Highly recommended (at this time)

I nearly purchased a competing inverter generator but chose this unit because it has: a) Much higher power output for the same cost; b) dual fuel -- VERY useful!; and c) Positive reviews including from my brother-in-law. I've only tested it so far (for about 30 minutes on about 2000 watt load) but it worked flawlessly on both fuel types. If it continues to function this way in the future, I will be a VERY pleased owner. (I wish I was as satisfied with the review webpage: its requirements for no ad blocking and no popups caused me lost time to figure out how to disable these security measures. Not cool...)

A step up from older generators

I bought this generator to replace an older model and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it starts up and operates. I am impressed with the instrumentation and the amount of info I can get from the control panel. I’ve never experienced that before and it makes this generator so much easier to use. I can handle the load I put on it with ease which came in handy during the last time the power went out.

Quiet & Dual Fuel!!

I've been wanting a dual fuel generator for a while and finally decided to purchase this Westinghouse iGen4500DF. It's much quieter than the classic generator's you might be used to and the ability to use either gasoline or propane is great, there's a selector on the control panel to choose fuel type. I intend to use primarily propane to extend the life of the carburetor when the generator sits for extended periods. The control panel will show hours run, voltage, fuel level, power output, etc and has push button start. This is a nice generator and I can't wait to really get into using it.

Saved my bacon during Hurricane Ida, literally & f

Relocated to LA 6 years ago & after 2020’s very active hurricane season I knew I needed to have a generator on hand this year but needed one I could understand & operate on my own. I liked the idea of having an alternative fuel source I can store too. Push button start is awesome! My gas lasted me a lot longer than others & my generator was by far much quieter than any I’ve heard. Thumbs up from a female user…& the guy I’m seeing told his dad about mine & they went & bought one after they heard how efficient & easy mine was to run! I’d say that’s a 5 star rating since they are old hats at hurricanes. Very pleased! P.S. Don’t judge my generator’s tent :) I needed to make sure it stayed dry since our power was down for a week!

Reliable, easy start, and well made

Well made, well thought out. Manual is excellent including parts break-down, safety and preventative maintenance procedures. Came with everything needed to start using immediately except extension cords: Oil to be added, charged battery, tool kit, battery in remote key fob,etc.

iGen4500DFcv

Great product. No remote start, but smooth easy starting pull. Nice tool kit especially threaded oil filler tube. Filled with minimal mess. Nice access panels. Very quiet compared to standard gen. 80dB right in front at controls at 50% load. Eco mode awesome. Idle speed at no load and RPM only increases based on load. Handled 2K watt microwave only 50% load using 30amp plug with 30amp to 20amp adapter from Harbor Freight. Nice LED display of power, volts, and run time. Propane easy to use. No mess, fuel additives or storage problems. Can use gas, but I plan to keep using propane.

Much quieter than I expected

My primary use for this to power the 5th while boondocking. After unpacking, adding oil, fuel, and connecting the battery, it started right up. It was much quieter than I had anticipated. Sitting at idle, my wife and I were able to hold a conversation without raising our voices while standing right next to it. I will primarily be using propane for fuel. I did a test run to see how much I can run on it. I can run either one of my two A/Cs, one which is 15k btu and the other is 13.5 btu, but not both at the same time. With one A/C running, I can power my residential refrigerator, water heater, water pump, and all of the lights. If I add soft starts to my A/Cs, I could probably run everything. With trailer power cord almost fully extended, I cannot hear the generator running. Very pleased with this unit so far.

Very Compact with all the bells and whistels

I reviewed several options to enhance my home back up system. After considering price, features, and availability I am glad I chose this product. It is super compact and it was shipped quickly and and easy to install. This is a great addition to my home back up system. I appreciate the fact that you can use propane or regular gas. With all the gas prices going up as they are it is nice to have another option.

This Duel fuel generator is as described

I bought this in Mid October 24 and used it at a tailgate for one of the Virginia Tech football games. So far it has performed up to its description. I'm impressed with the ease of operation and the quietness. I am using it for camping and as a light back up for the house in case the power goes out.

Great value and features

I bought this model specifically because of the features. I have only had it for about 5 days so I am still breaking it In. The KW capacity is the right size for me and the dual fuel capability is my hedge agains shortage on one or the other fuel type. I an not sure it is properly displaying the fuel level but all else appears to be showing correctly.
