Quiet; Camper Lights, Fridge, AC @ 50% Pwr

Purchased for boondock camping. Tested upon arrival, ran great on gas and propane. Connected a 30-amp line to trailer and with all main lights, refrigerator, dehumidifier, and AC running it’s only using 50% of its capacity and it handles the starts appropriately. I think I’m going to like this new addition to my camping gear!

QUICK SETUP & FAST START

TOOK ONLY 20 MINUTES TO ADD OIL, CONNECT BATTERY & HOOKUP PROPANE TANK. STARTED IMMEDIATELY. RAN FOR TWO HOURS WITH INTERMITTENT 1650w LOAD. INTEND TO ONLY USE PROPANE; NEVER GASOLINE. WITH 1650w LOAD & ECON MODE ON, SEEMED LOUDER THAN SPEC. TOP OF GAS REGULATOR WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED & ALL SCREWS WERE RUSTED, WHICH I HAVE REPORTED TO WESTINGHOUSE; CASE PENDING

Great power and quiet!

Bought this about 2 weeks ago and so far it has been good to me. I do a lot of travel shows for a ski club and 90% of the locations do not have power. I wanted to give this not so little guy a try. Only thing holding me back from doing 5 stars is the housing seems to be subpar.

They are so good i bought 2!!!!

I bought this item a month ago and literally gave the generator a run for its money. I follow maintenance as it states in the instructions and this thing just goes on. This generator was so good I decided to buy a second unit. The ability to run on gas or propane has proven super useful already. Love this Generator!

Very happy with the dual fuel

I needed a generator that would support our new travel trailer and found the iGen4500DF at a competitive price with positive reviews. The generator was well packed and arrived quickly without any damage or signs of shipping stress. The setup was very straight forward and happened without any issues. I connected it to a propane tank and it started up right away. I ran the generator for a few hours as part of the 5 hour break in period and was very pleased with the performance and low noise levels. I could easily have a conversation with someone while standing next to the generator while it was running. So far my experience has been perfect from purchase through setup.

Won’t run on LP gas.

I bought this generator based on the many positive reviews, but have to say I am not impressed. Some of the features, like remote start are nice, but after many attempts, I cannot get it to run on propane. The exhaust fumes are also rather strong like there is unburned fuel being expelled. This unit also came damaged from the shipper. Will be contacting customer service.

Quiet As A Mouse

If you are looking for a powerhouse generator that won't keep you up at night, this is the one. Super quiet, runs forever, fast starting, tons of features and a handheld remote control that starts this beauty from within your camper. A dual fuel system allows you to use gas or propane, just connect it to a portable propane tank or use your quick connect from your camper. LED readout screen monitors wattage used and warns you if your fuel levels are low. The Westinghouse brand backs up their products with a three year warranty, with most other brands having a year or less. Other similar generators with comparable features will cost you twice as much, so why shop around, just look at the Westinghouse brand generators for your next purchase, you won't be disappointed.

Very Quiet

Came quicker than expected. Instructions could have been a little more clear about connecting the battery. the oil that came with it over filled the unit... but other than that simple to get going. so far it works grate and starts on the first try every time. I plugged in a grinder and it doesn't even bump up the idle when running, I'm pleased. I had a Champion 3100 before .. This is much quieter, I'm very pleased with my purchase.. my only complaint is there is no 12 volt plug or way to direct charge a battery. If it had it I would give it 5 Stars

I love the power

Easy set up and started immediately. I turned on everything I could including 13,500 ac and refrigerator freezer. Didn’t even phase it. With everything running at the same time it showed 50% power usage. Next thing to actually use it out camping. If it continues to perform as it did in the first half hour I couldn’t be happier.

Clean power for modern electronic appliances.

Runs on propane (less efficient but cheaper) or gas and is more quite than most generators. Remote start is a plus as well. Built in wheels and handle makes moving it around easy. Only weighs 98 lbs, so it's relatively portable. I can lift it and move it instead of pulling it without much issue. Access panels make it easy to get to the inside components. Built in battery charge port is nice as well. Only wish it was easier to drain the oil.
