Easy to use

We bought this to use when no power is available while camping with our trailer. Living in Arizona, we wanted to be able to run the 30-amp AC in the trailer for comfort. On our first outing, the generator stopped once and indicated an elevated CO level. It was outside, and not close to the trailer. After a cooling off period, we started it again, and had no problems. We were at 7700 feet elevation, so we will look into purchasing the high-altitude kit that is available, in case it may be useful for future outings. Overall, we are happy with the generator. An additional positive find is that it fits in the back of our pickup which has a folding cover over the truck bed. The cover is able to latch, so the compact size is great.

Just what we needed!

We purchased this to power our travel trailer and to take boon docking. The best feature is the remote start! It worked wonderfully when we used it with our trailer. Everything worked as stated and it couldn't have been easier to start and operate! And the noise level is very doable, no complaints from any neighbors! Very happy with this product:)

Great unit!

Just pulled the unit out of the box, put everything together, put some fuel in and it fired right up.. no problems at all. I hooked it up to my travel trailer and performs well, this generator has plenty of power and is quiet in comparison to many other generators.

Solid engineering but...

Seems like a solid, well-designed product with excellent data displays to keep you aware of operating characteristics. Good instructions. Well packed. But as I was setting it up, it felt a bit flimsy. For example, bolts were missing in a couple of crucial places, and the plastic housing seemed flimsy. Didn't want to complete the setup until the missing bolts were replaced.

IGEN4500

We ordered this generator to use at Talladega. It is awesome. We had the AC on and I used the microwave with no problems. Love the key fob! I was impressed to have the handle for easy moving.The front panel is all digital! It is worth the price you pay for it.

Great Features

Just bought this generator and love the features on it. It was between the Champion or this one. The igen4500 has the features like fuel shut off, and a battery charger to maintain the battery. I'm doing through the break in period, hope it last me a long time.

iGen4500 great features perfect for my needs

Bought the iGen 4500 to use with our RV perfect size to run everything I need on the Rv while traveling and boondocking. Arrived by ups in good condition and was easy to add the oil, connecting the battery wiring was easy just plug wires together. After adding oil and before adding fuel used the cord to rotate the engine over several times to ensure engine had good lubrication throughout before starting. Added gasoline and started using electric start button, started right up. Ran for a few minutes shut off and started with FOB and again started right up. Plugged into RV and turned on microwave and had 25% power loading turned on air conditioner and no issues all works as expected. The FOB remote start is great, my wife can start and stop as she needs from inside RV. Quiet enough. No issues to complain about here so far great addition to our RVing.

Great features, well, priced, nicely package, exce

The generator was deliveredtimely and in great condition. Everything appears to be in working order, although I haven’t owned it very long. Time will tell. I purchased this generator over others, because I add value to the Westinghouse brand. So far, they haven’t disappointed me.

Don’t waste your money

This is the worst generator. I have had nothing but problems right after I got it. All I do is run a few lights and it can’t even handle that. The battery has never held a good charge. I have to either plug it in to charge it before I use it or either I have to jump it off and it always sounds like it’s running out of gas and acts like its stalling out and it eventually does. Most the time I have to use the cord to start it and if I’m lucky it’ll start after two or three times of pulling it but in most cases it takes more than that. The odling on it constantly is going up-and-down up-and-down up-and-down and nothing else has been plugged into it or nothing has been unplugged from it. It constantly does it until it finally goes dead. I would not recommend this algae and 4500 propane or gas to anyone. I will never buy another generator that has Westinghouse on it. And the sad thing is I haven’t even had it a year yet. Piece of junk.

Best Bang for the Buck!

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.
