When I unboxed and setup the Gen it wouldn't start. I researched and found that it was a common problem with this Gen. One of the cables was NOT plugged in. Westinghouse needs to do better QUALITY CONTROL. They have an Excellent Product but the People Assembling it are lacking.

I bought this last month and took it out immediately on a trip, It did everything I expected perfectly. It got great fuel economy, was very quiet (especially for its size), was very user friendly, it had plenty of power to run all accessories on my travel trailer. Having the key Fob to remote start and shut off is an extremely convenient feature, I found myself only using that to cycle it on and off. Only con is that it Is very heavy, especially when it's full of fuel. It's definitely a two-person lift to get it into a truck, But it has a nice retractable handle and wheels to move it easily when it's on the ground. Totally expected with a unit of this size.

Exceptional workmanship. Well thought out design. There are two companies that dominate the market for campers/RV crowd and this generator came to dominate the game. Remote start, dual fuel, longer run time, quieter than stated, higher running watts so you don't have to worry about what you can run in your camper. I couldn't ask for anything more. Oh, and have the price of the competition with the same quality.

This is an initial impression since I just received the generator, set it up, & tested it to power my fifth wheel rv. I've had 2 Honda eu2000i gens run in parallel for the last 10 years of fulltime travel. This iGen4500 is to replace the Hondas. It has slightly more power than the 2 Hondas together, but with electric start, it is much more convenient to use.My main concern was if this would be as quiet as the Hondas. I carry & use the gen in my truck bed. I tested both the Hondas & the iGen4500 in my truck bed with a decibel meter, both at idle & while powering my air conditioner. I was surprised to find the iGen4500 produced the exact same decibel levels as the Hondas under both conditions. I'm really looking forward to the quietness & the convenience of electric remote start.

I wrote a review a couple days ago had a little trouble getting it started at first, thought it had something to do with having to hold the start button till the green light blinking then taping the start button but that quit working. I ended up finding after all that it was just like other bad reviews the automatic choke was not working, I opened the face and the side panel with the pull start cord on it and found the choke wiring harness was unplugged. I did a lot of research before buying this generator and the only bad reviews were because of this same problem so was kind of expecting it. The other bad reviews go back a couple of years so am surprised they haven’t figured out a fix for this issue yet but a simple fix if slightly mechanically inclined and have a philips screw driver and a 10mm socket. After plugging in harness it starts on the first try every time,

I've just bought the iGen4500 and it is now my 4th Westinghouse generator (I've had a WH2400i and I still have a pair of iGen2500's) and I've been very pleased with them all. The only complaint I've had with the smaller generators (which I run in parallel) is that they don't hold enough fuel so I have to refuel them 2 or 3 times during a track day which is very inconvenient. I tried adding an extended run generator and that went really well until the hot summer days came along and vapor lock set in. So, I finally gave up and decided to just buy an iGen4500 with its much larger tank which I'm hoping will allow me to get through a track day without refueling.

Used this to run some audio and lighting for my stage production company. Love having the meter that shows the wattage being pulled! Also, the push start is fantastic. Makes it quick and easy. It started right up out of the box, and still does to this day.

First unit was damaged in shipping but not to the point that should have impacted performance. Electric start didn't work, choke was stuck on, way under powered, ran very rough. Still with all its problems it pull started easy and got the job done. for weight and price next time I will go with two i2000 and a link cable.

Everything was there that I was looking for. Started easily and ran smoothly. One nick picky item: It would be nice to have a indicator on the float charger wall power supply or on the face of the control panel showing that the float charger is in operation.

Originally i was very happy to have purchased this generator. Literally everything that i want on a generator for a killer price. I happened to be one that got one of the duds as i cant get it to start on its own without taking the cover off and manually adjusting the choke. not sure if there is yet a fix for this but i hope to find out soon.
