Lots of features and reasonably quiet.

I bought this to power an air operated caliope that is nearly 100 years old. There are many makes and models of gensets to choose from. I like this one because of the dual fuel, the quiet operation, the electric start, and the built-in wheels and steering handle as well as the two heavy duty carrying handles. It works well on propane and runs very clean. Engine oil should last very well because of the propane. Overall, a great machine.

Pretty cool little Inverter-Generator!

I lost power 4 times in 2023. I don't have a big house (1062 SQ.FT) so I started researching what to purchase to run the necessities. I knew that I wanted one that was compact and easy to move around. I went with the iGen4500DF Inverter-Generator for all these reasons plus it got some good reviews. Although I haven't "officially" used it yet, I did complete the "break in" period so I got to see how it starts and runs. The electric start was really great and also the duel fuel. I had it hooked up to a 20lb LP tank and let it run for 4-5 hours. I plugged in different things to see how the control panel worked. It has some really nice bells and whistles on the control panel with gauges, lights and digital displays. Pretty cool machine!

Pretty Quiet

We just purchased this and are only halfway through the break in period. So far we are happy with the quietness and amount of load it handles on propane. The oil filler is rather difficult to get to and caused some scraped knuckles. We really like the extendable handle.

Quite

I bought this for my fifth wheel and it is very quite. You can actually have a conversation while standing right next to it, Also, it has plenty of power and will run the whole fifth wheel, including the A/C and Microwave at the same time, with no problems

Great portable generator

I just purchased th 4000 watt gas/ propane inverter gen to use with my camper. I'm impressed with it's construction and the fact that Westinghouse includes everything you need to use it: oil, propane hose with regulator and generator connection cable for hooking up 2 gens. It also came with wheels installed and pull handle. Most other gens you buy you have to pay separately for all these extras. I really well built unit

Great setup

Have had a little over a week used it on one camping trip. Features I appreciate are remote start, wife likes it better, fuel gauge, ability to wheel around and drip tray at gas filler cap. One thing I would like different is oil filler neck and level check extended further out.

Very Smooth

I needed a generator that will power my RV, without having to worry about it having enough power for everything. This Igen500df has plenty of power for my rv and then some. I love the dual fuel feature and the remote start. I plan on primarily using propane and have it set up on the back of my travel trailer using an electric scooter carrier that has a ramp. The generator is easy to roll up the ramp, so I don't have to lift it on the carrier. The remote start works very well, very nice to start the generator from inside the trailer.

Like all the little features that it has

Bought it for mainly my camper, I like the power that it has for an inverter generator and all of the different features it has. They made it the way it should be made. Had a little problem with shipped bad fuel making float stick but cleaned it and it runs like a champ now.

The I GEN 4500 DF

I ran it on propane so far and it has ran great. Remote start is awesome as well. I haven't tried gas yet but I will soon. The only issue I see so far, and it might be my problem not understanding how it's supposed to work, but the display just stays in P mode and doesn't cycle through to show me the other statuses. If I can't get it to work I'm sure tech-support will work with me so far I'm very happy with the unit.

Dual fuel on generator.

Replacing the onboard generator in our older Class C RV. Propane tank on camper is a fuel we want to utilize when we can. Having power always available is a medical necessity for my wife and I. We hope to be enjoying our RV for a long time because of this generator. Thanks
