Excellent, quiet inverter generator

Great experience thus far, from packaging, to instructions, ease of use, and performance. Performed the initial setup, switched it on, pressed the start button, and it was purring along in about 3 seconds. Tested unit with multiple appliances, and performed like a champ. Still working on break-in period, but a pleasure thus far. Looking forward to installing as power fail-over for our home.

Very Quiet Generator

Excellent price considering features & very quiet noise level. Only disappointment was oil on the bottom & dripping from front rubber foot. Discovered it was from the oil-bath air filter, had been left too saturated. After about 45 min clean-up, added oil and fuel, fired right up and ran very smooth & quiet. 5 hr break-in per instructions and is ready to go when needed. Very economical on gas consumption. Ran perfectly on LPG as-well.

The Perfect Generator

I had to pre-order the igen4500 dual fuel because they are so popular, but it was worth the wait. This inverter generator has everything I was looking for and at a great price. I can use it for my travel trailer a/c, can use propane or gas, remote start, portable, and quiet enough for camping. It even has a data center and is the most fuel efficient generator out there. I challenge you to find a better generator at a better price.

Very pleased

Just received this invertor. Easy to unpack. Already assembled. Just plugged in the battery and filled up the oil reservoir. Decided to try propane first as i am not expecting to use much in the short term. Was easy to attach the propane tank. Turned the power button on and hit the start button - turned over a couple times and fired right up. Seems to be exactly what I was looking for in an emergency backup generator to power essentials

Just what I was looking for!

I needed a generator to use with our RV trailer. I live on the Gulf Coast with frequent Hurricanes. Due to the hurricanes gasoline is sometimes hard to find so I knew I wanted something dual fueled. The Westinghouse 4500DF is dual fueled. I wanted a generator to power my Travel Trailer with the correct 30amp jack to power my camper. The 4500 has the proper jack for campers. Remote start for when I don't want to start or stop the generator early in the morning or in the middle of the night. I wanted a large fuel tank that would allow me to run over night. I wanted something to tell me how much fuel was in the tank, what voltage I was running, how long I had until the fuel was out, and when I needed to change the oil and other maintenance. The 4500DF has all of those features. I needed something that was electric start. What if my battery is down? Can I pull start it? Yes to both. I needed something quiet. I needed something reliable. With the Westinghouse IGen4500DF I picked the generator that was right for me. I looked at other generators and they had some similar features, but not all of the ones the Westinghouse had. I considered many other brands but for the price the Westinghouse offered what I needed. And in addition 4500 starting amps I got more than I was looking for. I have used this generator for almost a year. It starts first time still. At 98lbs, I can load it on our truck. I have run my 4500 for over 15 hours on one tank of fuel, (I fueled it before it ran out of fuel). It came complete with everything you needed to use propane including the propane regulator. After using my generator for almost a year I am glad I picked the Westinghouse IGen 4500DF.

Easy set up

I bought this generator to run my rv. It is well built and easy to set up. Comes with everything you need to get it started. Just one complaint the seals for the propane hose were just sitting in the styrofoam not in the hose or sealed bag. I think I’ll be happy with this purchase.

Runs great!

Bought this DF inverter recently. After performing the set up it runs great and quiet compared to others. Love the remote start and the energy savings mode! Also relatively light weight to take camping and can also connect two in parallel to power larger loads.

Remote Pushbutton Start is Great

I own two of these units. The remote start is super handy. I also have mine rigged up with a SwitchBot remote control switch. This lets me "push the button" from anywhere in the world connected to the internet. Very handy since the generator is part of my backup power for my off-grid system.

Great Directions

I bought the iGen 4500DF a few weeks ago and just got around to set up and testing. Hurricane season starts next month. The directions were very easy to follow and start up was a breeze. I never had a generator before and was a little skeptical, but the simple and easy to follow instructions made it a snap. I'm almost looking forward to a power outage knowing it will be easy to set up and go.

Awesome

Fast start up was easy to follow. A detailed manual comes with it, along with required bottle of oil and spout. Tools are also furnished when needed. It is quiet and started the second pull using gasoline. The duel fuel option is nice too. I believe it’s a good purchase.
