Love the versitility

Duel Fuel exchange is nice. Very quiet. Had issues starting, but it was recalled and the replacement unit has been fine. I presume this is due to the issue, and the service was good so I didn't knock it. I do need more time to evaluate robustness of the product, but so far everything is nice. It would be nice to have an oil drain plug instead of having to dump it out the fill point (i needed to for recall).

Excellent duel fuel invertor/generator

I purchased my Westinghouse Igen4500DF due to the regular power outages we experienced in our neighborhood. I took a few weeks to reviews a ton of reviews and always found this model to be in the top rated. Its quiet and easy to use. One of my favorite features is the stowaway handle for ease of moving. Thank you Westinghouse for making a great product!

Worth the 6 month wait

This generator has been sold out for a long time, but it finally came back in stock. Still in the break in phase, but so far happy with everything. The only word of caution is to download the latest manual from the Westinghouse website. The included hardcopy manual instructs to pour in the entire contents of the included oil, but that was too much and it over flowed and made a mess. I should have known better, but these things happen.

SO Easy to Use!

I'm a small, older lady. I purchased the iGen 4500 DF. Following the well-written directions, this generator was easy to unbox, move to location with handy trolly handle, add oil, hook up to propane, pair with remote and start to use! If you want quiet, this is your baby! Pushed my budget a little; but the trade offs and dependability of a quality product name are worth it! It's great to know I am covered dealing with the numerous power outages in my rural area.

Compact, powerful and versatile

I like the compact size and the quietness of this device. The only thing I'm dissatisfied with is that I needed a high altitude kit. But I came to know this while reading the manual. Stuff like this should be advertised in the description of the generator and the kit should be available to buy without effort. The carburator accesory's number part available in the store doesn't match the one that is in the product manual. Also while looking in the iGen 4500DF section in the parts store, no kit was available but only for the iGen 5000DF. All of this ruined the moment because now I should wait until the kit arrives to try my new generator and all is a lot of confusion for such an essential accessory.

Great Features for RV’s

I recently purchased mine and used it to power my RV. The electric start on it has saved my arms and shoulders the brutal beating most recoil starters give me. The remote makes it even better especially when it is raining and no one wants to go outside to turn it off. The only thing I would like to see in the future is that it be a little bit more compact in size and weight. It be easier to secure in a truck tool box and not be chained down in the back of the truck.

Quality, Quiet, great value!

Purchased to power our 30amp travel trailer. Very impressed with minimal noise level and overall build quality. We run ours exclusively on propane which is so convenient when camping- no gasoline fumes etc… to deal with. Very happy so far- runs our 13,500btu ac unit, lights, water heater and even microwave at the same time on propane.

Love this generator!

Recently purchased this generator and I love it! For the price, it comes with tons of features. For me, I'm using it for camping. The Dual Fuel feature was a must. We always have propane on hand, so it made the most sense. I also like that it comes "RV Ready" with the 30amp connection. The wireless remote makes it nice for starting up without leaving the camper! Would buy again!

Great Generator for Camping

I bought this generator 3 months ago and use it while camping. I have solely ran the system on propane. It has worked great for running the A/C. I did found that I had to watch which other electronics were running at the same time so I didn’t trip the generator (I had to force my 2 way refrigerator use only propane otherwise the refrigerator and A/C could not run on the generator). The weight of the generator is pretty heavy to get it in the back of the truck by myself, but it is easy with a second person. The wheels and handle are a life saver.

It has everything I wanted in a generator

I bought this generator due to it being rich with features. It is quiet, it has ample power for my use, dual fuel capability, remote start, three-ways to easily start it, a display panel with stats, lightweight and a three year limited warranty. I have owned one of the contractor generators in the past and they are so noisy you can't have a conversation anywhere within 25 or 30 yards of it. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 inverter generator is so quiet I can stand right next to it and converse without having to raise my voice. It is quieter than a car engine running. I lose power, on average, a couple of times a week for two or more hours and a couple of winters ago I lost it for 4 days straight in freezing weather. It's not fun sitting around the house without even having a radio, much less a television or even charging a phone and only a flashlight for light. Now I can power some electronics and lights. At times I am not available to crank up a generator but with the iGen, my wife can flip the ON switch and remote start the generator without a problem. It even has an automatic choke built into the unit. It starts on the first try every time I have used it. Dual fuel was a big plus for me. Instead of having limited capability and having multiple gas cans sitting around, I can use my 250 gallon propane tank that is located just a few yards from my install location. Propane is also a much cleaner burning fuel and therefore it will not gum-up the carburetor like gasoline. I like being able to monitor my power usage and the led display panel shows power output, voltage and running time. For those that use gasoline, there are additional readouts that shows your fuel level in addition to remaining run time. The warranty being three years is probably as good as it gets. I spent a lot of time trying to find a generator that had all the features that I wanted. I could not ask for a better generator and I am extremely happy with my purchase.
