Good size and quiet.

Picked this generator because reviews said it was quiet and had adequate power. I also needed the dual fuel option and a remote. I was disappointed to find the remote does not work. I am contacting the company tomorrow. Hoping this issue will be resolved.

Best One Out There

After Hurricane Sally, I decided I needed a larger generator, and the dual-fuel feature on the IGen4500DF was especially attractive. The propane option, even though not quite as powerful as the gas, to me is much more convenient, easier to store, and safer. Easier to have 5 propane tanks around than 5 extremely flammable plastic gas containers. Starts and runs without a hitch, easy to understand controls, everything in the right place, powerful, quiet. What is there not to like??

So far, so good

I bought this generator in May but delivery was in June. Arrived in perfect shape, Easy to set up for operation, very good instructions (unusual in this day and age) and started right up on propane and gasoline. Very quite. Even put it under load from our portable A/C and it ran flawlessly on gasoline. Unfortunately, I was shortsighted and hooked up a propane tank that ran dry shortly after start-up...my bad. Very happy with it so far. By not means lightweight but still manageable for a 70 year old. Would definitely purchase again, if fact, we are thinking of getting another and pairing them to power our 50amp 5th wheel.

Igen4500df

Generator runs fine out of the box. Still working through the break in period so I don't know how it will do under full load but the remote start does not work. The manual shows a different control panel and the remote pairing instructions don't work.

Happiness is a Humming Generator

We just started our new 5000 DF generator, and are using propane. It starts right up, push button and remote. The noise level is so much lower than our previous dinasour gas model, very little vibration, and it just plain looks good.. And now we are ready to take our first ever camping trailer out west, and no matter where we end up, we should have all the comforts of home. After quite a bit of research and reviews…we have put our confidence in Westinghouse.

Awesome Generator!

I have owned this generator for coming up on 2 years now and have had zero issues with it. I absolutely love the Dual Fuel capabilities and have found it to be quite useful. I use it for my camper and it allows me to carry around 20lb propane tanks instead of tanks of gas that are always smelly and spill. The handle on the generator makes it move around (although lifting it into the back of the truck at 100lbs can be a challenge). It always starts up right away. I would but this generator over again if it ever quit but I don't see that happening. It's a solid unit.

Perfect for our RV

Perfect for our RV. I run our generator on propane, runs quiet. We don't have to worry about our TV, computers or DISH Network receivers. The Generator is light enough that the two of us can load it in our pickup. It fits in front of our fifth wheel perfectly!

IGen5000DFc - great so far!

No damage to the Generator from shipping and it came with all pieces and necessary oil (you must add oil and hook up battery before starting). Instructions included were clear. Took about 4 pulls to start after adding gas. After running for a bit i shut off and used the electric start without issue. The generator is smaller than i expected and quiet for the wattage in my opinion. Not done with breaking in but no issues so far. Had it running a big 20in fan, a high powered work light, an air compressor for tools constantly running and a garage refridgerator constantly running (had door open) in 90deg heat, and the gen was showing 50-75% on the power meter. Will try running it on propane at some point but so far, It's just what I wanted and I am happy with the purchase.

Problems out of the box, but great after that

It would not stay running at first and I was getting a heavy propane smell. After some internet research, it seems a common problem that the choke cable would come disconnected. Unfortunate that I had to take a new product apart to fix this, but it is working great now. I would have rated higher had it not been for that. I hope the choke cable does not vibrate loose during use. I really like the dual fuel feature and it is relatively quiet.

Love the versitility

Duel Fuel exchange is nice. Very quiet. Had issues starting, but it was recalled and the replacement unit has been fine. I presume this is due to the issue, and the service was good so I didn't knock it. I do need more time to evaluate robustness of the product, but so far everything is nice. It would be nice to have an oil drain plug instead of having to dump it out the fill point (i needed to for recall).
