Excellent Value...iGen4500DF

Bought for RV Boondocking and back-up home power. Great value to have the dual fuel, remote start, electric start, 30-Amp plug, telescoping suitcase handle, and more. Nice quality construction on the design/molding of outer shell. Relatively quiet and started right up.

Well built and great value.

Just picked up our brand new generator for home emergency use and camping. Dual fuel, cant beat that option. Unit appears well built. Manual and instructions are well prepared and put together (from my engineering perspective) Will get the unit a test run this coming weekend. Will share updated review notes and fine tune rating.

The One!

Decided to grab a medium size generator to survive a few days without power if needed. it arrived in great shape. unboxed, added the oil and connected to the propane tank that was connected to my gas grill. pushed the start button and it fired right up! I tested it with various loads ( ie hair dryer, heater, coffee maker). handled it all really well and its not obnoxiously loud.

good features

I am disappointed to learn after purchase that according to the manual, this unit is very sensitive to wet weather conditions. That's when we will need it, when the weather is stormy enough to knock the power out! The oil fill is inconvenient/changing the oil will be a hassle. Both of these issues can be overcome but . . .

Easy to start and run!

I bought this last month. I have never owned or ran a generator before. Did a test run with propane. The instructions for setup and running are easy to follow. Propane attaches quickly. Oil is easy to add without spilling. Started right up with push button start. Plugged in fridge/freezer, hair dryer, fan and charged phone and tablet just to see how did. No problems and I'm feeling better about future power outages.

Great generator for RVing!

I bought this generator in order to power up my camper on my remote land in Vermont. I wanted something that would be quiet and easy to use, since the main purpose is to enjoy the nature. This generator is great. It is very quiet, with just a little bit of a hum, especially since it will throttle the engine up or down depending on the amount of power being used. The best part about it is that it uses propane or gas. I can keep propane cylinders stored at my campsite and never have to worry about them going bad. I also love the remote control, as I can turn it on and off from within the camper without having to go outside at night and watch out for the bears! There is enough power for my camper even with the AC running. And, the digital display is great, and it shows multiple pieces of information, such as the amount of watts used, the total run time, and the estimated amount of time left if you're using the gas instead of propane. I would definitely recommend this generator!

Works like it should. Easy to start. Easy to handl

I originally purchased another Westinghouse generator that was virtually impossible for me to start by hand. The pull-cord stroke was something like 7 feet! This push-button start is everything it's supposed to be. Starts super easy, runs quiet. BTW, the 30 amp connection is kind of an oddball. Not sure why they chose that particular design for the extension cord. But if you keep looking you'll find the cord that you need.

Excellent!

I replaced my Champion generator of equal size and features with this one and I'm quite pleased! It's much quieter and is quite efficient and very easy to use. A lot of thought and engineering went into this machine. Even keeping up with maintenance is easier due to the display and design. I highly recommend!

Awesome Generator!

The ease and features that this generator has is awesome! I like the multitude of different ways to start it. The display readout is extremely nice so you know how much fuel you have left, the hours on the engine, how much time is left for runtime, and I especially like the load output indication. It runs extremely quiet and the wheel around handle is also nice. You do not need to buy any addons as this generator comes with everything including the hose for the propane, wrenches to connect, and even a funnel to add the oil that is included. Great generator!
