So excited to use this generator!

After months and months of research, my husband decided on the Westinghouse iGen4500 generator. We could not be more excited with how smoothly the generator fired up. We are excited to take it out camping this next week and try out the remote start/stop feature!

Great Generator with a Minor issue

Generator does the job, is easy to start and maintain and will run all the 120 volt circuits in my house. The remote start works great. Fuel consumption is very low and the unit is very quiet. I can fill the tank around 10 p.m. and it will still be running in the morning. I installed a transfer switch in my condo so it's a one connection to the outside plug and done. The only issue I had was the electric choke connector came off the circuit board during shipping. There is a service bulletin out on this so it is a know problem. I reinstalled it and put a dab of RTV on the side of the connector to prevent it from happening again.

Great features and power for the money

only 3 stars for the moment because the generator came with a faulty choke that does not work and the push start button does not work. Will give 5 stars when these issues are repaired. I believe this generator will be a great fit for me after the repairs.

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.

Quiet and Efficient Inverter

I bought this inverter recently due to widespread power outage. It was easy to set up, operate, and handled my needs very well. We powered fridge and freezer as well as other appliances. It was also easy to move around on its wheels. Would recommend this product to anyone who needs electricity, and also peace of mind.

Works Awesome

I have not had it a long time. First time starting it up to break-in, it started first time. I have been using it to run lights and air compressor in my garage. Been using it to run my toy hauler. Works perfectly. Pros: super super quiet. Equal to a Honda. It has a remote, plug-in battery charge, a function monitor, screw in oil funnel which is great, fuel filter when pouring gas into it, and all the controls are easy to read and understand. Very user friendly. And it’s easy to move around with the handle. Cons: access to the oil compartment is a little small but I have big hands. So far, this has been a great generator. Extremely happy with it.

Great value, very quiet and overall excellent

I just purchased this IGEN4500 and wanted something that would handle our new trailer while also being portable, light and had all the extra luxurious items I wanted. This had it all, remote start and stop, super quiet, powerful and plenty of outlets while also having a great fuel capacity. Started right up on the first start and so far no issues. Taking it on our first trip this weekend and looking forward to our dry camping.

It has all the options I can think of

Just got it yesterday 9-8-2020. Added the oil , hooked up battery and it didn’t even take 5 seconds to start and it is so smooth, I have a smaller general iq 2000 which is very quiet I don’t have a decibel meter but I can’t tell the noise difference and the Westinghouse is more than twice the power, awesome.

Very good so far!

Bought this 4 months ago, and the ONLY problem I had with it was finding the serial number, which turned out to be just below the exhaust port. (Due to my own laziness I didn't get around to calling Westinghouse for help for several weeks, and then due to health and personal maneuverability reasons I had to wait till my son could help me. That was another few weeks ago, and only now am I finally getting around to registering and writing this review. NONE OF THAT is the fault of Westinghouse!) Following the simple instructions, my son helped me un-box the unit, fill the oil, add a small amount of gas and get it started. It took several tries at first, but eventually fired up and ran fine. I shut it off, waited a few minutes, and then it started again on the first try. I repeated this several times. So far I'm very confident in this generator. It runs quiet and that was important to me.

WOW Quiet !!

I bought a different generator that I returned because it was too loud, now with this Westinghouse iGen4500 we can enjoy all the electricity we need with no fear of disrupting anyone else. Very happy and the remote start is wonderful. It took me a long time to decide on the best "Genny" to get and I'm proud my research paying off.
