Great RV Generator

Exactly what we wanted for our 20' RV. Runs the A/C, Refrigerator, Microwave and Lighting without any issues. We prefer to use propane since it is already on the front of the rv and eliminates having to haul gas, although it is nice to have the gas option if propane is not available. This generator has lots of reviews and seems to be the one that the rv clientele prefer. As an inverter, it also runs very quiet compared to a conventional generator.

Has all the features I need!

Just bought this generator a week ago and so far so good! Disappointed I had to take the time to adjust the manual choke so the unit would start the first time. Starts without further adjustment since. Looking forward to first camping trip with my IGen4500!

So far so good!

Purchased this wGEN7500 as a backup for power outages at our home. Easy set up with a transfer switch. Started easily and runs smooth. Just tested with the switch and it easily ran our furnace, well, refrigerator and lights. The only downside is that the unit is loud, which was expected. Since it is for emergencies only, we'll live with it.

Great Unit

We purchased two inverters so we could lpower our 5th wheel. Both fired up right away and ran very quietly. We did overfill the oil reservoir on the first unit, since it did not take .6 quarts. We also purchased the combiningunit which has color coded leads which the iGen4500DF does not. Two minor issues, and we look forward to many col or warm (heater or AC) days out in the wilds.

Second One

We bought our first Westinghouse generator over a year ago. Unfortunately, it was stolen from us. We were very happy with that one. So, when buying a replacement, we didn't hesitate to look for another Westinghouse. This time we wanted to try the dual fuel model. We have not been disappointed. While on a 10-day summer adventure, it performed very well. It ran pretty much 24/7 the entire time other than shutting it down for oil changes. We're hoping we will have this one much longer than the last. Thanks!

Excellent Dual Fuel Generator

Spent several weeks researching for a dual fuel generator. Looking for quiet, battery charger capabilities, dual fuel, good warranty, 4500 watts and a fair price point! The iGen 4500DF arrived and read the owners manual, installed the oil, hooked up the battery and it cranked using the start button as well as the fob. Residing in Texas and remembering February 2021 week of no power; now prepared!! Thanks Westinghouse!

Love that it is Dual Fuel!

Brought it home - filled with oil - connected battery - filled with gasoline - hooked up to Propane. All super easy! Pushed electric start button and it immediately started and purred like a kitten. Easy switch back and forth from gasoline to propane. Seamless! I love it! Perfect for my Fifth Wheel Camper!

Second generator I bought

I personally bought a Igen4500DF for myself that has perfirmed flawlessly, and decided to get a second igen4509DF for my parents. I put oil and gas in the new, pressed the button once and it started right up. Threw on a hair dryer for load and ran it till the gas finished.

Very pleased!

Igen4500df We have run this generator through a trial by fire. A week of 100+ F degree temp. in our travel trailer with the air conditioning running nearly 24 hrs per day. We used both fuel modes, gas and propane on the eco mode. It ran flawlessly and economically the whole time.

So far, pretty good

I only just received it and started it up. A word of warning - don't try and fit the entire bottle of oil, even though it says it should fit. I also had trouble replacing the dipstick/oil plug. It's either poorly machined or the plastic plug is too soft. Also, it's not as quiet as I expected, although it is supposed to be quieter than comparable models. Other than those caveats, I am happy with the features and capabilities of this unit. For me it is everything I need in an emergency generator.
