Great generator almost impossible to change oil

Had to get a bigger generator for my new travel trailer to handle bigger A/C unit. Runs great. Ran it for the first time to break it in. Just finished the oil change and it’s almost impossible to do. The drain screw does not line up with the access hole. A normal size male hands will have a hard time lining up and starting the threading of the screw plug. This is a major design flaw.

Best generator EVER

I just opened the box last night, folowwed the instructions. Put in the oil, hooked up the battery, put some gas in it, maybe a gallon for the break in. Turned on the battery power, pushed the start button and VOILA. This thing just fired up with no hickups. Runs smooth, checked the noise with my phone app, at 20 feet registered 43 db in eco mode, 46 on full power. You can't beat that. I noticed other people were complaining about rust at the gas tube and scratches on the unit. I had none of those. The unit is spotless, no scratches no rust. I ran it for 2 hours on eco mode, now I'm gonna change the oil. And of course the remote is the icing on the cake. This will be able to power my 24' travel trailer or back up my home. I have 3 Champion generators, a 4000 watt and two 2000 wats and they're great but this W estinghouse igen 4500 beats them all.

Amazing Price Point!

I've been looking for "just the right generator" for some time. I recently purchased a travel trailer and knew that I'd need a generator. When they told me the price of this one and it had the Westinghouse brand I didn't think about it twice, I brought it and took it home. There are several brands out there to choose from, but this one is really quiet, easy to start, and moves very easy even when it's full of gas.

Awesome!

Have had this gen since 06-15-18 have taken it on several camping trips with my fifth wheel and absolutely no issues at all. Purchased a cargo carrier and matching bag to protect the gen while on the road and LOVE IT! Also would recommend a gen tent for protection in inclement weather. Have had it to Yellow Stone and my mountain property in Montana (where the wind can be quite high) and no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend to follow the break in directions, used the oil provided for initial break in then I use full synthetic. My RV dealer was very impressed took many pictures and couldn't believe the sound level (or the lack of) he now has one on display. Couldn't be happier!

Super Quiet

So happy after starting this generator. It was so quiet I could hardly tell that it was on and running. The day it arrived there was power outage and was able to power up the essentials, refrigerator, Tvs, microwave etc. I can now discard my old noisy generator and keep everybody happy.

Everything I was looking for

I took it out of the box, added the oil and gas and it started right up. I then hooked it to my 50Amp 5th wheel with a 40Amp conversion cable and it ran my 15K BTU Air Conditioner, refrigerator and lights with no problem. My 5th has 2 air conditioners but with this unit I could only run one. Unit was very quite .I did a lot of research before buying this unit and for the price it's the best one out there.

A lot of generator for the price.

Prepped the unit just as directed, started right up and ran smooth. Probably the most quiet generator I have heard. Connected to toy hauler trailer and cycled through A/C and no problems! Haven't used long term on a camping trip, etc., but have no concerns that unit will perform as advertised.

On the fence

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.

SUPER QUIET, LOVE THIS GENERATOR

The generator ended up being larger than we expected. However, the wheels make it easy to move/use. Very quiet, and runs everything we need it to run. So impressed with how quiet it is. The #1 reason we wanted this Generator. We were not disappointed.

Great once you get it going.

The product did not work when it arrived. After trying all the troubleshooting tips and sitting on hold with customer service, I found multiple YouTube videos all saying the same thing. I had to pop off the panels (which are not easily done) and found that a cable arrived unattached that controlled the idle. I plugged that in and everything has worked great since. It's a really nice unit, I just don't like that I had to take it apart new out of the box to get it to work.
