Super quiet and efficient! Runs my 13,500 BTU AC!

This is the second Westinghouse inverter generator that I've purchased. First one is a WH2000iXLT that I use around the farm for running power tools as needed. Was so pleased with the quality that I bought the iGen4500DF to run the AC in my horse trailer. The generator's extremely quiet (and efficient!). Can start it with the remote & run it off of gas and when empty, switch it over and continue running on the propane bottles. Great value! You get a lot for your money with this unit.

Very quiet

I finally was able to get this generator on 6/17/21. It has been on backorder for a while. So far so good I ran 10 minutes on gasoline and another 10 minutes on propane. I am going to use Rec fuel plus add Marine stable. Doing everything I can do to ensure no water in the gas. And stabilization of the gas so it will last longer. Note the owner's manual says to dump in the whole container of oil which is .63 quarts. Do not do it because it will overfill. My estimates are that it's probably at about.55 quarts. After the break-in oil because I live in Southwest Florida I am going to follow the recommendation of stepping up to an oil way to 15 w40 because we are pretty much always over 80 degrees in Florida. Also I am a believer in the manual States you can use synthetic. The push button start works great and the auto start on the fob works great. It came packaged well with no damage. This will be used strictly for our Villa for power outages and for the risk of hurricanes. For maintenance I plan to run once a month for at least 20 minutes under load

Exactly what I wanted, quiet with dual fuel

I bought this to take to hunt camp and just regular camping. Item arrived, filled with oil and gas and immediately started up, switched to propane and didn't skip a beat. Another great feature was the remote start. When it gets really cold here in Colorado, it will be nice to have that feature.

Works great.

We purchased this generator for our camping trips and for using around the house for projects or when the electricity goes out. I took it out of the box, filled it up with oil and ran it on propane and it started up the first time. I love the remote start. The weight of it isn't to bad for me loading it into the back of the pickup, but my wife said if she had to load it, she would need help. It runs quiet and is much quieter than other generators that were running in the campground. Great product and would recommend.

Quiet, nice features

Purchased this unit just a few weeks ago, but so far am quite happy with the product and its performance. Started right up from propane tank on second start cycle. I have not had any power outages where I had to use the generator, but I have test run several appliances and power tools to see how it performs. So far everything as expected. I appreciate the layout of the gauges and ports in front. The power percent usage gauge is a nice bonus and seemed to match with the wattage from the equipment and appliances that I was testing. I could see when it comes time to drain the oil it could be a bit messy, but am working on a way to mitigate that. So far overall very satisfied. Would give it a 4.5 star rating.

Having both gas and propane fuel sources is great

I purchased this generator as a backup for when we loose power I have not had a chance to use it for a power outage yet. However, I have run it for the break in period. I have been very pleased with the ease of use and the amount of power it has. Overall, I am very happy with it.

Everything as Advertised!

Purchased this unit in August and following directions, regarding adding oil and connecting the battery, I connected it to propane and it started right up.Ran smooth and quiet. I hooked it up to our trailer and it ran the A/C no problem. I have no doubt it will power everything in the trailer with capacity to spare.

Should be great for camping

Bought the igen4500DF for use powering my camper, and in the event of power outage at my house. The size fit perfectly in my camper storage compartment and it ran the microwave without a problem; it is extremely quite, even at 50% load (max tested so far)! Since I bought this generator in November, I have to wait till next year to test it's capability running the 13.5K btu air conditioner, but suspect it will run flawlessly. I only wish it came with more instruction pertaining to the open ground / floating neutral, maybe even include a ground stake.

Great Features and light weight

I bought this unit a couple of months ago and love it so far. It will be primarily used for camping, but also will give me peace of mind at home this winter for power outages. unit runs very well and is not loud at all, havent run on propane yet but will have a tank on hand in case of emergences

Extremely Quiet!

Simply the Ultimate in Quiet Power and Convenience! I purchased this for powering my travel trailer AC & recharging it's batteries, as well as for home essentials during power outages. Running on both Gasoline and Propane is just Awesome! Even has a Great Remote Start!
