super quiet

I bought this generator to use in my rv for boondocking. It is super quiet and does not interrupt our outside time or our sleep while providing plenty of power to run our 15k a/c unit. I also love the fact that I dont have to carry gasoline since I use the same propane tanks that are on my rig.

Still so far, so good

I ordered two of these and received them amazingly fast (ordered on the 3rd, received on the 7th). They are very nice looking, compact, well thought out design. As I was removing the oil dipstick, I did consider that it’s a little fumbley for those with normal to large hands. I haven’t actually used them yet, but they insist I do the review now if I want a free cover. So far, so good!

Waiting to see on performance

Say one. Did as the manual instructed, filled with the supplied oil, filled with gasoline. Then some had suggested run without load, then mixed load, power off & cool down, and repeat a couple of time. On the 30 amp load ran for a good while then just shutdown. would not restart. Called the support line, and it appeared to have too much oil. Manual very unspecific on where exactly to stop. Would be nice to say "put in 10 ounces, put in 2 cups, not keep putting in oil AND screwing in and out the dip stick 8 times until you think it's good. Anyway. Got it running again and 10 min later died again. By this time to late in day to mess with it anymore. Testing at home and very glad I wasn't on a trip somewhere. Recommending for now. Will wait and see how it turns out to update review.

Really Solid Inverter with Good Power

Bought this unit about 6 weeks ago. Traveled across the U.S. and did about 4,000 miles. Used the inverter with my truck camper to power AC, refrig and other items. Summer temps were between 85 and 95 degrees. Operated in sun and rain. The inverter casing seems watertight. The economy mode seems to cycle evenly with changes in power requirements. Put the 100 lb. generator in my enclosed trailer to haul it around.

Haven't used it much yet but so far so good

To be honest I'm leaving this review to get the free cover. I got it right before the hurricane hit Houston and it arrived after my power came back so I'm saving it for the next time. It's a heavy so be ready for that but it started up just fine right out of the box, came with everything I would need (except the gas obviously) and I have had no problems with it so far. Turned it over a couple of times to make sure the fuel doesn't go bad and to keep checking on it. Nice feature is the remote start up and that it's an inverter so it won't kill my electronics. It's noisy but not bad. Your neighbors will know you have a generator if they are walking around outside but it shouldn't be that bad when they are inside. Four stars because I haven't used it yet fully but so far what I have done with it doesn't disappoint.

Good product- but with issues

It runs quiet and powered my camper quite well during the break-in period. I like the fact that it has the propane regulator, hose, oil and a tool kit with it, along with a very complete owners manual. The extendable pull handle works well. I wonder why they have a remote start feature with a fob when you have to disconnect all cords from the inverter before starting it. My biggest concern is the digital display is not functioning - at all. I have been in contact with the service number and the gentleman told me to remove the front cover and see if there are any loose wires on the panel. Since I am comfortable working on these types of things, I did. I found no loose wires or connections and the panel still does not work. I have sent a copy of my receipt and am waiting to find out how far I have to drive to get it to authorized shop. I hope it goes well. I detest buying a new product and having it fail right out of the starting gate, or having to investigate the problem myself. It should be sound when it leaves the factory.

Easy to assemble, easy to use, and runs quiet

Bought this after the last snowstorm knocked out our power for a week. The generator was easy to assemble and get running. Needed to pull the manual recoil start a few times to prime the system on first run, the electronic starter works great after that. It runs very quietly and could not even hear it running on the other side of the house. It is easy to move around with the handle and wheels. Filling the oil could be a little easier, the fill plug sits way back in the compartment and by the time you put the funnel in, there is no way to tell when it is full except to pour in a little oil at a time, remove the funnel, and shine a flashlight to see the oil level.

Amazing Product

We did a lot of due diligence looking at various generators and reading reviews. This Westinghouse Dual Fuel iGen4500 generator had the highest 5 Star rating and it is living up to those reviews. We are VERY happy we purchased this one. Received delivery on a Friday and was in the woods camping on Saturday. It performed excellent!!!

So far so good!

Ran the generator for the first time today and am optimistic. Easy to prepare for first use (~1 hour) and started right up! Eager to see how it functions on propane -- should make it easier to use for my periodic camping trips (didn't want to deal with gas sitting in there for long periods).

Very nice generator

This generator has some very welcome features - such as the handy pull-bar, double lifting handles, and wheels that make it easy to move around. In addition, it is very quiet with plenty of power for most common applications. The remote makes it easy to start and stop the generator while working with power tools on a project, thus avoiding the necessity of constantly going back-and-forth to the machine. The process of adding oil is a bit of a pain, requiring one to unscrew the funnel, then screw in the filler plug, screw the funnel back in, and so on, to check the level of the oil as it's being added. Otherwise, it seems to be very well-built and is attractive to look at, as well.
