Love the propane option

I bought this a year ago. Finally took it out of the box and used for off the grid camping with horses. I didnt want to bring gas so I opted for propane. It worked really well. Started right up each time. I will say the fit and finish isn’t the greatest but for the power and options, this is a good machine to purchase. I haven't tried the gas yet but for what I used it was perfect around horses. It is louder than my friends Champion, but this is also a larger unit and it was still decently quiet.

Starts right up

Just got this unit to run parallel with my iGen 2500. I am adding high altitude kits to both generators since I’m in Colorado at almost 6,000 ft. Look forward to getting lots of use out of these and being ready for any power outages. Gotta keep that refrigerator and freezer chest running.

Pleasantly quiet and easy to use

After running my older full-frame generator which is very loud, I was pleasantly surprised (even after reading reviews that the generator was quiet) how quiet the generator was. Also I was impressed that the generator noise level adapts to the amount of load being placed on it, so it can be really quiet with smaller loads. I also liked how easy it was to start and shut down, and the handle and wheels makes it easy to move around. So far, I love this generator!

Great Portable Generator

I have multiple Westinghouse generators so when I needed another my go to was a Westinghouse. This new IGen4500 is sleek, easy to move with the rollers and extendable handle, and easy to use with the front panel interface. I am excited to get this bad boy up and running

Predator can’t compete

Bought this and 2 more. Another 5000c and a 1500c. All 3 work flawlessly and I could not be more pleased. Outperforms by neighbors Predator and he paid twice what I did. (Idiot) The dual fuel will be especially useful when gas is scarce because the station have no power to pump it like after the hurricane last year.

Great generator

Bought this generator based off of reviews on igen4500. My requirements when searching for a generator were dual fuel and inverter type. Havent used this generator much yet but so far so good. Performs as expected and at very acceptable noise levels.

Best combination of features and value.

Only dual-fuel generator with remote start. Feature rich; (electric start, included battery charger, allows switching between propane and gasoline while running, has load indicator, hour log, etc. Tested running 2.5HP 10in wet saw, angle grinder, shop vac, and various other appliances at same time. No problems.

Running great so far...

I haven't owned this generator very long, but it seems to be holding up. It has stuttered under load a bit but it is new and was running in the cold, so the oil may be a little more viscous and affect performance? I'll try to update this review after more use if necessary.

Was worried about how loud it was at first.

When we first started it in our back yard, it was very loud. Luckily it was because it was surrounded by fences and our house. We moved it to the front yard and it was much quieter. The remote has worked properly the few times we have used it, and the running off propane is working great. Once we get a couple more hours on it I plan to swap the included oil out and try normal gas. The eco mode ramps up perfectly, and it powered our test 1500w heater perfectly fine. Looking forward to using it on our RV.

Westinghouse iGen5000DFc Generator

I just bought this Westinghouse Generator after Hurricane Helene, because I was caught off guard and almost 3 days without electricity, very easy to configure, it is not that heavy, and its functions are easy to understand, I loved starting with the remote control, I also tried starting from the electric button, I highly recommend it, it is an investment that you will not regret.
