I bought this for my 37’ houseboat, I replaced a old leaking non reliable 2800 generator, it was loud, leaked oil from gawd knows where, but after careful deliberation I chose the Westinghouse i4500, it’s quite, starts right up and run’s my split unit AC, fridge and coffee maker without even a sweat, would highly recommend,… why you just sitting there.. go get you one.. worth every penny

I researched heavily before purchasing, and I believe this generator is the best option for RV owners who want to be able to run their AC and still have power left to run other items in their trailer. It's quiet, has great power output, long runtime without using much fuel. The remote start is awesome, I plan to use it so I can have power without getting out of my camper.

Just pulled the unit out of the box, put everything together, put some fuel in and it fired right up.. no problems at all. I hooked it up to my travel trailer and performs well, this generator has plenty of power and is quiet in comparison to many other generators.

Added oil like the quick start guide said, added about 2 gallons of gas and plugged the battery terminals . It started on the first pull on the pull cord. I ran it for about 5 minutes, shut it down then started with the push of a button, started right up. Shut it down and started it with the remote which by the way is awesome. This unit runs so quiet . I made the right choice buying Westinghouse instead of Honda. I am extremely impressed.

I purchased this generator as a backup power supply for key circuits in my house during power failures, I purchased an inverter generator because I plan to run my computer and my home entertainment center and wanted clean power (Total Harmonic Distortion less than 3%) but also enough power output to run the refrigerator and 110 volt well pump. I've had the unit long enough to run it through its break-in period and check out the basic features. I like the way the exterior of the unit is sound proofed. It is quieter than my previous generator which had a smaller power output but no sound proofing. I appreciated the way the folks at Westinghouse thought through things. I read reviews that complained about adding/changing the oil, but was pleased that rather than make the customer come up with some sort of workaround, they included what was needed, like an oil filler tube. I also appreciate the pull-out handle and the design of the wheels - with the handle, moving the unit is really no more trouble than wheeling a heavy suitcase. The front panel display is well laid-out and everything's labeled nicely. The Digital data center is especially helpful. I've tried all three methods of starting the unit and it starts easily, even with the recoil pull handle. The key fob starter is a major upgrade for me, and I love the idea of having things set up (say during an ice storm) and only having to flip the power switch on my main panel and hit the key fob to be up and running. Fueling is also set up nicely, there's a fuel filter in the neck of the tank, and a well thought out trough surrounding the filler neck to direct spilled fuel off of the unit.

I bought it to use when dry camping and keep hours off my Built in generator. It runs a 15k Ac unit no problem. It wont run the micro and AC at the same time but any other combo of devices is fine. Pretty quiet when using low power, about the same as my Honda 2000. But when you pull a larger load it is a little louder, but not obnoxious. Honestly even then its tough to hear while in the coach. The remote start is AWESOME! Works very well. Tim

I purchased this to have an easier starting generator and I have to say it was a great purchase. It is quiet running for a generator, that quick start with key fob is excellent seeing as though I have MS and have a hard time with a regular pull start generator. It was one if the best buys I coukd have ever made

I bought one of these new, and it has never started easily, and generally not at all. I did research troubeshooting videos, and the consensus is that Westinghouse for this model (iGen4500) had a starting/choking issue--but they have never fixed it. Once again (today) I needed a generator, and spend about a hour in the snow in 0 degree weather, trying to start the generator.

I did a lot of research on this before buying it and I am so glad that it bought this unit. Instructions were incredibly easy to follow and the unit started on the first try. It’s been running for about an hour now and is incredibly quiet, easy to use and I’m very excited to have this. This is my first generator, I would highly recommend this brand and model is I think it will be a valuable asset for years to come.

With the remote start and the power output generated it's near impossible to find a comparable generator. We love the remote start feature which allows us to turn the generator on while inside the comfort of our toy hauler. Handle and wheels make it easy to transport. Would highly recommend!!
