Works well.

I have been using this generator for over a month now for weekends up at some property I own. I have a trailer with a 15000 btu AC unit and the generator handles it fine get overwhelmed when I try turning on the other 13000 btu ac unit as well but I knew it wasn't designed to handle both so no fault to the unit there. I did run into one draw back when I left the generator running for a few hours powering the AC unit in my trailer it just stopped working tried restarting started up for a minute then stopped again. I played with it for a while and finally got it running and what I think was the issue was the ground wasn't perfectly level so just a heads up level the generator. Over all I'm happy with my purchase

Nice generator, once the choke is fixed

We bought this generator to power our travel trailer. Added oil and gas....wouldn't start. Did some research online and found the "fix" for the automatic choke. Once that issue was taken care of, the iGen4500 does everything we wanted and expected it to do. It runs our A/C on the camper with not a great amount of noise.

Excellent Value!

I bought this item expecting an extremely capable QUIET generator and I was not disappointed. This thing powers everything in my home with the exception of the AC unit and water heater but I knew that coming in. The only complaint I have is that the AUTO Choke was not working straight out of the box. Apparently this is common with this unit and I actually had to open it up and re-connect a cable to the control board. Was kind of a pain and wasn't happy about it but now the generator is great.

3 1/2 years old, 22 hours and needs a new carb

Bought this 8/24/2020. Love the quietness of this generator and it use to do the job when we lost power. Last week we lost power in a storm. Turned on on fuel switch, started the generator and I smelled gas. Shut it down and fuel was leaking onto the floor. The carb float bowl gasket is shot and leaks fuel. Cannot find parts for the Huayi carb to save my life. Westinghouse Parts store is out of stock on full carb replacement.

Quite Operation

I purchased this generator to supply power to my 5th Wheel when I am not in a park. It had to be quite enough to pass the Forest Service requirements. It has done a great job. I will be getting a second unit and use the parallel cable to get twice the power !!

Super Quiet Machine

This generator is unbelievably quiet. I purchased a Honda EU7000 that was just too big but bought for its quietness, sold it and took a chance on the Westinhouse Brand, Not disappointed at all, infact Glad the other was too big, this machine is great.

Best RV generator out there!

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!!

Why have a remote?

I haven’t actually used it yet but got it ready and tested it prior to our cold winters. It seems to run and start just fine but the fact that it comes with a remote start FOB puzzles me. You still have to go out to the machine to turn the switch on or you will drain your battery. When you turn on the on switch it lights up which will drop power from the battery constantly as long as it is turned on where the battery dies. The instructions also say not to have anything plugged in to the generator when you start it so that’s another thing you have to be at the machine for. Use caution when putting the engine oil in. The bottle says .64 quarts but mine did not take the whole bottle.

Awesome generator

We took it out of the box and added oil and gas and it started on 2nd pull. We ran for a little over an hour and hooked it to our camper. It ran the air conditioning unit and all the lights and never even bogged down. Awesome purchase! Highly recommend

Perfect for my application

Perfect for my application, goes with 28 foot travel trailer primarily to run air conditioning. Easy to place on rear folding cargo rack thanks to wheels and extended handle. Extended run time with large fuel tank and pleasantly quiet. Battery start or remote start. Has 30 amp plug which matches RV so no adapter needed. Recommended by a friend, ordered the next day.
