I bought this for our 35' 5th Wheel after struggling with two smaller units in parallel. After a long and tedious Break In period, we have run it ~350 hrs. over the past summer in sweltering heat at times -- over 100F. We run it non stop boondocking for three or four days at a time and have had ZERO Problems with it. The run time is very good, not great when running the AC continuously, but that's what you get in a compact unit. In our RV, we are running the AC, Fridge, Hot Water Heater, Ceiling Fan, Coffee Pot, Microwave, two Satellite receivers with 32" TV's, Device Chargers and the occasional Hair Drier and the coach battery charger. Never all at once, but I don't have to do much "Power Management" and use common sense. However, on a hot day, pulling ~30Amps continuously for hours is not uncommon. I installed a "Soft Start" on the AC. Best investment next to the IGen4500. Makes life easy on everything. Also, a GOOD Break In and load test is really important - to me anyway. The first start up with factory oil was on and off every 30-minutes for a couple of hours allowing it to completely cool off. Then the same with a half load or so with with an electric heater turning the heater on and off every 15-minutes or so. Then an oil change at about 5-6 hours. Then a load of Full Synthetic Mobil Delvac-1 5W-40 Engine Oil. Repeating the same procedure, although going up to full load with two electric heaters, again varying the load between zero, half and full load+ with full cool downs for another 5-6 hours, then another oil change with synthetic. Then I ran it about another ten hours with several cool down / start ups cycles with varying loads of zero up to the maximum output of 4k+ -- for several minutes at a time. After about 20 hours or so, I changed the oil one last time before we hit the road with it. I have been changing the oil at about 100hr intervals since. Zero oil consumption and it comes out pretty clean. Our last trip we ran it non-stop for over 70hrs. After ~350hrs on it, I am pretty happy. It has been the least of my worries traveling.

Received before expected date. Easy set up out of box. Had none of the problems that I have read about. Have only ran it a couple hours but ran refer off 120v turned on A/C and ran 900 watt micro wave and generator preformed flawlessly. Extremely happy at this time.

From the beginning. As per Instructions I "pour the entire bottle of oil into the engine" and a couple of ounces overflow on the floor. No problem, just some oil. I drained down to correct level. Fast forward to engine start.. It will not stay running. An hour and a half later I've taken all 4 sides off of the unit. Found 2 motor mount bolts about to fall out, checked entire fuel system to find varnished fuel in the float bowl, and the main jet in the carburetor was pluged. making the unit only run with the choke on. After cleaning the carb, tightening bolts and reassembling everything It runs fine. Hooked up to the camper for a couple hrs. with lights, A/C, and Microwave running... All was good. However, I need to have the Illuminated Power switch on the Control Panel in the "ON" position to have the unit work with the Key Fob Remote. The Instruction book only mentions that Switch if you pull start with the rope, or use the start button on the panel. Maybe I need to look inside for something unplugged. Bottom line, when you get it running it performs quietly. But, the folks on the assembly line need to step up thier game.

I have owned my Westinghouse oven 4500 for a few years and it was worked flawlessly. It provides the power I need at a quiet level. Also the remote start is extremely nice and it makes my camping neighbors jealous lol. Thanks for making a great product.

I just received the iGen 4500 today and it was very easy to set up. Add oil, add gas, hook up battery and started with remote on first try. It's very quiet, I plugged in a belt sander and it didn't make a difference in sound. It says "auto rotating display" but it's not, you have to press a little button on display to go through the functions. I will be putting it under more load with the RV soon. Pros; Easy start, Quiet, easy to understand display Cons; Display does not auto rotate (not a big deal but it says it is).

I’ve been researching generators for the last three months I bought two they did not work to my specifications I returned them and I finally bought the Westinghouse 4500. This generator is definitely a great generator it is enough power to run everything I need to and some.

Just purchased this product for our usage for Farmers Markets and on farm general use. Very good quality , very well packaged, nice quality of manufacturing, and very easy to start . Ran a full size freezer ( lay down ) and a full size side by side refrigerator with doors open to kick on compressors and didn’t even make this hoss bow down. I ran them in ECO mode to see if it would boggle and nothing! Very impressed!!

Opening the box, there was oil spilled on the unit, and the battery was not secured and upside down in the compartment. The unit started on second pull and is very quiet. On off button seems intermittent or there is a delay in start up and shutdown. Manual does not mention a delay

This generator checked all the boxes for me including wireless starting, quiet, large fuel tank. Because of my extensive research I was well aware of the problem with the auto choke. Since I am capable of fixing it, I went ahead and bought it. Mine did have the problem with the disconnected auto choke wire as well as my connector was broke. After I fixed the connector the generator ran fine. I did the proper break in which includes installing a magnetic oil dipstick and running the generator under various loads drain oil and repeat. The pictures below show the metal particles that were collected by the magnetic dipstick during the break in. Look forward to many years of service.

I bought this generator for my 35 foot travel trailer to run my appliances and air conditioner. With a full load of the trailer (everything on and running with a 13.5 KBTU air conditioner) the generator was running at a 75% load. Price point is excellent, you would have to spend twice as much for a Honda product with less afeatures. While running the air conditioning inside the trailer, I could not hear the generator and it was ten feet behind our trailer. Remote start is an,excellent feature but took three tries to start after sitting overnight. Prior to purchase I read several reviews and only 25 percent were negative, which helped me make my decision. After putting gas and oil in it straight out of the box it started right up. Overall pleased with product.
