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.

I just purchased iGen4500. Shipped quick from authorized retailer. Nicely layed out control panel and weather resistant covers. A bit louder than I assumed. I think that is my lack of knowledge on db rating for generators. I measured this at 52db at 20ft on Eco Mode on light load. I then turned on a/c, all interior and exterior lights, radio and refrigerator and ran microwave the generator ran at 64db at 20 feet away. I haven't put it through use yet so, I can't accurately rate its performance but out of the box and first start I was very happy with my purchase.

after 11 months of storage, sitting in the garage, on the charger, run once a month for 10 minutes since first fueling, the starter has failed. never actually used the unit to provide power, but kept in a ready state. very upset customer. also, in an attempt to upload a video per this Westinghouse review page, youtube automatically classified my 37 second video a "short" and this URL type is not valid for upload to this review section. only standard antiquated youtube URL's can be uploaded here. 1 star all around.

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.

This generator was the 3rd one purchased in 3 months because the others were not up to the capacity that we needed. It is performing to our expectations and it truly is super quiet. We use it several times a week for our business so it needed to be dependable. We are not disappointed finally!

I just received my 4500 dual fuel generator, that I purchased for my Fifth wheel RV. It has the features I was looking for, including dual fuel, 30 amp plug, and enough amperage to run air conditioners and more. I unboxed the unit, filled it with oil, hooked up the battery and started it on LP, using the remote control. It started right away and ran properly. I have not yet tested the output or used the unit, but I looking forward to giving it a try. I gave this 4 stars, only because I have not used it in working conditions.

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.

I selected this because it was big enough to run anything in my house, it had electric start, it would run on gas or propane, it was an inverter, and it was small enough to easily move. After prepping it, it started right up on propane. To test it I ran a circular saw and a reciprocating saw together. I'm a satisfied customer.

I purchased this generator over the mass market cheaper ones for the dual fuel capability. I intend to use it on my horse trailer with living quarters.On trips where it needs to be stored in the horse trailer portion I wont have to wotty about gas fumes and our horses because of its ability to run on propane(no need to store with gas in it)

I just recently purchased the generator but have not used it yet. Even though i was originally looking into a smaller unit but after reading the features and the capabilities i decided to go with 4500 model. The manual is straight forward and easy to read. The remote start im sure will be a great convience. The dual fuel capability gives me flexibility.
