I have not had an occasion to use the lgen4500 but having it provides me with an added sense of security. Knowing I have power when needed and that this generator will start when it is needed.
The product did not work when it arrived. After trying all the troubleshooting tips and sitting on hold with customer service, I found multiple YouTube videos all saying the same thing. I had to pop off the panels (which are not easily done) and found that a cable arrived unattached that controlled the idle. I plugged that in and everything has worked great since. It's a really nice unit, I just don't like that I had to take it apart new out of the box to get it to work.
Had it for 2 weeks ran 2 heat and load cycles so far and multiple oil changes. No choke issues. And starts right up. Changed out plug right away for an ngk equivalent
Break in period is 5 hours of less then 1850 watts. So ran a small fan on it for that time. Shows estimated run time, gallons/liters left in tank, and watts being used. it was 70db next to the generator when about 20 feet away it was 60db. Can take synthetic or oil provided. When no load on the unit it would turn off in a few minutes. Haven't tried it on the RV yet, but has 30 amp output, the regular plugs are 20 amp output.
I purchased my Westinghouse generator six months ago. It was very easy to follow the directions to fill oil fuel in understanding the instrumentation panel. I highly recommend this generator it runs my RV AC! And is very quiet!
