Nice but propane needs high pressure

Operates as advertised, very heavy and relatively quiet. Will not operate with auxiliary propane line from camp trailer. Nowhere in the manual or web description does it identify how much propane pressure is required. Will only operate directly from a portable tank.

Nice quiet machine - difficult to start

Relatively compact, not too heavy to lift and easy to move, unbox and set up. Oil and funnel included. Fired it up on propane to test before coming storms. However it took 10 or 15 pulls to start, but that was first time and obviously cold.Noticeably quieter than others I've used, even less powerful ones. Stores neatly under a table. Happy purchaser, but I probably should have shelled out for the electric start.

Rec'd in good condition. Works as described

However, the 30amp socket says RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE ONLY. Not mentioned anywhere in manual as such. Very disconcerting but customer service was quick to answer all my questions and assured me that this circuit was not restricted to RV use. Only have two hours of use (tested gas & propane.)

Not impressed so far

Got this and I was very excited about having a more powerful inverter. 1st this can't even handle my small trailer a/c unit without overloading. 2nd it sometimes won't even start, 3rd ot runs like crap for the first 2-3 minutes not even hooked up to anything. If I could return it I would...

IGEN4500DFC

Update from 2 Feb 2022. I purchased this gen on 1 Feb 2023 and I am in the process of breaking in the first 5 hours of run time. I am now at 4 hours and have been varying the load as stated in manual. My first review said that the Digital Data Center was not working properly. It still doesn't have the daily run time but it does keep track of the overall runtime. I am very satisfied with this generator. Even with my a/c and fireplace/heater running the generator is at 50% power.

Problems right out of the box

Shipping delayed, ordered generator 9/8/2021 & didn't receive it until 9/18/2021. Opened the box on 9/20/2021 and right out of the box, the regulator did not work. Registering the generator before we even cranked it so that we can get support for the regulator. It is a very impressive looking generator with really nice features. We just hope the generator runs once we get a new regulator.

Great features although a little heavy

I have only used this generator for a few hours but I am very happy with the performance thus far. I am still breaking the unit in, but have tested it out on power tools, my refrigerator, and a microwave. I have not yet tried the unit with gas, but the engine started immediately with propane. Very happy thus far!

Dual fuel genset powers my RV

Easy to use generator that will power my class C RV. Handles my 13,000 btu AC and microwave no problem. The watt meter on the panel seems a bit off compared to my killowatt meter, but overall nice genset. Only have 30 hours on the it, but so far so good. I recommend following the manufacturer's break-in instructions and change the oil regularly.

Perfect for Our Home!

We bought this for emergency backup power for our home. It is exactly what we needed and had been looking for. One of the most important factors was how quiet the unit is when operating. In addition, we wanted dual fuel capability. Glad we purchased the Westighouse iGen4500DF! Perfect for our home!
