Very happy with it right out of the box. Product is solid, well built and ships with everything you need. I put Mobil 1 oil in instead of the oil it comes with and put in a NGK spark pug before starting it. It started immediately and ran like a charm. Hooked it to my travel trailer and ran it for about an hour with the AC and tv running. It purred like a kitten smooth and quiet.

I'm not trusting Texas power grid this year. Glad I decided to go with this larger size and put on a 30A back feed breaker. Powers entire house with all of the basics running; frig, gas furnace blower, lights, 75" TV/amp, computer, including a 1600W microwave that pushed temporary draw up 3200W. Eco mode drops RPM slightly and extends run time. Installed sliding interlock on electrical panel and moved breakers around a little. Plastic insulated shell keeps it relatively quiet. Runs at lower RPM versus smaller generators at higher more annoying RPM.

Like to research just about any big purchases in my life, and certainly did that with this generator. It seemed to hit all of the marks that I was looking for. Bought a new camper that required a bigger generator and this one hasn’t let me down yet. My initial run with this generator was 24 hours a day for five days consecutively. It never hesitated, it started every time after fueling, and so far this thing has lived up to my reviews.

So far after getting it ready to start the pool starts fine. Took two poles electric start/remote start doesn’t start hoping it’s just a low battery so I’m charging the battery overnight then we’ll see from there supposed to be an outrageous product. Did a lot of research hoping I don’t have any problems.

We purchased this just before Beryl hit the Houston area. We had borrowed an older open frame generator with the same output, which was our only experience with generators. This generator is so much more quiet! We couldn’t even tell that it was running from inside our house with the windows open. It was very easy to set up and get running with the push button start (and it also has a remote control start). It’s very helpful that it has a display that shows current usage so you know how much more you can add to the load. We plugged in lots of fans, charged basic electronics, a refrigerator, and lights, and we were only using half the load capacity. We also bought this particular generator knowing if we needed to increase our generator output, we can buy an identical one, connect them, and run them parallel to double output. Very happy so far with our purchase!

I bought this generator for a camping trip without power at the beach and it worked great. Nice and quiet with remote start and stop. Plan on taking with me on my summer camping trips and don’t have to worry about not having power or being to loud for people camping nearby.

So far so good generator is quiet has excellent features and was easy to set up . Generator started immediately and idles nice slight hunting at first but I am sure it will smoothe out after break in . Running ethanol free 93 as I do in all my power equipment , nice unit westinghouse thanks

Just unboxed it and it seems well built. I like the luggage style handle and wheels a lot. Definitely bigger than I anticipated but I’ve never had a portable generator before so don’t think it’s specific to this one. Haven’t actually turned it on yet so can’t comment on how it runs.

My review of the iGEN4500 is based on owning a Westinghouse WH2400i prior to this purchase. The iGEN4500 is roughly twice the size physically and in power. The iGEN4500 has more bells and whistles; electric and remote start, larger fuel tank, stronger engine, and carrying handle. Unfortunately, the iGEN4500 did not improve on the oil filler location. It is still troublesome to fill and not get oil inside the compartment. Access the internal on the iGEN4500 is better than the WH2400i. All is necessary is to unscrew some screws and you are in. I'm torn on gas consumption, though. I could get 14 hours on 1.4 gallons of gas with the WH2400i, but I get 22 hours on 3.4 gallons of gas with the iGEN4500. I really wanted the electric start so I was willing to accept the higher gas usage of the iGEN4500, or at least I think I do. Now, the most recognizable difference has been in sound (loudness). I believe both the iGEN4500 and WH2400i have the same decibel rating but to my ears the iGEN4500 is noticeably quieter. I really despise companies marketing generators as quiet and/or super quiet. It has to be as stupidest as calling power banks solar generators. Generators are not quiet, but I will say the iGEN4500 , compared to the WH2400i completely took me by surprise. In my book, there are two wins in the iGEN4500 column, electric start and less generator noise. Just like the WH2400i, I do not plan to put many hours on the unit. It will only see occasional use. But it is nice to know I can move the unit easily outdoor, run an extension cord to wherever my load is, go back indoors, and use the remote start key fob. It will be equally nice to barely hear the generator running from indoors. I hope this guy will give me troublefree operation just as the WH2400i during it reign.

i bought this igen4500 to power my travel trailer,after delivery and unpacking the instruction were easy to follow to set up gen for use. after starting the gen i let warm up then pluged my trailer to it and tested all electric on trailer it will run all at the same time i recommend this igen4500 to any one.
