Great generator for the trailer!

I did a lot of research to find the best overall generator for camping and finally decided on this one. It will start the A/C on the trailer with no problems. It is also quiet enough to power the heater fan all night in cold weather. To top things off, it can run off propane which can be more convenient than gas at times. The first time I started it, I had it connected to my propane tank and it fired right up using the remote start. It started so easily it was as if it had already been running moments before. Great generator!

Didn't want to leave a review

I didn't want to leave a review because after 2 weeks and 20 hours of use the generator wouldn't start and is in the shop. Those 2 weeks the generator rain flawlessly. Normally if I bought a piece of machinery and this happened I would demanding my money back. The reason I'm not doing that this time is I was very pleased with the generator and it 's performance the 2 weeks it did run. So it's in the shop now being repaired. Once the generator is repaired I believe I will have years of service.

Quiet runs great

Unless I missed something I did not find instructions for setup and break in procedure. It came with oil easy enough just be careful when filling, mine obviously had some oil left in it because it over filled and about 4 oz's leaked out. The remote is clipped onto the recoil cord. Connecting the battery needed channel locks, very tight. Charge the battery through plug in on control panel. Have it running my smoker right now, runs great.

Amazing, Smooth, Quiet, Powerful

After a great deal of research and purchasing (then returning) a bigger, louder competing brand, we are thrilled and extremely impressed with our Westinghouse iGen4500DF Inverter Generator. It is extremely well made, well packaged, clearly well supported, and purrs like a kitten at all power settings. We use it as a backup power source for our entire home, are able to take it with us on the road, and love the user friendly features. Win win win win. Couldn't be happier with our purchase.

Does exactly what it claims

Bought this last year for home back up, camping with our travel trailer, and dirt bike riding trips. It powers our rv 15,000 btu ac easily, it is very fuel efficient just like it claims, and it is so quiet you can easily talk standing beside it. This is a do it all generator and I'm so happy with it. I got the DF version and hooking it up to run on propane is easy. It comes with the tools to hook up to propane. I would buy again if I had to.

Brand New

This generator started right up on the first try and it is quite as advertised. I purchased this item to use during power outages. It has all the power I need to run the important items in the house. I haven't had to use it during a black out to date, but this will give me peace of mind when the power goes off.

A Good Buy

I have only had this iGen4500DF inverter generator for 2 days and have only run it for 30 minutes on propane only. It functions very well and has powered several household items and tools with no problem at all. I have not used it with gasoline so I can not comment on that. I love the remote feature and will use it extensively when camping. It seems like a very well built unit. I also like the built in wheels and extension handle for transporting it, very convenient.

Easy to use

Just purchased so haven't had a lot of use yet but it was very easy to set up with everything supplied that was needed. I added a little gasoline, decided to try the manual start and it started with the first pull! Convenience of electric start is an added bonus. I was able to have a normal conversation with my neighbor who had walked over to see while we were standing only 5 feet away. Duel fuel is a great plus.

Looking Forward to Using

I believe this will be a great unit. As I live in altitude (6.5K'), requiring high altitude kits to operate, so haven't started it up yet. Great packaging and instruction manual. Since altitude kits only go to 6K-7K, wondering how it will run at 9K' where I intend to use it most. Wonder if fuel injection is in the works? I hate the thought of disassembly each time I go somewhere else.

Perfect for RV and home use

I just bought a travel trailer so I did a little shopping and found this to be a pretty great inverter generator. I love the propane feature. Picked it up last night and I already load tested it. Runs everything on my 30 amp travel trailer, including the 15k BTU AC. It double duties as a great emergency generator for my house. Runs everything in my house (within reason), including a couple of window AC units, a refrigerator, and a freezer. No, it won’t run my hot tub (oh well). This is my second Westinghouse generator. The first one is a 7,000 watt which is still like new. I'm giving that one to my son since I bought this one to consolidate my home and RV generator requirements. Absolutely love it!
