Westinghouse iGen 4500 Inverter Generator Review and Field Test 

Purchased same one and I am totally satisfied! Remote start is a total plus!

Purchased one about two years ago. Love it.👍🇺🇸

Sweet vid. Very detailed. Thank you forthe dedicatoin!

I think you did a very good review. I am a newbie, I purchased this generator because I live full time in my RV now and the weather is getting colder, so this will be my back up when the power goes out during winter storms. Again, thanks for the video review!🙂

Great and informative review, thank you so much

Thanks for sharing! Enjoy!

I went with the champion because i didn't wana deal with the choke issue and heard they had some other issues sometimes but my brother in law has the westinghouse and its been problem free he loves it

Very helpful, thanks mate!

Nice generator. I have the same one. The reason I picked it was because it fits under the tonneau cover of my truck, has good grab handles and suitcase style handle, is light enough that I can lift it myself, has good power, and is very quiet. They used to have an issue with the choke cable not being connected but looks like that’s resolved. Good video!

Thanks for a good video

Hi, can this be used to 220V and 110V appliances?

How did you get yours to show 15 hours? I just started up mine for the first time and it won’t show more than 10:30 with nothing plugged.

This has a floating neutral correct? If yes, do you feel confident using it as a stand alone power source to run drills and other tools? Or do you use a neutral grounding plug?

I bought it in 6/2021. She would start and kept choking and coughing. My brothers came down and complained that I bought it and gave me grief about it. So two years later the battery died and it took forever to get a new battery. No one told me I had to charge the battery before installing it. I have been trying to get it fixed for four mintage. Brothers are always busy. It did run in Jan 23 and I was really happy.

excuse my ignorance, but that cord running from the unit to your RV? Wherre do I get that? I am trying to figure out how to plug it from generator to house

why would the auto choke not be plugged in at factory?

What gas you use

For people wanting to know how the noise actually sounds, it’s a lot like an idling four stroke motorbike. Louder than the makers or this video suggests. If it’s running outside, you’ll hear it from inside the average house, but it’s not a horrible noise. The only downside I’ve found so far, is it won’t start at all if the battery’s flat. It requires a small amount of battery charge to allow the auto choke to engage, even if pull starting! If the battery’s flat, you’ll need to jump it to even pull start the unit. I find this a really poor feature, as many old lawnmowers have an auto choke that’s activated by the pull start function. The fact is, when you really need to pull start it, because the battery’s flat, you’ll be out of luck. I assume you could take the dude cover off and move the choke manually if desperate, but what a hassle. Certainly not how this video suggests, and is even stated in the manual, so if you make a video like this, you should at the very least have read the manual!

I have the exact model and its super loud with my ac unit plugged in and it fires back after shutting off.

Just purchased this generator. How has it held up?

Thanks for letting me know their customer service is bad and doesn't answer calls..i was shopping around for a good one, but i won't take a chance with this brand if they don't care about thier customers who make their jobs possible...😒

Have one. Doesn't produce power. Westinghouse customer support has been ignoring me for 5 days already. Disappointing.

Mine has 12 hrs on it, no spark, has to be tci, not available. Isnt that nice. 2000.00 dollar piece of shiyt. Now what???
