Received this a few days ago, just fired it up for the first time. Worked out of the box after adding oil, gas, and connecting the quick connect battery connection. No problems at all. Love that it has a gas gauge, as well as tells you an estimate of how many hours are left based on the gas currently in the tank. Legal in California, However for some reason Amazon would not ship to my house, but Home Depot would. Same price online at both Amazon and Home Depot, $949 plus tax. Comes with everything you need to get it running, except for gas. Couple things to keep in mind: 1) Do not just dump the full 0.6 quart container of oil in, I found it only takes about 0.5 quarts. 2) Some of the directions incorrectly say you need to hook up the negative terminal of the battery, but that is not the case, you only need to connect the quick-connect battery connector. It's super easy to get running. I find it does run a little louder than I thought it would, but with this much power it's probably the best that can be done.

After the freeze that we underwent here in Texas I decided this would be cheap insurance. Since I am on Nat. gas it will power both my furnaces and keep the pipes from freezing. Many people are still recovering from this nightmare almost 1 year later. The iGen 4500 is quiet and supplies all the power I need.

The generator is SUPER QUIET! Set-up was very easy too! Pulled it out of the box, connected the battery, added the oil and gas and it started right up using the electric start. Tested remote control and that worked perfectly as well. Hoping this will last us years for our camping trips.

Just finished our first boondocking camp trip with our tent trailer. Worked great to recharge the house batteries and run string lights throughout our camp. Fired right up with all three starting options. Is quieter than open frame generator but wish it was still quieter like the "red one's." This is my first generator and it is likely way overkill for my camping needs but figure we can grow into it and great for house back up.

I was on the fence first and was unable to decide if I should buy two small or one large generator to power my RV. I was weighing between weight, portability, and power. This model i4500 from westinghouse solves all my purposes. I am able to lift this myself on my pickup truck, and it can take care of all the power needs. And the best part is the remote start. I don't have to get out to start or stop it. I love this!

We have been researching portable generators for years for various reasons. When my wife found this one it looked like it has all the features we need. - Attractive compact package - Inverter - easy to transport and move - quiet - plenty of power for our purposes - Seems well built - electric (and remote) start - we're in our 80s

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!

We have been using two 2000 parallel units and look forward to using only one 4500 inverter generator. We wanted a remote start/stop. Arrived in timely manner. Removed engine service cover and unable to resecure one cover screw, but others held. Like the idea of using parallel-operation with a variety of other Westinghouse inverter generators.

Bought two of the iGen 4500 generators and a 50amp parallel attachment to power all of my 5th wheeler needs and more. These units fired right up after adding oil, attaching battery and gas! The sound level is better than what I was anticipating which makes me and my neighbors very happy. The remote start is a must! Very happy with my purchase.

What’s not to like about this generator, light enough to lift myself and easy as rolling a suitcase to move around. Right out of the box I followed the simple instructions, added oil that was included, connected the battery terminal, added gas and turned on the fuel valve. I flipped on the power switch and pressed the button and it started right up. After following the breaking instructions I used this generator for six hours straight without a hitch. With this handy backup my problems are solved and I can use it around the ranch for a number of odd jobs. The remote start is an amazing feature as well. Update: I’ve now used this generator several times and it is a pleasure to use, easily handles a full 30amp load in my living quarters horse trailer. I highly recommend this product.
