Having both gas and propane fuel sources is great

I purchased this generator as a backup for when we loose power I have not had a chance to use it for a power outage yet. However, I have run it for the break in period. I have been very pleased with the ease of use and the amount of power it has. Overall, I am very happy with it.

most features in one compact package

i waited for this to be available for over a year. IT does all the things i wanted plus has option of dual fuel. Can't find another with DF, remote start, inverter and in this size range. mine out of box fired up on second try with propane. later on gas fired on first try. Will see if it has any problems like some have had.. i am hopeful i will not.

Pleased with purchase, good quality

Purchased to run 5 th wheel camper. Ran 1 a/c all day and night on 1 tank of gas in 90 degree weather worked great also used microwave and coffee maker with no problems. Only used for 1 weekend. Easy to move with handle.When truck is disconnected from camper fits under truck bed cover to lock up when not in use. Pretty quiet gets louder when under load about the same as a Honda. Overall happy with power, size and weight

Has it all

I am very happy with this generator. I selected the igen4500df because: 1 - Quiet Inverter Generator 2 - Higher Wattage for an Inverter Generator 3 - Remote Start 4 - Dual Fuel I waited a couple months for it to come in stock after deciding on this one. Seems Westinghouse had some production delays. I ended up ordering and getting one in mid-August 2019. I bought from Home Depot because I trust them if I get a melon to make it right. I got it set up in 10-15 minutes. I was able to lift out of the box by myself. I put the supplied oil in (note - if you use the full .6L bottle provided you will overfill the oil reservoir). I hooked it up to a 20lb propane tank, pushed the start button and it started right up. I ran it for 20 minutes or so and then shut it down. I tested the remote start/stop from close by and it works great. I ran for about 8-10 hours with low load and then changed the oil (I put in full synthetic). Then, I took it up to the cabin the following weekend to really test it. I ran it about 8 hours / day for 2 days and it worked flawlessly. I ran it on gas and it goes a LONG time on a little gas. The remote start/stop worked well. I turned it off at night and then started it in the morning and it fired right up...even leaving the battery switch on all night. It seems the remote start has a bit longer range than the stop, for some reason. I was 40-50 yards away and needed to walk outside to start it and walk a little close still to stop it. I really like the feature overall. My morning starts were mid 40s (F). I didn't have any issues with cool weather starts. I will be using it this winter and am interested to see if the auto-choke feature does its job. This thing is quiet! I previously had a 6500w champion. That thing has a lot of power but it is loud (not an inverter). The igen4500df ran all day 30 yards from our camp fire and we forgot it was there. I don't care about the fancy gadgets / power meter / usb chargers. We plug into the big 30amp outlet to power the cabin (well pump (110v), lights, toasters, AC, chargers, etc) and forget about it. When the well pump kicks on the lights dim as it spins up and then handles it fine. I'd buy again. I'll try to post again after winter with an update.

Quiet & Easy to Use

I bought this generator to use for off-grid camping & for emergency use during a power outage. It is very quiet so it should keep any nearby neighbors happy if you are running it near others. It delivers as promised and easily powers everything in my camper without issue (30A hookup). Fuel use seems to be pretty good as well. It powered my camper at moderate usage (AC was not running) for about 15 hours on eco mode and had some fuel left. Changing oil seems reasonably painless with a drain plug on the bottom and a screw in funnel/tube to fill new oil. About as accessible as you can get on these enclosed generators. Haven't tried running it on propane yet, but it is nice to have that option available also.

Great Product!

I bought this at the end of March and received it promptly. Setup was easy. However, I can see how filling it with oil can become an issue, but the flexible spout that came with the generator worked well for me and I just tipped it over slightly (gas tank was empty). It fired up right away and switching between gas and propane works great and is also convenient to have. I ran it for a few hours while connected to my travel trailer and it worked well under the load, it was quiet from the inside. I fired it up again almost 1 month after the purchase and same easy start-up. One mistake I made, I tipped it over too much with the tank half full and some gas spilled. I let it dry out and it evaporated completely. It started up again. So far happy with the purchase.

Great RV/Camping generator

If your on the fence about what generator to get for camping or your RV buy this one! It's super quiet and runs perfect! Running it is easy so anyone can do it. You know exactly how much fuel you have left, how much power your using and run time! Have the dual fuel is awesome piece of mind or if your worried about having a gas can around then you can use propane. This is awesome unit and I would definitely buy again.

Great features!

Easy start-up, works great, remote start works great, great features like digital display power and fuel usage, love compact size and operationally quiet. I just purchased so haven't put it to a great test as of yet. But so far, it looks and operates great out of the box.

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
