Works Great!

I was looking for a generator with enough power that wasn't too loud. This one is not loud at all, has a 30amp plug outlet perfect for RV's, you can use gas or propane! It's' super easy to set up, and comes with wheels and a slide-in and out handle. We are very pleased with this purchase.

So far, so good

I just bought this, so my review is limited to first impressions. I read the manual, unboxed it, added oil, connected the battery, connected the propane, and it started right up. It is reasonably quiet. I appreciate the features and the info provided by the lcd screen. I'm looking forward to the next power outage, which in SE Texas could happen any day now.

Just What We Seniors Needed

Quite simple our almost new inverter/generator crapped out on us at the most beautiful campground we ever stayed at. Ordered online our new IGen4500DF and 2 days later we were back in business. What a pleasure to wake up, push a button and have the gen start and 20 minutes later our bedroom was warm enough to get out of bed. Thank You Westinghouse!

Great Customer Service and Good product

My first IGen generator had a recall on the unit and was sent a new generator which did not start on gas. Customer service was very helpful and was able to get me a new one quickly which has been working well. Prior to the recall unit the generator was working well and was used on several camping trips this year. The lighter weight is nice without sacrificing quality. Very easy set-up and I especially like the ability to start the unit with the key fob from the trailer without having to go to the unit when needing to run the microwave for a short period. The unit is quieter than most generators. I picked this unit for the portability and ability to wheel it to a given location and it has not disappointed.

Everything I wanted, but it has issues.

I bought this generator for my RV because it had the power to run my A/C and other RV accessories, it is an inverter generator (for my electronics) with dual fuel capability and remote start, and it was advertised as very quiet. From the start, the generator battery was not viable. The remote and electric start did not work. I removed and charged the battery and after replacing it, the generator started at home. But when I went to camp, it failed again. The generator would not start by any means at times, then out of the blue (after a while), it would start with the rope pull. It is not happy without a fully charged strong/viable battery. This is a common issue I found in other reviews. The generator shut down on a hot day with temperatures just under 100 degrees (when we needed it most) even though it was in the shade. When it did work, it was very nice. It uses a lot of fuel and is noisier than expected, but these are things I can live with at their current levels. The exterior makeup of the generator is very cheap with plastic clip-on covers and switch protectors that pop off during the first use of the machine. It is light weight for all you get in the generator which is nice. Perhaps a wi-fi link to a cell phone app would take this to the next level to monitor everything on the front display from inside the RV?? This generator has ton of potential if Westinghouse would bullet-proof the important selling point items such as remote start, electric start, run reliability and sound output.

Great features although a little heavy

I have only used this generator for a few hours but I am very happy with the performance thus far. I am still breaking the unit in, but have tested it out on power tools, my refrigerator, and a microwave. I have not yet tried the unit with gas, but the engine started immediately with propane. Very happy thus far!

Will be a great generator

Just unpacked, filled with oil, and ran the generator to try it out. All looks well so far but I have not run it more than 5 minutes. The features and style look great. I did my homework prior to purchasing it and believe it will be perfect for my emergency home power backup and power for my travel trailer when I need to run the AC and microwave when off the grid. I wish it has is a designated security point to attach a chain to or through for theft deterrence. I plan to run my security chain through the handles which will stop simple theft but I do not believe the two top carry handles are hardened thus making them difficult to cut with a metal saw. Also, bolt holes in the bottom to enable simple bolting down of it to a generator rack or other base would be a great feature.

Had all the features I was looing for

Ran great during the break in period, changed oil and ran it at home. Getting ready for a trip, my wife said she smells gas. The generator then sputtered then died, like it was running out of gas. I took off the side panel and noticed gas leaking all over the place. Somewhere at the fuel line. I cleaned up what I could and let it sit overnight. The gas leaked all over the wiring and god only knows what else. It now will not come close to starting. Its too bad this gen. was the only one with the features I wanted at a reasonable price. It had only 23 hours on it all break in hrs.
