iGEN4500

Did my research and read the reviews. Felt I was buying a quality generator and to this point all is well. Once I went through all the paperwork I started the break in process, everything works as it should so far. Very happy with my decision so far.

Great Generator for our House Boat!!

We bought this generator for our Houseboat and look forward to how quiet The IGen4500 is. We love the remote start as well. Super easy to use and start up. Runs great!!! Easy to follow instructions as well. I read a lot of reviews and narrowed it down to this one or the Honda and we are glad we chose the IGen4500!!!

Every feature I wanted in a generator

Received my igen4500 several days ago, product was packaged well and everything needed to start was included except gas of course. Instructions on startup was clear and easy. Generator seems to be constructed well and I love the handle, wheels, and especially the remote. The generator started on the second try, understandable because the carb had to fill with fuel. I was surprised at how quite this generator is. I definitely hope to get good service from this machine because I am impressed so far.

Love my iGen4500!

As expected, this iGen4500 is a powerhouse! Great output. Easy to operate. If you're having trouble starting it (turns over, but won't start), open the side panel and flip the choke, then try it. Don't forget to turn the choke back off after it starts.

Trying this again

We purchased this item this month,. We had bought another one and had to return it after only 21 hours of run time. We are hoping to have better luck with this one as far as anything else we would leave a review when we have had a chance to use it awhile in hopes that we don't have any problems.

Quiet and compact

I own a Honda EU7500 generator which I love but was looking for something smaller, so I thought to give Westinghouse a try. The price point is amazing for the quality and features. I live in California where every household almost requires a generator for weather or power shut-off events. It runs very quiet, similar to my Honda, maybe a little quieter. My only complaint so far is the accessibility and ease of changing the oil, which happens more often than you may think, every 50 hours. I understand in order to keep it compact all the parts are placed accordingly, but if you have big hands this will be a serious chore. When changing the oil and removing the oil plug I have had issues with only loosing and removing the plug itself. there is an 1 1/2 inch stem between the bottom of the engine block and the oil plug and it continuously is what unscrews instead of just the oil plug. I have not contacted Westinghouse to seek a resolve to this issue so Im unsure of the severity or remedy to this situation. Overall it seems to be a solid generator and I would recommend it for its quality and price.

Great features and performance

I did a lot of research before selecting the IGen4500 for use with my travel trailer. The first time I used it was in the mountains at an altitude of 8,500 feet. It ran great without any problems at this higher altitude. I am so happy and very satisfied with this generator. I highly recommend it!

Starts easy!!

Was just delivered today. Only took a few minutes to set up and started up right away. Got this due to having remote and push button start for my disabled wife. Love the remote. Only recommendation is maybe make the oil funnel threaded for the oil bottle also.

Great so far

This igen4500 is working great so far. Everything was packaged well and is very easy to set up. The only problem I had was the cable for the automatic choke was not plugged in so after I fixed that everything is working as it should. It’s not as quit as a Honda but for half the price the few db’s louder it is it’s worth it

Easy setup and startup

I just bought this and the setup and startup was easy. It started right up. I tested it on our camper and power tools. Ran great with plenty of power. I bought this unit because of the good reviews, price and how quiet it was supposed to be. It was all of that. Can't wait to take it out camping
