Very Good Generator

Runs well on propane. Operator Manual is way out of date; different battery, different oil change spout, different tool kit, different picture of front control panel, and many many other errors. Seems that generator is updated but comes with old old manual. I will contact Westinghouse and request reliable manual.

Great value

Purchased this about a week ago. Arrived in good condition and fired right up out of the box on both gasoline and propane. Ran for 5 hour break in as recommended with no issue. Runs very quite. So far works as it should and has all of the features I was looking for at a great price. Would recommend so far!

Peace of mind

I bought this generator because we were out of power for 4 days in 2020 in freezing weather and I never want to do that again. The instructions and set up for this machine were super easy to understand and very user friendly even for someone who has never used a generator before. The design is amazing and very user friendly as well. I love that it is dual fuel and can use gasoline or propane. It will easily power the start up for my gas furnace and other necessary electronics in my house if we are ever without power for several days again. The price is very reasonable and well worth the peace of mind this machine provides.

Checked ALL of My Boxes!

We had a very specific list of "must haves" for our new generator. We already have one for our home. This one is for our new travel trailer. It it our intention to do more dry camping, so a good genny is the place to start. Back to my list: - We definitely wanted a dual-fuel generator. We do so much with LPG in the RV, it just made sense that a propane-fired generator would work well with our set up. - We needed a smaller, more manageable size for a not-so-young-anymore couple. I was hoping for less than 100 lbs. Since we're going to have to haul that thing around, the open-frame type was out of the question. This one comes in at a close 98 lbs. But it has that great luggage-style, pull-out handle! On a flat surface, it only takes ONE of us to move it around! - For the same reason, we needed more than just the recoil-start option. I am so done with pull-starting everything. With the push-button start, as well as a remote, this certainly fit the bill. (Although, if one must shut off the battery and close the propane valve, I suppose the remote control option is only good for the gas-powered starts?) - Must provide "clean" power - we've got sensitive electronics in that RV. - Speaking of that, the 30 amp RV receptacle was definitely on our list. Who wants to be fussing with adaptors and additional cords? - Our rooftop A/C unit takes the most power of everything in the RV. The generator needed to have at least enough power to fire that baby up when it gets too hot outside. This one has MORE than enough power for that.... even at the initial start-up! The Eco-mode is a nice feature, as well, for keeping the normal power draw to a minimum. This leads me to... - Last, but certainly not the least important box to check, the generator needed to be as quiet as we could get, while still checking off all of the above boxes. I gotta tell you, we just got this genny yesterday, and we've only started it twice. But, HOLY QUIET, BATMAN!!! My neighbor was blowing his leaves and when we stood in the street, our new generator was literally unheard over his blower. Really. Oh, and it started on the first push (NOT pull!) after installing the battery, adding oil, and hooking up the LP tank. All of our boxes were checked off with our new iGen4500DF, so I checked off all the stars. I don't anticipate any problems in the future. But if they happen, I'll update. Happy camping!

Super quite

The quietest generator at the campsite. We use the generator to power our 27 foot air steam and also to run one of our air conditioning units on or trailer. Very simple to use and love the remote control as we start the generator while inside the camper.

Quiet as advertised

I bought this generator a few days ago. We live in South Florida. We survived the wrath of Ian but were without power for over a week. I originally resisted buying a generator. After a storm of that magnitude, I relented and chose this unit. Due to the reviews that this unit earned, its cost, compactness, and overall quiet operating volume, the choice was simplified.

Easy set up, first impression

Just unboxed and test started iGen4500DF. Easy assembly, hooked up to propane and started easily. Remote start works great from inside the house. Amazed how quiet it is. Cannot give much more of a review because this is a purchase I hope to not have to use any time soon (bought for emergency use only).

RV Inverter

I bought this particular Inverter generator after alot of research, it has the power I need for my 30 amp rv, remote start, dual fuel for versatility and it will fit in the back of my tow vehicle. It will also be used as a back up for our home's refrigerator.

High power, good quality, great price

This unit is feature rich, I particularly like the dual fuel option. I could not do the initial start on propane, had to use gas, now it works fine on either. The remote start is cute, although I don't how much I will need or use it. The data center is info I have never had before, and very useful. This generator actually has more power and a smaller footprint than my prior unit, and is portable enough for it's size. So far, I'm impressed with the quality.

Good for both camping and home emergency use.

Had it for only a few days, but using it each day for RV. Starts easily, runs smoothly and quietly. Provides all the electricity I need on propane. Great start for this piece of equipment. Item was well packed with styrofoam, but cardboard box had several cuts in it. Inspected it at the store, no damage to generator seen.
