Extremely quite and powerful

This unit provides the best combination of features that I could find of any generator. It is extremely quite for the amount of output, is very compact, and the duel fuel option was a must. I like how easy it is to start and the remote is a nice feature. I'm really impressed with how nice this is.

Great Features

One of the few that had ALL of the features I wanted. I wanted an inverter that runs on Propane with remote electric start, 30A RV ready rated at 4500 watts. This is the only one on the Market that I could with ALL of these features. This generator is in such high demand that I had to look around to find someone who had one in stock.

Checked all the boxes.

Seeking back-up generator that could serve both emergency home back-up and for camping. Combination of being quiet and dual fuel plus portable enough to take camping along with positive ratings was deciding factor. Easy to follow manual, started right up on first try. Only reason didn't give it 5 stars is the telescoping handle seems a little flimsy.

Cool features. Comes with everything you need.

I bought this a month ago and it seems like a very good product. Came with oil and funnel, battery charger for the electric start, and basic tool kit. It powers my camper without a problem. I thought the throttle would drop off more than it does in economy mode but it is fairly quiet

Great Product!

I just bought this generator and have tried it out just to make sure it works. A neighbor of mine has one just like it that I have used during power outages and I was so pleased with it that I decided to get one for myself. It's easy to use - has two outlets and works on gas or propate - and it's not extremely heavy so that I (a female) can move it around fairly easily.

Worked great until it didn't...

I have a total of 15 hours on my new generator. I ran in for about 7 hours on propane and it worked great! I switched it to gasoline and it ran for about 8 hours. Just as I went to bed, the generator started sputtering and then died. Now it only turns over for 2 second or so. There's plenty of fuel. I've tried starting it approximately 50 times - it's a manual start only with no luck. I'm now sitting in a dark travel trailer with no power and 33% battery life on my phone - it's supposed to be below 30 tonight. The instruction manual only has basic steps like add more fuel and push the reset button. I even used 89 octane fuel. Highly disappointed!

Great Inverter Generator

Easy assembly. All tools included with complete instructions with pictures that were easy to follow. in the user guide. This generator ran my computers, routers, TV, microwave and our propane wall furnace that has electronic controls. It produces clean power and sine wave. Of course it also runs my lights and refrigerator that can operate on a standard generator. I recommend this generator without reservations. It is a great unit. I'd buy it again if I ever need another generator.

Nice product

I purchased my first iGen4500DF a little over a month ago. It arrived and I checked it all over before getting started to be sure nothing was cracked or broken. Everything looked great. I hooked the battery up, put the oil in and filled it with gas. I tried to start it and it would not fire. After several attempts I realized it was not getting fuel. I hooked the propane up and it started right away. I let it run for a few minutes and tried running it on gas again. No luck. I went through the instructions a few times looking for a gas shut off but I couldn’t find anything of assistance. I checked online and found people had problems with the choke so I tried that with no success. I checked the bowl and got fuel. I contacted Westinghouse for help. I was told it was a faulty unit and they provided me with an email to start a claim. After a couple days they sent me another email letting me know I could return the generator to the store before the 30 days was up. I ordered a new one and then returned the first one without issue. The second generator arrived and the box was beat up but the everything inside appeared fine. This time it started on gas and propane without issue. This is a nice generator and runs quiet. I like having the option of gas or propane and feel it was worth the extra money. Overall I think this is a good generator and I understand sometimes even new parts are not manufactured properly. I believe the issue with my first generator was the fuel selector switch but I did not want to get to far into a repair or claim since I was able to return it without issue.

Best Bang for you Buck!

Packaged perfect for those rough deliveries and couldn't wait to open it. Followed the directions and connected it to my 25 lb. propane cylinder. Once the air purged from the line it fired right up and my concern was running my 15,000 BTU air conditioner on my RV. Until I get to my Trailer, I ran this unit with an equivalent portable AC unit and it did not disappoint. This unit is built to last and the remote start is extremely convenient.

Runs great. User manual not right one.

Ran well right out of box, quiet at low loads. Make sure to follow a good break in procedure. Recommend adding a step before starting by turning over the engine with the pull cord a few time to cycle oil (with battery OFF you don't want it to start yet). Then start following procedure outlined. Time will tell how reliable it is since mine is still new, but everything worked as delivered. Oil fill leaked a bit with the .6L bottle shipped; not easy to get under the engine inside the cover to clean up, so it comes out the bottom holes eventually. Make sure you fill somewhere that can stand a bit of oil. One annoyance was the user manual that came with mine was apparently for an older version iGen4500DF. It was missing info on the parallel outlets and their operation for example. Shipping boxes didn't match either, no picture or mention of these outlets. This was one of the key features I wanted to be able to run dual AC and other electronics in the summer heat off grid. At first I was concerned the gen didn't have the ports, but when I opened the box to my relief they were there. I later found the right manual online. Wasted some time but ended up with the right gen and documentation.
