I recently purchased the iGen4500 and so far am very pleased with it. It is loaded with features, easy to start, quiet and compact. My only suggestion for improvement so far would be to make the oil fill a bit easier to access. The unit did come with a screw-in funnel tube that makes the job of adding oil easier.

after another week long power outage, using a less than stellar noisy generator, I sprang for the Westinghouse iGen4500, money well spent! with everything I need to run in the house having sensitive electronics, I needed an inverter generator to protect the fridge, freezer, TV, stereo...all the important stuff! A surge suppressor will not save them from a cheap generator! This machine is incredibly quiet, and seems to be extremely fuel efficient, which is great when the gas stations all around you are also out of power! Something to note though is the outlet for your generator cord is NOT a 30A Twist-Lock like most generators, it's a TT-30 style. don't get caught with the wrong plug when you need it most!:)

The directions on how to get this running were very easy to follow EXCEPT the directions regarding putting in the oil. The oil supplied is exactly the correct amount, yet the directions warn you about over-filling the oil tank. There's also a nifty oil filler spout not mentioned in the directions, which made filling easy once I realized that to use it you need to tilt the inverter at a 45 degree angle with the spout now standing straight up to get the oil to flow down. After that, the inverter generator was as easy as fill-switch on the fuel-switch on the unit-press the start button. The starting process is awesome, and doesn't require you to hold the switch at all. Likewise, the shut down procedure is as simple as pressing the on/off button again. There's even a wireless fob to control it. For usability, this cannot be matched!

Everything out of the box has worked great so far. Haven't got a lot of run time on it yet but initial setup, startup & short period operation has all gone better than expected. Very impressed with how quiet this thing runs with load for a 3700/4500 W generator.

I spent a significant amount of time researching inverter generators before purchasing this model. After following the initial start-up instructions, the generator started with no problem and seems to operate flawlessly. Looking forward to our Memorial Day weekend campout and putting some hours on this machine! Hope to have the same review 5 years from now.

I just bought this gen now my wife can start it with outgoing outside when we take off early to go hunting or fishing, she stays around camp and relaxes A bit heavier than my other one if we fill it at home but with a 3gal tank never half to worry about it running out of fuel

I bought this for my small business, it has great feature - my favorite part is the LCD screen for the amount of gas is in the generator. Previous generator had a toggle level under some plexi glass, but when that glass was dirty, it was hard to tell if it was filled or not. This is a much better way of telling.

I purchased this generator based on the features I was looking for at a price I could afford. When it arrived, I unboxed it quickly and was surprised to how light it was for the size (about 95lbs without fuel). Initial startup was a snap, all that was needed was to connect the battery, add the oil, and feed it some gas. It took two attempts for it to start up initially with the push button start but that could be because it was completely drained of fuel. What I like best is the push button and remote start and the fact I can run my trailers A/C and other things without having to worry about it bogging down.

I purchased this product to use for my trailor while dry camping. I used to own a different generator but it was so loud I had to return it. This westinghouse generator is so quiet I can carrry on a conversation while standing next to it while running. So pleased about that. Upon following the instructions it started right up and it provides all the power I need for my 28 foot trailer. In addition it will be a great backup at my cabin as we periodically loose power from snow storms. So excited about my new generator, specially at the price point!

Item arrived strapped to a pallet with no shipping damage at all. Followed instructions, filled with oil, connected battery and started the generator. Started right away, let engine run for about 15 minutes befor putting load on. It ran our RV with no problem and ran very quiet at full load.
