Easy to set up, and use.

I selected this generator because I live in an urban area and noise inconvenience to my neighbors was a big concern. The reason for requiring a generator was back up to the power grid going down, so it had to provide enough power to run a fridge/freezer x2, and other small items such as TV, or Internet which can be turn on and off as required. The generator also had to be something a senior citizen could move on their own. Noise - the noise level is quiet enough that it could run overnight without disturbing us or neighbors. During the day if nearby to the generator the noise isn't loud enough to be a problem. I measured 62db when about 25ft away, and audibly it wasn't louder closer too. To my ears it wouldn't be a problem running it for long periods of time. In the short time we have had the generator it has run everything we hoped it would. It wasn't purchased to run the whole house but for the needs we wanted it for it performs well. If down the line we decide more power is needed we will buy another one to run in parallel. That was a feature we noted before buying and room for expansion is a worthwhile feature. Weight - The attached handle and wheels make it fairly easy to move. It is kept in the garage and can be wheeled out with a little effort. Where we place it to run it is gravel and moving over the gravel requires more effort but it is not a struggle to do so. Took some time researching what to buy before we decided on the iGen4500DF, and are very happy with our choice. We went duel fuel to avoid the hassle of storing gas and it deteriorating.

Solid Generator

Recently purchased after an outage. It was very easy to set up, and instructions were easy to follow. I ran it with propane and in eco mode, it's about as quiet/loud as an idling lawn mower, which is nice. the handle makes it easy to move about, though I am slightly concerned that it has a bit of flex to it. All in all, a nice product.

Powerful & quiet

I bought this generator because of the 2021 winter storm in Texas, and less than a week after I got it I used it after a hurricane knocked out power for half a day. It had no problems powering all the essentials - my refrigerator, window unit, freezer, lights, and even a toaster oven to cook meals. The push button start is very convenient, especially for my wife. I especially love that it can use propane, so I can stock up and be shelf stable for a long time. All in all, I'm really pleased with this generator and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Easy to setup and easy to use.

I bought this 3/26/21 and received it 4/2/2021. Heavy but manageable particularly with the slide out handle for ease in rolling. Setup is easy. Impressed with quality. Will report back once I have accumulated operating hours but very happy with this generator for dual fuel RV usage.

Small inverter generator

I purchased this inverter/ generator as part of a bus conversion into a tiny home to supplement my solar system during inclement weather. It has exceeded my expectations, quiet, reliable, and the remote function is a fantastic feature. It’s also less expensive than similar models, most of which do not have a dual fuel capability.

First start!

Out of the box started first push of start button. Only breaking in period so limited review. Nice features, very quite and love the dual fuel. Digital data display is a big plus. Future model suggestions for Westinghouse to add: oil drain valve and tube, oil changes could be much simpler and not as messy and how about a float drain valve and tube so you don’t need to open the side panel every time you turn it off and store. Just suggestion I will probably add myself. I bought two of the 4500DF inverters.

Best Deal for the Money!

This unit was the only one I could find that hit all the buying points. It has remote start/stop, it's very quiet, great rating with previous owners, digital readout shows everything including run time left on remaining fuel and how much fuel is left in the tank, dual fuel so propane is an option, it's very easy to move with the wheels and has a pull out handle.

So far, so good.

Unit arrived in great shape. Packaging was excellent. Unpacked, charged battery, performed start-up procedures as outlined in the manual. Connected unit to propane tank via supplied regulator, selected propane as the fuel source, turned the battery on and pressed the start button. The unit started right up. I purchased this unit for both RV use and emergency home use. I have not put it through its paces yet but so far it appears to be doing what it's supposed to.

Good product- but with issues

It runs quiet and powered my camper quite well during the break-in period. I like the fact that it has the propane regulator, hose, oil and a tool kit with it, along with a very complete owners manual. The extendable pull handle works well. I wonder why they have a remote start feature with a fob when you have to disconnect all cords from the inverter before starting it. My biggest concern is the digital display is not functioning - at all. I have been in contact with the service number and the gentleman told me to remove the front cover and see if there are any loose wires on the panel. Since I am comfortable working on these types of things, I did. I found no loose wires or connections and the panel still does not work. I have sent a copy of my receipt and am waiting to find out how far I have to drive to get it to authorized shop. I hope it goes well. I detest buying a new product and having it fail right out of the starting gate, or having to investigate the problem myself. It should be sound when it leaves the factory.

Runs great, could be easier to maintain

Love the way it runs, smooth and quiet compared to my old Generac. Access to oil fill through access panel is difficult due to tight fit and my hands aren't exactly large. Be careful when adding fuel for the first time - the screen filters will back up the flow if you pour too fast. Other than those growing pains I would recommend the unit.
