Great rv generator

I’ve been borrowing my buddies Westinghouse IGen 4500 for several weeks now and I have been extremely impressed with this generator. I recently bought my own, my family and I like to camp off grid in our rv as much as possible throughout the year. This generator has been able to keep my air conditioner, all my appliances, plugs, lights, tv, and some other equipment running at one time during the summer and does everything I need it to do in the winter aswell. It’s very quiet so you can have it running at night while everyone is sleeping without bugging or waking anyone. It shipped to me in perfect condition and required very little work to get the generator started and running. I give the westinghouse IGen4500 5 stars because it deserves it.

What an awesome generator!

I bought this generator based off of reviews on the internet. And I can say without a doubt it was an excellent purchase. I was looking for a powerful yet quiet generator. This generator does both of those very well. In fact I had the generator running with just the television running. I walked to the generator close enough that my leg was touching it. I called my dad (because I’m trying to talk him into getting the same one) and asked him if her could hear it over the phone. He couldn’t! I had a short conversation speaking in my normal voice. I don’t typically review products. But if your in the market for a good generator this is an excellent choice.

Spilled oil.

Just got it, so far no problems. Starts manually at first pull, electric start and remote works fine also. Easy to move around and generator really quite. But... not a big deal, nevertheless I think it worst mentioning. Manual states to pour the entire bottle of oil into the engine, one would assume that is correct amount of oil, well in my case I got quite a mess, most likely some oil remained in the engine from factory. Just a suggestion for new owners... do not assume, check oil level before bottle is empty. Otherwise if that is only problem I will be extremely happy with IGen4500.

Very user friendly.

Can tell a lot of thought went into this machine. I live off grid and depend on a generator. I have bought other brands of similar size. Had problems. The Westinghouse 4500 is working great for me. It’s dependable, quiet and love the wireless remote!

Great value

My son in law was the first to purchase after I researched this generator.We Elk hunt every year and we dry camp with our pull trailers. We used it for a full week without any issues.It was great on fuel and the remote start was a fantastic addition to our prior generator that we had to go out in the cold to start and stop.

Power for RV

I purchased this generator to provide power for a used Class C RV that had a non-working onboard generator. 4500 watts was plenty to run the air conditioning and the rest of the coach and it's super-quiet. Mounted on a rack on front of the coach, you can barely hear it inside.

Easy to start and extremely quiet

I purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500 about three weeks ago and finally got around to setting it up. It's a fairly straight forward process that includes adding oil m, connecting the battery cable quick connect, and adding gas (I choose no ethanol for small engines and have found them to run better). The key fab is a nice option for remote starts, and it also has a push button start, and pull cord back up. It fired up on the first try after I remembered to adjust the fuel switch to the open position. It was so impressed with how quiet it ran, and I was able to carry on a conversation with my wife while standing about five feet away from the unit. I'm expecting the iGen4500 to be my first and last electric generator since it has so many nice features, and I the build quality is impressive.

Effortless

I was in the market for a new generator ASAP. After searching the web, I came across Westinghouse. I've never owned one of their products previously, but everything about this generator was intriguing. From the wattage, RV plug, USB's, push start, pull start, remote start, battery charger, run time, digital output gauges even for the fuel level, hidden handle for toting it around, and most of all the price. For all the functionalities this thing has, nothing else compares for the cost. I received my generator in less than 2 full days, followed the easy step by step instructions, and started it right up, it's pretty easy. First add oil, second add gas, third plug in the battery, lastly push the start button. Couldn't be easier. Once it was running, my wife and I had a normal conversation standing right next to it. We are both shocked with how quiet this thing is, even when it's not running on ECO mode. As an electrician I know Westinghouse has in the electrical industry for years. So why not trust them when it comes to a generator.

Bad experience

Out of the box, I've had nothing but issues. Push button start won't work. Remote start won't work. The manual start works 50/50. I tried to fix the choke and manual start worked once and then got stuck again. Tried charging the battery overnight hoping that would fix it. Nothing. Even pulled off all the covers to look for a commonly disconnected cable and that was hooked up just fine. Will try replacing the spark plug and if that doesn't work, it gets shipped back. This has been a nightmare. Was supposed to use for a camping trip in the next few days.

Great generator

Great generator as long as it starts! Once you get the unit running, it works great and powers an rv with no issue. Runs quite and the remote start/stop is a nice feature. Waiting for a response from Westinghouse on what to do about the starting issue.
