Great Value for the Features

Unit arrived quickly and with no physical damage. Started right up on propane, but kept surging on idle. Contacted customer service and they are sending a new carburetor for me to replace, if I feel handy enough. If not, they offered for me to take it to a authorized shop. I will wait and see what is involved. Part is on its way. If it wasn't for the carburetor issue, I would give 5 stars. Really meets my needs.

Awesome generator

Ran flawlessly for a week straight after Hurricane Ida. The generator was whisper quiet and produced enough power to run multiple refrigerators, a portable A/C, some lights, and charge phones. The unit is light enough that two people could easily move it to higher ground to prevent the generator from being flooded. I highly recommend the iGen4500DF.

Great features, it came just as described.

Product arrived intact with all needed accessories to hook up to LP or gas. I am very pleased with the remote start, the dual fuel and the fact that I can switch from gas to LP or vice versa while the engine is running. This is my second Westinghouse generator, I just needed a larger one with these new added features. The older one is still running just fine and it's a 2012 model I am a happy camper.

Awesome so far

I researched generators for quite a while before deciding on this one. The features that mattered to me the most were dual fuel, remote/push-button start, and the noise level. We have another inverter generator that we bought when we had a pop-up trailer, but we needed something with more power after purchasing a travel trailer with an AC and a microwave. Everything works so far, it's much quieter when running on propane. I also like that all the plugs and things on the control face have little covers/caps to keep out dust and water. One thing I wish it had was some kind of locking point where you could run a chain lock through it to secure it to something. I'll use the two top handles, but it looks like it only takes a small socket to unscrew the bolts that hold those handles on.

Has it all

I did a lot of research prior to buying this generator. It has all the features I was looking for and it runs very quiet. I can use this to run everything in our RV trailer and as a backup for power outages at home. I also like the fact we can run it on gas or propane.

iGen 5000 purchased for the features

I just received this product and appears undamaged out of the box. I like the dual fuel option and will likely use propane the most. Purchased to use for RV and camping. After adding oil and attaching propane, it started right up. So far running smoothly during the break in timeframe. May add updates after using for more intended demands. Sound level as expected, like a muffled lawn mower. Much quieter than a standard generator.

Great features at a reasonable cost

I bought this generator to power a boat lift on our dock. I looked at a number of other “quiet” generators and felt this model offered the best features at a good price. I haven’t used this yet at the dock but set up and started at the house, easy to start and quiet both gas and propane. Remote start an added plus.

Loving this generator!! One small issue

Needed a good powerful and fuel efficient generator with a large fuel tank for our travel trailer. It runs everything in our trailer easily. I would purchase this again without hesitation. Only thing I found out the hard way is leaving the battery switch on overnight so I could remote start in the morning. I had a fully charged battery that night and it wouldn't start the next morning. Tried to pull start it since the battery was dead and it would absolutely not start. After much frustration I found out the electric start and pull start depend on the battery which doesn't make much sense with the pull being your backup?? I charged the battery once we got home and it fired up first pull with the pull start. Now I leave the switch off when not using and haven't had any issues.

Oil leaking bad

Bought on Nov 2021, never use till last month when Beryl went through, lost power, for a day, the generator started fine, quiet, ran for about 7 hours and shut down itself because of low oil level, oil was leaking all over my ground , wait couple hours for cool down, filled the oil back up, ran for 5 , 6 hours later, it leaked oil to empty and shut down again…..I’ve been tried to contact Westinghouse to see if they can do anything about that, I know it’s been 3 years, but still , it’s brand new…

Great little workhouse

I got this product right after Hurricane Helene swept through. Like many in our area of western North Carolina we had no power or phones for over 2 weeks. This is a real workhorse, and the dual fuel feature is especially appreciated. Good job Westinghouse!
