this is very quite, much more than I thought it would be. I'm putting in a pellet stove so this will be great as it's so quite.When you add the oil put a rag or paper towel under the fill hole to catch oil. Took several tries before I got the oil filler cap on right. It's under 100 lbs. so I won't need a second person to help load it. It has an extendable handle for easy moving. I am really happy with this gen.

We have been in the market a while for a quiet inverter generator that can run all the systems in our RV. We had sticker shock at the Honda generators and other males and stumbled on the Westinghouse item 4500. Good reviews lots of power for a fraction of the cost. We decided to try and are very pleased with the product. Comes fully assembled even the battery many makes don't do that. Took 5 minutes to fill oil, supplied with a funnel and fuel. Started right up and I'm amazed how quiet, walked 15 feet away and couldnt hear it. This was a no brainer. One other thing for my fellow Californians, one of the few CARB compliant generators.

I haven't had prolonged use, but so far so good! I conditioned it with a couple of oil changes, and the unit seems great! I only rated 4 stars because I have not had a chance to use it for a prolonged period. I ran it next to my Honda 2000i and it seemed slightly more quiet than the Honda! Overall, so far, happy with the purchase.

I bought this 2-19-21 ,put oil in in it and gas hooked up battery and it stared right up, ran it for one hour and change the oil it was a little hard to get to the oil drain plug,the manual says it has a automatic rotating data number display but it has a push button which I like better, it surges a little bit but does not change volt on the display called Westinghouse waiting to hear back from them about the surge and display. so far i like it.

I am very impressed with all the features of this generator, especially considering the price. It has all the features and more than the Honda, Yamaha, Predator, and Wen generators I compared it to. I have a 2000 watt Yamaha already and was looking for a larger companion to it. This Westinghouse one has me sold! The 3 year warranty is an added bonus and piece of mind. I absolutely would recommend to friends. In fact I already have.

Bought this generator about a month ago because our electricity goes out so often. Today, I got to use it. I was very happy with how easy it is to start and how quiet it is. It worked great and saved my canning session! I also got a paper saying I qualified for a bonus free cover, but the website it says to go to doesn't seem to have the offer. Sure would love to have the storage cover.

I did a lot of research before selecting the IGen4500 for use with my travel trailer. The first time I used it was in the mountains at an altitude of 8,500 feet. It ran great without any problems at this higher altitude. I am so happy and very satisfied with this generator. I highly recommend it!

I just received this yesterday and have not had an opportunity to use it yet. I took it out of the box, connected the battery, put the oil an gas in and it fired right up. It is a lot quieter than I expected. I can’t wait to go camping off the grid with this. When I pulled it out of the box, the oil fill cover caught on the box and the tab broke. I tried to glue it, but it didn’t hold. But I’m pretty sure that was my fault.

I set up engine and started motor. Motor did not come up to speed. Smoked a lot. I have seen many reviews about issues with the choke, so I pulled the side panel off and checked operation of the choke. It was stuck closed.. I manually opened it and the generator ran just like it should. i ran it for about 4 hours with about 1500 watt load and all went well. I downloaded the Service Bulletin on the choke cable issue. I followed the instructions, pulled the front panel and reconnected the dangling connector. Put everything back together and watched the choke operate as the motor was starting and all was good. I am going to use this for power outages and I have every belief that it will perform as advertised when the time comes.

Delivery was fast and careful!! Crated for safe shipping! Includes everything one needs to fire it up (except the gasoline, of course). Clear and straightforward instructions - we are currently having our electrician install our transfer switch. Easy to move around, easy to read controls. Push button start is totally great!! We've had a few outages so far this year, and we are now ready for the next one!!
