this not knowing a lot of people that had one. I am so glad I did I love the remote start it never hesitates to start right up and not have to deal with going outside and starting it. I am super impressed for a Gen4500 how light and easy to move. It’s definitely super user friendly with everything on it being labeled. With this being said I will definitely be recommending these generators to all my friends.

Powerful, Quiet, Easy to Transport!

The Westinghouse name brand, 3 year parts warranty, and great reviews led me to purchase this product. I have loaded it up with many different appliances and it purrs like a kitten. It's reasonably quiet between 65 - 83 DB, you can hold a conversation next to it without any problems. Much quieter than my non-inverter generator. Weighing a little over 100 pounds I am surprised at how easy it is to move with the built in retractable handle and it doesn't feel that heavy if you have to lift it using built in lift handles. A lot of thought went into its design and it is very easy to access serviceable parts. I like the supplied oil funnel as it screws in the oil filler tube which ensures oil will not spill when filling, unlike those other funnels that have a tendency to pop out at the wrong time. However the best part of this generator, is the informative lcd panel. It toggles between 5 screens. The screen I use the most is the one that shows the power load the generator is pulling. In addition to the 5 LCD informative screens, it has an ever present percent of fuel remaining gauge and a percent of load indicator in 25% increments. Very easy to read. One feature that could be improved is to have the ability to change the remaining fuel display from Liters to Gallons remaining, however this is not a deal killer. If you do not use the built in battery to start the generator, the pull handle starts it up in one or two pulls and the remote start key fob works great! This generator, like others, also has an auto shut off if the load exceeds the generator capacity or the oil level is too low. It also has a charger so you can top off the built in battery monthly if the generator is not being used. Well thought out, three ways to start it, easy to transport, perfect compact size. I highly recommend this product!

Impressive Generator

No shipping issues, and all contents promised per manual were delivered. Very impressed with the generator’s quality of construction. I think the pull handle is sufficient to handle the weight of the generator, and I like that it snaps back into place. Put oil and gas in to do a quick test run and was very pleased. Very quiet.

Great little Generator

I purchased this unit to power my RV Air Conditioner. The setup was a breeze. Everything needed to start is included. After putting the oil (supplied) and adding a gallon of gasoline, this thing started on the first try. Also, I am amazed on how quiet it is, even more on the eco mode. I've owned other generators but feel this one is the best. I strongly recommend this generator. Thank you Westinghouse....

No Issues

Lots of complaints about the auto choke not working, however filling up oil/gas, it started and smoothed out very quickly. Choke working perfectly. Remote control nice feature, but overall, not sure that it will benefit me. Currently working through break-in process, alternating between idle and 1.2KW
