I bought this for my new camper. A must for any adventure!! After 2 weeks of research on 11 different models, this was the one. Added the oil, connected the battery and we were ready to go. Remote start? Heck yea!! Anybody can start this machine. Runs all night in the camp ground and does not bother a soul!!

Went with this model for higher running watts than the competitors, plus electric remote start and fuel shutoff valve. Unboxing and startup is well thought out with a battery connector already wired in and a threaded oil funnel that holds itself in place. Impressed so far.

Opening the box, there was oil spilled on the unit, and the battery was not secured and upside down in the compartment. The unit started on second pull and is very quiet. On off button seems intermittent or there is a delay in start up and shutdown. Manual does not mention a delay

Purchased about 2 mos ago for camping, it was the quietest generator in camp ground & has all the features I need . The only problem I had was to remove right cover to connect carburetor automatic choke wire as mentioned in most reviews( definitely a production problem ). It starts up and runs great so far. This generator will work fine to run my house for what I need.

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 received the unit. Well built and performs extremely well. Would have given 5+ stars except - the battery terminals were already connected to the battery and the negative bolt and connection were very corroded, Quick disconnect, clean and treat with battery connection spray fixed that. Starts easily with electric start or pull rope, idles right down and runs very quiet for so much power. I'd get it again !!

My wife and I live in mariposa California the last storm dropped a big oak tree across our driveway. Pulling down the powerline. PG&E could not get here for two days, so we pluged in our generator, which promptly quit on us! I immediately got online and went through numerous reviews and decided on a Westinghouse inverter generator. My wife and I are extremely happy we did because this thing works amazing. Started on the first pole and runs nice and quiet, unlike our old conventional generator it also supplies, the perfect amount of power that we need. We've used it three times so far and are extremely happy with it!

We had been talking about purchasing this generator, when we had a power outage where we live for a couple days. We purchased the generator for our camper and lived in it during the outage. It did fantastic. We will now mount in our RV and take it on the road to various campgrounds and parks and conveniently always have power. Glad we got it broke in and it ran quietly and sufficiently! Definitely recommend.

Comes basically ready to go, connect battery(2 slip together wires) fill with shipped oil and start up. Already sitting on my cargo rack on the rear bumper of my travel trailer, enough juice to power everything and i mean everything. Just a hair over 100 lbs my wife and I can set it on cargo shelf no problem. Also kinda nice to have a bit larger one to have around the house just in case, you never know. Thanks

Love this unit, by far the best generator I've ever owned.Had an issue with the choke but the service department had me fixed up in no time. Love the remote start. This is by far the best all around inverter generator on the market highly recommended.
