Super Quiet

This is my 3rd generator but my first inverter. I can't get over how quiet it is. My wife and I were standing right next to it when I started it for the first time and were able to talk to each other as if it wasn't even on. We can't wait to take it cross country with our new RV.

Worked the first time!

I bought this to run my room air conditioner and recharge my phones/laptops during PG&E's Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). Works great! I am using a propane tank as fuel, since I also have a gas grill. Love the power meter as it show my air conditioner is drawing much less than expected. It makes a little noise, but a lot quieter than any of the other generators in the neighbor hood.

Westinghouse iGen 4500 Dual Fuel Inverter Generato

I own a Westinghouse iGen2500c (gasoline only) inverter generator that I bought to run my Mom's boiler water pump. It has a pull start only but starts every time. It runs very quietly and supplies well more than the boiler motor requires. This 4500DF is for my house which needs to run a 1/2hp blower motor for my forced-air furnace as well as my refrigerator. It was delivered very late in the evening so I haven't had a chance to run it. I will start it tomorrow but knowing it's a Westinghouse, I expect the quality to be 100% as good as the 2500c.

Every feature I was looking for

Bought the generator to power essential appliances during outages and also use for camping / RVing. It has everything I was looking for. It starts easily and is fairly quiet for a generator. I do wish it came with a cheat sheet on the different types of 30amp plugs, but that was an easy internet search.

Arrived yesterday, so far so good

Instructions say in order to drain the oil, remove the fill plug and lay the generator on its side. That is crazy, why not remove the 10mm drain plug bolt and leave the unit in the normal upright position? I have ran my travel trailer with a 15K BTU AC and microwave at the same time using this IGen 4500 DF in the gasoline mode, so far so good. I have put a total of about 20 minutes on this generator.

great looking generator.

I bought this about a week ago, but I have not used it yet. But it looks like a very nice generator, dual fuel with all the bells and whistles. I am very happy with my purchase and I know it is going to run perfectly because I have read reviews of this product and it is nothing but good all the way.

TB's poor power

Off to a bad start

I bought 2 of these a month ago and just got them set up for emergency home power. On one the regulator is bad and neither one seems to have the juice to run a shop fan on propane. Something has to be wrong. I have left a message with WH. I will let you know the outcome. Can't recommend them as of this writing. Hopefully that will change soon.

Priced right and quiet!

We haven't used our Westinghouse generator for very long, but what we have seen so far we love it!! The Honda 3000 we had before just wasn't doing the job but this new Westinghouse takes care of all of our needs. We can't wait to check it out on a really hot day using the RV roof air conditioner.

iGen4500DFc

I purchased this generator to use camping with my RV. I unpacked it, installed the battery and filled it with oil and fuel. It started right up with no issues. I used it to run the air conditioner and a vacuum cleaner while cleaning up the inside of my camper while parked in my driveway. When I switched on the shop vacuum it did cause the overload breaker to trip while running the air conditioner. But I reset it while leaving the vacuum switch on and both the AC and vacuum started right up. So far I have only ran it a few hours with no issues. It is a little louder than I expected, but it is quieter than an open frame generator. Seems like a quality unit.

Quiet!

I purchased 2 weeks ago for my camp trailer with 30 amp plug. Worked very well. Using propane, it ran at just over 25% using the air conditioner. We haul the 24' trailer with a Yukon and did not want to haul gasoline in the trailer or the Yukon since if there was a spill the smell would penetrate and not go away. we are sooo pleased at the quiet use of the IGen4500DF Thanks
