I only had it for a day so I can’t vouch for long term reliability, but I like it so far. Unboxed it, filled with the supplied oil, put some gas in it, connected the battery, and it started the first pull. Everything worked as it should and the electric and remote start is a nice feature.

So far I have had zero problems with this product, its heavy but that's required in order to produce wattage stated. The handle and wheels are a must, one of the reasons I went with Westinghouse. I like the design and noise reduction qualities. This unit is compact and I can tell it will be easily serviced when required air filter and oil changes are due. Westinghouse went above and beyond including a small tool kit and oil with funnel.

We bought this generator to power our grand design imagine camper. They provide enough power to supply everything we need to run on the camper when we are off the grid. It’s quiet, efficient, and easy to move around. The remote control makes it an absolute gem to operate from inside the camper.

The unit came in a sturdy box and Styrofoam, everything was there that was needed to get started. Completed the minor assembly, Gave it some time to break-in using a electric smoker that would very the power for 10 hrs. Starts quickly and has performed like it suppose to. Oil change is not the easiest but the funnel does its Job.

After extensive research, I chose the gas powered Westinghouse iGen4500 generator to add to our Generac portable propane and Inergy APEX solar generators to ensure multiple power supply options in an emergency situation. The iGen4500 is everything and more than we could have hoped for in a generator -- power, quiet, extensive front panel for optimal use and information, handy pull-out handle for portability. The iGen4500 motor purrs like a kitten under a well padded durable plastic housing. Adding the iGen4500 to our emergency portable power supply gives us the peace of mind we were looking for in a gasoline powered generator.

Had it for awhile never needed it. Then one night in our 5th wheel the park lost power. This baby fired right up and we had power all night and the next day with hardly using any gas. This was in the middle of Texas summer so AC are a must. We love this generator so much now. You never need one until you do. Oh and super quiet.

The quick start guide is in error in the very first step. No need to take the access cover off to add oil. There is a dedicated access cover for oil. An oil fill funnel is provided, which is nice, but the spout is so small, it is a challenge to add oil w/o spilling. Maybe a slightly longer hose on the funnel would be better so it could be bent to more of a vertical pouring position. The leads on the battery are too short for people like me with big hands. It is difficult to get my hands into the small battery compartment. My knuckles are now scraped. I plugged in the AC adapter to charge the battery, but there is no indication (like an LED light) to indicate it is charging. Something as simple as you find on an electric shaver would be an improvement. My next step will be to add fuel and see how it actually works. At this point in the process, as you can read, I am a bit frustrated. Hopefully the rest of the process will be better.

Took less than an hour to get the generator up and running, neighbor giggled when I had him press the "on" button on the included fob and the generator started producing power. Great product that's the half the price of brand "H". And the iGen4500 makes MORE power.

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
