Reliable and quiet.

I have owned my Westinghouse oven 4500 for a few years and it was worked flawlessly. It provides the power I need at a quiet level. Also the remote start is extremely nice and it makes my camping neighbors jealous lol. Thanks for making a great product.

Needs bigger wheels.

After years of owning a smaller inv/gen, we decided to upgrade. Based on several weeks of comparison shopping, we decided on the Westinghouse iGen 4500, and am very pleased. With more power and quieter operation than many others, this is the machine for me. The only downfall are the relatively small wheels (The ruts and roots in the northwoods are sometimes more than the wheels can handle).

The Freedom of the power!

I am a liveaboard on my sailboat, in the Keys for almost a decade now. Having a running and efficient quiet generator is primordial in complement to wind generator and solar panels. Did I tell you, I am a woman? Now you know, and this fabulous iGen4500 with electrical starter and fobe is the nec plus ultra! Eating chocolate ice cream while working on a laptop, is easy breezy. Westinghouse has definitely some wind in its sails.

Quiet running

I bought this April 23. 2022 and the set up was super easy . Even included the oil and a funnel. The best part was the remote. I stood 50 feet area around the cornor of my concrete house to test it and it still worked. Its queit and has many features. It even included a battery charger so that stays charged if you dont use the genrator for a while. My only disappoimtment is that the charger I recieved you have to remember to only charge it once a month and if you leave it on by mistake it could fry the battery. I am working to get a diffrent charger from customer service and at least they are responding so we shall see. But its a minor issure even if frustrating in a otherwise everthing I was looking for in a generator.

Automatic choke

When up around 7500 feet the automatic choke puts out toon much fuel and the unit will not start. I have to remove cover and manually adjust the choke to get it to start. The manual adjustment means the remote start does not work. I am hoping tech support has a solution which retains the remote start function.

Had to fix some things out of the box

Put oil and gas in, started right up. Gas gauge did not function out of the box, fuel float sensor was hung up. First day camping with it, lost spark and would not run at all, checked wiring to the coil and found a faulty factory connection. Fixed the plug and all has been well since. A little disappointed it needed work right away for how much I paid for it but overall pretty happy with it.

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.

Excellent features, packaged nicely!

I am excited to try out this new inverter generator. Right now we have been using a regular generator and cannot use it for extended periods because it's so loud. I love the fact that it has push start option, and on off remote fob. The eco feature is awesome, too.

The xtra power I needed.

Just rec'd today....followed the ez setup, filled with oil, fuel, and connected battery that was fully charged. followed the startup procedure and....as advertised, fired right up, quiet, etc. I am breaking it in with eco on and off with no load. This is replacing a previous smaller output rv ready gen.

Quiet and powerful

I bought this to run our travel trailer while tail gating. It had plenty of power to run the AC (30 AMP) and many other devices. Very satisfied with the noise level and really like the indicator on time remaining based on power usage and gas amount.
