LOVE IT !

Just received this item 2 days ago, power went out last night due to ice storm. It’s running both refrigerators, lights, TV and other stuff . It’s not so loud you can’t hear your self think. NOTE, it does have some sound do it . But not over powering. But overall, it’s seems well built . And working great

Well Engineered

I have been looking for over 6 months for a Generator with the features that I needed for my recreational use. I found it with this Generator. Once I received it, I was surprised by the extra little things that came with it. For one a tool kit for the Generator. How often do you get that anymore. It also came with a bottle of Oil and a funnel. The unique thing about the funnel is that it screws into the oil fill, so I had no mess when I added the oil. This unit also has a remote start which is hard to find in a duel fuel model. I followed the quick start instructions and within minutes had it running on Gasoline and then on Propane. Ran as expected and was very quite. Great Job Westinghouse. Will be telling my friends what to get.

Overall, a great product

Just received the unit and installed it. Everything is great, except filling in the motor oil is messy. The funnel neck is not long enough and it is difficult to pull in oil without spilling it. Also, can't tell how much oil is just enough to fill the tank but not to overflow it. I would suggest to provide the exact amount of oil so that the new user knows how much it is needed.

More portable than expected

This dual-fuel generator is more portable than you might expect. My husband and I were able to lift it out of the box using the built-in handles; but the real treat was the integrated collapsible handle and the wheels which made this unit very maneuverable. Love the dual fuel option; it switched easily from propane to gas when we shut off the propane valve.

very quite on propane

ran the item on propane and its flawless. Super quite machine and just a beast when it comes to power output. Love the digital readout and the electric start. Handles on the top make it easy for loading into the back of a pickup. Westinghouse really did a good job designing this unit

Just Purchased

Looks great out of the box, took my time to read the Manual so I feel good about starting it up for the first time. The screw in funnel is a nice feature for adding oil without a mess. I had 2 Yamaha generators that I sold to pick this up mainly because the of the dual fuel capability for camping and I love the electric start! Also really like the telescope handle to move it around with ease.

Runs great

I use generators all day 4-5 days per week to power my mobile grooming trailer and recently made the switch to these and I’m overall impressed so far. My one and only complaint so far is that you have to turn the battery switch off at the end of every day or it drains the battery and you can’t start the generator. This is the only brand I’ve ever had to do this so obviously it’s taking me a little while to get used to remembering that it’s switched off every day, but other than that it has been great so far.

iGen4500DF

I just got this generator, after looking and researching for months. I wanted something big enough to run AC, Vent Fan, Microwave, lights, and TV in my fifth wheel. I went with the dual fuel in case I run out of gas, I will have propane to run it till I get to a gas station. I love the remote start, a must on my check list. I have broke the generator in already and have tested the AC, vent fan, and microwave, internet router, lights, and TV and it only hit 75% load. I am very happy with the unit.

Love Remote Start & Running On Propane

I bought the IGEN4500DF for RV boondocking and home backup power. Love the remote start when in the RV and I can connect it to my remote propane port at the rear of my trailer. It's very quiet near idle and fairly quiet even when running at full bore. This is only only generator I could find with propane, auto-choke and remote start. Very happy with the purchase!

Super quiet!

Researched the entire market before buying this generator. The Westinghouse was the quietest and had the best warranty. Great price too. Brought the generator home and it started right up after setup. Can't wait for summer to use this generator at the camp ground. This generator is super quiet!
