I bought this anticipated loosing power during hurricane Ida. There were many generators to select but I liked the compact size , quite and run time on a tank of fuel. Electric start, even remote start. Plenty output for my needs. Totally satisfied.

Good features: nice generator and fairly quiet. Bad: The generator came with faulty carburetor and the repair took over 3 months. The amount of oil in the bottle that came with the generator is larger than the generator holds, so not knowing that, I've spilled it over. The manual shows wrong picture of the front, so starting it was a challenge.

Living in NC, need to be extra prepared. Just bought this unit based on other positive reviews. Added oil, plugged in battery and it started right up on very first try. Build quality looks good and everything is logically laid out. It's also very quiet for a generator. Time will tell on durability and reliability, but confidence is high as this point.

Westinghouse was so anxious to get a review that they automatically triggered this review at the end of the Warranty Registration process. I have not put oil or gas in it yet. I’m currently reading the owner’s manual. I do like the large carrying handles the transport wheels and the extendable handle. At approximately 100 lbs we can carry it easily where the wheels won’t roll.

I needed to upgrade my Champion 2000 inverter I us in a smaller hunting trailer. After comparing specs and reviews of a similar Champion model to the iGen 4500, the choice was easy. The iGen 4500 holds more fuel and has longer running times. It also has a scrolling screen that provides run time, remaining fuel, amp draw and will also charge it's own battery. I have a much larger RV with AC and this will handle everything I have running and turned on at the same time. It will run all night and I don't have to get up and refill it in the middle of the night. Remote turns it on when you need it and off when you don't want to walk outside when it's cold, rainy or snowing. What more could you ask for.

I purchased this inverter generator to supplement my red 2000i inverter because it just doesn't have the muscle we needed as full-time RV'ers. I am happily surprised by this generator. It is just as quiet as my previous inverter and has more than twice the starting power. I followed the Quick Start Guide to the letter and it was easy, no issues, and the iGen4500 ran on the very first try with the remote fob in less than 10 minutes from unboxing. I completed the 20-hour oil change and it had only minor signs of metal or debris in the oil. I have not had it loaded past 40% but when connected, my multimeter indicates a stable 121 VAC and the engine seems to get less loud the more it runs. I really love the remote start and the value of this unit is excellent. It arrived in perfect condition and is exactly what I expected based on my research. This is not a small generator. It is easily over 115 pounds with fuel in the tank, so understand your limits in this regard. The collapsible handle and wheels make rolling it into place an easy task. The size of this inverter makes lifting it into the bumper mounted tray a task for two normal folks or one very strong person. It will easily start my 13.5K air conditioner and run normal items such as the battery charger/converter, the coffee pot or even our air fryer, but everything has a limit and you should still be careful loading this genset at a safe level in it's recommended range.

Super quiet and great fuel savings. Read instructions and had zero issues with break in procedures. Connected to RV and it ran ac flawlessly all week. Remote works great. Very happy with my purchase. Exact same generator sold as Onan. But much cheaper. Highly recommend this unit!

Bought it a month and 1 day ago. No surprises, was my 2nd generator. Use it to power my RV. it is compact and easy to move with the grab handles and the retractable pull arm. love the options to start it: pull cord, button on the unit and FOB. would recommend this to anyone.

We purchased this unit to power up our travel trailer in the fall of last year but just got around to powering it up this past weekend. We look forward to using it both in the travel trailer and for the house when the power goes out. We love the quietness of this unit and the ease of starting it. Three options to start: Pull chord, push button and remote. As senior citizens, ease of operation is imperative.

I have been looking at a variety of different generators to power my new 5th wheel. This isn’t something I will use very often - maybe 2 or 3 times a year when boon-docking. I have had generators in the past and seldom used them do to noise levels and weight, so both were important considerations for me. I wanted something that I could carry on the back of my 5th wheel when needed (easy to load and unload) and be able to setup 50 feet away and not know it is running. While I haven’t had much time to run the new Westinghouse iGen 4500, I have to say I am impressed so far. Unboxing and setup was very straightforward. Added gas and oil, connected the battery and fired it up. I started small with the load - first a light, then a power tool until I got it up to what I thought was operating temperature. Then the big test - connected the 5th wheel in order to try the main 15k AC unit. I should note that I installed an internal EMS power protection unit on the 5th wheel and got an error code as soon as I connected the generator. Being very familiar with electricity and electronics, I immediately knew what the problem was - floating neutral. I was disappointed that the instruction manual doesn’t address this. After tying the neutral to ground (search YouTube for directions), the 5th wheel came to life. I ran the generator through a number of different power scenarios and it handled all of them very well. Noise levels were very acceptable in my opinion. I didn’t find the suitcase handle to be very user friendly. For me, it is easier to pick it up by the two handles and load it on a custom rack on the back of my 5th wheel. Overall, I am very impressed with this generator. Only time will tell for durability and dependability.
