Amazing, Smooth, Quiet, Powerful

After a great deal of research and purchasing (then returning) a bigger, louder competing brand, we are thrilled and extremely impressed with our Westinghouse iGen4500DF Inverter Generator. It is extremely well made, well packaged, clearly well supported, and purrs like a kitten at all power settings. We use it as a backup power source for our entire home, are able to take it with us on the road, and love the user friendly features. Win win win win. Couldn't be happier with our purchase.

Compact, "Duel Fuel"!!

I purchased this generator/inverter after losing power during a series of storms. I selected it based on compact size, wattage, electric start but primarily because it will run on both gasoline and propane. I've had small engine trouble (15 hp Yamaha outboard) due to ethanol fuel separation after storage. Since this generator is only for occasional use, and I always have fresh propane for my BBQ, the "Duel Fuel" capability sealed the deal. I'm still breaking it in, so I can't comment yet on longevity. Very pleased with purchase!!

Great features and power

Recently bought this and so far, I am not disappointed. Did a lot of research on dual fuel generators and what sold me was the dual fuel, power output, remote start, and reasonable size. This generator will ultimately pull double duty as a RV power source and also partial home backup power. For those wanting to remote the exhaust, this is very easy to do with how the exhaust is set up. No fabrication necessary. 1" silicone high temp hose and a host clamp is all you really need. Just be sure to put a CO2 sensor by it. Safety first! Some reviews talked about having to do some work to their generator's choke to make it run. I didn't have to do that. Put the oil in it and connected the battery. Generator started on the 2nd crank of the remote button. My only knock on this was that the manual says that the oil resevoir is 0.6 quarts. The oil they give you in the box also has 0.6 quarts. I dumped all the oil in it thinking that it would not overflow. wrong! Don't do what I did. Check it after you have put about 3/4 of the bottle in the unit. Save yourself the mess.

Excellent Value, Performance and Features

I have been researching inverter/generator brands for months for use with our new GD Imagine 2800BH for camping/boondocking. This generator is perfect for powering our rig when we are remote camping. It can even run our AC unit! Excellent quality and built like a tank.

Great little generator

I bought this unit despite some negative reviews about the automatic choke issue that some have experienced. Mine was perfect and I am extremely happy that it is running as expected. It's relatively quiet, and the setup was simple. I was glad I did some reading before adding the oil because it does not need the whole bottle and causes issues if overfilled. I decided to go the LP route to avoid having to mess with gasoline and the storage issues that go with it, but it's nice to have the option to use gas if needed. I am currently 4 hours into the break-in procedure and have been alternately powering multiple different items to vary the load during that time: full-size refrigerator/freezer, medium size upright freezer, large LED TV, and a lamp. I did have to invest in a few other items like a 30A extension cord, a Gen-Tent, and an adapter for the 30A receptacle on the unit. We have lost food twice this year to power outages, so this will give us some peace of mind to be able to keep some lights on and the food cold when it happens again.

Perfect for our Livingquarters Horsetrailer

Starts easy, runs very quiet, no problems with running our AC, fridge, microwave, hot-water-heater, water-pump and lights all at the same time! Remote works from inside of the trailer which is very convenient. I wish it was not as heavy as it is, but pulling it on the wheels is easy. Lifting it in the truck or trailer will take 2 of us (mother-daughter-team)

For my horse trailer with living quarters

I purchased this generator over the mass market cheaper ones for the dual fuel capability. I intend to use it on my horse trailer with living quarters.On trips where it needs to be stored in the horse trailer portion I wont have to wotty about gas fumes and our horses because of its ability to run on propane(no need to store with gas in it)

Ample power & long runtime

I bought this generator prior to Hurricane Beryl and am glad I did. When the power went out, we had plenty of capacity to power a refrigerator, tv, router and a handful of fans. The generator is fuel-efficient and ran for quite some time (gasoline) - I like the ability to power the generator with propane as well.

Quiet! Runs Smooth So Far

Only ran this unit a couple of hours and not under any heavy load but so far impressed with the operation. Couldn't start it initially on Gas, on LP, but once it was running it easily switched over to Gas. Runs quiet and smooth. Looking forward to many years of continued service. Really love the remove start feature.

So far so good!

Got this model because of favorable reviews. Easy set up and started right up with propane. Do not plan to use gasoline. Very quiet running; could speak normally without raising our voices. So far no complaints but have yet to give it a thorough run. I'm sure it will power everything I need for emergency backup, and since it's an inverter, won't harm my sensitive electronics. I had an electrician install an interlock in my electric panel so I can run anything I want within the wattage limit.
