I read all the reviews and decided to pull the trigger, picked it up today and it's a balmy 31 out. Added oil & fuel, hooked up the battery and hit the go button! And it fired right up! Sounds great and ran a test tool just fine. Pretty happy at the moment, hopefully it holds up well over the long term.

This generator has a couple of great features that my previous generators had not; The battery start is great! Just push a button and it fires up. The remote is great for when you're starting and stopping more often. This machine is less than half the noise decibels than my previous generators. Two thing I don't care for but are far out-weighed by it's benefits are; the handle for moving it around is awkward and would be easy to re-design. The second is the outside shell is mainly plastic. We'll see how it holds up over the years.

I PCS'd to Japan and bought this generator as a back up during rainy season. The generator is large enough to power appliances in the house. It is not too heavy to use for camping and other recreational activities. The noise level is not bad for a generator of this size.

I made this purchase after my brother purchased this about two weeks ago. The generator is quiet and handles heavy loads well. The quality of the unit along with the directions and supplied accessories shows the quality of a Westinghouse product.

Received my igen4500 several days ago, product was packaged well and everything needed to start was included except gas of course. Instructions on startup was clear and easy. Generator seems to be constructed well and I love the handle, wheels, and especially the remote. The generator started on the second try, understandable because the carb had to fill with fuel. I was surprised at how quite this generator is. I definitely hope to get good service from this machine because I am impressed so far.

Received my generator 2 months after purchase due to the hurricane in Puerto Rico. Everywhere was sold out and back ordered. This generator is pretty quiet when in low energy mode but can be fairly noisy when at full capacity. That's typical of any generator though. It easily runs my AC unit which is why I got the 4500 model. When the AC is not in use this generator handles all my needs with plenty of power to spare. I performed all the startup maintenance and the generator started easily enough. I have since had some minor issues but nothing a competent home mechanic can't figure out. The handle can be awkward to get to on the bottom of the generator. The auto start and remote start features are excellent. As long as the auto choke is working correctly it starts up immediately. This generator is a great value and I would recommend it to anyone who needs reliable portable power.

I have been looking for a generator to power our 38 foot 5th wheel for off grid camping. After a lot of research and reading reviews we decided on the Westinghouse IGen 4500. We ordered on 8/11/2020 and it arrived today 8/19/2020. The box was beat up a little during shipment but the generator was well packed and had no issues. After reading the instruction manual I connected the battery, added the supplied oil and filled the fuel tank with gas. After a few attempts to start it with the electric start it fired right up. I initially plugged in a heat gun and everything worked as it should. I then plugged in our camper to the 30 amp receptical and gave the machine the real test. It had no problem running the AC, refrigerator and microwave with plenty of power left over. The amazing part is just how quiet this thing is. It has certainly beat my expectations and we look forward to many omg the grid camping trips in the near future...Bottom line, this is a great generator with plenty of power.

We've done a lot of research on remote start inverter generators and this one is by far the best we've owned. Super quiet and plenty of power to run our camp (TV, coffee maker, water pump, stove blower, toaster, microwave etc). 3 year warranty is also unheard of. We've owned several Champion generators and glad we made the switch to Westinghouse igen4500!

We bought this to replace our larger 7000 Honda it’s as quiet as the large one and compact it runs our air conditioner and coffee maker at the same time that’s a big plus we do a lot of dry camping I’m by myself sometimes and it’s easy for me to load and unload whereas I could not the 7000 I had to depend on someone else I love this little thing

Came Perfect, no issues out of the box, did the 5 hour break in and everything went well, install of the battery terminal quick connects was a breeze. Nice that it came with a screw on Funnel so your not fighting to keep it in there. This review is for the "Newer" Model 5000c, forces me to leave a review in the 4500c product. 5000c Model had no issue with the "choke" issue many were having on the 4500c from shipping.
