Purchased the IGen4500 because of all the features - auto start, dual fuel, remote start. Have not used the propane to run it as of yet, but it runs great on gasoline. Starts very easy with the push button start. Only issue I am having is with the remote start. Does not work. Every once in a while it will shut off the with the remote, but will hardly start it.

Like others leaving reviews..we bought the igen 4500 and happily received a igen 5000 . Fired right up! Runs great, just changed oil , found a cross threaded screw in the cover ,other than that, love my Genny ( hopefully someone from Westinghouse sees this for my free cover) still would recommend this generator with or without the cover

The generator arrived on schedule and started right away after we unpacked it and filled fluids. There was some oil in the oil pan indicating it had been tested. The generator is very quiet and starts easily with either the pull or the self starter. The remote starter is great, since we can turn it on or off from inside the RV. It is an attractive unit and transports easily either on the wheels or by the convenient handle. There is a gas diverter built into it, where if you spill gas, it channels the fuel out and over the side, where it doesn't make a mess on the top of the generator. The power is sufficient to run the A/C units and all other power requirements of our single unit A/C. At 4500 peak Watts and 3700 Running, I believe it might be sufficient to run 2 A/Cs. It also has a USB charging port. I'm very happy with this unit.

Our Toy trailer generator went out after 20 years. Bought this to use when remote camping. Very easy to set up and started easily, and very quiet. Will love the remote starter on cold days! Easy to roll with the pull out handle, even wife can move it around.

Filled with oil and did all prep to get it ready for first start. Turned fuel and power on, pressed the start button, and VUALA! Strated right up. Hooked it up to my Fifth wheel to see if it would run 1 AC and microwave at same time and did it perfectly. Haven't gone camping and used it, but soon...

I did extensive research on generators/inverters for my camper, and the Westinghouse iGen4500 had the best balance of price, weight, capacity, and noise level. There were two items from shipping that were less than perfect: 1) One of the battery cable plug female ends was bent out of shape, so the plug wouldn't go together, and I had to pry it open to get it to go together. 2) Initially, the generator wouldn't start, or would kill seconds after it did. After doing some snooping on the Westinghouse Portable Power website, I found a Technical Service Bulletin under Service & Support that gave the simple, but tedious, fix to reconnect a cable to the starting module that tends to come unplugged during shipping.

I bought this to use for my RV and around my property for running power tool and air compressors. So far it has been very strong and powers everything I've had to use. I had two 2000k generator before and they couldn't handle the load I needed. So far I'm impressed and I'm looking forward to using it with my RV.

Very quiet and worked well after I fixed the crank but no start condition due to a connector that had come off the auto choke controller during shipping. Minor repair but disappointing. There is a Westinghouse service bulletin on this issue. A 1 cent dab of RTV during factory assembly would eliminate this problem. Would have given it 5 STARS otherwise.

Would not crank at 1st. I checked spark plug & it was fine (must use included spark plug tool) then I opened the dran screw on bottom of carb to let fuel flow. After all the air bubbles came out it crank fine & has done fine since. Runs my camper just fine.

I recently purchased the iGen 4500 for home use because we tend to lose power several time a year. Today, I started it for the first time - and it was as smooth a silk. The engineering on the machine is quite consumer friendly, especially the telescoping handle -genius ! I did have one question about the initially start-up so I called customer service. My question was answered quickly and with knowledge. Now this is my first impression of the I Gen. I am confident that it will prove true and reliable when I really need it.
