After years of owning a smaller inv/gen, we decided to upgrade. Based on several weeks of comparison shopping, we decided on the Westinghouse iGen 4500, and am very pleased. With more power and quieter operation than many others, this is the machine for me. The only downfall are the relatively small wheels (The ruts and roots in the northwoods are sometimes more than the wheels can handle).
We purchased this to power our travel trailer and to take boon docking. The best feature is the remote start! It worked wonderfully when we used it with our trailer. Everything worked as stated and it couldn't have been easier to start and operate! And the noise level is very doable, no complaints from any neighbors! Very happy with this product:)
I bought my generator just in case of an extended power outage due to any sever weather, like hurricane Sally in 2020 which hit close by. I just want to be able to run our standing freezer, lights, a standing fan & a couple of light electronic units. I have tested it by running the freezer & a table lamp for about 5 minutes and didn't see any issue! Overall I am very happy.
Didn’t think I’d receive this generator with the known issue of a bad choke system. I figured after reading the reviews of a year ago this would have been remedied. Not so. Had to remove the air filter and stuck my finger in the choke hole to get it to start. After that it fired up on repeated occasions that day. Went out the next morning and got the same result of no starting. Will put a request into Westinghouse like many others and hope to get a fix it response. This has all the features of a good generator and I’m not disappointed about getting it, bugs in everything these days.
