Nice generator

Well had to be worked on rite out of the box , plug for choke was disconnected , had to remove side covers and front and rear covers also to plug connector in for choke , also sent a faulty regulator with unit , generator runs great after tearing it down to repair it , should not have to work on it straight from the box

Very Pleased. Well constructed & well thought out.

Liked what I read about this before buying. Even more impressed when I received it. Attractive. Quality construction. Well thought out. Included accessories and documentation is top notch. Pleasantly surprised to discover the sturdy extension handle which was not described n the sales write-up. Thanks Westinghouse!

Better than expected

After extensive research I knew that the IGEN4500DF was what I was looking for. I wanted quiet running, long run time, clean power and duel fuel option. The electric start with remote was a bonus. I found nothing in it's price range that even came close. First, very fast shipping and truly a plug and play. Everything comes in the box. No trips to the hardware store. It is quieter than my 2000 watt inverter. General impression, it looks and feels like good equipment.

Very Nice Generator!

After ordering this we had to wait almost a month for a backorder to come in but are very satisfied with the Generator now that we have it!! It seems easy to use and after a few hours of low use to break it in, seems to start and run on either propane or gas, the 13500BTU air conditioner on our camper with no problem!! So far, extremely satisified with the product and would recommend it to a friend!

Can't beat it!

We bought this generator because our power is often shut off when there is a risk of a fire starting in our area. We wanted dual fuel with an inverter. This generator fit the bill. It's also quiet. It has some nice features, such as battery or manual start. We feel confident that this generator will meet our needs the next time our power shuts off!

Great features

Just added the oil, connected the battery, installed the hose and regulator, turned the switch on and pressed the on button on the remote. It started immediately and I could not believe how quiet it runs. I'll test it out in the next 2 weeks on our first camping trip of the season but it made a 5 Star first impression.

I'm impressed

I just received this yesterday. I put gas in and hooked up the propane. I started it on gas first and it started immediately. Then I started it on propane. Same thing. I was really impressed with how quiet it is. I haven't had it under a load yet. I need to start breaking it in. So far I am happy with it and am looking forward to using it. I am going to need a high altitude kit for it and the parts are listed in the book.

Super Quiet!! Smooth and Powerful

Bought this to power my newly acquired 33' 5th wheel, it powers my A/C unit and most everything else with no problem! In the evening I put it on ECO mode when just running lights, TV, etc., it throttles right down to an idle to where it can barley be heard! Starts immediately with remote control, I shut it off at night with the remote, when I get up I turn the main breaker off in my trailer, remote start the generator then turn on the main breaker in a minute or so, make my coffee! Excellent product! Very happy

Good generator, just an inch from greatness

Bought this during the big Puget Sound outage of November. It only ran for a day before power came back, but I'm glad to have bought it. I love that it can use propane, so I don't have to deal with gas storage and carburetor cleanup over time, and it's very compact and relatively quiet. It is quite heavy though, but the wheels and carry handle help. However, for 5 starts it would have to be perfect, and this has some missed opportunities. Adding oil in the beginning was an absolute pain, the oil cap is buried at the bottom, and the funnel provided is minuscule. A cheaper 2000watt generator from a diff brand had a much longer and easier funnel. How hard would be to put the oil cap and dipstick somewhere at the top? And I found the remote start/stop pretty pointless - what I really need, is a remote control to turn the eco mode on/off, for when I need to start some big honkin' motor, like a portable AC/heatpump or dehumidifier. These will overload the generator in eco mode. And you do want to have it in eco mode most of the times, it's thristy :) Otherwise highly recommended. I was eyeing this for a long time, wish I had bought it during some previous shorter outages, instead of half way through a 5 days one. If you are like me, and still on the fence whether to buy one or not, you now know what to do...
