Super simple set up. Did the break-in, and this generator handled it without breaking a sweat. Also, as quiet as I was hoping it would be, and even quieter in ECO mode. So, I'm giving this unit two thumbs up. Also, Westinghouse made the registration easy as well.

I bought a pair of the iGen4500 online and had them shipped to my home. Read the manual, added the oil and fuel and put them both into service right way. So far they have both run like a champ. They seem to produce the rated power easily run smoothly even under the maximum rated load. They are a little heavy at just over 100lbs but I have found a generator for that output that's any lighter and the wheels help compensate when you move it around. This is my second pair of Westinghouse iGens and so far Im very happy with every unit.

I bought this 2 weeks ago after a 24-hour power outage. It will supply us enough power to stay warm and keep our refrig running for as long as we need, and is quiet enough to not bother the neighbors. I like the remote start/stop, and built-in handle to move it. If it lasts I will be immensely satisfied!

Bought this generator as a back up for my RV in case of power outages. Very pleased with its performance and durability. Easy to maintain and use, love the remote control and the hand rail to tote the generator much easier. Read many reviews and watched videos before purchasing. Westinghouse has a parallel kit available for these model gens so that you can connect two for added power for added amp hours.

I bought this unit 2 month ago, and very pleased with the performance. Remote starter was must to have for me, it works great. The unit won't start without enough oil; this was the only issue I had: it's hard to figure out how much oil went in and its level. Other than that - it's a great product.

Received new generator with noticeable rust at fuel tank neck. Immediately contacted Westinghouse who ensured me this is normal. Ran generator to make sure every thing worked (using sta-bil added fuel). Tested generator 2 month later to make sure every thing worked fine before storm season but generator would not maintain power and kept turning off. Checked online and found service bulletin with instruction on manual fix by opening the cover and manually adjusting choke. So assumed this was known issue and dropped off at local service center. I am told the carburetor was gummed/dirty and this would not be covered under warranty. Called up Westinghouse and service rep politely read instructions: for "2 month storage the float bowl has to be emptied of fuel". Not having emptied the fuel from the float bowl broke the generator in 2 month. Hard to believe that if I had turned on the generator few days earlier, the generator would had work. The fact that there is a service bulletin that was created to temporary fix this exact problem actually exists suggests there is a model wide quality issue. Also Westinghouse claiming rusted fuel tank is normal also suggests this model is cheaply made. Can not recommend for first time generator users. I suspect the rust and carburetor issues are tied. Also, this generator requires lots of maintenance that must be followed accurately. Being 1 day late will break unit.

Bought this earlier this week and started the recommended break-in period this evening. Easy to prepare to run, easy to change the oil. Started 1st pull. Remote worked 1st try from 25 feet. Push button start worked as advertised. Oil change at 1 hour of only normal idle/no load; had some noticeable silver metal shavings. I will run a second hour at idle, then 30 minutes under the load of Travel Trailer's AC and change the oil again and be ready for the summer travels..

Received my igen4500 several days ago, product was packaged well and everything needed to start was included except gas of course. Instructions on startup was clear and easy. Generator seems to be constructed well and I love the handle, wheels, and especially the remote. The generator started on the second try, understandable because the carb had to fill with fuel. I was surprised at how quite this generator is. I definitely hope to get good service from this machine because I am impressed so far.

I bought the iGen 4500 for camping and for the ocassional power outage. I live in the high desert region along the San Gabriel Mt range in California, so, I purchased the high altitude kit for 3000-6000 ft. Westinghouse has an excellent tutorial video that leads you through the process step-by-step to swap out the carburetor jet. FYI, I labeled sandwich bags with each step, which helped in not mixing up hardware and reassembling the panels. We finally got to use the iGen 4500 on a camping trip last week, and I can't be more pleased with its performance and at how quiet it is. It started right up, but I especially love the remote control. A friend in our group was so impressed with it that he said he's looking for a smaller, easier to move generator and decided to purchase the dual fuel model.

very pleased with my iGen4500 purchase. easy to add the oil and start right out of the box. I read a lot of reviews which stated this model has automatic choke issues, well either I got lucky or they fixed the problem because mine works fine. haven't owned it for long so my review is limited to just a few tests but very happy with it so far. looking forward to camping season.
