As specified!

The dimension specs were very important because I need it to fit under my hard tonneau cover for transporting it while towing my 5th wheel RV, so it can be covered and locked, perfect fit! The noise level is important and it is extremely quiet, very pleased. I've been breaking it in before I travel with it to make sure it does the job, randomly putting loads on it to change the rpm's. It ran for 22 hours on a tank of gas and never ran out, very efficient! I turned it off after about 6 days of random run times and changed the oil. The oil change process is a little messy because it's in a tight access area, so I'm glad I did that at home. Overall I'm extremely satisfied. The generator is packaged well for shipping, the box had a good bit of damage to it. The styrofoam packing was even damaged inside, but the generator is in perfect shape.

Great product

So far I have had zero problems with this product, its heavy but that's required in order to produce wattage stated. The handle and wheels are a must, one of the reasons I went with Westinghouse. I like the design and noise reduction qualities. This unit is compact and I can tell it will be easily serviced when required air filter and oil changes are due. Westinghouse went above and beyond including a small tool kit and oil with funnel.

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.

Love the remote start

I use this product to power my 27 foot travel trailer. It will run the air conditioner and the microwave at the same time. I also really like the remote start, such a nice convenience when you don't need to run the power all the time. However I did find that if you leave the battery switch on for 4-5 days it will drain the battery and not start with the electric start. I have yet to determine if the generator running charges the battery or if you need to plug the charger in. So far I am loving the size and power of the iGen4500, easy to move around with the nice telescoping handle.

Fired right up first time with remote start

I did a lot of shopping before I selected this unit. Barely will fit under new bed cover at 20-1/2”. Unit measures right at 20-3/8”. Running fine for a 4 hour break in. Seems to be working just fine. Ran it out of gas. Put in another couple liters and will let it run dry. Cycling loads for 269w to 1.4kW. A little loud but this had one of the lowest dB ratings. Can still talk over it.

Great Generator

Just purchased my second IGen4500 after how good the first has done. Unboxed the first one and immediately took it hunting to run my trailer. Fired up great and ran in 15-20 degree weather with no problems all week. Fuel consumption is awesome with eco setting. Generator is very quiet and even when it is 3 am. Can’t wait to parallel these.

Nice features

Just purchased last week and have only tested both gasoline and propane function at this point. Hooked up to our camper and tested the AC, and it worked fine. We did have a fan and phone chargers plugged in as well. I think it will run everything okay except will probably have to switch other things off to use the electric water heater.

Great features and performance

I did a lot of research before selecting the IGen4500 for use with my travel trailer. The first time I used it was in the mountains at an altitude of 8,500 feet. It ran great without any problems at this higher altitude. I am so happy and very satisfied with this generator. I highly recommend it!

Just what we needed!

We haven't had a chance to actually put it to use for an extended period. However, we have cranked it and used it to run our living quarters horse trailer for a bit. It works perfectly and is really quiet! Who needs to pay waaaay more for a H***a when you can have a Westinghouse for a whole lot less. It serves the same purpose! Love it! And we have already recommended to someone else we know wanting to purchase one!

Purrs like A kitten

I just bought it. Timely delivery, nicely packaged and handled with care for shipping. I took it out of the box followed the easy startup instructions, it started right up and is running great can not wait to get it out camping, and it runs quietly sure it will not bother anybody. I love it so far, the weight of107 lbs is a little heavy for me but will have help to load and unload it while camping
