We bought this generator on 12 March 2019, we looked at this one, Honda and Predator (Harbor Freight). We chose this one for the Company's reputation and quality for over a century, and couldnt justify dropping 4x the price for the same power and features with the Honda name. For the price, this inverter can't be beat. We followed all procedures out of the box and it runs like a dream. Very quiet and fuel efficient. We have used it every weekend since we purchased it boondocking with our 35' RV and it powers everything, including the AC, and only uses maybe 1/4 of the power available. With A/C running, the 3.4 gallons lasts about 10-12 hrs, with no A/C running we average 15-18 hrs... simply incredible. We replaced a pair a Champion 2200s and Im so glad we did. The only reason we give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the design of the architecture for oil changes. While it gives you a small window to quickly and easily add oil, you have to finagle with tools in a very tight and cramped space to remove/insert the oil drain plug which is located on the side of the oil tank instead of the bottom. This causes oil to drip down the side and cause a mess inside the compartment which is extremely hard to clean up. Also the side panel is not easily removable as say the Predator's is. Not a deal breaker, just annoying when you have to change the oil. Overall we love the inverter and would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

This is the wrong generator. Mine wasn't listed in the drop down box. I bought the WH2200iXLT and it works great. Starts by the second pull and runs for hours. I put it to the test for two weeks in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I had to charge deep cycle batteries to run my biPAP machine and even used it for a toaster. Also, ran some lights while the batteries were charging. Never any problem.

I am quite impressed with the overall build and performance of the generator; however, it is not as quiet as advertised. From 25 to 30 feet away, with the exhaust away from me and under no load, the eco setting still produces 61 to 62 db consistently. Had it been 55 or less, as advertised, it would have received 5 stars.

I bought this on 08/06/20 and received it on the 12th. Manual is pretty good except that it does not address the little button in digital meter to change selections but I figured it out. Also the manual needs to be updated to show that it has total run time as one of the selections. There was a card in the packet with the manual that says you get a free cover if you leave a review but when you go to the web site listed on the card it has no place to rate anything. That was kind of disappointing. Got everything up and running and will be using it in the near future. Will provide another review at a later date to provide information on how it performs. I do live at 2600ft elevation and will probably need to purchase the high altitude kit but am not sure where I can find it.

I just purchased this generator. It looks great. I tried to start it and the automatic choke does not operate. I took the side cover off and operated it manually. We will see if the battery being a little week has any thing to do with it. Over all a nice and quiet unit with nice features. I would recommend this generator to all of my camping friends.

Received my igen4500 several days ago, product was packaged well and everything needed to start was included except gas of course. Instructions on startup was clear and easy. Generator seems to be constructed well and I love the handle, wheels, and especially the remote. The generator started on the second try, understandable because the carb had to fill with fuel. I was surprised at how quite this generator is. I definitely hope to get good service from this machine because I am impressed so far.

I bought this generator almost a month ago.Everything arrived in good order.I unpacked it and put oil in it and hooked up the battery and started it up.i did the proper break in and it started right up and has run perfectly.Cant wait to take it camping.

I purchased this about a month a go. Started up right away and so far is working very good as a power source for a camper trailer. Very quiet operation and it seems to use very little fuel. The only disappointment is that there was a bonus cover offered upon registration if a review was done. When I registered the bonus cover was no longer available.

Bought it to run concession equipment and was surprised at how quiet it is. Electric start is nice with a fob. Looking forward to hooking it up to the new machine and see how hard we can push it. Tote handle tucks away nice. Auto idle downPretty impressed so far with it.

We researched other brands and after reading reviews decided on Westinghouse IGen4500. It is quiet and ran everything in our camper. I followed the directions for start up and it worked just as stated. It is also nice to have the remote and it worked great! We are very happy with this purchase!
