Westinghouse iGen4500DF invertor generator

I bought about a month ago and got it all set up to power a portable a/c unit, refrigerator, and freezer. I bought a 30amp convertor to switch that plug to 3 regular plugs. i bought 4 propane tanks and plan to run on propane only. It was only using about 25% power when running the 3 items above. i have a small problem with oil leaking but it may be out of the filler cap. I still have to figure that out. It seems to be extremely quiet. Thanks.

Easy to setup and operate

First time owning a generator. This unit is well labeled, instructions make sense, and was very easy to setup and operate. It is quite heavy but the extension handle makes moving the unit around easy enough. I will be teaching the wife how to get it all set up and have no concerns about her being able to operate it.

Everything that I could've hoped for.

After a lot of research over more than a year I settled on this generator. I have been very happy with the purchase so far. It runs smoothly and quietly. It powers more than I expected and adjusts quickly when my RV air conditioner kicks on. I would recommend this generator to anyone.

Great experience

It couldn’t have been any easier. I unboxed the generator, added the supplied oil and made the battery connection. I connected my extra propane tank, turned on the power switch and used the remote start fob to start it up. It started right up. Then plugged in a small 1500watt space heater. The engine changed pitch slightly and the heater was throwing out heat. Never again will I be without heat and basic life support for my family.

Excellent product

I bought this generator because I am in a zone in California where our power company shuts off our power when it gets windy and dry during a Santa Ana wind event. I work at The Home Depot and most of our generators were sold out in the store by the time our first wind event started. I'm glad I wasn't impulsive and just bought any old generator, even though my power had been cut off twice in a week. I started researching and I noticed the Westinghouse generators had excellent reviews, better than the rest as a whole. What I wanted was something quite, electric and remote start, was able to power the tv, computer, the fridge, the toaster oven, microwave ,the water pump for the well, washer, dryer , a hot plate, and lights. Of course you can't run everything at once but I can run the fridge and the microwave and 3 bright 5000 lumen led lights at once. Just have to be careful what your turning on. It is very quite, not like rest of the generators in the neighborhood. I can barely hear it in the house. Very efficient too! Has a power saving switch where it runs at idle until you put a load on it so it saves fuel. I run it on propane because it's cheaper, cleaner and stores a long time unlike gas. This unit is for you if you like it quite and are not concerned with only running more than 2 major appliances at once, don't want to pull start an engine, save fuel and actually move it by yourself with relative ease with a telescopic handle.

Runs great

So far I am extremely happy with the unit. I have seen a lot of reviews, and still decided to go with this one. It has all the features that I wanted. It started right up, so no “choke issues” for me! It is as quiet as the predator 3500. And more power!

Great Features @ A $$$ I Can Afford

Just bought it and set up for gasoline and propane. Seems to run well with a 1875 Watt hair dryer and a 500 watt work light. The gauge displayed about 50% load. Bought for my 5th wheel next year with a 15000 BTU A/C unit. My previous two 2000 Yamaha gens in parallel couldn't always start the A/C in hot weather.

So quiet we had a normal conversation next to it

Arrived in good packaging and had the first fill of 10W30 oil included with the basic spark plug and maintenance tools too. Filled up the oil, and a little gas and it fired up the first try. This unit is so quiet I had to bring my wife out to listen and we had a conversation right next to this generator under a 500 watt load. The battery was even charged so I could use the remote start fob to start and stop. I did a lot of research and price modeling for three months and landed on this unit. It is by far the best value in my mind and in online reviews for value. It is 10db (3 x) quieter than the other popular competition. The digital readout is very useful and not on most other generators. The fuel and power load indicators are easy to read at a glance graph like colored indicators. I was able to extend the telescoping handle and with one hand move this generator around easily and the handle stores back out of the way. I am very happy with this generator and look forward to our next RV adventure off grid.

Great for camping

Works great for camper. Only used once for camping can run everything on our camper at the same time. It was on the hitch mount carrier and could not hear it inside with TV on low volume. No more setting generator 50ft away from camper to have a conversation. Don't try to start on eco mode, if it doesn't start the first try, check the eco mode switch.

This Generator is So Quiet !!

My husband and I bought this generator today. We came home and tested it out and it started right up and is so quiet ! Works very well and is compact to fit in a smaller space in our home for storage. Love that it offers a choice of propane or gasoline too. Now we are completely ready for the next ice storm that blasts Ontario Canada !
