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.

We purchased this unit to power up our travel trailer in the fall of last year but just got around to powering it up this past weekend. We look forward to using it both in the travel trailer and for the house when the power goes out. We love the quietness of this unit and the ease of starting it. Three options to start: Pull chord, push button and remote. As senior citizens, ease of operation is imperative.

I purchased this for a 27' toy hauler to power while we're boondocking. I've barely just started the generator, but it appears to be running smoothly and powering things just fine. I've owned open frame generators in the past, but this is my first inverter generator, and I will say, this thing is ridiculously quiet. I like the digital gauge and the easy to read panel. The only downside so far is that the oil fill is fairly tucked away inside of the unit and it can be tough for people with larger hands to screw and unscrew the dipstick. A fairly minor complaint.

I bought this generator on the 19th of November 2019. Opened the box up, followed the instructions for setup. Hit the start button and boom it fired right up and has been working great. We bought this to power our 31ft travel trailer, it has the Dometic 13.5k BTU A/C unit on it and this generator runs it no issues, we were watching movies, had all the lights on and microwaved food all while running the A/C set to 70 degrees and this generator never missed a beat. We live in TX and A/C is a must have at all times of the year for the most part. The remote start is an awesome feature and just so you know, you can leave the battery power switch on even if the gen isn't running for at least 8hrs and the light will not drain the battery, we tested it. I'm very impressed with this unit and hope to have it for many years.

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.

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" ......

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!

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!!

Just bought this generator and love the features on it. It was between the Champion or this one. The igen4500 has the features like fuel shut off, and a battery charger to maintain the battery. I'm doing through the break in period, hope it last me a long time.

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!
