Quiet Generator

Very Happy with this purchase. Generator runs very quietly. Plan to use to run AC in my Travel Trailer at my storage location so I can do minor repairs. Also to keep with me when traveling in case of power outage or no electricity at camp site. Started right up with no issues.

Great features… BUT…

We bought this to better power our cabin, but it seems the cold temperatures of Alaska make starting the generator extremely difficult even if we store it inside at night… if we could figure out how to get it to start and stay started this would be a wonderful investment.

Great for my Boondocking RV!

We love this generator. It is powerful to run the A/C on our RV when we are boondocking. A real game changer for our RV lifestyle to get off the grid and not be bound to electric hookups to stay comfortable and enjoy our time exploring this great country. When we are running the A/C we can't even hear the generator running.

Seems well built

I just got my iGen4500DF and was easy to unpackage and initial starting was very easy, add oil, connect battery, hook up propane and press button on key fobe! Started right up and was slightly louder than I expected but will be in my truck bed under canopy with ventilation. Seems well built as I expected:)

Solid Unit

I bought this about a month ago. Ran if for thirty hours so far. It's has great output. The fuel gauge has stopped working and so has most of the digital readout options besides the power output. I have contacted Westinghouse, I'll update my review once the issue has been resolved

IGEN5000DF

I purchased 10 days ago and package arrived in good shape and all items were accounted for. Filled with oil and ran on propane for 5 hours then changed the oil. Did not want to gum up the carburetor so just used propane with a light load to break it in so it will be ready when needed in the future. Plan to use to run AC on a camper when camping in places with no electricity. You need smalls hands to change the oil and it tends to get in some of the areas around the drain hole so then it continues to leak out of the bottom later. I recommend using a rag to catch the overflow. Overall satisfied at this time.

First impression: Very quiet, almost perfect.

Just purchased the iGen4500DF after much consideration. Will be used for boondocking with a 30amp travel trailer and also for replacing an older emergency backup generator for my home. It's a bit heavy for lifting into the back of my truck, so I'll need to figure out a way to transport/move it, but I purchased this one because it will handle both of the purposes I intend to use it for. I connected it to my travel trailer and ran it on propane for two hours, varying the load with a/c, refrigerator and lights as a break in run. The only things I've seen so far that I would prefer to be different are (1) a better way of draining the engine oil, and (2) a toggle style main circuit breaker to allow connecting or disconnecting the plugs with the unit running and no power output to the receptacles.

So far so good.

Just got this unit and have not used it much, but so far i like it. Not quite as quiet as a Honda but almost. I like the remote start and the cost compared to other brands. I can't wait for camping season to come again so I can put it to use powering my fifth- wheel trailer. This is the main reason I bought it. So far so good.

Fantastic Machine

I was hesitant to purchase a lesser name in generators, but through the testing and performance, its hands down the best generator investment I have made. Dual Fuel, Remote Start, Inverter, Quieter than Hondas, RV ready. I could not ask for a better investment for an energy backup.

My First Generator

Been looking for a generator to use as a backup to power my home (partially) and I found it... the iGEN4500DF. Chose the DF because it uses dual fuel and I wanted to use propane. I have not used it a lot but my first impressions where astounding. It has everything I need and has great controls. Thank you Westinghouse for creating this wonderful device for me.
