Just opened it, added oil and fuel, plugged in battery, turned fuel lever and start rocker switch to on, pressed remote to start... VOILA! PERFECT...! Literally, less than ten minutes after un-boxing it I had a perfectly running generator that is QUIET! So excited... thank you W-house

Has many good features and a full 30 amps of running power. Love the led readout of fuel, power used and run time left. It is very quiet. The product manual is dated and images are of an earlier model. Also, when filling the oil they say to use the whole bottle. That overfilled mine and made a mess. Guess some may have been left in at the factory. Other than that everything is good. Time will tell on endurance.

Just purchased this iGen4500 generator to provide essential power for our unexpected power outages from hurricanes, freeze outages, and construction. Also plan to do a lot of back woods camping and remote location work and feel sure that this generator will do the job. Very glad to have this ready to go..

Using it for my camper for occasional boondocking as well as for occasional work where no power is available or during power outages at home. So far runs my 15K BTU A/C with no problem at 50% load, noise is about what I expected. Only had it for a day but it will be used heavily this coming weekend at a NASCAR race. The fit and finish of the plastic panels does not seem to be very good but that is minor as long as there are no other issues.

Bought this earlier this week and started the recommended break-in period this evening. Easy to prepare to run, easy to change the oil. Started 1st pull. Remote worked 1st try from 25 feet. Push button start worked as advertised. Oil change at 1 hour of only normal idle/no load; had some noticeable silver metal shavings. I will run a second hour at idle, then 30 minutes under the load of Travel Trailer's AC and change the oil again and be ready for the summer travels..

I wrote a review a couple days ago had a little trouble getting it started at first, thought it had something to do with having to hold the start button till the green light blinking then taping the start button but that quit working. I ended up finding after all that it was just like other bad reviews the automatic choke was not working, I opened the face and the side panel with the pull start cord on it and found the choke wiring harness was unplugged. I did a lot of research before buying this generator and the only bad reviews were because of this same problem so was kind of expecting it. The other bad reviews go back a couple of years so am surprised they haven’t figured out a fix for this issue yet but a simple fix if slightly mechanically inclined and have a philips screw driver and a 10mm socket. After plugging in harness it starts on the first try every time,

I bought this unit in March 2021, when I received the unit and seen the outside of box, I was just sure I had a broken or scuffed unit! Much to my surprise the unit was not even touched, all due to heavy foam packing protection, that did its Job . Zero defects. I looked the unit over , removed battery door and connected battery , it was a little bit of a chore to hook up plug as it’s just long enough to work. Big hands don’t help. Located oil fill area, by the way who ever designed the very nice plastic fill funnel that actually threads into the fill hole it’s a Rubber seal washer is a Genuis , no mess and it flat works, keeping this. Filled with oil supplies. Reinstall dipstick and always full. Removed fuel cap and and added about a quart of fuel..Turned unit on as well as Fuel , and hit starter button. Fired right up , like I just stopped it ? Great ! Test run everything worked . Fuel,showed,low, I shut off and filled the tank ! Restarts and gauge showed 21 hrs run time , pretty neat .After running for about five minutes hooked to RV, It actually has the 30 amp rv plug , no other adaptor needed . Win! Ran lights and etc! Five minutes , turned on 15 K ac , unit took the load right off, checked load , stated 25%, ok, so I turned on second 15k. Ac, boom checked stayed with load and showed 50 % duty , also each time I put load on time clocked followed with new run time,(Keep in mind that the temp when I did this is like 65 outside .) might change at 100 degrees . But I was very impressed , I ran it for about to hours , changing from one ac to normal lights and back to both Ac units . The Tow handle is a big plus .

I PCS'd to Japan and bought this generator as a back up during rainy season. The generator is large enough to power appliances in the house. It is not too heavy to use for camping and other recreational activities. The noise level is not bad for a generator of this size.

My old generator went out on my and I was looking for something more powerful and quieter. The Westinghouse iGen4500 is everything I’ve been looking for. Perfect for my travel trailer and nice and quiet so I’m not bugging people at my camp site anymore. Love it!

So far, after set up and a 30 min initial run, it’s great. Remote start works well and it VERY quiet. A couple of things I noticed: the unit serial number is not available on the inverter anywhere. I had to cut one of the UPC stickers off the box to put with my records. 2nd: Familiarizing myself with the control panel and actually reading the manual, I notice the graphic depiction of the control panel and pictures were different from the iGen4500 I received. I’m curious as to why the unit I received is different from what is shown & advertised.
