After weeks of research, I purchased the igen4500. I had read about various issues associated with the choke and upside down 30amp plug. Both of these issues appear to have been resolved in the manufacturing process as neither materialized on my unit. Added oil and fuel, started up straight away. 2 days later I ran it for 24 hrs in 40 degree, humid conditions without issue. Fully satisfied.

Just unboxed it and did the start up of the generator to test it out with my trailer. It works great and is quiet. Only thing I had a problem with was the gave me the “exact” amount of oil so I poured it all in. Now I have a oil puddle on my driveway because it overfilled it so be prepared and have rags available or fill slowly and check as you go.

It arrived on the UPS truck without any defects. After reading the directions (including adding engine oil) it fired up on the first pull. It is a lot of generator for the money. I love the big fuel tank, it lets us sleep all night in our RV without having to refuel when boondocking.

Bought for my fifth wheel camping trailer. Easy to move around with built in retractable handle. Also has good grips to lift into truck. Well built and easy to set up. No prime required after fueling. Started right up with key fob electric start. Great price with many features. More than enough power to run the single AC unit and other items while camping.

I tried the Champion dual fuel on my RV with a 15K AC unit. It wouldn`t run the AC and shut off. I tried the Igen4500 and it had no problem at all powering the camper with AC, TV, and refrigerator on. My only issue is it will not run my porter cable vertical portable air compressor. Its just a 120 volt 15 amp load. The Igen4500 struggles to get it started and then goes into protection. I will try an adapter on the 30 amp plug to see if that helps.

Bought this 4- 6 months ago and the electric and remote start are great features to have. A couple of challenges... I would like to see an easier way to drain oil, and an easier access panel to fuel bowl drain and choke assembly would be great as the electric choke failed on my particular unit; waiting to see what level of service Westinghouse will provide to correct the choke issue.

I just got the initial set up completed and I am very pleased with the included accessories. A funnel, tool kit and the engine oil. Just had to add gas. The unit seems to have some stress marks in the plastic and it does make an “unusual” rattle under load. I am boing the break in time now and I’ll see if anything changes. Slightly louder than I expected but not a deal killer. I love the electric/remote start.

We are using this on a 1974 40 ft Boatel Houseboat. It has enough juice for the AC, Fridge and even the 20 gallon water heater. When strapped to the swim platform you barely notice it running. I had one issue thus far where it would not start. I had to remove the maintenance panel and two 8mm hex screws to get another cover off of an air cleaner to get at the carburetor and manually flip the butterfly open on the automatic choke. Since then it has been fine. The battery and oil service doors fall of fairly easily when the machine is jarred where they simply do not fit tight enough. It's my opinion they should be tethered somehow. I called customer service to ask what if any protection the igen 4500 has in a case of overheating. They said they would look into it and call me right back with an answer. Six days since and still no call. I also received notice in the box that if I filled out this review I would get a free cover which I'll desperately need but after the fact I find out that they are completely out and sorry. I'll stick with it but at this point its a low 3 rating range. I would recommend it to a friend because of the great power at such low decibels - but caution them to beware.

Tested this unit on my RV and all was great. After a few hours boondocking with the RV, it would not idle down in econo mode, ran very rough, was loud and used a LOT of gas. Minimized use for the rest of the trip and checked it when home. Found a wiring connection slightly loose (not the one in a Youtube video) and it seems OK now.

Hurricane Isais took our power and I was committed to purchasing a generator before the next storm. I thoroughly research and knew I wanted an inverter generator. The Westinghouse IGen4500 was the largest resonably prices one on the market. It has exceeded my expectations!
