Got the oil added and connector prepared as required to connect to my “off the grid” cabin. It started right up and powered everything as expected. Noise level seems the same as my older Honda ES3000i inverter which this unit is replacing. Remote start works flawlessly. After 8 hours of operation I am very pleased with this unit!

I haven't had prolonged use, but so far so good! I conditioned it with a couple of oil changes, and the unit seems great! I only rated 4 stars because I have not had a chance to use it for a prolonged period. I ran it next to my Honda 2000i and it seemed slightly more quiet than the Honda! Overall, so far, happy with the purchase.

I bought my 4500 inverter last November. Pretty happy with it so far. I wish I would have bought the inverter that would accept gas or gas. My sourness towards Westinghouse is the cover they give you if you fill in a feedback request. Which I did. And, if you did fill this out they would give you a cover for your generator for FREE! The problem is, it doesn’t fit over your generator. They say it’s “ snug”! It doesn’t fit! They will send you a link of where to buy one that does fit…. How funny is that? Not a big deal for me! I just hate the false promises.

I bought this generator for my 35 foot travel trailer to run my appliances and air conditioner. With a full load of the trailer (everything on and running with a 13.5 KBTU air conditioner) the generator was running at a 75% load. Price point is excellent, you would have to spend twice as much for a Honda product with less afeatures. While running the air conditioning inside the trailer, I could not hear the generator and it was ten feet behind our trailer. Remote start is an,excellent feature but took three tries to start after sitting overnight. Prior to purchase I read several reviews and only 25 percent were negative, which helped me make my decision. After putting gas and oil in it straight out of the box it started right up. Overall pleased with product.

Just got it yesterday 9-8-2020. Added the oil , hooked up battery and it didn’t even take 5 seconds to start and it is so smooth, I have a smaller general iq 2000 which is very quiet I don’t have a decibel meter but I can’t tell the noise difference and the Westinghouse is more than twice the power, awesome.

Bought this iGen4500 for backup power at home during outages. Very easy setup and a nice, compact size. Easy to move with the wheels and handle. Always starts easily with the punch of a button, and the remote is a nice feature. Will not power the whole house, but plenty of power to keep the essentials running during an outage. Very happy to have made this purchase.

But was leaking fuel at started up... customer service responded quickly and now waiting on parts Hope this does resolve the problem... very quiet and definitely enough power to run my travel trailer.. providing the leak get resolve it sounds like a solid running engine... but time will tell

I purchased this generator several months ago and have used it enough at this point to be very pleased with its performance. I use it for home backup on power failures, and for my travel trailer (where it powers a Central A/C unit). I put it on a Durhand motorcycle lift, so I can wheel it around and raise it to the backup of my pickup truck with ease (I'm 75, it's a bit heavy for me to lift). Electric start has worked flawlessly, and I appreciate the large capacity tank.

This generator checked all the boxes for me including wireless starting, quiet, large fuel tank. Because of my extensive research I was well aware of the problem with the auto choke. Since I am capable of fixing it, I went ahead and bought it. Mine did have the problem with the disconnected auto choke wire as well as my connector was broke. After I fixed the connector the generator ran fine. I did the proper break in which includes installing a magnetic oil dipstick and running the generator under various loads drain oil and repeat. The pictures below show the metal particles that were collected by the magnetic dipstick during the break in. Look forward to many years of service.

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
