Quiet & Powerful

We've done a lot of research on remote start inverter generators and this one is by far the best we've owned. Super quiet and plenty of power to run our camp (TV, coffee maker, water pump, stove blower, toaster, microwave etc). 3 year warranty is also unheard of. We've owned several Champion generators and glad we made the switch to Westinghouse igen4500!

Tough little generator

Delivery guy unloaded the box and brought it to my door, upside down. Unboxed it, and there was no damage. Went through the setup procedures, and the little gen fired right up and has been running great - powering a horse trailer living quarters with no issues. The little guy is extremely quiet, and has been quite miserly on using gas. I would definitely recommend this generator.

runs my whole camper with no worries

Fathers day trip. Set up camper as if off grid (had fathers house as reserve). Wife ran air conditioner ALL THE TIME. Unit ran 24 hours a day. Only cut it off to add gas. Then she was quick to start it from the camper remotely. Had no problems the whole 4 days we were there. Next time we both go out (boon docking) I'll Bring two 5 gal gas cans so I don't have to stress about making sure I have gas. All in all, I am very pleased with this unit. She ran everything she needed to while we were there. Now she has no excuse NOT to go off grid with me.

Looks like a nice unit

Have not actually run this unit but it seems like a great option for campers wanting to run AC. We purchased this unit as an upgrade from a couple of smaller 1800 running watt units. I like the fact that it has a 30 amp camper plug on the unit.

Junk and Poor Quality Control

I bought one of these new, and it has never started easily, and generally not at all. I did research troubeshooting videos, and the consensus is that Westinghouse for this model (iGen4500) had a starting/choking issue--but they have never fixed it. Once again (today) I needed a generator, and spend about a hour in the snow in 0 degree weather, trying to start the generator.

Great features and easy to use

Brought this for rv camper use, and found generator performed very good for loads it was given. Gas consumption was very good, generator was used three consecutive days. I'm sorry to say that the electric start stopped working after the first day which I will have to see how to apply for warranty. Pull start worked ok usually started within four pulls.

Powerful unit that I can load by myself

Bought this generator for the sound level and maneuverability. It weighs just under a hundred pounds and I can load and unload this without any help. Have no issues with the unit at all. Added oil & gas, connected the battery and started it up. Done.

Easy Start Up

I did a lot of research on this before buying it and I am so glad that it bought this unit. Instructions were incredibly easy to follow and the unit started on the first try. It’s been running for about an hour now and is incredibly quiet, easy to use and I’m very excited to have this. This is my first generator, I would highly recommend this brand and model is I think it will be a valuable asset for years to come.

Very Convenient Power

I bought a iGen4500 for my camper. Very convenient remote control!! Just turn off 110 volt main breaker, push the start button, wait a few minutes & turn the main breaker back on. That simple. Same for turning off. Turn off breaker & let the inverter cool off for a few minutes, then push the off button on the remote. All from inside the camper. Plenty of power to run everything. May not be enough for a 2 AC unit camper but very capable for my needs.

Solid Generator

Purchased generator for use with an IceCastle/RV where AC would not be available. No problems with the auto choke wire harness - it was properly seated. Engine break-in was a non-event. Minimal metal observed in oil changes. Oil drain plug is a little awkward to get to. It might be easier if the oil change access panel was larger. At around 100 lbs, it does not feel like a cheap, lightweight unit. Telescoping handle is a neat feature for moving the unit. The two handles on top seem to be solid when picking up the unit. During testing with the RV, this model was able to run all the appliances and air conditioner unit with ease. This unit is pretty quiet for a generator. You can carry on a conversation with the unit running close by. Very little change in noise when running at about a 55% load. I expect to get a long service life from this generator.
