I bought this because I did not need to power much- a refrigerator and a few fans. Wanted a quiet and fuel efficient unit since we generally need it for days after hurricanes pass through. Light and easy to store. This checked all of the boxes for me.

Received this generator as a gift during Hurricane Helene. We were without power for eleven days. I powered only what was necessary: refrigerator, radio, lamp and coffee maker. I rested the generator during the night for 6 hours. On approximately 3 1/2 gallons of fuel and economy setting, I could go for nearly 20 hours of run time. Wonderfully quiet unit. Never missed a beat.

I just got my generator and did my test runs on it. The machine is extremely quiet for the size of it and surprisingly light. It handled a shop vac and a hair dryer no issues bringing the usage up to 2.6 kw. 2 pushes of the electric start initially fired it right up! I am looking forward to powering my 15000 but trailer AC this summer with it!

I got this for off grid camping about 2 weeks ago, this thing is so quiet! It runs like a dream, library quiet and cemetery smooth, can barely tell I’m running a generator. Westinghouse you have out done yourself. Keep up the great work, AMERICAN MADE. I really like the remote start feature on this unit. Thank you Jlowe

Lots of complaints about the auto choke not working, however filling up oil/gas, it started and smoothed out very quickly. Choke working perfectly. Remote control nice feature, but overall, not sure that it will benefit me. Currently working through break-in process, alternating between idle and 1.2KW

Great design and control board. Started up the first time with no issues. Main concern is no manual choke. Yet instructions state it may be necessary to manually start and choke??? Had some scratches on the plastic from factory and rv plug g seems backwards. Appears well built. Still, very concerened about high altitude operation with no manual choke or a carb kit available at present.

I brought this May 29, 2022 and it arrived at my door on June 3, 2022. I got it up and running in about 15-20 minutes after reading some of the manual to understand some of the operating board. Fired right up on the first pull. Will be using it tomorrow to run a water pump for a couple hours to water 60+ trees. Hopefully all goes well.

This inverter generator was purchased for use with our travel trailer but it will be great portable power for our farm as well. We love how quiet it is and all the extra features that we did not find on other comparably priced units. For example, all the outlets are covered, it is RV ready with no extra adapter needed, and with the extendable handle and wheels is very easy to move around. Little design things like a screw on funnel and easy access panels make it a user friendly unit. Overall a great unit for our needs at a very reasonable price!

I researched hours for what I hoped would be the perfect generator. I have a "whole house", 11K generator, but store sold me on whole house when in fact I would have needed another 6-10K. So last year during Irma, the whole house decided to konk out and left me with no power. I borrowed a 3700 and ran 2 refrigerators, freezer, computers, tv & fans. It saved me as power was out exactly 6 days. So I settle on the iGen 4500 because of features and price and I can see I didn't make a mistake. I'll get to the cons but the pros: easy start and far quieter than I imagined. Had to keep going outside during test run just to make sure it was running. Love all the information on the digital screen and didn't even cough when I put a load on it. Seems to be frugal with the fuel use. The cons: First off the panels, all of which had to come off in order to access important pieces. The back for the battery, wire to connect battery was tucked so far under the unit you couldn't see it thru the access panel. They recommend draining fuel from the carb bowel after use but you have to take the five screws out of the side panel to access the unit. Why not use butterfly screws/bolts to make this process so much easier. On to oil access. You can see it but if your hands are big getting to the dip stick and getting it off and rethreaded takes some doing. Those are all minor details the company should be looking at and wouldn't deter me from buying this unit again. I don't want to have to use it but wow, what a great piece of mind I just bought. Had two other brands picked out but am sure this is the right one. With continued use maybe I'll update down the road.

Just purchased for our RV trailer. Followed the set-up/break-in instructions. Ran consistently and performed as we expected. Provided stable, consistent power. Noise was not bad - no complaints from our neighboring campers, and we ran out nonstop for almost 5 hours as per the break in directions.
