Very quiet! Very strong!

When I was shopping for a new generator, I decided on the iGen4500DF for the dual fuel option, the LED data display, the high wattage output, along with low noise. I was sure it was going to be enough to support the power requirements of our travel trailer and get us through a power outage if needed, but the surprise was how easily it handles it all! Plugged into our trailer, it doesn't struggle at all to run the furnace or A/C. The only thing I could even consider to be a down side, would be the weight...it is a little heavy. Not for one with a bad back (definitely lift with the legs)! All in all though, it has exceeded my expectations and would absolutely recommend this machine to anyone looking for a quality generator that has high output and super low noise! I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Easy direction to follow

I bought this a month and so happy I did to prepare for winter storm. Also the reasons I bought it since I have a toddler and baby, I couldn't waste not having heater or other electrical devices off for a couple of days. Safety first, I have learned from last year winter storm in Texas.

Choke problems

I did not use for two months and when I did It started hard and smelled of gas after a short time of running had a puddle under it. Westinghouse offered to send new carburetor and gave me a name of a shop. I have not had time to get it fixed yet. When running it’s quite powers my tools.

easy to use, looks great

bought this a few weeks ago. easy to set up a few things after opening the box and it was ready to go. having the wheels makes it super easy to use to move, love the push button start option or can use the key fob with it. very happy with the my purchase so far and it so quite that you can forget it’s running !!!

Exactily What I Was Looking For!

I wanted a backup generator that wasn't too big like an open frame model. But I also wanted an inverter model that was more powerful than most inverter models. Finally, it was important for me to get a dual fuel generator. The iGen 4500DF fits the bill perfectly.

It’s a generator

Interesting that they offer you a generator cover if you leave a review when you register the product. When you haven’t had time to even try it, they want a review. Seems a little bizarre to me. So first impressions… I like that the oil bottle holds just the right amount to fill it up. It was a bit messy, but there is a nice threaded funnel that really helps. I got oil all over my hands, but not all over the generator. I started it on propane, but haven’t put any gas in it. It took a few pulls for first start. The starter doesn’t work, so I will find out fast how customer service is to deal with. It is quiet. I hooked a space heater up an it works. It seems like the marketing videos show them hooking propane up to a quick connect, but you need a wrench. The wrench included doesn’t fit the either of the propane regulator or hose fittings, so I am not sure what that wrench is for yet. I think it is weird that they don’t ship the high altitude kit with it. They want you to buy that separately on the website. I was able to find a propane kit but not a carb kit. They don’t even sell one. It is crazy that they even sell generators in high altitude areas that are not ready to run in that area. Time to call customer service and see if I can get some help with the starter.

Awesome Generator!

I have owned this generator for coming up on 2 years now and have had zero issues with it. I absolutely love the Dual Fuel capabilities and have found it to be quite useful. I use it for my camper and it allows me to carry around 20lb propane tanks instead of tanks of gas that are always smelly and spill. The handle on the generator makes it move around (although lifting it into the back of the truck at 100lbs can be a challenge). It always starts up right away. I would but this generator over again if it ever quit but I don't see that happening. It's a solid unit.

Did alot of research

Did a lot of research before buying this generator for home and trailer use. Read from reviews that it is incredibly quiet and YES, it is. Very impressed with the easy setup and overall operation of the generator. So far, I am pleased with the purchase.

Nice product runs quiet

Would not start out of the Box. This is a closed frame unit. Had to disassemble to Plug in a wire for the automatic choke. This would be an easy fix at the factory .So that the customer would not have to do this. It is running good now. Would have rated higher if not for the choke problem

Remote control problem

Hello. I just bought the IGEN4500DF generator. The only thing that does not satisfy me is the remote control. She doesn't always succeed in stopping the generator .... Sometimes I have to press several times before I can stop it. Up to 10 shots. I spoke to Westinghouse about it ... awaiting their response.
