Awesome inverter generator!

This is the second iGen I have bought, gave the first one (4500) to our son. Have had to use it numerous times during the year and expect to use it more as our power seems to be coming less reliable. I typically run it on propane but having the gasoline option is very convinent! Great machine, totally recommend it!

All the features I wanted

I've just had this a day but I was very impressed when I pulled gently on the recoil starter handle to test the compression and it started right up! After that I started it a number of times using the battery/starter, sometimes with the remote fob. Everything worked. It is quiet enough that you can have a normal conversation standing beside the unit while it is running (in non-eco mode at about 1/2 power output). It also handled my RV air conditioner plus the electric water heater (which I would not run while on generator, really). It would not handle the second air conditioner - undoubtedly because of the starting current. I haven't tried the propane fuel, yet, but I intend to shortly.

iGen4500DF Rocks!!

It can be stressful trying to be sure you buy the right generator. I watched a lot of videos and looked t a lot of generators/reviews. I decided to go with the iGen4500 and am extremely satisfied. This is a solid generator, had easy setup and is quiet, which is what I am looking for while camping with a 35' camper. The remote start and duel fuel are a great plus. Great generator for the money.

So far so good!

I just unboxed this product and fueled it up - after watching a quick Youtube video, I was able to connect the battery, add the oil, and get it started! I plugged it into my camper and was thrilled to learn that it was able to power everything, including the AC, Fridge, and Lights at only 50% capacity. Very happy with my purchase and looking forward to taking it camping this weekend!

Ease of setup

We lost power during Helene for over a week. I got this in case this happens again. I also bought a propane heater so this would be used for other things like electric blanket or toaster oven, chargers etc. I think it will be more than sufficient. The product was easy to use and besides the propane or gas did not require additional things for setup.

Well designed generator

I just recieved my generator and was impressed with the nice quality look and feel of the generator. It took a few try’s to get it started but after it started I was again impressed by the quiet running machine even when on high RPM. This generator offered all my requirements of DF , remote start , wheel kit and inverted. So far it’s exceeded my expectations.

features

I run sensitive equipment and must have an inverter generator. this is one of the more capable units out there. plus i can run it on propane.It has plenty of outlets and can run in parallel with another unit. I use it for my rv and to run essential circuits in the house when we loose power. Very happy with the generator

Best Generator on the market!!

I own 2 of these generators/inverters because they are super quiet, have remote start and are duel fuel. They are easy to transport and have gotten me and my family thru 2 hurricanes in Florida. I have researched alot of generators and Westinghouse is the best with all the features you want and need.

Like size and portability

I have a larger generator that is great, but is difficult to transport. I wanted a smaller generator and something quieter (this is why I went with an inverter). This meets both criteria. I also like the ability to use either gas or propane. Good so far.

Great design!

This is our first generator. We researched a lot of them. It is everything we looked for in a generator. The built in handle is a great feature making it easy to move. also it is very quite for a 4500. Just as quite as a 2200. Used it with propane the first time and had no problems. The remote start is awesome. didn't have to leave the RV to start it. Would recommend it. John.
