Dual fuel generator

We purchased the igen4500DF about 2 months ago online from Sam's club. We did our research and wanted this dual fuel model and it was on sale. Really simple to start up and it comes with everything you will need to begin with and to use with gas or propane. I just tried it out today for an hour on propane only and it worked great on small appliances. Just waiting for our chance to take it on our next trip and see how it will power our trailer.

WORKS GREAT

My unit works great! I was a little apprehensive at first when I was considering buying the igen4500df because of some of the reviews about the loose wire/choke issue. I unboxed my unit, put oil in it, and fired it up. I broke it in according to the manual, then connected it to my camper afterwards. I ran various appliances and it never missed a beat. I am completely satisfied with my unit so far.

Easy starting and very quiet

I recently bought my generator for camping and was quite impressed with just how quiet my new IGen4500DF generator ran. I'm also very impressed with the remote starter which allows me to start the generator from inside the camper, a feature that I appreciated when the snow hits overnight.

First generator

Purchased this generator to run air conditioner and microwave at the same time. Propane intake cover is the only attached cover that is upside down when not covering propane input. Water and dust collect in it when propane is in use. Otherwise, really pleased with the running of the unit. Sounds like a push lawnmower when it's running at normal and revs a little louder when starting air conditioner but doesn't rev when a/c is running and the microwave is used.

Love the generator

Took 3 months for the generator to arrive. Ordered in Feb did not receive it until late May. Added the oil, connected the battery, connected to propane. Started right up. Would recommend the propane connection be upgraded to a quick release system. One question I have is dealing with "Switching fuel sources". On page 11 (item15) of the manual, it states you cannot switch fuel while running, but on page 18, it states you can.

This thing is quiet

The generator just arrive today, filled with oil, connected battery and propane, hit the remote button, she turned over a few times and fired up. I thought it was eco mode it didn't sound like it was revved up much, looked at the switch and it wasn't, flipped to eco mode and was shocked at how quite it is. Yes i am coming from and old regular generator and it is truly amazing at the very low sound level. Cant wait to put it to real world use.

Great features

Just added the oil, connected the battery, installed the hose and regulator, turned the switch on and pressed the on button on the remote. It started immediately and I could not believe how quiet it runs. I'll test it out in the next 2 weeks on our first camping trip of the season but it made a 5 Star first impression.

They don't mess around

I had an issue with my gen after about 20 hours into a two week boondocking trip so I called the number on the side of the unit. I had registered my igen4500df so the process was seamless. They sent me a new unit within 4 days ! Westinghouse gens are the best I've ever owned!

HOW HANDY IT WAS AND THAT IT MADE MUCH, MUCH LESS NOISE THAN THE ONE i HAD, SHE WAS PLEASED. NOW MY SON WANTS TO BUY ONE.

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.
