I did a fair amount of research before making my decision to purchase the Westinhouse IGEN4500. My only issue is with the automatic choke sticking from the initial shipping process, however it is an easy fix. This little powerhouse is super quiet. I could her my friends generator from across our camp over the Westinghouse generator. It delivered all the power we asked of it. I look forward to many years of service.
Came in great condition, Followed instructions, Would not start, Called helpline and they picked right up and were amazingly helpful, they emailed me a service bulletin that was pretty easy to follow, Aparently the choke gets stuck after being stored and transported. All I did was move the chock, and it started right up. It has started ever since, I have started it probably 20 times with the push button start and also the included remote control. Seems to work well now. I also ordered the high altitude kit for it that costs $18. For the price this generator is great, and has way more perks than the Honda. My unit came with the 30 amp plug facing the right way, and a remote control. If it will continue to run like it is right know I would give it a 5 star. I am giving it a 3 star just because it would not start at first, and had to call the company.
The iGen4500 is a super quiet inverter generator with high power output. I bought the 4500 to run my camper for offgrid camping. I love the remote start.
We have a Honda Handi 3000 and this as quiet as it. Lots cheaper to buy. Honda $2000 this one $949. This one also has electric and remote start. Honda does not.
