This generator seemed to be the best "bang for the buck" for a big inverter unit. Once full of and fueled up, it fired right up and ran smooth and quiet. We connected it to our RV, turned on the 15000btu AC, and the generator barely grunted as the AC kicked on. I think we're gonna LOVE this generator!

I've only used this product a few times in the time that I've owned it and I love it. Its nice and quiet and doesn't seem to use a ton of fuel while in use. To be fair I haven't even come close to making it put out all of the power its capable of but that time will come soon now that its getting warm out and ill be using it to run my A/C in my RV. The only problems (1st World) I can think of as of right now is that the remote start is very laggy and sometimes doesn't work at all. Another thing that concerns me is not knowing if the generator also charges the on-board battery while its running. I couldn't locate this information in the owners manual. So that for me brought it down from a 5 star to 4.

Bought primarily for RV power in primitive camps. Will do a good job of running AC appliances and keeping battery charged. May get a second one to parallel power to house in case of outage. Well pleased with it. One suggestion: Owner manual says to siphon fuel from tank. Should also mention that there is a screen cup in filler neck that will have to be removed before tube can be inserted. Most people probably figure this out but a heads-up about this would be helpful. My model not listed in drop down box. It is a 2200ixlt

I bought this after the winter storm in Texas.. I was able to get in cracking within 15 minutes.. I did have to charge the battery, for a bit since it wasn't starting with the push button. I ended it up starting it manually and so far it has work.. I have only run it for about 30 minutes, and so far it seems to be generating power.

I bought this generator for a camping trip without power at the beach and it worked great. Nice and quiet with remote start and stop. Plan on taking with me on my summer camping trips and don’t have to worry about not having power or being to loud for people camping nearby.

Right out of the box, the generator started perfectly. We turned it off, and tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't start. Did a quick search online and found that during rough transit, there are some connectors behind the front and (right) side panel that can become disconnected and cause the model not to start. Removed the panels, connected the wires up, put it back together and it started right up again! Still giving it 5 stars, because I can't fault Westinghouse for connectors coming undone during shipment. That said, I do wish the above fix had been included in the "troubleshooting" section of the owner's manual. Works as advertised, no complaints.

I did some research and decided on the Westinghouse IGEN4500. It's a great size for our needs to go camping and/or as home back up for power outages. I ordered it online and it arrived packaged well and started on the first try. So far I've only ran the break in 5 hour period and a mock run for a power outage. Performance was excellent! Thanks Westinghouse, Larry

I just unpack this igen4500. it was missing the battery cover. I email for a replacement. we will see. I have a honda eu3000 and needed more power, the honda is a little quieter, but much heavier and twice the cost. and its hard to compare to a honda as for reliability considering I have not used it yet. i love the remote start and the auto choke.

Only had it for one day and it started right up. After doing a little break-in I hooked up my camper and ran the AC. I even tried the microwave. The generator ran both at the same time no problem. Hope I get many years of great service. Really like the remote start, Unit looks like it is well built. I'm happy with my choice.

Would not start right out of the box. Found the choke wire was routed too tight from the factory, so it came unplugged in shipping. I rerouted the wire and plugged it in… Runs absolutely perfect now. The remote start is awesome!!! I waited to give this review so I could use it and see how it did. turns out, it is much more than I expected it would be. I would recommend this product to anyone… In fact, I already have and he just ordered one last week
