Quiet, clean power

I purchased this generator because it used both propane and gas, ran very quietly, and created very clean power for use with electronics. Once I had the generator home, I put in oil, followed the other setup steps, and the unit started right up! We like the fact that our small camper can plug right in. We're glad we made this purchase.

i4500df - Does it's job WELL

After much research we purchased this unit in case of any emergencies in our 50amp 5th Wheel RV. Picked it up late on Monday. Set it and then loaded it in the truck. Left for a camping trip early Wednesday. This is our 6th season camping and wouldn't you know our 1st trip losing power. We remain cool and comfortable. It will go on every trip we take from now on.

Rare combination of output, dual fuel, & remote

No other gen has the combination of power output, dual fuel, and remote start. Slide out handle makes it easy to move. LED on the power switch was a bad idea if you plan on leaving it connected over night to turn on with the remote. Wish it also had the potential for natural gas

Pleasantly Surprised

I have had the iGEN4500 for a couple of weeks. It had no box damage but the shipping caused the battery strap to break. Ordered a new one, no charge. Added fresh oil (included) and some fuel. Followed the instruction on top of the unit and pressed the remote control button. Unit started right up. So easy. It is so quiet that I could have a conversation standing next to the unit! Hooked up a saw and it sensed the load and handled it just fine. Very happy and pleasantly surprised.

Remote Start & Electric Start but…

Purchased for RV. Love the electric and remote start plus other features like fuel gauge and suitcase style handle and wheels for moving. This is my first ever generator. My only not-so-small complaint is the fact that it runs rough, blows black smoke and struggles to run my 15k air conditioner. I'm no engineer but I know how to follow directions and I have followed the manual to a “t”. Now I have to figure out how to fix something that shouldn't need fixed.

Quiet, Powerful, Easy, and still Portable

I've used several generators for different purposes and locations from H*nda to H*rbor. On my travel trailer, had been using a highly customized competitor config with modifications for propane and to the AC so it could run the AC (wife's requirement for long summer camping trips). However, at really high altitudes (where I often camp) the propane just couldn't keep up and had to go gas (which I hate dealing with). A buddy of mine borrowed this from his friend. Compared to my H*nda, it is quieter, more powerful, and a lower net cost than all the add ons. Had to get one, which took a while given low inventories. At 100 lbs, it's not as easy to maneuver but still doable for the four times we need to move it per camping trip (load up/setup, breakdown/back to garage), and the wheels help. Out of the box with oil provided, started up first touch and ran a variable test load for 4 hrs on propane. Ran everything except microwave without ever going above 50%. Adding microwave kicked it to 75% tier, but I never actually use the microwave anyways. Changed out first run oil to synthetic, and attaching a quick release for the propane connector. Can easily disconnect the onboard battery for storage, or use the provided trickle charger. Native TT30R port means you don't even need to buy a conversion dogbone. Only minus is the oil port is buried inside, which requires screwing in a flimsy funnel provided that I'm sure will easily break. Otherwise, they've really thought through a fantastic solution for the RV boon docking enthusiast. If you see this in stock, jump on it.

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.

Westinghouse iGen4500DF

We bought this generator a month ago for specific reasons. 1) several electric outages occur in our area, 2) we needed to run our life saving medical equipment without interruption, 3) must have an inverter for the computer and other sensitive electronics. It's the perfect generator, dual fuel propane and fuel, electric, pull, and remote start. Has wheels and a handle for easy movement. It is uncommonly quiet!! Amazing. We're very happy with this purchase. Would highly recommend this generator for everyone.

The iGen4500DDF sets the bar

I purchased this generator to power my RV with a 15000 BTU AC. It powers the AC, lights and even the microwave with capacity to spare. Very quiet and the quality is top notch. Remote start is great and the run time is very good (who wants to refill the tank at 5AM!). Highly recommended.
