I absolutely LOVE this inverter generator! We took it out for the first time this weekend & used it with our big 5th wheel camper trailer. Everything ran perfectly. It's lighter and quieter than our other generators and if I'm being honest, my favorite feature is the remote control to turn it on and off! We use our camper 7-8 months out of the year and it's a fight to get any of us to go out in the cold to have to start or shut off the other generators we'd used. I also like the digital display of how much run time is left. I'd recommend this to anyone...it's definitely money well spent!

I have had nothing but problems with this generator. I bought it to use with my RV. Fron the beginning, the run-time readout didn’t wotk and it kept tripping offline under light load. I finally took it in for warranty repairs and found out that inly the parts are civered under warranty, but, the labor is the big expense. The repair shop was not avke yo get the run- time indicator working after replacing parts and many hours of labor. They suggested that i “just look in the tank” to see how much fuel is left. I am now on an RV trip and can’t get the generator started. Spend the extra miney and buy a reliable generator. Don’t get stuck with a piece of junk that won’t start when you need it!

Noise level, as advertised. Good power. Heavy, but not that heavy. Happy so far! However...unpacking was a real scare! The box came slightly damaged, delivered by UPS, one strap missing, few small holes....however the original tape was intact. Upon opening I noticed a "old fuel, type smell". My mind began to race to the small number of reviews that mentioned "used", or "returned" products! I opened the fuel cap, and ugh! what a smell. I carefully removed the strainer, and looked in. Damp, but no real amount of anything. I thought of removing the float bowl, but told myself, maybe it was some kind of protective substance...Snatching the unit out of the box was surprisingly easy (heavy yes, lift carefully!) I am 66 years old, but the top handles really made this easier! I lifted the unit out of the box instead of cutting it out, because I wanted to make sure I could return the unit if necessary "in its original packaging". Now the real scare....the fuel shut off knob was missing! A quick look showed it had ended up in the bottom of the box. Fortunately I have handled a phillips head before, carefully removed the rubber cap at center of the knob, and installed correctly. Worried, I looked over the unit for signs of use, and found none...however the battery was not strapped inland riding at 45 degrees. Good thing it is "no leak". I went over everything I could with a stout phillips, checked the air filter, and then proceeded to add oil. There was a small amount of oil laying in the bottom cover, but it was clean. The telescoping handle works, but seems a beat flimsy. I made a mental note to use that feature sparingly if at all! After adding two liters of "non-ethanol canned fuel" the fuel gauge still registered "empty". The third on got the unit to register 1/4. After 3 pulls on the starter rope, it came to life! Really easy, and smooth pull start. I think anyone could handle this! Not my fathers Gravely L8 for sure! Or any of my push mowers! She started right up....but ran unevenly for almost 60 seconds. Finally it settled down. Finding the started FOB, attached to the pull start, with battery installed, was worriesome....but it lit up! The remote started worded wonderfully! I had my girlfriend use it, so now she can brag "she started it"! Now let's hope I don't have to use it.....being a follower of the philosopher "Murphy" ......

Took this out on our first dry camping expedition. Did a great job carrying the load. Ran everything in the camper. Not much noise produced. I am really enjoying this unit. Only downer is the cover for the battery came off while traveling in the back of the truck and is gone in the wind. The oil cover was hanging on but almost came off as well. I would recommend taking off both covers so you don’t loose them.

Just opened it, added oil and fuel, plugged in battery, turned fuel lever and start rocker switch to on, pressed remote to start... VOILA! PERFECT...! Literally, less than ten minutes after un-boxing it I had a perfectly running generator that is QUIET! So excited... thank you W-house

We bought this generator to power our grand design imagine camper. They provide enough power to supply everything we need to run on the camper when we are off the grid. It’s quiet, efficient, and easy to move around. The remote control makes it an absolute gem to operate from inside the camper.

I own two other open frame generators that would wake the dead. Ashamed to even run them during a power failure much less camping. Along comes the IGEN 4500. This generator beats a Honda - regardess of what anyone else says. It's that quiet! And the power, well, it can run anything in my 38' Montana fifth wheel and not even breathe hard. The fit and finish are beyond what I had hoped for. And the front panel, well it looks like it would be at home in a space ship. Beautiful as well as extremely functional. Kudos to Westinghouse for such a fantastic generator. It's that good! In my opinion, it's superior to anything with this much power that's on the market today. I'm super impressed and very happy with my purchase. If your considering a high output inverter generator, look no further - quit shopping and net-trolling for comparisons - just buy it. You won't regret it!!

I bought this for my camper to power the AC or top off the batteries when Solar wasn’t enough. The unit is easy to use and, after filling with the supplied oil and then some gas it started on the first pull. I hooked it up to the camper through the 30 Amp supply and my batteries were charged in less then 2 hours. It’s quiet for a generator of this size but you won’t be sleeping with it right next to you. It is 100 lbs but the extendable handle and wheels make it easy to move.

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

I have only used it a few times so I don't have extensive experience, but it seems to work quite well - so 4 stars, will give 5 if continues like this... a bit louder than I thought it would be, although if under the back porch with door closed you don't notice it too much. The panel showing performance parameters is helpful. I bought a 3-way splitter short extension cord / adapter for the RV plug to make a total of 5 three-pronged house outlets. The manual says to be careful when first filling the oil and this is correct! you only need to put in about 2/3 to 3/4 of the supplied oil at first, I overfilled initially and then drained it out to remove enough to get back to medium/high on the dipstick. Others have mentioned starting and choke problems with this generator but I did not notice this. It's chilly early winter here, 30s and 40s F., and maybe that makes a difference. But from other reviews it seems there may be some sporadic quality issues with particular models. The wheels are very helpful since this is quite a heavy generator.
