Received this generator as a gift during Hurricane Helene. We were without power for eleven days. I powered only what was necessary: refrigerator, radio, lamp and coffee maker. I rested the generator during the night for 6 hours. On approximately 3 1/2 gallons of fuel and economy setting, I could go for nearly 20 hours of run time. Wonderfully quiet unit. Never missed a beat.

This machine seems well thought out. the most notable thing so far is an owners manual written in the language I speak with alot of detail. I put in oil, gas and plugged in the battery and it quickly fired up. the only issue that I could see is that the access doors for oil and the battery are a bit small for larger hands. I like the fact that the outlets are well protected from the weather.

After watching plenty of reviews on inverter generators, the Igen4500 was able to check all the boxes. I had bought this unit to power our 28ft. travel trailer without having to worry about the need for a second generator to have enough power. It's hefty (just under 100lbs) but can definitely get the job done, oh, and it's quiet too.

After months of research, including a spreadsheet, the Westinghouse igen4500 became my first choice. Obviously, the 4500 watts in an inverter generator is a huge selling point for everyone. It is for me too, but what really separates this unit from the competition is the QUIET 52dB operating volume. I really have issues with loud noises, so this sold me the most. I say the most because there are so many other great things this unit has that make the competition look bad. Remote start, gas gauge, very high end control panel, very efficient operation, telescoping handle, etc... As soon as this generator went on sale I grabbed mine. I’ve only set it up and run it for a few minutes so far, but everything works great and sounds Quiet.

Purchased this for my RV to run A/C and Microwave etc. Set up was easy. Started up right away. Ran initial oil for one hour unloaded then changed. Oil was surprisingly dirty and had metal bits. Ran another hour and changed again. Oil looked better. Ran third under 25% load for 20 min. Oil again somewhat dirty but much less metal bits. Seems to run well, has nice features. My only complaints so far are that the cover edges are too sharp and will cut you if you're not careful. also the fit and finish is somewhat sloppy...covers don't line up great and they rattle when running, and the rubber on top comes off if you brush up against it. Time will tell how it will hold up but I am hopeful. Would recommend so far.

The iGen4500 is very easy to set up right out of the box. It started right up and runs very quiet. Ours will be used for RVing and I am sure our neighbors will appreciate the low hum of this generator. Maintenance seems very easy and it is easy to maneuver with the telescoping handle and never flat wheels.

Bought this about a week ago and so far, really great. Starts right up, runs very quiet and has the power needed. Only issue is changing the oil could be a little less messy. Should have a funnel system going to the hole. Other than that couldn't be more pleased. Time will tell!

I just got my generator and did my test runs on it. The machine is extremely quiet for the size of it and surprisingly light. It handled a shop vac and a hair dryer no issues bringing the usage up to 2.6 kw. 2 pushes of the electric start initially fired it right up! I am looking forward to powering my 15000 but trailer AC this summer with it!

I bought this recently, I have a small Quiet Honda inverter/generator but needed a bit more oomph. This iGen4500 fit the bill to a T and the remote on/off and auto choke is something I couldn’t find in similar quiet inverter/generator. I like that it also comes with a set of tools along with an oil funnel. Also nice and quiet, thanks for the great features!

The Good - This unit is ultra quiet! Long runtime. Love the display! The Bad - My unit arrived with scratches all over the plastic housing due to handling. The Ugly - Oil changes are difficult due to the location of the oil drain plug. Westinghouse can improve this by making the oil change door opening larger.
