I’ve owned this generator for 2 years now. I do change the oil after large outings. We just returned from a week long trip where it was in constant use for 5 days during some higher Texas temperatures. We turned it off only when leaving camp and for refueling. We were complimented multiple times on how quiet it was. After 2 years of use, it didn’t even so much as stutter.
My only recommendations would be for the addition of oil change tubes to allow for cleaner oil changes (I added aftermarket products myself). Otherwise, this has been a fantastic product for us!
I bought this generator because it handled all the power requirements in my race car trailer and had the remote on/off key fob. Now my son don’t have to go outside to shut off the generator at night after a late movie. He is happy!
I did my research and found this Westinghouse iGen 4500 was the top rated portable generator I am in shock at the quality of this product. Fill with fuel and oil and just push a button and it fired right up. So quiet! They thought of everything when it comes to connections. It doesn't get any easier or more convenient than this.
