Works as designed

About a month ago I bought this generator and last week we lost power. Ended up running it 22hrs straight for lights my refrigerator and deep freezer as well as 2 fans. Also had my neighbor plug in for 10hrs with my stuff he had a refrigerator and a fan with a few lights gen ran at 25% every once in a while hit 50% . Never cut out and kepted running. Couldn't be happier

Everything I wanted and more!

I ordered this generator primarily for my RV. I needed quiet and enough power to run a 15K BTU AC unit. I wanted the dual fuel and remote start. This delivered all I wanted and more. Super easy to set up and it started right up. After running it for a little while, I connected my RV and was not disappointed. It ran the AC, water heater, TV and microwave all at once. I heard it ramp up as I was adding load, it it quickly settled at a very pleasant rpm and decibel level. I would not feel bad about running this unit at a campground if electricity was not available. I cant imagine how I could be more pleased with this generator. Maybe if Westinghouse figured out how to automate the gas valve on my propane tank so I could completely start it with the remote.

Best out of 5!

Building a new house and was currently sing another brand generator. Purchased this because i liked the idea of the dual fuel. So happy with the purchase called the store and said how much the westinghouse inverter/generator was truly surpassing the expectations. Have had 4 other products and not only is this the quietist one but much better on gas consumption. Have used both gas/propane and both work great. The safety features are also a big plus, shows you care about your customers.I would definitely recommend to a friend, actually i already have.

Dual Fuel is my best option. Size/Noise best.

This generator has clean power and will run all my necessities during a black out. My 5 saltwater reef tanks, TV, Internet, lights and refrigerator are all able to run with this generator. It's size is smaller than I expected and the noise level is much lower than most gas generators. Set up was very easy and the electronic start remote was perfect to start the generator from inside the house. The dual fuel allows me to keep propane on hand then fill gas cans when the power goes out.

Small Package Large Power Output

I purchased this unit after looking at the reviews and doing a lot of research. The unit is quiet fairly small for the amount of power output. It weighs a bit but all portable generators do. I purchased it for my travel trailer and am satisfied with the product.

Remote start and electric choke are terrific

I use this gen for off grid battery charging. The remote start and electric choke means I can remotely press 1 button to startup the gen. For non-line of sight, I also use a SwitchBot which lets me physically press the Start button from anywhere in the world. Again, the electric choke is the critical feature. Lots of units have a pushbutton electric starter, but you still have to operate the manual choke. And of course, this inverter is nice and quiet. Very nice for our location out in the forest.

Love the propane and the power output

I purchased this generator because the specifications said it could handle over 30 AMPs running on gasoline or propane. When our family travels towing our Airstream (30 AMPs) we like to keep the generator in the tow vehicle. It's great that it doesn't smell of gasoline. I also wanted to use this generator as a backup solution with a transfer switch on our house. There is a meter on the front of the generator showing the load and the kilowatts being used. I was able to power two refrigerators, a freezer, lights, and some computers all running together. I added enough items to push it over 30 AMPs and it handled it well. It's quiet and I like the weight. The generator weighs about 100 lbs but it is manageable with two people. The two metal bars on the top help when lifting. The extending bottom handle is great for moving it around when it's on the ground. Nice product.

Nice Generator

Purchased the IGen4500 because of all the features - auto start, dual fuel, remote start. Have not used the propane to run it as of yet, but it runs great on gasoline. Starts very easy with the push button start. Only issue I am having is with the remote start. Does not work. Every once in a while it will shut off the with the remote, but will hardly start it.

Quiet and Efficient

This is generator is pretty good for as small abs quiet as it is. Only reason I didn't give 5-stars is because it requires me to work on it for it to run properly. The automatic chock wires were disconnected right out of the box and it didn't run very well with the factory spark plug. However, once those 2 issues were remedied, it's been great!

Powers my 21-foot Jayco with power to spare!

I have had other generators that were hard to start, noisy and limited. No more sweating pulling that starter rope, now I have an electric push button start. I love the USB ports so I can charge my cell phone without a brick. The Data center keeps me up to date about operating information.
