Generator is as expected

We followed the quick start guide and started on propane. The unit was as quiet as I expected. There were 2 features I didn't expect, a charge port on the front panel and an efficiency button. When actuated this feature appears to lower engine RPM for anticipated lower loads. I think. This wasn't documented in the manual. There was no damage due to shipping. So far, I'm happy with this purchase.

Good features

I just bought this and have ran it for the break in time. Idle fluctuated at first using gas but leveled out. Propane ran very well. Not sure how accurate eco mode is. It says it is suppose to run a minimum rpm to save fuel but there was very little difference in sound.

Great Product

I bought this generator for our camper, we decided to go with dual fuel because if we have the option available, we would rather use propane than put gas through. We read the manuals and filled it up with oil and it started within seconds of hitting the push start. We did run it strictly by itself for an hour and changed the oil in it, per previous posts and research, glad we did, just the break-in period creating a lot of shiny metals specs in the oil. After, we hooked it up to the camper and turned on a few small things since it should only be 50% load for the first 5 hours. We did end up changing oil again and still had a good bit of metal shiny specs in the oil, so I would just check your oil often and maybe change a bit more frequently. Great machine though!

IGen4500 DF_ER

I purchased this product to replace my Champion Generator. The IGen4500 has so far worked flawlessly right out of the box. It is considerably lighter and better built than my current genset. After the break in period we camped in the Northeast for over five days and the IGen4500 powered our RV and all its accessories. We are taking out again in a few weeks for a longer trip and I expect meeting and exceeding my needs and expectations.

Great Features

Opened the box, put oil in and started right up on propane. Used the push button to start first then the remote. Added a quick disconnect to the propane line to make it easier. I also like the AC battery trickle charger. my Champion 3500DF doesn't have this and the battery won't start the generator have to use the pull start. Going to install Micro-Air soft start on the AC unit. I bought this unit from company that offered 3 year warranty

Very Quiet

Just bought this and have only run it on propane so far, using it in several applications around the property. It set up quickly and runs great. It is very quiet. You can stand next to it and have a conversation. Very happy with it so far. We just have to find some way to store, and keep with the generator, the attachments and other necessary items that came with it. I am thinking some kind of string backpack that can attach to the handle. It would be awesome if the cover had a pocket for these things.

So far so good!

I just unboxed this product and fueled it up - after watching a quick Youtube video, I was able to connect the battery, add the oil, and get it started! I plugged it into my camper and was thrilled to learn that it was able to power everything, including the AC, Fridge, and Lights at only 50% capacity. Very happy with my purchase and looking forward to taking it camping this weekend!

Great working extremely "QUIET" power tool!!!

Did a lot of research as to what generator to purchase for working on rustic cabin with no electricity. Had my sights on the Westinghouse iGEN 4500 and knew I needed to get one! We had a storm blow through and knocked out my power at my house so had to act fast. Found one, hooked it up to frig and 21 cubic ft. freezer for nearly 56 hours straight and ran like a CHAMP. A single full gas tank was good up to 21 hours....Purrs like a kitten but powerful as a Lion!!! Love this unit and highly promote anyone in need of generator to buy this model!!! Very Satisfied customer here!!! RDL 8-18-2021

excellent generator

I've only used it one time so far, but performed excellent. I will say the manual is incorrect saying to add the entire bottle of oil, however had i read the quick start guide, it tells you to add the oil until its full. I guess ill blame overflowing the oil on myself for not reading everything first!! FYI, the entire bottle of oil will overfill the generator!!! After cleaning up the oil mess, I connected the propane and it fired up first try with the remote. I let it run for a few minutes, shut it down, and restarted, again first try. I then hooked up my RV and started turning things on. I had a 15000 btu air conditioner, residential refrigerator, two fans, one air purifier, and the inverter for 12 volt lighting all going with no problem. Decided to kick on the microwave just to see what it would do. It did run it, but maxed it out, so i turned it off. I am super impressed with this generator and all the features, and am hoping it has a long service life.

everything I hoped it would be.

I just bought this generator and so far I couldn't be happier. The box came intact with nothing missing. It is quieter than I thought it would be. It purrs like a kitten on propane and gas. I am breaking it in now, but I can't wait to attach it to my rv and go camp somewhere in the boondocks.
