SO FAR SO GOOD!

Recently bought this generator. So far, I am pleased with it. I connected it right away to propane bottle & it started right up. I was very impressed with how well it performed. It's easy to maneuver with the pull handle & lightweight for a generator of this size. Just what I was looking for.

All the features I wanted

I've just had this a day but I was very impressed when I pulled gently on the recoil starter handle to test the compression and it started right up! After that I started it a number of times using the battery/starter, sometimes with the remote fob. Everything worked. It is quiet enough that you can have a normal conversation standing beside the unit while it is running (in non-eco mode at about 1/2 power output). It also handled my RV air conditioner plus the electric water heater (which I would not run while on generator, really). It would not handle the second air conditioner - undoubtedly because of the starting current. I haven't tried the propane fuel, yet, but I intend to shortly.

RV perfect

Just received my igen4500DFc and couldn’t be happier. After reading directions and proper prep the generator started right up and is amazingly quiet. Best part is that it arrived ready to connect to my RVs 30 amp cable. Looking forward to many years of use!

Does the job!

Bought for use with our camper trailer.The user manual is detailed, easy to understand and covers everything. I started it up and plugged in the camper 30A plug. I turned on all the electrical devices one at a time to see how much power they used. Then turned a few on to see what I could run together. Looks like I'll be able to run almost everything I want except starting the AC with the microwave running. It is very quiet even with a heavy load. I like the dual fuel. I'm impressed so far. Time will tell.

Nice Inverter

Added oil, hooked up battery. Decided to use propane to fuel it - seems to work fine although have not really tested it much yet. All the features seem to work as advertised. Definitely a two person lift at nearly 100 lb. The attached wheels and handle work fine, but it's not meant for rugged terrain. Gave it a 4 star rating as I need to use it more to see how it holds up. Have not used it with gasoline.

Light Weight and Quiet

After careful research, Westinghouse brand was highly recommended. It was important that it not weigh a ton for our particular trailer and that it not be noisy. It only weighs 100 pounds. It sits on a cargo platform at the rear of the trailer. It can easily run our one air conditioner and microwave without any problems! Plus its not that big.

Worked with no issues

Easy to prep for first run. Started easily. I like the battery trickle charger. Over all very nice unit. The reason I gave this unit a four is that it louder the specified. Specified as "as low as 52db" but un-loaded with eco-mode on I measured 75db at 6ft

Dual Fuel is great! Quiet!

I purchased a year ago but just set the generator up this weekend. Decided to try propane first. I got it ready and plugged it in for several days to let battery charge. Pulled out today and the generator started right up. Runs quiet! Going to try it out on a primitive camp trip. I will say the fit and finish isn’t great on this but overall for the $ seems to be a good generator. Hope it lasts, as it will only get used a couple of times a year for camping and as a back up if lose power.

Easy to set up and real quiet.

My generator arrived in good condition with all the advertised accessories for remote start and dual fuel operation. Adding the initial oil was not difficult and startup was super easy with electric start. This unit is so quiet that I can barely hear it from the other side of the house.

Excellent generator, great design EXCEPT oil drain

I unboxed this generator and got it up and running today. It started up easily on LP gas (I didn't put any gasoline in the tank). The noise is pretty low and the power seems to be clean enough for all of my electronics I the house. I ran it for several hours and went to drain the break-in oil. That was when the honeymoon ended. Everything else about this unit is nicely designed and easy to access but the oil drain is terrible. I swore and cursed as I tried to get my fingers on the rubber plug and a wrench on the nearly impossible to access drain plug. Couldn't you have made the oil access door a bit wider? I'm going to be looking for an oil extractor pump for the next time. Aside from this oil drain issue, it's a great little generator.
