took it along on its first camping trip and worked beautifully supplying not only my trailer but my sister's trailer as well due to their generator failing. Supplied power all day with just a tank of gas and did it quietly with minimal noise. As advertised and then some!

This is a very early review, since I just received my 1Gen4500 yesterday. I made the purchase because of the low noise level, long run time, and data center for tracking run time, power output, remaining fuel, etc. I unpacked the box, connected the battery, filled with oil and gas, pushed the start button and it fired right up. Very easy, smooth and quiet just as advertised. I will give more information as things progress. Very happy so far, and feeling much more secure amid power outages.

Just received my iGen from Estes Freight delivery, Slight damage to packing box but no apparent damage to product. Ground snow covered so I can't do a test run. One option does not work as anticipated. I planned to use remote start in morning while camping and stay out of cool weather, however user guide says not to start gen with anything plugged in. If I have to go out side to unplug I may s well just use starter on the generator. Will post operation review when ground dries up.

I was a bit concerned upon reading some of the reviews however once receiving my generator-it started right up and I am extremely happy with the overall product. Nice and quiet for camping as stated. Runs my 15,000 btu a/c in my rv at 25% in eco mode. Was a bit difficult and messy to get the correct amount of oil into the engine. That is the reason I am giving it 4 stars.

purchased this unit back in April of this year and its been a headache to keep unit on. i tried using it for the second time this past weekend and its still doing the same thing. I Filed a claim and sent video. I hope they can correct issues or replace unit. I will update review at later time.

Went with this model for higher running watts than the competitors, plus electric remote start and fuel shutoff valve. Unboxing and startup is well thought out with a battery connector already wired in and a threaded oil funnel that holds itself in place. Impressed so far.

I did my research and found this Westinghouse iGen 4500 was the top rated portable generator I am in shock at the quality of this product. Fill with fuel and oil and just push a button and it fired right up. So quiet! They thought of everything when it comes to connections. It doesn't get any easier or more convenient than this.

I made this purchase after my brother purchased this about two weeks ago. The generator is quiet and handles heavy loads well. The quality of the unit along with the directions and supplied accessories shows the quality of a Westinghouse product.

Bought the igen 4500 for my RV and couldn’t be happier. It’s extremely quiet and powerful and will easily power my 15000btu a/c and microwave at the same time. It comes with tools, oil and funnel to get you started, unlike a Honda that comes with nothing. It’s also way less money and has a very high rating on most websites. If your like me and don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for a name, try this Westinghouse. Pretty sure you’ll love it.

We purchased this generator as a dual purpose unit. When we travel with our travel trailer and if we lose power at home. It's perfect for our needs and will run EVERYTHING in the RV and every essential item in the house. Upon arrival, setup could not have been easier. Read the instructions, filled with oil and fuel, connected the battery and started it up. Incredibly easy and very quiet. My wife and I were able to have a normal conversation with the generator running within 20ft. A little disappointed with what appears to be rust around the gas tank opening. Brand new unit and rusty around the fuel? Not comforting. The only thing we could hope for would be a lighter unit. at 98lbs it's heavy, although easily managed with two people lifting it into my truck. It can be done solo, but having a friend is much easier. So far, we love the generator and would definitely buy it again.
