Best generator ever, reliable and low gas use.

We got this generator a week before Texas winter storm. It got us thru 3 days and nights without power. We connected our fridge, freezer, microwave, lights. The gas consumption is very low: 5 gl. , lasted 26 hours of continuous use. Besides, you do not hear it. The best generator we have ever had. Totally recommended

Fantastic 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.

Very user friendly.

Can tell a lot of thought went into this machine. I live off grid and depend on a generator. I have bought other brands of similar size. Had problems. The Westinghouse 4500 is working great for me. It’s dependable, quiet and love the wireless remote!

Quiet and Powerful!

Bought this generator to power a decent sized camper. Instructions were simple to follow, and the craziest part is how quiet the generator is! I couldn't even tell it was running from the road (about 100 feet away). This little guy does everything we need it to.

Very nice

I just bought the generator and haven't had an opportunity to use it yet. However, it's a beautiful piece of equipment and runs very well. Filling it with oil was a lot like trial and error. The funnel is very helpful but I had to keep removing it and checking to ensure that I hadn't overfilled the generator with oil. I think it would also be helpful to have a battery status indicator.

Great features, competively priced

I just bought this and am looking forward to doing some off grid camping. It should have plenty of power for my needs. Instructions were clear and unit started right up. I especially like the remote start feature! Only thing missing I can see is a low oil shut-off.

Smart decision to get this generator!

I read several reviews over many different makes of generators and this one time and time again had some of the best especially for the cost of this generator. I was not let down. Now it’s just a matter of time before I buy the second one to be able to run everything in my tv at once.

WORKED GREAT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX

PURCHASED THIS LAST YEAR, HOWEVER, DUE TO LOCKDOWNS CAMPING WAS PUT OFF UNTIL THIS YEAR. OPENED THE BOX THIS YEAR FILLED WITH OIL AND GAS... FIRST PULL AND IT STARTED. AFTER LETTING IT RUN FOR AN HOUR WITH NO LOAD, I POWERED IT UP AGAIN AND PLUGGED IN OUR 30/50 AMP CAMPER/TRAILER. NOW FOR THE TEST. I TURNED ON THE MAIN AIR CONDITIONER AND YOU COULD HEAR THE GENERATOR NOW UNDER A LOAD. THEN TURNED ON THE REFRIGERATOR.THE GENERATOR POWERED BOTH ESSENTIALS WITH NO PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE GAUGE ON THE IGEN4500 IT WAS SHOWING 25% USAGE. THE NEXT TEST WAS HAVING THE WIFE COME OUT AND CHECK THE NOISE LEVEL. WITH THE GENERATOR ONLY 4 FEET FROM THE CAMPER AND THE BEDROOM LOCATION BEING RIGHT THERE THE NOISE WAS TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR MY WIFE. THE NOISE WAS FINE WHILE IN THE CAMPER LIVING AREA, YOU COULD HEAR IT BUT IT WAS REALLY NOT NOTICABLE WHILE HAVING A CONVERSATION. IF THE GENERATOR WAS PLACED TOWARD THE REAR THE NOISE LEVEL, I'M SURE, WOULD BE EVEN LOWER. AFTER RUNNING THE IGEN4500 FOR OVER AN HOUR THE TRAILER WAS VERY COMFORTABLE AND THE REFRIGERATOR WAS WORKING FINE AND CHILLED. REALLY THE ONLY OTHER ITEM{S} THAT MIGHT BE USED WOULD BE SMALL ELECTRONICS. ACCORDING TO THE FRONT OF THE IGEN4500 THERE WAS MORE POWER AVAILABLE. AFTER ALOT OF RESEACH PRIOR TO MY PURCHSE, I AM SO PLEASED WITH THE IGEN4500. I WILL UPDATE MY REVIEW AFTER OUR SUMMER TRIPS AND WE PUT IT THROUGH THE ACTUAL CAMPING EXPERIENCE.

Has every feature I needed in a Generator

Purchased this unit for our camper, and the remote start was a must. Easy to start and maintain. The noise levels are low. Easy to move around with the extendable luggage handle. There is also a dual fuel version of this available with the remote start feature which is hard to find at the moment.

Running good!

Have only had it running for a few hrs, and so far so good. Started up well within a few pulls. Trying it out on refrigerator and freezer, along with a few lights. Nice and quite and appears to be well built (except for the access cover's locking mechanism - not a big deal but appear cheesy). I plan on changing the oil after 10 or so hours with higher-quality oil than came with it.
