Good Value

This generator appears to be a good value for the price. I plan to use it to provide power for my camper when shore power is unavailable. I like that it has an electric start so I don't have to pull start it. I have only ran it for about 10 hours so far so I can't comment on its long term performance. So far it appears to be able to power all of the appliances in my 30 foot Cougar camper. I even ran two 1500 watt electric heaters at the same time. The overload indicator light did come on as the air conditioner started, but the air continued to run.

Has every feature I needed in a Generator

Purchased this unit for our camper, and the remote start was a must. Easy to start and maintain. The noise levels are low. Easy to move around with the extendable luggage handle. There is also a dual fuel version of this available with the remote start feature which is hard to find at the moment.

IGen4500

Older Generator quit working while Camping with my RV , ordered IGen4500 arrived within 3 Days. Unpacked, very easy to get through the initial setup to get it running. Started up at first try. Love the Pull Bar which i didn't even know about so much easier to pull the generator. Remote start is a HUGE + ... Enough power to go around and quiet ... GREAT Design with easy access panels.

Great generator for the price

Recieved generator with in 1 week of purchase. Which was quick due to factory shutting down due to the covid. Followed instructions accroding to the Westinghouse quick start manual. But the generator would not run right and would shutoff when any load was applied. Called technical support and was told I would revived a call within 24 to 48 hours. Hope this issue can get resolved quickly

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

Very user friendly.

Can tell a lot of thought went into this machine. I live off grid and depend on a generator. I have bought other brands of similar size. Had problems. The Westinghouse 4500 is working great for me. It’s dependable, quiet and love the wireless remote!

Great generator, manual needs more details.

This is a great generator and I can’t believe how quiet it is. I don’t understand why the Quick Start guide and the owners manual make no mention of the battery connection required prior to the first start. I was afraid I had a defective unit or defective automatic choke but figured out that the battery was not connected for shipping, but it wasn’t obvious when looking at the connections. It has plugs that have to be pushed together but both ends were tucked behind the housing and battery. I removed the battery and discovered the plugs. Again, neither manual makes any mention of it. Once I figured that out it started immediately with the start button, the remote and the recoil. I really hope this ends up being a reliable generator since it has such great features and power for its size.

On the fence

So far after getting it ready to start the pool starts fine. Took two poles electric start/remote start doesn’t start hoping it’s just a low battery so I’m charging the battery overnight then we’ll see from there supposed to be an outrageous product. Did a lot of research hoping I don’t have any problems.

Great once you get it going.

The product did not work when it arrived. After trying all the troubleshooting tips and sitting on hold with customer service, I found multiple YouTube videos all saying the same thing. I had to pop off the panels (which are not easily done) and found that a cable arrived unattached that controlled the idle. I plugged that in and everything has worked great since. It's a really nice unit, I just don't like that I had to take it apart new out of the box to get it to work.

remote works great

I bought this 2 months ago, it works perfectly except that the remote stopped working after a rainy day, and I did not cover the generator. After about two weeks, I tried the remote again, and it started working again! I like the remote , it really helped when we boon-docking our 5th wheel. I put the generator on the bed of my truck. It works great in terms of convenience (remote start), reducing weight of 5th wheel, noice level.
