We bought this after looking at many other generators. We settled on this due to the features and price. It only has a couple of days use, but we are very pleased so far...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Generator I4500/3700

Likes- Easy set up and break in, I like how it comes with a screw on funnel for the oil no mess or over filling. Absolutely love the remote on/off feature. As we do a lot of dry camping with cold mornings Love the large fuel take as it runs several hours without having to refuel, It is extremely quiet on eco mode. I really like the digital display. I bought this in June and used for the 1st time over the July 4th.
Issues during 1st use. went dry camping used for about 4 hrs. to run our AC to cool off the RV ran fine no issues after turning it off for about 3 hrs. when I started it back up it acted like it was lacking power, then the red overload light came on even though nothing was hooked up. i removed side panel to access the carb thinking maybe the choke was stuck that seemed fine, I drained all the fuel thinking bad gas nope, it got dark so I called it a night. Next morning I started it back up ( it starts right up just no power ) I try everything can think of, fuel, air filter, spark plug all seem fine as I am listening to it run I notice and hear a hissing sound coming from the exhaust I noticed a screen over the exhaust and think ok maybe it is plugged as I go to remove the screen it has a larger funnel screen inside ( i assume it is a spark arrester ?) it is completely caked in black soot ( not sure why after just 4 hrs of use) I remove the whole thing firepit up runs perfect. 2nd Issue is this will not start in the cold mornings, ( choke I believe is not operating properly ) I have to remove the side panel every morning to move the choke manually to get it to start. I now will be contacting Westinghouse to take it in to get it fixed. I will let you know how that process goes.

Powerful and quiet, last all day and night

I bought this unit about 1 year ago and I've used it around 6 times. Not once has it let me down or even hicupped. The power is great. It runs my entire Rv travel trailer with a 30 amp a/c unit all day and night and I still have 5 hours left on it when I wake in the am. Super fuel efficient and quite. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I got this about 1 week ago took it out for the first time over the 4 of July it worked perfectly. Very quite and it ran my micro wave and air conditioning with no problem. Every one was jealous the only thing is it is 98 lb but I need one to do everything so it had to be that side very satisfied
