I am a 77-year old woman who bought this r in order to have the ability to boondock with my new travel trailer. This’d is a new world for me and this generator is able to produce everything I could want. I am used to wilderness camping (tent, canoe, backpacks...). This experience is like a 4-star hotel due to this wonderful product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased igen4500 because my dad bought one and I liked his alot. I sold 2 generacs 2200i inverters and purchases this one. after about 1 hour of use the display is no longer showing any load or voltage output when it is in fact running a load. kind of disappointing. Will be calling customer service on monday. will update review after speaking with customer service.

We've used the IGen4500 multiple times on projects and our camper. It performed great and the best part is how quiet it runs. We love the iGen4500. Well worth the money. Thanks Charlie and Kris

Not recommended for first time buyer

Received new generator with noticeable rust at fuel tank neck. Immediately contacted Westinghouse who ensured me this is normal.
Ran generator to make sure every thing worked (using sta-bil added fuel).
Tested generator 2 month later to make sure every thing worked fine before storm season but generator would not maintain power and kept turning off.
Checked online and found service bulletin with instruction on manual fix by opening the cover and manually adjusting choke. So assumed this was known issue and dropped off at local service center.
I am told the carburetor was gummed/dirty and this would not be covered under warranty.
Called up Westinghouse and service rep politely read instructions: for "2 month storage the float bowl has to be emptied of fuel". Not having emptied the fuel from the float bowl broke the generator in 2 month.
Hard to believe that if I had turned on the generator few days earlier, the generator would had work.
The fact that there is a service bulletin that was created to temporary fix this exact problem actually exists suggests there is a model wide quality issue.
Also Westinghouse claiming rusted fuel tank is normal also suggests this model is cheaply made.
Can not recommend for first time generator users. I suspect the rust and carburetor issues are tied.
Also, this generator requires lots of maintenance that must be followed accurately. Being 1 day late will break unit.

Very Quiet and it powers everything that I need it to. I purchased it because it got such good reviews. I only have it for one day and I will do another review after I've used it for a few months.

Quiet Operation and Great Power

I live in Florida and the unit is perfect for pulling at 10BTU AC unit for and your fridge during hurricanes. The unit operation is SUPER quiet compared to my previous emergency Generac Generator. I definitively recommend the unit for emergency and running home essentials.
I would recommend this to a friend!
