I recently bought my generator for camping and was quite impressed with just how quiet my new IGen4500DF generator ran. I'm also very impressed with the remote starter which allows me to start the generator from inside the camper, a feature that I appreciated when the snow hits overnight.

Right out of the box all you have to do is put oil in it and hook up the battery. You can start it with gas or propane, I chose propane and all the hoses came with it. It started on the first try and kept going. It’s very quiet running it didn’t bother the neighbors, so far I am very pleased with it.

Adding a Propane Quick connect on the front panel (like a very similar competitor model has) and a Bluetooth connection to your phone (like a very similar competitor model has) would be great additions to this generator. Other than that, I believe that this is the all-around best camping / basic RV generator out there.

We bought this a month ago to use with our toy hauler. It works great with limited noise level. Be careful not to place too close to any windows or doors during use! Our carbon monoxide detector went off during the first night of using the unit. We moved it further away from the trailer but haven’t tried it since.

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with the Westinghouse iGen4500DF Dual Fuel Generator. As someone who values reliability, performance, and versatility, this generator has truly exceeded my expectations on all fronts. From the moment I unpacked the iGen4500DF, its build quality and attention to detail were evident. The sturdy construction and thoughtful design elements instilled confidence that this generator was designed to last. But it's the performance that truly sets this generator apart. The dual fuel capability is an absolute game-changer. Being able to switch between gasoline and propane as fuel sources offers incredible flexibility. Whether dealing with a power outage, camping trip, or any situation where electricity is needed, having this choice ensures peace of mind. The transition between fuels is seamless, and the generator runs smoothly on both options.

Recently decided to upgrade from my old generator to this quiet inverter type generator for my RV. Wow what a difference! Push button start, dual fuel capable and quiet, runs everything on my RV with no problems at all. I should have done this years ago.

iGEN4500D/F delivery a day early, Easy assembly: add oil & gas, connect battery lead. ran for 4 hours, then tested under load & ,voltage was consistent. switched over to propane ,was smooth with some hesitation to be expected ,low idle was not as smooth but acceptable. operated well under load. I was not able to connect to my RV it is in storage. but operated under load for an hour from 1500- 3150 watts. I also want to note this is the 04511REV01 . does not have carb/choke issues as previous one have had. I will do a follow up after I test on my RV !!

I just received the generator. The good news, it worked day 1 with propane. The bad news, it won't run on gas. I've tried all the trouble shooting I could find in the manual and online. So far to no avail. I'm waiting for a call back from tech support which is why i'm here. They won't help until you register the generator you just bought. It's a little frustrating as it's a brand new and it doesn't fully work. I'm hoping that with some help from tech support I can get it up and running.

Step 2 in the manual after connecting the battery is add the oil provided. The whole bottle. And what happens? A lot of it runs out of the generator all over my driveway because it didn't need the whole bottle. Then we have a features page in the manual which doesn't come close to matching the location of the features on the generator. And the instructions for paralleling inverter operation fail to state that if the generator has two black inputs (rather than 1 black and 1 red like the cable), then color coding on the cable doesn't matter. One can stumble into that information by going on-line by looking at pictures associated with the cable. The generator started up nicely using propane after pressing the on/off button and again very nicely using the remote. I didn't fire it up with gasoline yet, but when I do the gas will NOT contain any ethanol. I plugged the generator into a 50 amp power inlet box located outside by the main breaker (using the parallel cable and a 30 ft 50 amp generator cable after taking the central air and hot water heater off line and the results were very good. Had several computers and printers running, TV, refrigerator, microwave, a bunch of lights, and use of the garage door. I bought a second IGEN 4500 (gas unit as the DF units are sold within hours of receipt it seems) to use for parallel use with the DF unit. Haven't taken that unit out of box yet. I won't be able to use central air even running two units in parallel, but I will be able to run a wall rattler AC and perhaps use a burner on the stove if I manage other items carefully when a stove burner is on. The generator is very very quiet. The hardware is great; so what's the reason why the manual can't be good?

I bought this unit so I could keep my home/office up and running during a long power outage or disaster if needed and for job site use. This unit is very easy to prep for first time use and fired up on the second pull of the manual start. The remote start makes things even easier. it is a great back up system
