Lightweight and Quiet

This generator is lightweight and powerful. It's light enough that my girlfriend and I are able to lift it into the back of my truck without a struggle. It powers our camper when we're out in the woods but doesn't disturb any nearby neighbors with obnoxious noise. Overall, im happy with this purchase and think it was well worth it.

Perfect match for my rv needs

I have been looking for a generator to power our 38 foot 5th wheel for off grid camping. After a lot of research and reading reviews we decided on the Westinghouse IGen 4500. We ordered on 8/11/2020 and it arrived today 8/19/2020. The box was beat up a little during shipment but the generator was well packed and had no issues. After reading the instruction manual I connected the battery, added the supplied oil and filled the fuel tank with gas. After a few attempts to start it with the electric start it fired right up. I initially plugged in a heat gun and everything worked as it should. I then plugged in our camper to the 30 amp receptical and gave the machine the real test. It had no problem running the AC, refrigerator and microwave with plenty of power left over. The amazing part is just how quiet this thing is. It has certainly beat my expectations and we look forward to many omg the grid camping trips in the near future...Bottom line, this is a great generator with plenty of power.

Excellent Generator!!!

Just received my Westinghouse iGen4500. Fired up on first start with the remote start. Super guiet compared to other generators I've owned. The telescoping pull handle makes it really easy to move around. I would definitely recommend this generator to anyone!

Excellent generator for a great price!

Ordered this generator on 10/22 and finally received it on 11/8, but I wasn't in a hurry for it either. I also ordered the high altitude kit from Westinghouse and got it before the generator, I removed side panels and checked to make sure my choke stepper motor was plugged in and it was secured with a zip tie. I then removed the battery and made sure it was topped off with a trickle charger. Then pulled the carb off and installed the proper jet for my altitude, and a new NKG iridium spark plug, (oil too) put everything back together, installed the battery after sitting on the charger all night put some gas in it and she fired right up and purred like a kitten, let it run for a couple of minutes and shut the gas off and let it shut down that way. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and know I have a reliable generator for a fraction of the money.

Quiet and Fuel Efficiency as advertised.

I just received the generator. I was pleased to see the first bottle of oil came with it. Very impressed that it included a special funnel to fill oil and a spark plug wrench. I wondered why there wasn't a 10mm wrench to remove the oil drain plug! Extremely easy starting with the pull cord. I plugged in the travel trailer and ran the AC and refrigerator. It showed between 25 - 50% power load and it ran for 14 hours like advertised. Very quiet. It is a perfect camping generator. The pull handle is genius. However, that makes it very portable. Wonder if they could add a security ring attached to the frame so it can be locked down. Only 4 stars because the gas gauge and all the gas-related information does not work. I was going to review after the warranty was honored but I can't do that until I register for the warranty and I don't get my registration gift if I don't leave a review.

Perfect Size and Very Quiet

I bought this as a replacement for another generator that was stolen. The other one was so loud I almost hated to use it since it disturbed other campers. This unit is extremely quiet. I have not used it with my RV yet, but look forward to being able to use it without disturbing everyone else.

Very impressed.

This is a high quality generator. I'm a Honda fan, but this Westinghouse generator is easily as good (maybe better) than the competition. The engineering of the design is top notch. You can tell that this was not just quickly created to sell another product. This inverter generator was designed for ease of use and ease of maintenance. Even the funnel that they provide to fill the oil is unique and makes the job easy. After adding the oil, the generator easily started on the first pull (it also has electric start and remote start). We are very happy with this inverter generator.

Nice features, but choke problem is a bummer!

I purchased for the high power rating and the remote start. Unfortunately reviews I saw talked about a choke problem. Turns out I have the issue as well. The "auto" choke function for the electric start does not work. So you have to open up the engine panel and manually choke in order to start. This defeats the purpose of a remote start. I like the quietness and hope the high power rating will run my RV A/C unit well.

Nice generator

Just purchased, shipping turned out good, was a little worried got to me late. Tracking through ups showed it was almost to me but went back to where it shipped from so it was handled a lot but showed up in good shape. After reading other reviews was a little worried about the first start up, it didn’t start on first try but after a little messing around fired up, I noticed if I hold the start button down for a bit the little green light starts to blink then release the start button tap the button again and it started right up, worked that way with the remote also, not sure why? Love the options especially the remote start it’s new home is in my pull behind camper. It may be a Little noisier than the Onan 4000 that the camper came with but couldn’t justify the money to repair or replace the onan.

Small but migjty

We have truly enjoyed this generator to cool and supplied lighting to our Ministries mobile closet. We have had it a few days over one year and Now that it’s out of warranty, we are having issues. Hoping that it is something minor so we can get our ministry closet back on the road.
