Quiet power full

I bought the 4500DF and it’s quiet and power full runs 8hours a day. I use gas but use propane for back up so I don’t run out of fuel. We liked it so much we bought another for the house. Much more bang for you buck than a Honda and it’s just a quiet reliable as one.

Great for RVing

I bought this for my travel trailer and love the features of remote start, quiet operation, long run times, collapsible handle, large wheels, and the multi purpose display. Its size is perfect for my F150 and fits under my bed cover so people cant see it. It is a little on the heavy side for one person to lift in and out of the truck but can be done. Easily powers the trailers A/C unit with power to spare for other items. The dual fuel will come in handy if I run out of gas while camping. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that if you leave the battery switch on overnight with the generator off, it will drain the battery defeating the use of the remote start in the morning. So at the end of the day, you have to turn that switch off, which will not allow the unit to start until you turn the switch back on.

I like the dashboard. Easy to read and use

Bought this about two weeks ago. Just got it. Took it out the box today and running it through the break in procedure with the break oil provided. It started right away. Ran it a little while on gas and decided to finish the break in on propane. Easy to hook up and switch fuel supply. Runs smoother on propane than gas. But that makes sense, I expected that. I am an old propane guy. Engines always run better on propane.

SO FAR SO GOOD!

Recently bought this generator. So far, I am pleased with it. I connected it right away to propane bottle & it started right up. I was very impressed with how well it performed. It's easy to maneuver with the pull handle & lightweight for a generator of this size. Just what I was looking for.

Excellent Generator

This compact generator is definitely a great buy and a workhorse. Two months after I bought it for backup power during Texas hurricane season I had to put it to work. Power was out for only 12 hours but I had prepped it and ran it several hours in the months prior and it performed flawlessly. It has great features and is very intuitively designed. Sound is minimal at low load and it ramps up quickly and gets louder but still, at max, is quieter than most other cheaper gens. The manual also has reasonable periodic maintenance unlike some cheap models that require service way too soon for basic parts like brushes that should last fore years and years before needing replacement - read the manual first before you decide. Definitely would buy another!

iGen 11000TFc

I purchased this generator for my mobile food business. Had the iGen 4500 that we had used for camping for several years. I was so impressed with that one that I upgraded to the 11000 for my new food trailer. I've only had it a short time but so far it runs quietly and has no problem pulling the load of an AC, Fridge, Water heater, and a refrigerated prep rail. I could add more equipment to the trailer and the iGen11000 would have no problem with it.

Looks good so far

The unit arrived ahead of schedule by several days however.... they set it in my driveway conveniently infant of the garage door but.... upside down. When opened and removed from the shipping bag there was oil on all the surfaces. HOPEFULLY this is just cosmetic and I know there is usually some residual oil left in the machine. Heavy but rolls easily. Surprised the 30A receptical was not for a locking plug. Used to seeing them on marine applications. Looking forward to starting it up on propane since the house is plumbed for it and has two very large supply tanks.

iGen5000DFc > Hurricane Milton

We bought the Westinghouse iGen5000DFc when we moved to Florida (from Minnesota) as part of our hurricane preparations. Hurricane Milton put it to the test and the generator performed amazingly! It was capable of powering a deep freezer, refrigerator, portable air conditioner, 2 fans and other small appliances as needed (i.e., Keurig coffee maker) and was only using 50% capacity. We highly recommend the iGen5000DFc!

Pleasantly Surprised

I have had the iGEN4500 for a couple of weeks. It had no box damage but the shipping caused the battery strap to break. Ordered a new one, no charge. Added fresh oil (included) and some fuel. Followed the instruction on top of the unit and pressed the remote control button. Unit started right up. So easy. It is so quiet that I could have a conversation standing next to the unit! Hooked up a saw and it sensed the load and handled it just fine. Very happy and pleasantly surprised.

compact and well made

A little hard to work inside of compartment. Battery came loose and strap broke while trying to install it. Oil overflowed on first fill-up, even though volume of bottle of oil provided (nice) matched labelled capacity of generator. Suggest putting battery hook-up and oil fill info in "quick start" guide. Otherwise, really appreciate all the features and look forward to many hours of good service from this generator.
