Nice unit

Portable generator inverter came well packaged. Followed the quick start placard and she fired up promptly. Nice unit. Not too large, not too small. Like the inverter function to provide cleaner, more stable power to protect electronic loads which is a lot of things now a days.

Works Perfect!

I received this item yesterday. I bought it for my RV. After installing the provided oil and hooking up the battery I hooked up a propane tank and it started right up. I plugged it into my 5th Wheel and was able to run one of my AC units without issue. I really like the remote start option and the dual fuel.

Had to fix it.

Followed initial start up procedure and upon adding fuel, it started leaking everywhere. I found the main line from the fuel tank was completely disconnected. This could have been a major fire hazard and we feel this should be taken up with higher ups and we should be credited for us having to FIX something that should have been right from the factory. Westinghouse I expect you will contact me and or respond to my complaint.

Nice compact unit with easy to operate controls.

After researching portable inverter/generator models on a few independent consumer sites, and based on their ratings, we made the decision to purchase the iGen4500DF generator in November of 2024. We wanted something compact to use for temporary backup of essential appliances in the event of a power outage. We also intend to use it to power an RV at un-serviced campsites. The unit started and ran flawlessly from initial start-up, and through the break-in period, cycling from gasoline to propane, and back to gasoline several times over the recommended 5-hour initial break-in run. Electrical appliances were cycled during break-in varying generator output from 25% - 50%. At the end of the break-in cycle an additional appliance was added increasing power output to 90%. In all cases the generator governed the engine rpm smoothly throughout the electrical load variations. The unit is well designed with robust body panels, and the control panel is nicely laid out and easy to understand. The handles to lift the generator are well designed allowing the unit to be lifted while wearing thick gloves. The retractable handle for moving the unit on its wheels is also a nice feature (easier on the back). I was able to stop and start the unit with the remote from 60 ft with no issue. I didn't try any further than 100 ft, but I don't have any reason to believe that it wouldn't work further away that that. The unit is nice and quiet, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable compact inverter/generator with good power output.

Great power and very quiet.

When knew we had a power outage coming so we purchased this generator we didn't have a 30 amp plug so we used the two 120 plugs that are on it. We ran two refrigerators TV microwave and a few lights and it had no problem. I can only imagine if we use the 30 amp side How much power would've had, but it had plenty to run everything even off at the 120 plugs

Great Features

I bought this in November. My daughter has one and loves it. I love that it's dual Fuel and you can charge various accessories. It's heavier than I anticipated but nothing I can't handle. I bought it for emergency outages. I've been researching generators for several years now and loved everything about this iGen.

Won't start

I bought this item 6 months ago. We got out camper two months after that and tested everything out. The electric and remote start are a joke. They wouldn't work reliably. We did get it going and ran for a little while to test it's ability to handle our A/C unit. A couple months later I took it out to camp and NOTHING. It won't start. We went through all of the manual testing every possible option as well as watching YouTube Videos and reading service bulletins from Westinghouse and cannot get the product running. I am very disappointed with this purchase.

All the power I need for an emergency

All the power I need when the lights go out. We have constant power failures during the winter months when the heavy wet snow hits, this keeps us going until they get the power back on. This keeps the refrigerator, freezer, internet, all our TVs, coffee pot, and most importantly for me, my CPAP machine all going lots of power to spare I was surprised at how quiet it was even when standing right next to it.

Great features and power

I purchased this inverter generator to be prepared for hurricane season. I love the size, wheels to move it around, easy to understand instructions and manual included. This is an excellent power source for a great price. Westinghouse is a trusted well-known name brand. I am comforted to know that I will be able to easily start and operate this generator by myself, I'm a woman in my 60's. I'll have more than enough power to run my refrigerator and a portable ac unit in my home when we lose electricity again. It's also a compact size to store.
