I just got the initial set up completed and I am very pleased with the included accessories. A funnel, tool kit and the engine oil. Just had to add gas. The unit seems to have some stress marks in the plastic and it does make an “unusual” rattle under load. I am boing the break in time now and I’ll see if anything changes. Slightly louder than I expected but not a deal killer. I love the electric/remote start.

2nd iGen4500 we purchased. 1st one worked great for our class B motorhome. let it go when we sold the motorhome. we live in Florida, so purchased 2nd one for hurricane season. electric start is great. runs quiet and provides all the power we need. have recommended this product to many others.

The Good - This unit is ultra quiet! Long runtime. Love the display! The Bad - My unit arrived with scratches all over the plastic housing due to handling. The Ugly - Oil changes are difficult due to the location of the oil drain plug. Westinghouse can improve this by making the oil change door opening larger.

I just purchased this IGEN4500 and wanted something that would handle our new trailer while also being portable, light and had all the extra luxurious items I wanted. This had it all, remote start and stop, super quiet, powerful and plenty of outlets while also having a great fuel capacity. Started right up on the first start and so far no issues. Taking it on our first trip this weekend and looking forward to our dry camping.

We bought this generator recently to help power our travel trailer and also to possibly act as a good backup power source for our home. So far in my testing it is very quiet and very easy to use. I know we definitely be getting our use out of it very soon and look forward to how convenient the remote control is and how well it keeps clean power running to our trailer. Thank you Westinghouse for building a great product!

I wanted to get as small and quite a generator that would provide power during emergencies for my home. I started up after a few attempts and it was very quite and for the power very maneuverable with the telescoping handle. Be careful adding the oil when setting up or you'll make a big mess. Go slow and check to see if it is emptying from fill plug so it doesn't overflow too much. I have not had the chance to use it to power anything yet, but turns on and all the functions seem to work so far. I'll have to put it through it's paces before the next power outage to make sure it handles the load I want it to.

I have owned my Westinghouse oven 4500 for a few years and it was worked flawlessly. It provides the power I need at a quiet level. Also the remote start is extremely nice and it makes my camping neighbors jealous lol. Thanks for making a great product.

I have not had the opportunity to start this yet, but i will go over the pros and cons of why I purchased this unit. Pros are the Key fob and push button start, with someone who has several herniated discs in my lower back this was a must, the gas gauge and run time until empty is a feature that will be very useful as the power output in percentages and the charging cord to keep the onboard battery charged. The cons is only one, I wish they had a better way to change the oil without making such a mess..

I now own two Westinghouse Inverter Generators. I bought the iGen2200 a few months ago and liked it so much I bought the iGen4500 to use at home and with my RV. It is the largest inverter generator I could find and the price was good. The generator is very quiet, extremely easy & convenient to start with the pushbutton or the remote fob, but, there are some things I don't like. The first is that the 30A receptacle is upside down. I had read about it in other reviews, but, didn't grasp the significance. I cannot completely plug in my RV plug because the plastic cover interferes with the plug. It also falls out easily since the weight of the wire is above the plug. The other thing that I don't like is more than just an annoyance. I bought the 4500 (3700 running) watt generator to be able to power the air conditioner in my RV when not connected to shore power. My RV has a 30 Amp connection. When plugged into shore power my AC, refrigerator, coffee pot, ice maker and lights (all LED) are all powered with no issues. When I try to run my AC only with my generator, it frequently trips into overload status. This generator should have no issues running my AC (3,700 Watts/110V = 33.6A). So, it is either defective or the rating is accurate. Maybe it needs a break-in period...? I've only used it on one camping trip so far. (Side note - I had ordered it for a cross-country trip. The original shipping date was well before my departure date, but, repeated delays in shipping dates caused it to arrive at my house the day before I returned from my trip). I could parallel both of my generators, but, the reason I got the 4500 was so that I didn't have to carry two generators, especially when one is as large and heavy as the iGen4500. I would give this a "qualified" recommendation depending on requirements.

I researched hours for what I hoped would be the perfect generator. I have a "whole house", 11K generator, but store sold me on whole house when in fact I would have needed another 6-10K. So last year during Irma, the whole house decided to konk out and left me with no power. I borrowed a 3700 and ran 2 refrigerators, freezer, computers, tv & fans. It saved me as power was out exactly 6 days. So I settle on the iGen 4500 because of features and price and I can see I didn't make a mistake. I'll get to the cons but the pros: easy start and far quieter than I imagined. Had to keep going outside during test run just to make sure it was running. Love all the information on the digital screen and didn't even cough when I put a load on it. Seems to be frugal with the fuel use. The cons: First off the panels, all of which had to come off in order to access important pieces. The back for the battery, wire to connect battery was tucked so far under the unit you couldn't see it thru the access panel. They recommend draining fuel from the carb bowel after use but you have to take the five screws out of the side panel to access the unit. Why not use butterfly screws/bolts to make this process so much easier. On to oil access. You can see it but if your hands are big getting to the dip stick and getting it off and rethreaded takes some doing. Those are all minor details the company should be looking at and wouldn't deter me from buying this unit again. I don't want to have to use it but wow, what a great piece of mind I just bought. Had two other brands picked out but am sure this is the right one. With continued use maybe I'll update down the road.
