All the features I needed

Dual fuel with remote start are excellent features. With push button start and full of useful gauges. This is going to be used at a Fire Academy for smoke machines and lights. Being able to shut it down remotely during a class discussion is a real plus. And quiet too.

Propane or Gasoline

My wife and I did a lot of research and found this generator is the one for us. It was delivered today via UPS. Took about 15 minutes from box to starting. Love the 3 starting options and is very quite. Also like the fact we can run on gas or propane. Will be taking camping next week.

TOP OF THE LINE

I purchased the iGen4500DF to operate my entire travel trailer. After receiving the generator and running it through the break-in process I put it to the test and it did not stumble once! Very quite, very powerful and very affordable! Great features and easy to use! I would highly suggest this affordable dual fuel generator to anyone looking for a powerhouse!

Great Insurance!

I purchased the iGen 4500DFc after many hours of research over a 2-week period. I went back and forth between inverters and larger open-frame models. In the end, I decided I don't really need to power a lot of items at once, but I want the capability to power more than just one or two small items. This one fell in between, and when combined with the dual fuel capability, CO sensor, and quiet operation, I knew it was the right choice for me at this time. Power outages are fairly infrequent and short duration in my area, so I hope to never need it. However, I will set it up and maintain it regularly so it will be reliable insurance if it is needed.

Exactly what I needed

So far so good! I tested it out on my Travel Trailer Toy Hauler and I was able to run the A/C 13.5k BTU, the fridge and the microwave on propane and was only about 75% to max capacity. I will be be able to boondock longer with this generator and not worry about the heat. The features are exactly what I needed and wanted. I took off one star because I knew it wasn't going to be light, but wasn't expecting this to be as heavy as it is, even without gas, my wife would not be able to lift it by herself and I don't want to lift this too many times myself, like once a year would be good. The other thing is the collapsible handle is all the way on the bottom basically where the ground is, so you have to bend down touch the ground to pull it out. Once the handle is in hand and pulling it around isn't bad, I was hoping for rubber wheels and this is just plastic. To be honest, these are minor issues compared to what you get, I don't think anyone has all the features with this wattage as this dual fuel inverter generator does. Overall a great product, meets and exceeds my expectations and is the only Dual Fuel with not only electric start, but remote start as well that can handle my camper with the 4500 peak watts.

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.

Seems solid

Followed instructions for first start up & seems to work as it should. Operated off gas or propane. I've only briefly ran my air compressor & Dewalt 12" miter saw off it. Main use is to use wirh my RV but haven't been able to try it out yet. Also by giving this review Westinghouse says they will send me a cover for it. We shall see?

Powers my RV AC no problem

I researched a lot of generators to make sure that it could run my RV AC without issue. I have used the generator a few times with the RV and had no problems - it is nowhere near its max output capacity. I also purchased this to make sure the food in my home refrigerators did not spoil if there was an extended power outage. This unit has some great features not normally found on others, such as the power output, run time meter, and dual fuel. I especially like that I can run the unit with propane since the tanks are easy to transfer and I have a few of them around the house already. The battery start is also a nice touch that makes firing up the generator a breeze.

Easy Startup & Quiet

This is a review of the 1st use. Everything needed came with the generator for quick setup. Startup was easy. I had to search from some information in the manual, that probably would have made sense to be in the quick start guide (ie oil fill procedure or at least full level indicator). Other than that, the unit was quick and easy to set up. It was much quieter than expected as well. Next step is to take it out for a camping trip.

Perfect for Boondocking

Have been researching inverter generators for our boondocking trips in our travel trailer. This model (4500DF) supplies equivalent power to a 30amp plug-in so we don’t have to worry about rationing our usage. Very impressed with the quietness of this model.
