Lots of great extras for great price

We bought this great little generator specifically to handle the 15k BTU air conditioner for travel trailer. 3k watts is to small to run air and a few other items and 7k watts is over kill and paying for power you really don't need so it fits perfectly in the middle. We can run the A/C, microwave, TV and every light at the same time with no problems. Love the remote start that you pay extra for on other models. It is very quiet and so far have had no issues with our purchase.

Does the Job and is really quiet

I've only had this for a few days but my racing neighbor has one and it seemed to work awesome. He did have his die after about 500hrs but westinghouse warrantied it and sent him a new upgraded version. I have the upgraded version as well and hope to have a trouble free ownership. Can run the A/C, fridge, and the air compressor at the same time or the heat and coco maker at the same time.

Almost a perfect Generator for an RV.

I bought this for our 35' 5th Wheel after struggling with two smaller units in parallel. After a long and tedious Break In period, we have run it ~350 hrs. over the past summer in sweltering heat at times -- over 100F. We run it non stop boondocking for three or four days at a time and have had ZERO Problems with it. The run time is very good, not great when running the AC continuously, but that's what you get in a compact unit. In our RV, we are running the AC, Fridge, Hot Water Heater, Ceiling Fan, Coffee Pot, Microwave, two Satellite receivers with 32" TV's, Device Chargers and the occasional Hair Drier and the coach battery charger. Never all at once, but I don't have to do much "Power Management" and use common sense. However, on a hot day, pulling ~30Amps continuously for hours is not uncommon. I installed a "Soft Start" on the AC. Best investment next to the IGen4500. Makes life easy on everything. Also, a GOOD Break In and load test is really important - to me anyway. The first start up with factory oil was on and off every 30-minutes for a couple of hours allowing it to completely cool off. Then the same with a half load or so with with an electric heater turning the heater on and off every 15-minutes or so. Then an oil change at about 5-6 hours. Then a load of Full Synthetic Mobil Delvac-1 5W-40 Engine Oil. Repeating the same procedure, although going up to full load with two electric heaters, again varying the load between zero, half and full load+ with full cool downs for another 5-6 hours, then another oil change with synthetic. Then I ran it about another ten hours with several cool down / start ups cycles with varying loads of zero up to the maximum output of 4k+ -- for several minutes at a time. After about 20 hours or so, I changed the oil one last time before we hit the road with it. I have been changing the oil at about 100hr intervals since. Zero oil consumption and it comes out pretty clean. Our last trip we ran it non-stop for over 70hrs. After ~350hrs on it, I am pretty happy. It has been the least of my worries traveling.

Great generator

We purchased this to use with our camper. We are running a 13.5k btu A/C, 11 CF 12v fridge, and a small microwave. With all of these items active (no lights or fans), the generator handled them to 75% capacity. I was impressed. I only wish it was just a little bit quieter. My buddy has a champion and his is 1000 watts larger and it is a little quieter than ours. Overall, very happy with the purchase!

Great generator for the value

I have sold many brands of generators over the years including the Onan 4500 which is basically the same as this Westinghouse 4500. The Onan was a great trouble free generator so I could not pass this up for the cost of the Westinghouse versus the Onan. Put the oil and fuel into the generator and if fired right up with the remote, couldn't be happier with the purchase.

The generator i Gen 4500 is very quiet.

The i Gen 4500 is quiet and easy to start. It has many features that its competitors don't , such as built in dolly wheels and handle, gas gauge, remote start key, and is a very good lookin unit with a very organized front display. Also the battery and oil compartments are easy to access. So far love this generator.
