iGen4500 Inverter Portable Generator
Incredibly Fuel Efficient and Super Quiet Engine Performance
Powered by an exceptionally quiet, fuel-efficient 224cc Westinghouse engine with automatic low oil shutdown. An advanced active throttle system adjusts engine speed to produce only the power needed for the load being demanded of the generator, creating incredible fuel efficiency with up to 18 hours of run time at 25% load on full tank of gas (fuel tank size is 3.4 gallons). Because the engine is not constantly running at full speed, operation noise can be as low as 52 decibels.

The battery had plenty of power when I unboxed the generator and the electric start works like a charm. The very first start-up predictably took a bit of cranking (maybe 15 seconds), but ever since the first run, it starts instantly whether the engine is hot or cold. Even when using the recoil starter to crank by hand, it starts on the very first pull!
The engine increases power very smoothly as you add electrical loads. Since I am still in the break-in period, I am only taking it to 50% power, but it just never surges and runs very predictably and the power output seems to be quite smooth so far.
The noise level in Eco mode is really low and remote control work perfectly. The retractable handle work very well for moving the generator.
Small things I like: Having the digital display is nice. I like the rubber cover/mat around the fuel filler cap. The instruction booklet is well written – been a very long time since I had seen instructions using clear layout and clear language and in good English.
One gripe I have that other reviewers have also raised: Filling engine oil is a bit of a chore/messy and reading the dipstick or even reinserting/screwing in the dip stick is a bit awkward.
Overall, so far am quite pleased with my purchase!
The electric and remote start of this unit make it a breeze to operate and I highly recommend opting for the remote start capable version of the 4500 for this reason.
If you do need to pull start, the unit pull-starts easily and without issue. I made sure my spouse can do it if I’m not around and the clearly labeled instructions on the unit make it simple to get this up and running by any skill level human.
It is a heavy unit, but the extendable hand cart and wheels make moving it a breeze. 10/10 - recommend the Westinghouse brand. Worth the premium price.
This product exceeded my expectations on the quietness and ease of use. I plan to use it only with propane but it's nice to be able to fall back on gasoline if necessary. Very simple to operate and the remote start is great. I opted to use synthetic 5W/30 instead of the conventional 10W/30 that came with the generator. I think using the synthetic oil and propane should keep the engine cleaner in the long run. Having only previous experience with the super loud conventional generators, I was a little nervous about the sound level of this generator before I bought it, but all the reviews I read said it was very quiet as generators go and they were right. You can have a conversation standing next to the gen while it's running so I'm not as concerned about annoying my neighbors with the sound, as I might be that my lights are on during a power outage and theirs are not 😉
The LED readout is nice too to help keep on eye on various gen functions / info. The generator feels well built and well thought out with all the features it offers. I did a lot of research and read a lot of product reviews before choosing this generator. I believe this is a quality product from a Manufacturer with a lot of electrical history behind them, and am very happy with my choice of this generator so far.

(1) Very quiet. (2) Works as described. (3) You will need to try and start it, even without using the pull cord, a few times on 1st start. (4) CO ALARM is super IMPORTANT and great. (5) Comes with most everything you need except the fuel. (6) Good power with relative portability.
Tips:
(0) I'm new and at times an idiot, so take with lots of salt. (1) START WITH PROPANE for first use. Stick with propane if you can. Gas is a lot more maintenance. (2) Grab a funnel for adding oil. what they provide is decent, but will just make your life easier. (3) Point that exhaust away, do not use indoors, and maybe a good size fan to blow the exhaust away from you. That CO is no joke. If you feel dizzy or light-headed, get away for a bit. Do NOT use indoors. Or even on a porch or in a garage. (4) Check out YouTube videos on manually fixing or changing the choke, but they mention this in the manual. (5) You can buy a tiny drain hose extension.
The Bad:
(1) The handle is cheap plastic. It works, but it's not very durable. (2) Manual is a tad inaccurate in places (digital read out, for example), but still SUPER easy to follow and use. (3) Choke may need manual adjusting, but the instructions (as well as YouTube) can help you out.
OVERALL:
For all it does, it's pretty remarkable. Minor qualms at best.
