Great all around generator

This is the perfect generator for my 25' travel trailer. The slide out handle makes it super easy to maneuver, and it is still light enough to lift in and out of the pickup truck. It was surprisingly quiet as well. Definitely will recommend this generator to friends and family!

4500 igen inverter

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.

Exactly what I expected after much research

Bought this recently and am very satisfied with it. Although I cannot comment on longevity, I see no reason why it wouldn't last for years with regular usage if maintained well. It is VERY quiet. Preparation for first time usage is simple. Instructions in operators manual are very fragmented with an overkill of warnings about "don't do this or you may die" but if you are able to read thru this, all of the important information is there. Instructions for first time use include adding .6 L (the total capacity of engine oil) of 10w-30 motor oil. The oil provided is in a .6 L bottle and instructions say to pour entire bottle into oil fill reservoir. Makes sense, except when I did this, it over-filled the reservoir a bit and oil overflowed, which I had to quickly take care of. I'm assuming this is because of residual oil used for testing at the factory that was not entirely drained before shipping. Also, the serial number of this machine is nowhere to be found ON THE MACHINE. It is a sticker on the outside of the box. I spent some time searching for this by removing panels off the machine only to find nothing, and to resort to searching the website for "location of serial number". Overall - GREAT generator and I'd buy again. Highly recommended.

Quiet running

I bought this April 23. 2022 and the set up was super easy . Even included the oil and a funnel. The best part was the remote. I stood 50 feet area around the cornor of my concrete house to test it and it still worked. Its queit and has many features. It even included a battery charger so that stays charged if you dont use the genrator for a while. My only disappoimtment is that the charger I recieved you have to remember to only charge it once a month and if you leave it on by mistake it could fry the battery. I am working to get a diffrent charger from customer service and at least they are responding so we shall see. But its a minor issure even if frustrating in a otherwise everthing I was looking for in a generator.

Great generator

We purchased this to use with our camper. We are running a 13.5k btu A/C, 11 CF 12v fridge, and a small microwave. With all of these items active (no lights or fans), the generator handled them to 75% capacity. I was impressed. I only wish it was just a little bit quieter. My buddy has a champion and his is 1000 watts larger and it is a little quieter than ours. Overall, very happy with the purchase!

Great Features

I just bought this less than two weeks ago to use with our Rv Started it up with no problem. Couldn’t believe my ears because of the quietness compared to my generac I have been using. Looking for a quiet generator to boondock, look no further. Used 4 stars because haven’t taken it camping yet and haven’t had enough time to know how well it holds up. And this

Great for backup power

I purchased this unit to power my camper, but the day it arrived we had an ice storm and the power went out. I poured in the oil it came with, some gas I had laying around and fired it up. I ran extension cords into the house to power my coal stove, fridge and tv.

Powerful Generator

Purchased this generator to power the Rockwood UltraLite 28 ft 5th wheel with two A/C units. In the test of the Generator, I found that the generator performed outstanding. Connected to the generator with an RV 30A to RV 50A cable. Fired it up and started the testing. It powered one A/C unit and the microwave, but the dual A/C being turned on at the same time caused the circuit breaker on the generator to POP! Understanding since it will exceed the generator's ratings. Did find it really quiet and even when demand was high, you could still have a conversation within feet of the device without shouting, or talking loud. Ran the A/C, Microwave, and other in house electrical items without any power outages. the fuel useage was really remarkable. It said 18hrs on 25% demand. With all that was connected and running, I found the generator fuel level lasted more than i would have thought. Would I purchase this generator again, Yes without any reservations. If you need a powerful little generator that does a great job, maintains economy, and is ready to power your RV, this is it.
