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.

Very Quiet in ECO MODE!

I bought this back in June to replace a similar duel fuel generator for my camper. We used it about 60 hours total so far and it has been sitting in my garage for the past 4 months. It started right up and I didn’t have to charge the battery to my surprise. I really love how it’s quiet when running the AC and how it gets quieter in ECO MODE!

Very surprised by all the features!

I bought this at a great price, was extremely easy to set up, has more features than any other generator on the market and costs less. This thing started right up, no problems, it's very quiet and runs very well. The luggage style pull out handle to move it is a great bonus as well, its extremely sturdy and spring loaded so you can use your foot to pop it out. I enjoy the small details. Thanks!

So Far So Good

Set up was easy. Don't forget to oil air filter. Only issue I had with initial setup was adding nearly all of the supplied oil overfilled the oil pan and leaked out, and because of that, overflowed a bit while running. My next biggest issue of the day was taking off the side access panel. It's easy enough with some initial force, but it would have been nice if it was toolless (which is the reason for 4, not 5, stars). I ran it for 5 hours with variable loads. It ran my smoker and provided a meal for the evening. It was nice and quiet, too. Overall, for the one day, it was a worthwhile investment. I'll be updating my review if anything changes.

Great features

Ive only used it for 1 weekend of camping. Ran a 19 ft 30amp camper including AC unit with power to spare. Put 27 hours on it. Only concern is, after it runs for several hours with no problem, it started idling down then would return to normal operation within a couple seconds. After it does it the first time then it would do it about every 20-30 minutes. No power change on my end and no codes on the generator. Still havent figured out what is causing it.

Bought my iGEN4500DFc last Fall

Bought my iGEN4500DFc last Fall as a backup to a potential house power failure. After completing the provided assembly instructions. I started my unit up with the propane connection. The unit started up immediately with the key fob. I ran the unit for 10 minutes. I repeated the above process six months later with no problems. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Dual fuel genset powers my RV

Easy to use generator that will power my class C RV. Handles my 13,000 btu AC and microwave no problem. The watt meter on the panel seems a bit off compared to my killowatt meter, but overall nice genset. Only have 30 hours on the it, but so far so good. I recommend following the manufacturer's break-in instructions and change the oil regularly.

Good size, good power

Great purchase and much quieter than an open generator. I’ve enjoyed it so far. It still makes decent noise but it’s an improvement from what I’m used to. I got the dual fuel and it started well. Had to work it a little bit but it was easy after the first operation. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice backup or camping generator. I plan to use it for my fridge and other small items during power outages.

Great Features

Recently purchased to use on RV. Remote start and dual fuel options were some of the reasons I bought this unit. Eco feature and light weight were also a plus. Propane regulator, oil, funnel, tool kit were included. All that was needed was fuel. Very pleased with purchase so far!!!

Runs Quiet!

I bought this iGen4500DF to power my RV. Even in Eco Mode it has no problem running my 15k BTU AC. It is very quiet compared to a non inverter generator, casual conversation can be easily heard within only a few feet from it and this was when the AC was running putting a load on it.
