Happy Consumer

I bought this product to have a reliable back up electrical source for my home. I followed the instructions to get it up and going. It started right up and now I know the the freezers are secure and the heat system will keep our house from freeze damage.

Ran great on initial test

I purchased this generator for backup home power in the event of power failure. The iGen 4500DF was easy to set up except for a couple of missteps on my part. I over filled the oil reservoir. This was probably due to some residual oil in the engine from the factory test. I added most of the .63qt bottle. The reservoir is supposed hold .6 qt. it overflowed when I removed the funnel. The excess leaked out of the bottom of the case for a short time. On start up I added about a quart of gasoline to the tank. This apparently was not enough to get it running. It would almost turn over from time to time. It showed low fuel on the digital display. So I added some more fuel and that solved the problem. The start up with propane was perfect. It ran a little rough for a few minutes but then smoothed out. I ran it with several small loads plugged in for about a half and hour. It appeared to function properly. I experimented with switching back and forth from gas to propane and that went well. I am pleased with the generator so far.

It’s so quiet when running.

Been looking for a portable generator for almost a year. Did lots of research on the various name brands. Was impressed with the many positive reviews on YouTube and online retailers. The fit and finish on the generator is exceptional ,with quality components throughout. It has all the features one could possibly want. The remote start is so very handy.

For our frequent power outages that runs on LP

We have frequent power outages & with a special needs son we needed to be able to run tv& video games for him. Since this is an iGen that runs at 4200 watts on LP, it handles our watts to keep the electronics, internet & essential kitchen items all working. A big plus is being able to use remote/electric start especially for us senior citizens.

Happy Customer!!!

After a lot of research on Dual Fuel Inverters, the Westinghouse iGen4500DF was a hands-down winner in terms of features and affordability. Because of its versatility, I feel like my family is now better equipped and prepared for the next power outage due to Texas's major weather storms.

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.

Great Price for power and Dual Fuel

Bought this for price and power as a Honda EU2200 Gen will not power my Travel Trailer AC. With this unit being Dual dual fuel. I can use my Trailers Gas grill hookup to fuel the generator. Or gas or spare Propane tank. Going to mount this on my Travel trailer bumper which is where my Shore power hookup is. Easy start with pull cord and electric start no need to go outside if raining to start.

Great features

I bought it and got it in a few days ago and have been running it and breaking it in and so far so good. So far it does leak a little bit of oil and I'm trying to find where it's coming from. The longer I run it the less it's leaking so I don't know if some spilt when I was filling it up or the drain plug may not be tightened up enough from the factory draining the oil out of it after they tested it before they sent it out. I'm hoping it's one of the two. Time will tell.
