Worked fine right out of the box. My biggest complaint would be to relocate the carrying handles further to the sides of the generator if possible. Being a bit aged the gen isn't the lightest for two to carry. Handles closer to the edges would make it easier. Also there isn't alot of black top/concrete where we use the generator making the small wheels basically drags in softer terrain. Bigger wheels would help drastically.

We received our generator, and went through the setup process. I was surprised at how easy it was to start the generator using the manual pull start, the electronic start and the remote start. No regrets on this purchase. Super quiet. I was standing right next to the generator having a conversation with a friend who is hard of hearing with no problem.

I purchased an iGen4500 a couple months ago. When l finally got around to trying to fire it up, it would make a loud screeching noise and would not start. I had to take it to an authorized shop, where they had it for 3 weeks, before Westinghouse elected to send out a replacement generator. I went to fire up the new generator, and guess what?!? This one wont start either!! Two generators, and both of them are defective. DO NOT BUY, their products don't work. God forbid I needed it during an emergency, and this thing wont start.

I used this inverter generator after hurricane Milton and was blown away at the ease of operation, power, and gas consumption. It starts with a push of a button, it ran every thing I need it to run, and I only filled it up once. It just keeps going and going and going. I’m blown away with how little gas this uses. I highly recommend you purchase this!

Bought in Aug 2024. Started right up on second pull (wanted to find out how easily it would start without using electric start). Ran fine. Started again in Sept and ran several hours with varying load and it did fine. Changed oil and followed long term storage instructions. Instructions very good. Would have given 5 stars but needs some improvements: Larger access panel to oil fill area. Easier way to drain fuel tank. Screwdriver and spark plug wrench provided were low quality

This is the second generator I purchased. I'm so glad I spent the extra money for this model. It is exactly what we were looking for. All of the features make it so easy to use. We have had it for a month now and are confident we will be ready for the next power outage.

My Honda is showing signs of its age and also its power is marginal for our new 5th wheel RV. I've looked at a lot of generators and thought the IGen4500 would be a perfect upgrade. And what an upgrade it it. It appears the quality is as good as my old generator and the power, remote start, wheels, etc., etc., make it a far more suitable unit. Oh yes, the price tag of less than half that of the Honda sealed the deal for me.

Start i’ve been using this generator every day since I purchased it a week ago it’s easy for me to move around with the handle and soft rubber wheels the electric start makes it easy for I am with shoulder injuries I pump water for my cattle out in my pastures and it’s nice and quiet while I’m doing so what a great deal

I wanted a backup generator in case of an extended hurricane electrical outage. I chose this one based on the inverter technology. It is much quieter and if needed, one can plug in sensitive electronics directly without worrying they might get fried based on a "dirty" current line as in a standard generator. Think of inverter technology as a "surge suppressor". Also like the ease of use, good value, good name, and better warranty than most others. I like the remote start and electronic gauge readings, especially the time left to run. Started right up the first time I pushed the button. I like it but...hope I never have to use it!

I have a Honda EU 3000 and a predator 3500 now this one and there’s many features I like about this but there are some improvements needed. 1 this when under a load runs around 76db’s and the predator ran at 72db, Honda being the loudest at 79db. I’d love this unit to be quieter. 2.) Oil capacity needs to be 1 qt to make things easy as well as a filter or a magnetic dip stick. Both would be great. 3.) Plastics. I have no idea who is in charge of plastic but these are aweful. They scratch and mar extremely fast and they have stress marks in certain parts. 4.) Gas cap should be made so that it clicks when tightening. 5.) bigger wheels and remove the telescoping pole for better outdoor and camping use. Sand and grit will get in the mechanism and render it almost useless.
