Worked fine right out of the box. My biggest complaint would be to relocate the carrying handles further to the sides of the generator if possible. Being a bit aged the gen isn't the lightest for two to carry. Handles closer to the edges would make it easier. Also there isn't alot of black top/concrete where we use the generator making the small wheels basically drags in softer terrain. Bigger wheels would help drastically.

Just bought this after being left in the dark for 4 nights during a storm. We live in a townhouse and needed a quieter generator and this one is perfect! Has great features and easy setup out of the box. Stores nicely in our garage. Highly recommend.

We bought this generator on 12 March 2019, we looked at this one, Honda and Predator (Harbor Freight). We chose this one for the Company's reputation and quality for over a century, and couldnt justify dropping 4x the price for the same power and features with the Honda name. For the price, this inverter can't be beat. We followed all procedures out of the box and it runs like a dream. Very quiet and fuel efficient. We have used it every weekend since we purchased it boondocking with our 35' RV and it powers everything, including the AC, and only uses maybe 1/4 of the power available. With A/C running, the 3.4 gallons lasts about 10-12 hrs, with no A/C running we average 15-18 hrs... simply incredible. We replaced a pair a Champion 2200s and Im so glad we did. The only reason we give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the design of the architecture for oil changes. While it gives you a small window to quickly and easily add oil, you have to finagle with tools in a very tight and cramped space to remove/insert the oil drain plug which is located on the side of the oil tank instead of the bottom. This causes oil to drip down the side and cause a mess inside the compartment which is extremely hard to clean up. Also the side panel is not easily removable as say the Predator's is. Not a deal breaker, just annoying when you have to change the oil. Overall we love the inverter and would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

The iGen4500 is a very nice quiet generator. It is very easy to use with push button start as well as remote start. Setup and initial startup was very straight forward. Looking forward to lots of camping trips with this generator in tow! Compared with Honda and Predator Generators and went with the Westinghouse for value and reliability.

I bought a pair of these generators to parallel and provide 50a service to my rig. The generator is surprisingly quiet even under a load, starts easily, remote is a nice add-on, full of features and data so I can see what is going on. For the money you cannot buy better.

I wanted a backup generator in case of an extended hurricane electrical outage. I chose this one based on the inverter technology. It is much quieter and if needed, one can plug in sensitive electronics directly without worrying they might get fried based on a "dirty" current line as in a standard generator. Think of inverter technology as a "surge suppressor". Also like the ease of use, good value, good name, and better warranty than most others. I like the remote start and electronic gauge readings, especially the time left to run. Started right up the first time I pushed the button. I like it but...hope I never have to use it!

This generator was purchased about a month ago and I am excited because it fits the dual-purpose of having a backup power source for our house, yet is portable enough for our RV. The generator came with clear instructions (rare!) It fired right up after adding oil and gas It runs very quiet

Purchased 1 month ago. Started for the first time and all of the gas ran out the bottom onto my driveway. This generator is very quiet, easy to operate and appears to be well made. Disappointed in the quality control and am requesting a replacement.

I just bought it. Timely delivery, nicely packaged and handled with care for shipping. I took it out of the box followed the easy startup instructions, it started right up and is running great can not wait to get it out camping, and it runs quietly sure it will not bother anybody. I love it so far, the weight of107 lbs is a little heavy for me but will have help to load and unload it while camping

I received the generator promptly after ordering. After connecting battery, adding oil and gas, it started right up. It needs to run 5 hours at no more than 1/2 load to “break in” the engine (good to know… you can’t just start it up and use it for trailer’s a/c). Good purchase.
