Why would you buy any other generator?

After extensive research, the iGen4500DF checked off every item we had on our list to supply whole-house power in an emergency and for our 24' travel trailer RV. This is what we wanted: - Ample running and peak watts - Duel Fuel - Quiet (it is sooo quiet!) - Electric start (the remote control was a nice bonus feature!) - Easy setup - Under 21" to fit under my truck tonneau cover for road travel - Long runtime on either fuel selection - RV Ready (30A) - Wheeled for easy mobility (the stowable handle made the mobility even easier) - High reviews Every review we researched gave this unit excellent ratings. I concur. I don't know why you'd select a different generator - it exceeds our expectations and runs whisper quiet!

Quiet, powerful, clean

I bought this to take camping after renting generators for way too much $$ from the trailer folks that we have been renting trailers from. After doing lots of research on generator types, the difference between inverters and regular generators etc., I decided to purchase this bad boy. It's AWESOME. Our camping companions were jealous of how easily it starts, how much juice it puts out ON DEMAND, and how quiet it is. I ran it on Eco Mode the whole time and never once smelled any exhaust. All the while it clicked on with the push of a button whenever we wanted the AC, microwave, TV, or air compressor.

Everything that I could've hoped for.

After a lot of research over more than a year I settled on this generator. I have been very happy with the purchase so far. It runs smoothly and quietly. It powers more than I expected and adjusts quickly when my RV air conditioner kicks on. I would recommend this generator to anyone.

Quiet And Powerful

I have only had this generator for a week and am so glad I purchased this quiet beast. Easy to start (just push a button!), Easy to move around (and it comes with the wheels telescoping handle already on) and is not too heavy. Just plug in the battery, add oil and gas or propane, and you are good to go. For the most part, I will be using the RV outlet (TT-30R); it also has two 15/20 amp outlets and two usb outlets. It is great on gas and being an inverter only uses what is needed for what you are powering. No problem running a heater or air conditioner, or just a few lights in my trailer. This generator is so quiet you know it is on because your lights or heater is on and not because you hear it running. I really like the date display that lets me knows my voltage, hours of use, running time left. This West. iGen 4500DF is well worth its cost.

Just what we needed!!

After trying another brand of generator without an electric start I was left disappointed with the poor performance. I constantly had to fight to keep it running. With the 4500df I can now start it by keyfob from bed in the morning and have my coffee maker running in no time. Best of all I'm not having to constantly restart due to stalling like my previous brand generator. This has been a night and day difference and makes my family's dry camping experience so much easier with the ability to tap into my propane.

Great generator

Was scared at first. Box was delivered pretty beat up but product was not damaged at all. After filling the oil and checking the battery, unit started up with no problems. Using propane as my fuel source it was very smooth running and the noise level was less than I expected. Will update after my first real usage.

Good Start

Anymore when you purchase new items it takes a good part of the day to get the item assembled and working correctly. I am so pleased how detailed the instructions, but to the point and how well it was packaged. In less than 30 minutes I had it checked out and started. The Westinghouse Generator is exactly what I was looking for in an emergency generator.

Nice power and very quiet.

Bought this so we can go dry camping or when everything goes to crap. Tried it out and it works great. Can't wait to take it camping next year. It will allow me to take the wife to more remote places that don't have full hook ups, yet she will still be comfy and cozy.

awesome generator

Bought this iGen5000DFc less than 2 weeks ago and I love it. bought it for my 22' travel trailer and just broke it in and tested t on my rv. has sufficient power to run what ever I need with the A/C going which is important for boondocking during the summer months. Control panel seems well thought out and the unit is quiet, my wife even noticed its quietness when she came out of the house. Also bought the iGen tent for it, did not have a manual with it and looked a little challenging to assemble. Printed out the manual from there website and was not to difficult once I got the hang of it.

Reliable, easy start, and well made

Well made, well thought out. Manual is excellent including parts break-down, safety and preventative maintenance procedures. Came with everything needed to start using immediately except extension cords: Oil to be added, charged battery, tool kit, battery in remote key fob,etc.
