Too new to rate

Westinghouse was so anxious to get a review that they automatically triggered this review at the end of the Warranty Registration process. I have not put oil or gas in it yet. I’m currently reading the owner’s manual. I do like the large carrying handles the transport wheels and the extendable handle. At approximately 100 lbs we can carry it easily where the wheels won’t roll.

Good so far

Using it for my camper for occasional boondocking as well as for occasional work where no power is available or during power outages at home. So far runs my 15K BTU A/C with no problem at 50% load, noise is about what I expected. Only had it for a day but it will be used heavily this coming weekend at a NASCAR race. The fit and finish of the plastic panels does not seem to be very good but that is minor as long as there are no other issues.

1st generator

Purchased this because of living along the coast in SC. Had several power outages each of the last 3 years due to storms. Figured I would protect myself next time. Generator came within 4 days. Easy set up. Filled with supplied oil. Fueled up and connected the battery. Turned on the battery switch and fuel knob. Used the start button on the unit and it fired right up once it got gas. Shut off and started with the remote. Again it fired right up. This thing is very quiet with no load. I’m sure once there is a load it will be a little louder but can’t be much. Very pleased so far. Will be ready for the next power outage.

Great Generator!

Purchased this generator a few weeks ago. It was easy to get running out of the box and fired up right away. I finally had the chance to hook it up to my camper, and it ran everything great. Plenty of power to run my A/C unit, microwave and TV at the same time. The nice thing about this generator is the built in 30amp plug in for your camper, along with the electric start and remote start. I was able to start up the generator with the remote start from inside my camper, which is a nice feature to have. Also, for its size (4500Watt) its a light generator (98lbs) which makes it convenient to load and unload in the back of my truck. Glad I purchased this generator and would recommend it to others.

saved us

Had it for awhile never needed it. Then one night in our 5th wheel the park lost power. This baby fired right up and we had power all night and the next day with hardly using any gas. This was in the middle of Texas summer so AC are a must. We love this generator so much now. You never need one until you do. Oh and super quiet.

Very pleased

Received by FedEx when promised, great condition. Went over instruction sheet. Added oil, fuel and hooked up the battery. Pushed the start button and started right up. This is a quality piece of equipment. Well made, easy to use, plenty of power and the noise level is fantastic. What more could you ask for.

Very quiet easy start

I got the generator for camping so being quiet was important, got the unit ready and it started with one pull. I pull started to see how easy it would start. Just ran it for about an hour today and plugged in a small air compressor and it did not phase it at all. Great product so far.

Outstanding Quite Generator

I purchased this inverter generator to supplement my red 2000i inverter because it just doesn't have the muscle we needed as full-time RV'ers. I am happily surprised by this generator. It is just as quiet as my previous inverter and has more than twice the starting power. I followed the Quick Start Guide to the letter and it was easy, no issues, and the iGen4500 ran on the very first try with the remote fob in less than 10 minutes from unboxing. I completed the 20-hour oil change and it had only minor signs of metal or debris in the oil. I have not had it loaded past 40% but when connected, my multimeter indicates a stable 121 VAC and the engine seems to get less loud the more it runs. I really love the remote start and the value of this unit is excellent. It arrived in perfect condition and is exactly what I expected based on my research. This is not a small generator. It is easily over 115 pounds with fuel in the tank, so understand your limits in this regard. The collapsible handle and wheels make rolling it into place an easy task. The size of this inverter makes lifting it into the bumper mounted tray a task for two normal folks or one very strong person. It will easily start my 13.5K air conditioner and run normal items such as the battery charger/converter, the coffee pot or even our air fryer, but everything has a limit and you should still be careful loading this genset at a safe level in it's recommended range.

Perfect for my need!!

I purchased this generator for my new truck camper. I have owned several generators in my life but this one is by far the quietest and most economical to operate. It is small but powerful and only weighs 100 LBs so it easy to move around with the telescopic handle and wheels. If your needs equeal 4500 peak watts this is the geenerator for you.

Great Generator out of the box

The generator arrived today in a well packaged box, good packing material and all componets in good working order. Setup was very easy and generator started on the second pull. Battery charged overnight with supplied charger and it starts easily with push button or remote phob. Gen runs very quiet and I like the information panel. We will see how it does on its first real full use on a camping trip. All in all to this point I am happy witht he purchase.
