Fair rating

When I purchased the product it did not come with the item listed in the manual so I called and they were shipped to me. The plastic exterior all cracked and we were sent the pieces but due to the construction it took an experienced mechanically inclined person over 3 hours to replace. We did an oil change at the same time and 1 month later after running it roughly 14 hours it stops running. Just about 1 year to the date of original purchase. This is too much maintenance. Pros are it is very quiet when it ran and used very little gas.

Quiet and Easy

I bought this based on 4500/3700 watt capacity to run my 15000 BTU AC in RV, and still have a little headroom for other items. First I broke it in a little then ran two hair dryers at 3100 watts with no problem, so I’m confident it will do the job. And it’s really quiet when idling or low load. Today I showed my wife how to operate in case I’m not around in power outage so she can keep the refrigerators running., The electric start, and remote start make that easy.

Great Generator for my MinniWinnie

Bought the iGen4500 to run my MinnieWinnie, to help power equipment for local music Festivle Equipment and back up for power outage. Have utilzed the first two reasons and been well pleased. Runs quiet, easy to operate and move. The wheels and telescoping handle make loading and moving doable.

Compact but powerful

I bought this generator to use for my travel trailer. I like that this generator is small enough to travel with but provided enough power to run everything I need in the trailer. It has nice handles to lift it into the truck and the wheels make it nice to move it around. The remote start makes it nice to start up without having to go outside!

Well worth the price

I received the generator in perfect shape, hooked up battery, added oil that came with machine and filled with gas. Very easy setup! Easy to follow instructions. Turned on battery and fuel switch, Then simply pushed start. Unit started and ran perfect on first try. I would recommend this generator to anyone who needs dependable portable power

Works, but problems with choke

This generator works fine after it's started, but starting right now is a pain. The electronic choke has not worked since new and it doesn't appear that anything came unplugged as in the service advisory I'll be taking it in for service under warranty shortly and am hoping that will fix the problem. Also it's not quite as quiet as I hoped it would be, my igen2200 seems quieter even though they are rated the same.

Excellent Generator

I've only put 6 hours on my generator but it has worked flawlessly. It's a perfect fit for the generator tray on the front of my toy hauler. Packed with features and simple to operate. I will mention that, while it's very quiet in eco-mode with no load, the noise level increases considerably with a heavy load as the engine revs to meet demand.

Very Quiet and Started Easily

I purchased this on Amazon.com and it was delivered in two days. After adding the oil, fuel and connecting the battery it started on the first try. It is very quiet for a gasoline engine and in Eco mode it is as quiet as a house fan. The generator comes with everything except gasoline.

OverAll an Excellent Generator ... But ....

When I unboxed and setup the Gen it wouldn't start. I researched and found that it was a common problem with this Gen. One of the cables was NOT plugged in. Westinghouse needs to do better QUALITY CONTROL. They have an Excellent Product but the People Assembling it are lacking.

quiet, powerful, ease of use, electric start

bought this to power my rv and impressed with the power and the ease of use. Straight out of the box did the first time prep work to run and this started on the 4th pull, plugged in some electric heaters to create a current draw, handled all of this beautifully, went inside and couldn't even hear this generator running. love the electric start and remote start
