Started without hesitation

We have been looking for a back up power supply that had good features, is easy to use and is reasonably priced. The iGen4500DF fits the bill. Although I only picked it up just yesterday, I am very pleased with the unit. After filling the crankcase with the provided oil, and connecting the included (and charged) battery it started on the first press of the button. Note: the key fob (another great feature) worked first try too. After letting it warm up for few minutes, I connected it to our refrigerator and a couple of running shop tools in my garage and it handled the load no problem. While I do not look forward to loosing power in the future, I can now breath easier with the iGen4500DF in our garage.

Great features and runs at low noise level

I have only started it to be sure it runs. Running on propane means I don't have to worry about sitting for long periods of time. Propane regulators are a bit awkward to position propane canisters. Note should be given that oil in bottle is too much for the enging. Sugest measuring the oil needed before filling crankcase.

New purchase

I just purchased the iGen4500 DF a few days ago and haven't had a chance to really check it out. I did connect it to a propane tank, followed the starting instructions and it fired right up and ran great. I am looking forward to testing it more fully in the coming weeks. So far, so good!

Excellent generator

This is a great generator with awesome features. Although the generator I have zero complaints about, I was not happy with the buying experience up front. When I initially setup the generator I ran into two problems. First the generator was not idling correctly. It was due to what I found out is a common issue with these generators. From the factory there are times when the plug for the automated choke is not plugged in. I have to take the panels off the generator and connect the plug to resolve this issue. The second problem I ran into was with the remote start. I tried several times to connect the remote following the instructions in the owners manual but could not get it to work. After working with customer service they sent me out a replacement part for the module that controls the remote start, which resolved the issue. My 3 star review is to reflect the fact that I have to do several things to get the generator running as it was supposed to be from the factory.

Super quiet!

I bought this a couple weeks ago, my husband forgot gas for it. We have the dual fuel generator, so we just hooked it right up to the propane tanks on our camper and it worked wonderfully! Very quiet, the remote start is an amazing feature as well! We were able to run AC, coffee pot, and my hair tools all at one time!

Piece of crap

Piece of crap, it went through 25 gallons of propane like there was five generators hooked up to the bottle. I went out and looked at it and propane was coming out of the black part of the regulator. It won’t run right, when it runs, it might run for half an hour and then it surges and shuts down.

Love this generator!! So Versatile!!

We bought this generator to power our travel trailer. Our favorite feature is it's dual fuel capability. It is so great to be able to operate using propane especially when camping while not having the gas fumes to deal with. The electric start is fantastic and having a wireless remote control is the icing on the cake. It's so nice to be able to start the generator from inside our travel trailer on cool mornings. It was so easy to set up and operate and started on the first attempt. It is also so nice to have the LED display with remaining run time, remaining fuel and lifetime hours data is really helpful. The Gen4500DF is so very quiet for such a large generator! I couldn't get over how you can be standing right beside it while running and have a pleasant conversation with someone. Other great features are the telescoping handle and the never flatting wheels. For such a large generator that really makes it so easy to move it around when needed. I am so glad we purchase this Westinghouse generator. It has really been a great asset for our camping adventures! We are heading to Florida for our next trip and I know we will have no worries with our power needs because of wonderful generator.

Best Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator on the market!

I purchased this product as a power back-up during storms, tailgating and for the ability to run my travel trailer AC unit while dry camping. For it's small size and portability, this generator keeps our trailer cool in the hot summers while providing power to all of our electrical needs. I didn't give it much consideration when I purchased this unit, but the remote start that's included is one of my most favorite features. I was surprised how often I would be starting and stopping my generator which makes it extremely handy. Having the ability to power the generator using gas or propane was essential for my needs since I always have one or the other fuel source on-hand. Westinghouse customer service is outstanding and stands behind their products 100%. I will be purchasing more products from them in the future and would encourage others to do the same.

Best Option At This Wattage Level

At this wattage level, which can supply our entire house, this is the best generator made. The dual fuel feature was crucial to us, as we prefer to run propane when possible. Electric start and remote start are very convenient, but you always have pull start as a failsafe. The dashboard is well-designed and easy to read. The 30A receptacle is appreciated. The extendable handle and wheels work well, making this easy to move around. The generator is also extremely quiet. We don't hear it indoors when it's running on less than 50% load. Owning this gives us a high degree of confidence should we ever encounter a power outage.

Westinghouse iGen5000DFc Inverter Generator

I bought this for our RV trailer. It started up perfect. It worked with no issues when we connected it to the RV trailer. It runs the Air conditioner, refrigerator with no issues. We have not overloaded it and are adding extra load slowly. Great generator and it is working great!!!!
