Just purchased this awesome generator

Right out of the box, I was impressed. Instructions are simple to follow and it comes with everything need, besides fuel. The telescopes handle make it easy to move around. It is quite, which is a definite plus. The remote fob is a nice touch too. I have not ran gas through it yet, as I do not want fuel sitting in it and go bad from sitting up too long. It does weight almost 100lbs and I was aware of this before I bought it. This generator is well designed and packed with great features. Zero buyers remorse.

Super quiet, plenty powerful, yay remote start!

We have been using this inverter for three weeks now and are so happy with it. It's nice and quiet, powerful enough to run the fancy schmancy gadgets in our off-grid cabin, and the remote works great through walls and doors. Thanks Westinghouse for making an awesome product!

Everything Needed in a Gen/Inverter

Came in secured, excellent packaging. Quick start instructions were easy to read with pixs !!! Up and running in less than 15 minutes. (After connecting plug to battery and adding the provided 10w/30W oil...Tested on our RV with the Air Conditioner, worked great...Would definitely buy again..

Performs very well

I broke it in per the manual and have since run it at various loads through its rated limits. It is both surprisingly quiet and fuel efficient and has very low vibration. I was concerned that changing oil may have been awkward, but to my surprise again, it was very easy. I have used it on both gas and LPG. Easy to use, easy to start... Great generator! My remaining concerns are: How long will it last and parts availability. Time will tell! So far, I am a happy user!

Great product

The generator worked very well for our 35-foot fifth wheel trailer. It was much quieter than our old one and very efficient. The only complaint is that the battery for the electric start is not sufficient to last through the night. After we hooked up a larger battery, the electric start/remote worked every morning, which was sure better than going outside in 25-degree weather. We did find it started better with gas than propane when it was cold. All in all, we are very happy with this purchase.

First Impressions Good So Far

I don't normally like to leave ratings until I've fully used the product for a long amount of time but because I've been asked to leave a review in exchange for a cover I'll leave a review based on first impressions and come back and alter it if need be. So far I'm happy with the product although I haven't been able to fully test yet! It's definitely one of the best products in this category you can find when you compare it spec and feature wise with all of the competitors. Looking forward to using it more to determine if it fully lives up to what it says!

Great Features; Great Price!

I’m glad I bought this generator. It’s it good value and great quality. I was originally looking at a Honda but this generator has over twice the power, accepts propane, and is still pretty quiet. Seems to be decent quality so far. Runs both my fridges and coffee maker at 25% capacity. Should work great for what I need!

Impressive First Run...

We experienced a 20 hour power outtage 2 days before Christmas, so I vowed to take the plunge and make sure were were never without power again. We received the unit much sooner than expected. I prepared the unit and gave it a good 5 hour "Break-in", varying the load as required. Nice, quiet, smooth running engine. It performed flawlessly as it did its job. Now 'm almost hoping for a power outtage.

Excellent Generator!

We just bought this generator at the beginning of December knowing the we get many power outages in the winter months. We just had to give it a trial run and it worked beautifully! We had zero issues with startup. The unit is quiet, much quite than we anticipated, which we love! The remote start is a really neat bonus feature as well. We're confident this is the perfect generator for our families needs. Highly recommend!

Easy to get up and running.

Just got this iGen4500DF and ran for a few hours to break it in. Tried the conversion from has to LP and vice versa and was as seamless while running as advertised. Ran under load for another hour and seems to be something I can rely on for years to come when remote camping or to power my refrigerators and freezers when we inevitably lose power again.
