Very Pleased! Quality construction. Versatile!

I liked what I read about this before ordering. Even more impressed when I received it. Attractive, well constructed, and well thought out. The included accessories and documentation are top notch. And I was pleasantly surprised by the sturdy extension handle which I di not see when I made the purchase. Thanks Westinghouse.

Awesome inverter generator!

This is the second iGen I have bought, gave the first one (4500) to our son. Have had to use it numerous times during the year and expect to use it more as our power seems to be coming less reliable. I typically run it on propane but having the gasoline option is very convinent! Great machine, totally recommend it!

Easy setup.

I bought this for boondocking with my travel trailer. It was a good value, and exceeds my power requirements. Very easy and intuitive setup. I had it running in about an hour on propane. I've only run it on propane so far, and plan to use propane the majority of the time.

Quiet running and easy set up

Bought this in a rush for an unexpected trip where power may not be available. Dual fuel option and electric start were a big selling point. Instructions for initial set up and break in are easy enough for anyone. Remote start is nice, but since you plu in after unit is running, kinda pointless. Heading cross country after break in. Any issues will get another review.

Great generator

Was scared at first. Box was delivered pretty beat up but product was not damaged at all. After filling the oil and checking the battery, unit started up with no problems. Using propane as my fuel source it was very smooth running and the noise level was less than I expected. Will update after my first real usage.

Excellent Generator

This compact generator is definitely a great buy and a workhorse. Two months after I bought it for backup power during Texas hurricane season I had to put it to work. Power was out for only 12 hours but I had prepped it and ran it several hours in the months prior and it performed flawlessly. It has great features and is very intuitively designed. Sound is minimal at low load and it ramps up quickly and gets louder but still, at max, is quieter than most other cheaper gens. The manual also has reasonable periodic maintenance unlike some cheap models that require service way too soon for basic parts like brushes that should last fore years and years before needing replacement - read the manual first before you decide. Definitely would buy another!

Lives up to all I read about it.

Received promptly and in good condition. Read instructions and prepped for starting with propane. Cranked immediately with remote fob and ran on both ‘eco’ and full power for long period. Well designed user interface panel and placement of oil/air filter/battery access area. Also well designed collapsible handle for pulling on four or two wheels - nice design idea. Ohhh! And quiet.

1st iGen4500DF Runs Great on Gasoline - Purchased

I bought my 1st iGen4500 in January 2021. The generator runs very quietly and provides enough power for our travel trailer. The only issue that I have is that I can’t get the generator to run on propane even after I ensured that the system was purged of all gasoline and the selector switch was set appropriately. Today was the first time I attempted to run the generator on propane with no success. I went through the troubleshooting procedures several times with no success, but I switched back to gasoline and it runs fine. Today (2/19/2022) I have contacted Westinghouse to find out how this issue can be resolved along with the current recall that I just found out about. Hopefully Westinghouse’s customer service is good and we can get everything taken care of. I would love to provide a update to my review after we get these issues resolved. I have faith that they will make things right. Don’t get me wrong, I believe this is an excellent generator that runs very quietly even with the issues that I am currently experiencing. I liked it so much, I purchased a second one last week along with a parallel cable so I can use the generators together during a power outage. I would recommend this generator to anyone. I have started our second iGen4500DF for the first time today using propane and it runs great.

Perfect Generator for 5th Wheel Service!

I bought two of these instead of paying for the ONAN 5500 option on my new Grand Designs 5th Wheel. About 1/3 the price, nearly twice the Wattage and double the amperage when joined together with the Westinghouse cord. They fit easily in the bay where the ONAN would have sat, with room to spare! Runs all three AC units, water heater, fridge, etc... without any issues. Dual Fuel a bonus as well! Definitely pay attention to the specs for jetting based on altitude. Comes from factory jetted for under 2000'. I live at 6000' so had to swap out jets in carbs and nozzles on regulartors for propane. Super quiet, ultra portable, such a great value!

Powerpusher

Great all around generator.Bought this a month ago, it has been work out well. Use it to top batteries off at night if solar didn't capture enough during the day. It is quiet, quick remote starts and fuel efficient. Run it on mainly propane as this seem to contaminate the oil less. Maximum power draw on my unit with everything going 2300 watts. So this unit has no problem keep up. Average draw is 600 watts. So far I really like this gen. Pull start easy as well. Time will tell how durable it is
