This generator has features and power output better and higher than any other in its class. The problem is that if u get one where everything works as it should, you're lucky. My first one, the remote didn't work, the start stop button didn't work. I was only able to get it started only by the pull starter. Once i got it started the choke wouldn't shut off. Retuned that one and ordered another. On the second, the remote start would work, but using the remote stop would shut it down where it would immediately restart. And it only operates in economy mode, the switch has no effect. So,I pulled all the panels off and disconnected and reconnected every connector I could find. That fixed the remote stop but I still cannot take it out of economy mode. I can live with that until I call their support. Bummer they're out of covers for the bonus gift. So, 5 stars for features and 3 stars for them having a hard time delivering one without problems.

Bought this to use with our camper and it has exceeded in our expectations. We specifically looked for a quiet generator with a remote that would run our AC in the high Colorado mountains and it did great right out of the box. We will be recommending this to anyone and everyone!

We bought this to replace our last generator which was very loud. We ran both the generators to check the sound and it’s so quiet in comparison. Now we can actually hear our conversations over the sound and it’ll make loading due to the weight much easier. Can’t wait to get it out to our camping spot!

I am a 64-year-old lady, single, camping enthusiast, and I have no problem using this generator or moving it from my garage to my truck bed. It runs everything in my travel trailer, even the AC, while using the microwave. It's very quiet and I thoroughly enjoy it.

The Good - This unit is ultra quiet! Long runtime. Love the display! The Bad - My unit arrived with scratches all over the plastic housing due to handling. The Ugly - Oil changes are difficult due to the location of the oil drain plug. Westinghouse can improve this by making the oil change door opening larger.

I have sold many brands of generators over the years including the Onan 4500 which is basically the same as this Westinghouse 4500. The Onan was a great trouble free generator so I could not pass this up for the cost of the Westinghouse versus the Onan. Put the oil and fuel into the generator and if fired right up with the remote, couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Bought this for Hurricane Dorian and it arrived in two days. The setup took 5 minutes. Push button and Keyless start/stop are amazing features! It's as quiet as advertised; about half as noisy as a regular generator. Easy to move, too. Loving it so far.

Received my generator 2 months after purchase due to the hurricane in Puerto Rico. Everywhere was sold out and back ordered. This generator is pretty quiet when in low energy mode but can be fairly noisy when at full capacity. That's typical of any generator though. It easily runs my AC unit which is why I got the 4500 model. When the AC is not in use this generator handles all my needs with plenty of power to spare. I performed all the startup maintenance and the generator started easily enough. I have since had some minor issues but nothing a competent home mechanic can't figure out. The handle can be awkward to get to on the bottom of the generator. The auto start and remote start features are excellent. As long as the auto choke is working correctly it starts up immediately. This generator is a great value and I would recommend it to anyone who needs reliable portable power.

I bought this because I did not need to power much- a refrigerator and a few fans. Wanted a quiet and fuel efficient unit since we generally need it for days after hurricanes pass through. Light and easy to store. This checked all of the boxes for me.

I purchased this to run my 40 ft camper for up coming hunting season. Received much faster than expected and no damage. Pull unit out put oil and gas in it fired right up ,the one negative review that keep popping up was a choke issues do to the automatic choke wire not plugged in or coming unplugged in shipping. I have run all most two hours of the break in time running everything from a 1000 watt microwave to a crosscut saw no issues. My only disappointment is this generator isn’t as quiet as I hoped it’s not Honda quiet but for the price I it’s do able
