I opened it up and it looks great!! Fired it up and it is so quiet I can have a normal conversation standing next to it. Used a circular saw and the bolts didn’t move nor fit it really get any louder. I then took a few steps away and couldn’t even hear it. Went inside and it was silent inside. Awesome generator so far! I was looking for quiet for camping and I didn’t go wrong. This thing is quieter that a Honda at 4x the cost of this.

I’ve had this a week and have around 12 hours on it. It runs great with no issues. It won’t handle both of my rv air conditioners but they’re 22 years old and likely need more power to start up. So far we love this generator and it’s much less expensive than some competitors.

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

Received generator in good condition. Directions straight forward to set up. Only thing was to connect battery I had to plug positive and negative terminal harness to generator harness. Wires were already connected to battery although negative terminal connection was loose.Replaced plastic oil fill plug with a magnetic one to capture metal shavings during break in period. Unit started right up. Very quite. Plugged in a chest freezer and refrigerator, worked well. Fairly easy to wheel around with luggage style telescoping handle.Time will tell of it’s durability.

Put oil and gas in, started right up. Gas gauge did not function out of the box, fuel float sensor was hung up. First day camping with it, lost spark and would not run at all, checked wiring to the coil and found a faulty factory connection. Fixed the plug and all has been well since. A little disappointed it needed work right away for how much I paid for it but overall pretty happy with it.

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!

I think it is a quality generator, but one thing I did not appreciate was that the amount of oil provided was more than the generator needed to start. The manual says to add that volume, yet it overflowed and created a large mess for me to deal with during the break-in. It also says in the manual that the generator is shipped without oil. Simply send the amount of oil that the generator needs for start-up so we do not have that issue.

Bought this for our RV and it works great! I did some research before I bought this and I was really nervous about the whole choke wire issue but this one fired right up. Either they fixed the problem or I'm just a lucky one.. idk. The setup directions were easy to follow. The only minor complaint is the lack of a simple visible data plate, but don't let that be a deterrent from a purchase.

love this generator with all the features. packing was really great Wife loves the remote and after reading other reviews of people having different issues with this generator i have had no problems and it is Feb and haven't been abel to use it with my camper can't wait.

I just setup the generator with no problems. I've purchased this to replace a 25 year old Honda that I use with our 5th wheel camper. I particularly like the weight and the handles for getting it off and on my truck. I'm looking forward to using it in the next couple of days.
