Bought this generator to use camping in toy hauler camper. Like how the plug is 30 amp camper plug instead of twist lock, no adaptor needed. Very quiet. Awesome fuel consumption. Burned exactly 1 gallon of fuel every 4 hours after I averaged out the 15 gallons of gas I used and the 60 hours I put on generator over the weekend.

Solid Generator

Purchased generator for use with an IceCastle/RV where AC would not be available. No problems with the auto choke wire harness - it was properly seated. Engine break-in was a non-event. Minimal metal observed in oil changes. Oil drain plug is a little awkward to get to. It might be easier if the oil change access panel was larger. At around 100 lbs, it does not feel like a cheap, lightweight unit. Telescoping handle is a neat feature for moving the unit. The two handles on top seem to be solid when picking up the unit. During testing with the RV, this model was able to run all the appliances and air conditioner unit with ease. This unit is pretty quiet for a generator. You can carry on a conversation with the unit running close by. Very little change in noise when running at about a 55% load. I expect to get a long service life from this generator.

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...

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.
