Great dual fuel feature!

After searching several generator options out there, I kept coming back to iGen4500DF. The features on the control panel are top of the line and the ability switch to natural gas is a game changer, especially when gas is scarce if we are hit by a hurricane. It is even compact enough to take on our boat for camping trips. Very happy with the purchase.

Great packaging and build quality

Although I haven’t used the generator yet, I did a tremendous amount of research besides deciding on the Westinghouse 11,000 inverter generator. Once it arrived I know I made the right decision to build quality is remarkable and the packaging was excellent. It arrived on a pallet very sturdy yet easy enough for one person too fun pack, and install the wheels and feet. They even provided all the tools needed, including heavy duty wrench to attach the wheels. I know I made the right decision with this purchase.

research is over

I researced all of the like generators I could find. had to be invertor, 3,500 watt or better, dual fuel. This one had more features that made it even better. I.E. remote start (yeah), LED data center, parallel capable. So far, I added oil, hooked it up to propane, and hit start on the remote start. It started right off, and shut down as expected with the remote start buttons. after starting again, I plugged my camper in and ran everythink I could run, including the 13,500 air unit. It ran everything easily for about two hours, untill I shut it down. You can tell when the compressor on the ac kicks in, as the startup draw takes a fair amount of juice. The generator reves up, but drops back down quickly as the copressor settles down to normal run draw. I don't know if it's as quiet as a Honda, but I'll be way more comfortable running it with neighbors in a campground, than my old open frame. Very happy at this time. We'll time test it in a couple of months.

135 Years of Awesomeness - led to the iGEN4500DF

Hands down an AWESOME Inverter/Gen designed perfectly for the RV Camping world or doing chores around the house. This unit is loaded with features that are appreciated. Push button start, remote start, recoil start never leaves you in a position to get this unit up and running. Serves our purpose well and keeps our Flagstaff up and running with plenty of QUIET power. Thank you Westinghouse for an awesome product.

Great Features and Quiet

Really like the features... dual fuel, quiet, remote electric start, 30A RV connection, LED display. Battery stopped working after only two weeks, going to contact customer support to try and get battery replacement... will see how that goes. If not for hassle with failed battery, would have been 5 stars

Best for Us with All the Reviews Reviewed

My boyfriend and I are going to be traveling for quite a while in our camper, and as off campgrounds as possible. This generator is going to save us in all conditions. It’s fairly lightweight for being able to store different fuels at the same time. Love the handle for easy movability. Easy off and on toggle is super cool, and will come in handy when we want to shut it off and on from inside our camper (instead of having to go outside to turn on and off). Happy to give this company a good review— their product is the real deal!

just got it, runs fine so far

came with a broken retaining tab in the bottom of the bag, not sure where it goes but it's not missing from the right side panel. started and ran fine, powered an air compressor and freezer. it is very quiet for what it is. I'm not outside of the break in yet, I'll update if I can after running it for a few more hours.

Quiet and Easy

I bought this Generator after a series of Tornadoes hit the area.I wanted an Inverter Generator that was quiet, easy to start and had a long run time. This machine is quiet and easy to start and with about 2 gallons of Gas, it showed about 10 hours of run time without a load. I amvery pleased out of the gate.

So far, so good

Bought the generator for backup power at my apartment, but also for camping use since it's nice and quiet and has enough power to run the essentials in the apartment. Got it set up and fully charged the battery. It started right up. Tested it but only with some light loads. Everything worked fine. Let it sit for a few days and started it again. Did not have any problems with the choke as some others have mentioned. It runs fairly smooth and very quiet, though again I didn't put a heavy load on it. It's small enough to fit into my outdoor closet and the pop out handle and wheels really helps in moving it around. It's heavier than I thought and would require 2 people to lift into a truck or hatchback. The controls and outlets are compact and succinct. And it's convenient to have a battery trickle charger built into the control panel. So far it seems to meet my needs and expectations. The caveat is that I won't have much opportunity to get much use of it for awhile. Time will tell. So far so good.

Almost perfect

Adding a Propane Quick connect on the front panel (like a very similar competitor model has) and a Bluetooth connection to your phone (like a very similar competitor model has) would be great additions to this generator. Other than that, I believe that this is the all-around best camping / basic RV generator out there.
