great quiet capable generator

first use 6 months after we bought it. very easy and quick to set up and get going. started right up and runs very quietly. we bought it to power our 31 foot camper, which it does very well. it even powered most of our house during the power outage after hurricane milton.

Great looking machine.

Bought this unit after my 2 Firman generators died. Saw it was highly rated so picked it up on sale. Solid build quality. Love the fact that it's a 3.4 gallon tank too. Can keep the A/c or heater running all night long in our trailer. Looking to take it out soon to test it out

IGEN4500DF

Just bought this. I am very pleased and it provides great power and very quiet. I think this is made very well and looks like great quality. I am using this for our 37 foot travel trailer as a boon docking power source. I am using it to run a 15K AC with no problem. I would of gave this a 5 star review but the electric choke is not working and I need to rectify the issue or return it to a Service center. I will try to reconnect the wires myself first. But customer service was very pleasant to deal with. I would reccommend this to a friend without hesitation.

DISCONNECTED choke wire

I picked up the generator from the supply store and noticed that it was running rough. So I checked the auto choke wire issue I found on YouTube. I pulled a bunch of screws off and reconnected the little wire to the back of the control panel and it works fine now. I love the duel fuel option and am very happy with the generator. It will be powering my entire house along with the reliance controls interface box which is wired into the panel of the house.

Perfect generator for my requirements.

The electric start with the automatic choke has been excellent. I'm an old man (84 years old) and being able to just press a button to start the generator has been wonderful. It works every time. The long pull out handle makes moving the generator very easy. It is a well made unit.

Great little Genny

So far very happy with generator. Design of gen access doors, oil and fuel fill areas are very good. If you are a camping above 3000ft be sure to buy the High Altitude Kit as it will save you a lot of headaches, otherwise you will find out it will not operate very good.

Everything I needed in a generator!

I bought this for an off-grid cabin in order to charge my solar system when it is down in the winter....the first thing I did after a very prompt delivery was to put in the supplied oil and test the unit...it fired right up on propane....(I have not tested it on gasoline yet)....the battery was fully charged and the remote works good....the second thing I did was to change out the oil for a lower viscosity because I will be running this mainly in the winter at 0 degree weather....the only complaint, or I should say improvement I would like to see, is when I shut off the unit with the remote at say 9pm and then wish to restart it at 7am, the battery is dead because the little indicator light for the "battery on" switch kills the battery.....maybe if it was a led or intermitant light it would last all night....oh well, I will just have to go out in the snow and push the button....otherwise, a very quiet unit even compared to my old honda pull start.

reply from Westinghouse

Hi Michael, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate all the feedback we get. Regarding your battery, if your generator has been exposed to colder temperatures in the morning then it will accelerate the amount of power drained which then leads to a dead battery. If you wish to continue using your remote feature at night, you can resolve this issue by charging your battery for up to 6-8 hours (no longer) while the unit is off during the day then use the remote start as normal at night after your session. However, we are so glad to hear the iGen4500DF has been everything you've been looking for in a generator! Enjoy it while you're out in the cabins!

Great Generator

I purchased this generator after a two day power outage. I look at other manufacture but Westinghouse had the best review and was still in my price range. I order it on Apr 6 and hit arrive 11 April. I decided to not let in run with not load for a few hours and did a oil change. The generator is super quiet i had it on my back deck and could barely hear it in my living room. I know this is the first day having this generator but so far i am glad i purchased this brand.

High Build Quality

I purchased this Westinghouse iGen5000DFc based on my research. The information I found lead me to choose this unit over many other brands that I researched. When I got it home and unboxed it and I was immediately impressed with the build quality. After reading the documentation I felt confident I made the correct decision. The manual was clear and informative. I examined the unit thoroughly getting familiar with the location of all the significant items and at that point I knew I had made the correct purchase.

User friendly generator for RVing

I bought this particular model because of its low decibal rating, portability, previous reviews and its dual fuel capability. The set up is straight forward and the instructions easy to follow. I look forward to using this on our cross country adventure this summer!!
