Excellent Generator

I just received my my iGen4500DF yesterday. Filled the oil, put in a few gallons of ethanol free gasoline and hooked up to propane... it started right up on the gasoline and then i switched to propane. Ran perfect on both. I plugged in two 1500 watt heaters into each of the 20amp receptacles. The engine ramped up under load as expected and ran great powering both and showing 2.9 kw on the display. This thing is awesome. Will make an excellent power supply for my mobile dj sound equipment.... also plan to use camping and for emergencies.

How to decrease the hieght of the unit

I want to install the unit in a secure 36x20x20 diamond plate box, bolted to a cargo carrier on my RV with room for two 40lb propane tanks and a flexible exhaust pipe and venturi chimney that parallels (and is supported by) the ladder up and beyond the roof line. The unit height is 20. Can I get an inch or two height decrease by removing the rear wheels, front bumpers and maybe the handle? Anyone have a photo of the bottom?

Pleasantly surprised igen4500df

After much review I settled on this generator during a Black Friday sale. So far excellent. Easy set up, the digital gauge for power usage, fuel remain time , volts etc is a great feature. Comes with everything needed to be up and running in minutes. Also very quiet which is an added bonus.

iGen5000DFc looks and feels well made.

This generator was delivered with no issues. My primary use will be for my camper that has 30AMP service so I went with one sized that should run everything. My debate was choosing one easy to load or sized to handle my needs and I decided I can figure out a way to make it easy to load. It shipped ready to go just by adding oil and they made that process easy to do. All 3 ways to start the generator work without issue and the recoil start works very smoothly. It hasn't been used yet with a large load, but I will use it for some home projects to get past the break in time and then it will be tested with my camper. I first looked at generators for home backup power and with the option of running this in parallel with another generator gives me some options for home backup power.

Beefy generator

I bought this generator at the beginning of 2020, used it many times, worked flawlessly. Always ran on propane. There was a recall due to gasoline leakage, and Westinghouse paid to have mine shipped back, and sent me a brand new one. Now the new one, I expect, will be as flawless as the other one. Powers everything on my RV with power to spare. Very happy with it.

Initial observations are great!

Just opened the box and have not operated this generator yet. I have researched generators for the past couple of years and decided to go with the Westinghouse iGen4500DF. This generator arrived well packaged, feels solid, and appears to be very well made. The user manual and quick start guides are very clear. I wanted a generator for RV camping and to run critical home appliances during a power outage. The dual fuel option was a must have and this generator certainly gives me a sense of security for my family in case of a SHTF situation. Can't wait to get it broke in and operational.

Excellent product!!

This generator started right up and ran perfectly. I was so glad I made this purchase as we had a power outage that evening. Kept my freezer and fridge running plus gave us some lighting. Worked so well that I am going to purchase and install a transfer station so during the next outage the transition from power company to generator is seamless. A Great Product!!

Lots of features packed into this compact generato

I bought this unit to provide temporary power on my new home construction site. So far, so good. I've only run the unit on propane, but it's started up every time. Only comment is that I wish the provided propane hose was 2ft longer than it is. I have incorporated the generator, propane supply and accessories container onto a heavy duty garden cart. It's my "Power Wagon"!

Works great

I have been meaning to purchase generator for years and a recent brief power outage I finally did it. I researched my options and chose the Westinghouse 4500DF. I like the dual fuel option as I'm likely to have one or both fuel options on hand in when I need to use the generator. The set up was easy and the unit started right up. I also like that it's pretty quiet when running.

Awesome DF Generator

I borrowed my sons 4500 inverter generator a couple of weeks ago and was so impressed with it that I came home and ordered this one for myself. It is super quiet, I even ran a decibel reading comparison between this 4500 dual fuel model and the Honda 2000 EU model and they were within one decibel of each other. Best Gen ever.
