My Second Westinghouse Generator!

Absolutely love Westinghouse! This is my second generator from them. My first one powers my home, this one will power my RV during off-grid camping trips! It's robust and well-built. The cover and parts fit great and the handlebars feel solid. Love the Co monitoring for safety and best of all the dual fuel ability! Hands down the best inverter out there!

Impressive generator!

I can compare this generator to my existing Honda as well as my past Generac and Coleman generators. I am very impressed with all aspects - the build quality, the instructions, the included start-up kit, and the operation. I put in oil and fuel, and it started immediately with very little running noise. The handle design to move it around is also well done. Now planning to buy a second one.

Excellent machine feature wise.

Currently doing a break in process so jury is out. Started right up on propane which I intend to only operate on that. Engine surges slightly with no load but again no hours on it and no load yet. I will update when I have some hours. Otherwise the reviews from other owners help promote my purchase

Great buy

Lives up to advertisement. Very quiet and lightweight with plenty of power. Easy to use and started up on first try. Only downside is with remote. It works great but unit must be in "on" position. If left like this overnight, battery drains and remote is useless

Awesome features, efficient and easy to use!!!

I love this thing! This generator really does the job as I expected. The generator is reliable and is able to power appliances that are essential during power outages in California. For those in doubt of product... You will be surprised of how great this thing is!!!

wonderful

Purchase this inverter generator after researching several for our Airstream Classic. It arrived in excellent condition. After prepping as instructed, connected to propane and it started immediately. Very quiet. very well made. I am very happy with the generator and looking forward to many years of use on our camping trips.

After researching many models of inverter generators the Westinghouse Duel Fuel Generator fit the bill. There was a minor issue with the rubber strap that secures the battery. Generator runs fairly quiet. It is heavy but the wheels & handle make it manageable to move. I have not installed the propane connection yet but that was another plus for my purchasing the Westinghouse.

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.

Good so far

Bought this generator after reading many reviews. It has performed great so far but this is based on very limited use. It will be primarily used as emergency power back up for our home. It replaces a very noisy Coleman generator that gave us many years of dependable back up power.

Ran great on initial test

I purchased this generator for backup home power in the event of power failure. The iGen 4500DF was easy to set up except for a couple of missteps on my part. I over filled the oil reservoir. This was probably due to some residual oil in the engine from the factory test. I added most of the .63qt bottle. The reservoir is supposed hold .6 qt. it overflowed when I removed the funnel. The excess leaked out of the bottom of the case for a short time. On start up I added about a quart of gasoline to the tank. This apparently was not enough to get it running. It would almost turn over from time to time. It showed low fuel on the digital display. So I added some more fuel and that solved the problem. The start up with propane was perfect. It ran a little rough for a few minutes but then smoothed out. I ran it with several small loads plugged in for about a half and hour. It appeared to function properly. I experimented with switching back and forth from gas to propane and that went well. I am pleased with the generator so far.
