I have tried a couple of other comparable units to this one and this unit seems to be quitter. I've even found this unit starts easier than the fuel injected unit i tried. The starter doesn't sound like it is laboring trying to start. It kicks right off with the remote and stays active for more than 4 hrs. in standby mode. Price wise the unit was lower than most of the others and if you shop around a little you may find it a bit cheaper as well. Very Happy so far!

I just received my new IGen4500. It was super easy to get rolling with nothing you have to put together. Started right up and really quite. The remote start and handle to move it around are both going to be great. Got fit use with rv and I can start and stop from inside the rv.

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.

This little guy checked all the right boxes for purchase!! Quieter than most other gens out there, easily portable, CARB compliant, competitive price compared to similar brands/makes, solid/sleek chassis, power supply that fit our needs, electric/key fob/manual start options, an "eco" mode that gas-saves when applicable, and easily readable data/outlet/breaker/switch panel on front. Awesome features! I only have one critique for design which is the oil fill/drain plug and tank. (Which is why its "Good" and not "Excellent" rating.) 1) it is not easy to visually inspect oil level. The picture in the manual gives a perspective view of proper level, but that isn't very easy to evaluate in "real life". The dipstick is small and oil-capture etching is a little light. 2) It is not very accessible: the plug is quite inset in panel/machine. 3) Adding oil for the first time was messy, even though, supplied container was the exact size of oil tank, and the funnel should have prevented spillage. (In retrospect, the machine should have probably been tipped slightly for easy pour? maybe instructions can be updated for future newbies like me.) 4) Removing oil is also a bit cumbersome. Instructions do indicate tipping machine (in this case) to assist in draining, but the machine is heavy so it is a "2 person job". Knowing the above in advance would not have dissuaded me from purchasing, but it would have prompted a bit more research beyond what is provided in instructions. Overall, It is a great little gen that serves our needs. It powered our fridge, entertainment center and a couple of laptops with ease! No sags, surges, breaker-trips or anything. Would absolutely recommend to friends/family, and even purchase again for paralleling. (Know your extension cords for purchase too: this will make a big difference for gen usage!)

I waited until I used this generator to write this review. Getting the generator operational was very straight forward as the instructions in the owners manual are well written and easy to follow. We used the generator to run the air conditioner on our RV this past weekend. The generator noise was not a factor as we slept in the RV. The remote start is a great feature. We are satisfied customers.

I was looking through several options when buying a generator. This was the one that convinced us, after several searches online and in stores and reading the reviews this was the best option, great price and excellent features. preparing for any emergency with the best option

Received new generator with noticeable rust at fuel tank neck. Immediately contacted Westinghouse who ensured me this is normal. Ran generator to make sure every thing worked (using sta-bil added fuel). Tested generator 2 month later to make sure every thing worked fine before storm season but generator would not maintain power and kept turning off. Checked online and found service bulletin with instruction on manual fix by opening the cover and manually adjusting choke. So assumed this was known issue and dropped off at local service center. I am told the carburetor was gummed/dirty and this would not be covered under warranty. Called up Westinghouse and service rep politely read instructions: for "2 month storage the float bowl has to be emptied of fuel". Not having emptied the fuel from the float bowl broke the generator in 2 month. Hard to believe that if I had turned on the generator few days earlier, the generator would had work. The fact that there is a service bulletin that was created to temporary fix this exact problem actually exists suggests there is a model wide quality issue. Also Westinghouse claiming rusted fuel tank is normal also suggests this model is cheaply made. Can not recommend for first time generator users. I suspect the rust and carburetor issues are tied. Also, this generator requires lots of maintenance that must be followed accurately. Being 1 day late will break unit.

Bought this after realizing I needed a reliable portable generator when a hurricane passed through and cause an extended power outage. This generator started up first try, with the remote key fob and ran quietly. I am looking forward to the next outage to put this machine to practice.

I bought this generator to run our horse trailer when we go to my sons rodeos. It's super quiet and easy to haul in our trailer. I bought it thinking it would be easy for my wife and son could unload it and use if there was ever a time I couldn't be there. This generator meets all my expectations!!!

I've bought this unit after seeing one like it at our local RV Dealer. They carry the exact thing labeled by Onan. I like how quiet it is and the fact that it is big enough to run everything in my RV. The pricing I got on this unit was better than that of the Onan.
