Not 30 amp RV Ready

This generator stopped working after 6 uses. Westinghouse will not warranty they said they googled it and I overloaded the inverter module on the generator with my 30 amp RV 15000 BTU which is on a 15 amp breaker. I did a video and shared it with them, and on start up amps only went to 27.6 for less than a second then dropped to 10.8 amps while using a 3500 watt Briggs & Stratton generator That I normally use with my RV. I also provided them with correct info from the A/C manufacture. This is what the manufacture said (The compressor will only pull locked rotor amps if the compressor is locked up, and if that were the case the compressor would pull locked rotor amps every time it tries to start. Normally when the compressor is starting it will pull 2 to 2 ½ times what the RLA state on the data sticker for the first split second and then drop back down to the running load amps it is rated at.) This is exactly what my video showed. (Sorry I'm not able to, load my video on this review. The Specifications info on website is very misleading also no wear in manual or website does it talk about or show any information on what locked rotor amps the generator is rated for, but this is the reason they will not warranty.

Large power in a tiny package

We've run a food trailer for several years and I've been breaking my back loading and unloading a larger (8750KW) generator. A friend suggested I try his Westinghouse iGen4500. We used his once and LOVED it so much we purchased our own. I can now lift the generator into the truck without ramps. The iGen4500 is so quiet, that we only place it 50' away from the trailer instead of 100' like the larger one. Most importantly, considering the current gas prices, we are using less gasoline. Our old generator would use 4+ gallons over six hours. The iGen4500 used only a little more than one gallon. We love our new Westinghouse iGen4500!

Super Quiet Generator!

We love this generator for our RV, it is super quiet and light weight. We can have it run all night and people around us don't complain about it because it is so quiet. Absolutely love the remote start. We had looked at several generators before buy but so happy we decided to by the Westinghouse iGen4500, great product for the price!

Ample power to deliver all my needs

Although it was larger than what I really needed it's always better to have more than not enough when you really need it. Cleanly powers all of my items while in Eco mode. Unboxing and setup was a breeze with everything needed in the box. Simply followed the quick start instructions and it fired up and ran beautifully on the first try. I would recommend this to anyone looking for fairly easy transport and ample campsite electric power.

So Far So Good

I bought this generator for my travel trailer and so far it has exceeded my expectations. it is easy to use and it seems easy to maintain. changing the oil was a breeze. I didn't know what to expect as far as noise level but compared to most generators, this one is by far quieter. It is heavy at about 100 lbs with fluids but it is a beast of a generator. I am very satisfied with my purchase!

Great Unit - Love it

I purchased this unit in March 2024. We do a lot of outdoor activities, and it has more than lived up to my expectations. It has plenty of power to run all of our needs and is actually great on gas. Our most recent use, it ran 8+ hours for two days straight and I didn't refuel. I would definitely purchase again.

Compact and Easy to Use

I ordered this in mid-August, but it did not arrive until 4 weeks later, so I've not had a chance to do much more than set it up, start and test run it a few times. It runs quieter that I expected and the extendable handle makes it easy to move around, though over 100# in weight. Starting sequence is straight-forward, and the remote and electric start make it easy for my wife to start/use, too.

Quiet and easy to start

Please note! We got ours to run our 50 amp RV camper trailer when dry camping during deer season and are having issues with it revving up for no reason. We are still trying to figure out this issue but when speaking with Westinghouse customer service we were told this inverter may be too small for our camper - even though we are only running 30 amps, not the full 50. I do like the remote start and quiet running of the machine.

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.

Very Quite

I wanted to get as small and quite a generator that would provide power during emergencies for my home. I started up after a few attempts and it was very quite and for the power very maneuverable with the telescoping handle. Be careful adding the oil when setting up or you'll make a big mess. Go slow and check to see if it is emptying from fill plug so it doesn't overflow too much. I have not had the chance to use it to power anything yet, but turns on and all the functions seem to work so far. I'll have to put it through it's paces before the next power outage to make sure it handles the load I want it to.
