Super quiet and easy to use

I bought this a month ago: it is very quiet, easy to use, intuitive and well made. The wheel design and handle also were well thought out. The remote start is great too. I highly recommend this for use with RV and trailers as it is quiet in parks.

Easy to use

Generator was super simple to set up and came well packaged. Starts up first try with no issues. Lots of great features making this very handy to have around the house along with small and simple to take on the go in the RV. No issues running the A/C unit in my RV as it has plenty of power.

Very easy set up!

I ordered my iGen5000DFc after a fair amount of research into which generator would best suit my needs for my RV. At the time of this review I have yet to use or even run my generator because camping season is still over a month away. One thing I can say is that I was very impressed with how easily this unit was to set up. After unboxing there's nothing to it. This has got to be the easiest setup for a generator this size that I have ever seen.

Simple startup. Worked like a charm

Received this as “open box” item. Oil was missing, but other than that everything was in great shape. Added oil (slowly), hooked up the battery, connected the propane, pressed the button, and bingo! Away she goes! Quiet as promised, a little larger (and heavier) than I thought it would be, but looks like it's gonna be a nice add to our trailer camping adventures.

Great Features and light weight

I bought this unit a couple of months ago and love it so far. It will be primarily used for camping, but also will give me peace of mind at home this winter for power outages. unit runs very well and is not loud at all, havent run on propane yet but will have a tank on hand in case of emergences

So Far, So Good

I purchased this dual fuel iGen4500 DFc generator a month ago and though I have not needed it for a power outage yet, that is primarily why I purchased it. I had help from a neighbor who is more experienced with generators than I to set it up and get it running. I then ran it myself for the 5 hour break in period that day as we were expecting a storm. I have given it 4 stars because it was a bit challenging to get the battery hooked up, due to the fiddly strap and positioning it properly. Also, it took a few tries to get it to start, and finally started it with the remote at a distance. The instructions said to vary the load during the break in period, and I used a hair dryer to accomplish that. I'm hopeful that I can give a more detailed review after using it for a time. I chose it because it has features that allow me, a senior female, to move it around easily, use different fuels, and use the digital readout to give me up to date info on fuel, load, running time etc.

Ample Power

Just picked up today, great features and plenty of quiet power for the money. I purchased as an emergency backup power source. I was using a 2000 watt that struggled to power 2 refrigerators, freezer, tv, lights and computer and phone chargers. the igen4500df will handle all that and more. Solid build with many features. And I can use propane or gas, very happy with this unit

Very attractive and functional.

This is my first generator and it is really nice. I connected it to my house through my electrical panel using an interlock to isolate from the grid and it handled all my 120 V loads (although I obviously had to limit simultaneous loading). Very attractive. So with planning, I can live comfortably in my home in an emergency situation as long as I have propane or gasoline. Stays cool after operating for hours. Great control panel. Handles load changes well. Easy to move around. However, while it may be quieter than most generators, especially open frame, the 52 dB noise level touted by Westinghouse is misleading. At 5 feet from the generator the noise level is about 80 dB. You have to get out about 60 feet or so from the generator to get down to 52 dB. So my one disappointment is that it is noisier than I thought it would be. But as I understand, it's still quieter than most. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

Lots of great features

I bought this generator to use for camping because all the electric sites get reserved so far in advance. It arrived in good shape and I was eager to test it out. The one I bought was an opened box refurbished unit. It didn't come with a manual so I looked it up online and printed it out. Filled it with oil and gas but had to charge up the battery. Once all that was done it fired right up. It is super quiet. I only put a gallon of gas in it and the meter said it had 5 hours of run time at idle. When I tried it on my camper the 13500 btu AC made the meter show it was at 50% capacity. Next I turned on the 700 watt microwave and the meter showed 75%. Shut those 2 off and the generator idled down and just purred quietly. With just all my lights on it barely comes off idle. So far I'm super pumped about this new camping toy.

Quiet and Easy to Use

Bought this for our very first trip requiring generator power. Right out of the box I followed the easy set-up instructions and hooked it up to a propane tank. The generator fired up with the remote to my surprise. The generator is surprisingly quiet. Looking forward to many new trips that have no shore power.
