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.

I just bought this and the setup and startup was easy. It started right up. I tested it on our camper and power tools. Ran great with plenty of power. I bought this unit because of the good reviews, price and how quiet it was supposed to be. It was all of that. Can't wait to take it out camping

I did my research and found this Westinghouse iGen 4500 was the top rated portable generator I am in shock at the quality of this product. Fill with fuel and oil and just push a button and it fired right up. So quiet! They thought of everything when it comes to connections. It doesn't get any easier or more convenient than this.

I researched generators after going through a winter storm and losing power for 13 days. The iGen4500 had great reviews and is the perfect size for running refrigerator, freezer, propane heater, coffee pot, TV and a few lights next time we have a power outage. The generator started right up after I added oil and gas. Runs very quiet.

Received this as a gift. Put in the oil and gas and it started right up. This is replacing a Ryobi 2200 that I bought for my travel trailer. The generator is well built and the owner's manual is well-written, which is not always the case with power products. This will be a big improvement over the Ryobi. I can't wait to take it out camping.

We finally got to take this out on a dispersed camping trip. We took 6 gallons of gas, but only put 1 gallon in to start off with. At the rate we used it, the 1 gallon lasted the three days and ran quietly. Although we didn't run equipment long, it ran our 15,000 BTU AC unit, charged the battery, and ran the accessories. It ran quiet enough that the people around didn't complain. Loved the remote start. I didn't think I would need it, but it was really handy. Would definitely buy again, just need to see how long it lasts.

Received this generator as a gift during Hurricane Helene. We were without power for eleven days. I powered only what was necessary: refrigerator, radio, lamp and coffee maker. I rested the generator during the night for 6 hours. On approximately 3 1/2 gallons of fuel and economy setting, I could go for nearly 20 hours of run time. Wonderfully quiet unit. Never missed a beat.

I was concerned that the noise from any generator would bother my neighbors, but this generator is so quiet it won't disturb anyone (quieter than a distant-sounding lawn mower). I hooked up a 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner and then tried an 1,100 watt microwave, and this generator handled them each with no problem. Even though it weighs about 100 pounds, the wheels and handle make it easy to move around. It also isn't too large, which is nice for storage in my garage. The remote on/off feature is nice and the unit starts up easily with it. I live in Northern California where PG&E now shuts off power temporarily when there is a threat of fires during red flag conditions. It's good to be prepared now, in case that happens in my neighborhood in the future. I am pleased with my purchase and have already recommended this generator to others.

Everything, but the gas and fuel stabilizer came with it. It was in perfect shape. I followed the simple instructions and within 15 minutes had it running and powering our trailer. It's super quiet. We can't wait to use it next week on a boondocking trip.

came via drop shipping as scheduled without damage. Easy to unbox and assemble. Remote start works great and is very convenient. Produces plenty of power and doesn’t bog down with high surge loads. Gas shutoff is easy to access. Included instructions were clear on how to convert the generator to a floating neutral
