Works like a champ!

It was everything I expected. No issues at all have run it with gasoline and propane. Plan to use this to power my Travel Trailer when boone-docking. Will not be able to run everything but confirmed it will run one of my two AC units and the electric water heater simultaneously. Gives me enough headroom to manage the essentials.

Works great!!

We purchased this to use with our 38 foot fifth wheel toy hauler, as the onboard Onan generator uses a ton of gas when dry camping. We used this when dry camping, and it ran both ACs and lights perfectly. Only overloaded when we accidentally forgot and turned on the electric water heater with both ACs running, which we knew going in would be a no no on a single unit. It didn’t run quite as long as indicated, but we ran it two consecutive nights, one night on 3.4 gallons of gas and one night on a full 20 pound propane tank, both night starting at 8 PM running 1AC, and we Did turn on the hot water heater for showers. The temp outside was in the 70s overnight, so we didn’t need to run both ACs, but I’m sure we could have if needed. With gas, it ran from 8 PM until 9 AM (13 hours). With propane, it ran from 8 PM until 7:45 AM ( 11.75 hours). So although not as long as Westinghouse says, it’s still ran and kept up all night like our onboard does, but used way less fuel, and we didn’t have to refill in the middle of the night like with our smaller standalone generator. It’s not the quietest on the market but it’s close enough and we love that it’s dual fuel!

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!

Everything I expected.

I purchased the igen4500DF through an independent dealer back on 5-16-22 and just 2 days ago 9-9-22 received it. Followed the instruction manual pre start procedures which didnt take about 15 minutes and hit the start button and fired right up so I shut it off, hooked it to my toy hauler and started the break-in procedure, it is really quiet even with just the maximum break-in load of 1850 watts. Still have 1.5 hrs left of breakin which I will finish today. Looking forward to many years of quiet trouble free service. Very happy so far with the machine even after waiting 4 months for delivery,(no fault of Westinghouse). Nice looking unit and very quiet.

Everything I needed in a generator!

I bought this for an off-grid cabin in order to charge my solar system when it is down in the winter....the first thing I did after a very prompt delivery was to put in the supplied oil and test the unit...it fired right up on propane....(I have not tested it on gasoline yet)....the battery was fully charged and the remote works good....the second thing I did was to change out the oil for a lower viscosity because I will be running this mainly in the winter at 0 degree weather....the only complaint, or I should say improvement I would like to see, is when I shut off the unit with the remote at say 9pm and then wish to restart it at 7am, the battery is dead because the little indicator light for the "battery on" switch kills the battery.....maybe if it was a led or intermitant light it would last all night....oh well, I will just have to go out in the snow and push the button....otherwise, a very quiet unit even compared to my old honda pull start.

reply from Westinghouse

Hi Michael, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate all the feedback we get. Regarding your battery, if your generator has been exposed to colder temperatures in the morning then it will accelerate the amount of power drained which then leads to a dead battery. If you wish to continue using your remote feature at night, you can resolve this issue by charging your battery for up to 6-8 hours (no longer) while the unit is off during the day then use the remote start as normal at night after your session. However, we are so glad to hear the iGen4500DF has been everything you've been looking for in a generator! Enjoy it while you're out in the cabins!

Westinghouse iGen5000DFc Generator

I just bought this Westinghouse Generator after Hurricane Helene, because I was caught off guard and almost 3 days without electricity, very easy to configure, it is not that heavy, and its functions are easy to understand, I loved starting with the remote control, I also tried starting from the electric button, I highly recommend it, it is an investment that you will not regret.

So far I am impressed

I just purchased the unit and filled out the warranty registration, and you're asking for a review already? Okay, packaging is super, easy enough to unpack. The instruction manual is excellent, well written, and informative. The gen started up and runs great on gas and propane. I plugged a circular saw into it and ran the saw a couple of seconds. Now that's all the more I tried it for now. I'll change my rating if it fails when I actually use the dam thing.

Perfect for RV living

Every feature that you will need. Electric remote start is great! No need to go out in the dew before you have your coffee! Dual fuel keeps you in camp when you are miles from the filling station. All running status is available at a glance with easy front panel display and controls.

Plenty of power

This inverter generator has plenty of power for my RV and tools for building our off grid cabin.. Nice to know i have back up power incase of a power outage at our primary residence.. It's a little heavy but worth the extra power. The control panel is labeled well along with easy access for fueling and motor maintenance..

Very happy with all the features on this generator

I bought this a month ago and extremely pleased with all the features I didn't even know I was getting. Along with this generator running very quietly the details on the actual generator for each feature made it easy to learn how to use it. Highly recommend
