Power output, ease of start, fuel efficiency, and noise are all good. Only downside was that it came with a wiring harness disconnected. As a result, generator would not automatically switch off choke. Had to take all access panels off to connect wiring harness.

I set up engine and started motor. Motor did not come up to speed. Smoked a lot. I have seen many reviews about issues with the choke, so I pulled the side panel off and checked operation of the choke. It was stuck closed.. I manually opened it and the generator ran just like it should. i ran it for about 4 hours with about 1500 watt load and all went well. I downloaded the Service Bulletin on the choke cable issue. I followed the instructions, pulled the front panel and reconnected the dangling connector. Put everything back together and watched the choke operate as the motor was starting and all was good. I am going to use this for power outages and I have every belief that it will perform as advertised when the time comes.

I decided I need an updated generator and after spending time looking through the myriad options locally and online, I landed on this one and I'm glad I did! Easy instructions to follow and with a simple push of a button, my new generator was cranking up with no effort! I love that this thing is not deafening and I won't have to worry about neighbors thinking it's too loud when operating. It's easy to move around with the built in wheels with pull handle built in. I have already used it in a few mobile situations and everyone loved it and I'll be in a much stronger position during longer than normal power outages in the future from hurricanes.

I have been looking at a variety of different generators to power my new 5th wheel. This isn’t something I will use very often - maybe 2 or 3 times a year when boon-docking. I have had generators in the past and seldom used them do to noise levels and weight, so both were important considerations for me. I wanted something that I could carry on the back of my 5th wheel when needed (easy to load and unload) and be able to setup 50 feet away and not know it is running. While I haven’t had much time to run the new Westinghouse iGen 4500, I have to say I am impressed so far. Unboxing and setup was very straightforward. Added gas and oil, connected the battery and fired it up. I started small with the load - first a light, then a power tool until I got it up to what I thought was operating temperature. Then the big test - connected the 5th wheel in order to try the main 15k AC unit. I should note that I installed an internal EMS power protection unit on the 5th wheel and got an error code as soon as I connected the generator. Being very familiar with electricity and electronics, I immediately knew what the problem was - floating neutral. I was disappointed that the instruction manual doesn’t address this. After tying the neutral to ground (search YouTube for directions), the 5th wheel came to life. I ran the generator through a number of different power scenarios and it handled all of them very well. Noise levels were very acceptable in my opinion. I didn’t find the suitcase handle to be very user friendly. For me, it is easier to pick it up by the two handles and load it on a custom rack on the back of my 5th wheel. Overall, I am very impressed with this generator. Only time will tell for durability and dependability.

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

So I did a lot of research into what inverter generator to buy and if the igen4500 wasn't #1, it was top 3. After our first outing, I see why. It powered everything in our camper (15 btu ac, heater, 2 fridges, and tvs with ease. This thing is pretty quiet too! Had the TV going, started it and had to peak my head out to make sure it started with the remote start. Definitely recommend!

I bought this for emergency home back up use. This generator is surprisingly quiet (for a generator). I really like that it provides details on fuel level and time remaining as well as wattage and run time. I wish that it was easier to fill and drain the oil but that's really the only quibble that I can think of. Overall, it seems to be a great generator and great value.

Just set up my new I Gen 4500 and am running it for the first time. Everything has worked well so far. Only complaint is that the oil dipstick is nearly impossible to read. Other than that, very pleased with the purchase. Surprisingly quiet and remote start and front wheels are a great feature.

Comes basically ready to go, connect battery(2 slip together wires) fill with shipped oil and start up. Already sitting on my cargo rack on the rear bumper of my travel trailer, enough juice to power everything and i mean everything. Just a hair over 100 lbs my wife and I can set it on cargo shelf no problem. Also kinda nice to have a bit larger one to have around the house just in case, you never know. Thanks

Just got this unit yesterday and so far so good. I fired the unit up and it is extremely quiet and I am very impressed so far. The strap that holds the battery was actually cut but I have a call out to Westinghouse to get a replacement. Looks like I get to test out their service.
