Only owned the generator for a couple of weeks, started up fine and ran for 5 hours for the break in period. After five hours, checked to see if it would start the 5th wheel A/C, no problem at all. Hopefully it will continue operating without a hitch.

The dealer I ordered my horse trailer from recommended this generator to use for the living quarters. I will receive the trailer tomorrow and started reading the guide for this generator. First of all, I am an older lady who needs something that I can handle on my own. After reading the manual on this, I can take care of everything including maintenance and storing. I purchased a dog ramp, so I can wheel this into my trailer. It is so easy to move. I couldn't be more satisfied.

This generator appears to be a good value for the price. I plan to use it to provide power for my camper when shore power is unavailable. I like that it has an electric start so I don't have to pull start it. I have only ran it for about 10 hours so far so I can't comment on its long term performance. So far it appears to be able to power all of the appliances in my 30 foot Cougar camper. I even ran two 1500 watt electric heaters at the same time. The overload indicator light did come on as the air conditioner started, but the air continued to run.

I was a bit concerned upon reading some of the reviews however once receiving my generator-it started right up and I am extremely happy with the overall product. Nice and quiet for camping as stated. Runs my 15,000 btu a/c in my rv at 25% in eco mode. Was a bit difficult and messy to get the correct amount of oil into the engine. That is the reason I am giving it 4 stars.

After weeks of research, I purchased the igen4500. I had read about various issues associated with the choke and upside down 30amp plug. Both of these issues appear to have been resolved in the manufacturing process as neither materialized on my unit. Added oil and fuel, started up straight away. 2 days later I ran it for 24 hrs in 40 degree, humid conditions without issue. Fully satisfied.

the westinghouse igen4500 has everything you coud ask for already included. The push button star makes starting easy, the remote control makes it great for not having to get out of camper in the middle of night to shut it down at bedtime or fire it up in the morning to heat up the camper without leaving the bed.

Used various generators throughout the years as a firefighter. This generator seems to be almost as quiet as the 2200 watt red generators which name starts with the letter “H”. After adding oil and gas this generator started immediately with the push of the start button. Starter battery was fully charged straight from the box. Overall this unit appears to be built solid and I expect it will provide many years of reliable service.

Quicker than advertised shipping. Would not start out of the box until I connected the automatic choke wire that everyone mentions comes loose during shipping. 10 minutes of pulling panels, connecting the loose connection and putting panels back on and it ran really well. Very impressed with initial quality. More power for considerably less money than a Honda.

I got this home and hooked up the battery (easier than the instructions) put the oil in, added gas and hit the start button. Voila! Started right up. It is charging my trailer’s batteries. Haven’t taken it on the road yet but so far, so good. Only complaint is that the access to the oil cap is a bit small but otherwise I am happy.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this generator. After hooking up the battery and filling oil and gas, it started on the first pull. I ran it a few hours with a light load. It is very quiet. Read 70db standing right next to it and 52-54db at 50'. I hooked it up to my living quarters horse trailer and it indicated 25% load with the 13,500btu A/C running, went to 75% with the microwave. Who knew they drew this much power? Then turned on a 1500 watt ceramic heater and it approached 100% but the main breaker still held. I highly recommend this product.
