High quality generator

I mainly bought this in case of power outage, which we haven't had yet. But it did come in handy when I bought a jukebox out of a storage unit. I also plan to use it for dry camping when we eventually get a trailer. I chose this particular model for the dual-fuel option, and the inverter efficiency. Have yet to test it hard, but pleased with the purchase so far.

Quiet,remote start,runs on propane.

I can't say enough about this full featured generator. I was looking for a lightweight generator that runs on propane and has enough power to run both a/c units in my travel trailer. This unit will do that on propane which is absolutely my fuel of choice for stability and convenience. I will eventually put soft starts in to make the transition a little smoother.This unit has every feature you could want including the ability to pair for a full 50 amp output.I opened the box, hooked up the battery,added the oil, connected the tank and it fired up in 2 seconds. This unit is every bit as quiet as generators costing more than twice as much. At 98 lbs, this old man can still load it by myself. I could go on all day about this unit,but if your in the market for a dual fuel sine wave generator, I would definitely give this one some serious consideration.

Easy to Operate, and quiet!

This is definitely a well-designed and well-built inverter generator. The unit is compact and relatively light weight for the amount of power it generates. The electric starter worked perfectly after the included battery is charged overnight. It is fairly quiet during operation, especially when it is set to the "Eco" mode. All in all, this generator is well worth its price!

Quality construction

I was totally surprised how easy it was to set this generator up.The set-up directions are clear and easy to under stand. After preparing it for operating with gasoline I was still concerned but a few seconds after i hit the auto button it was purring like a kitten. It is TOPS in quality of Construction, Operation and Appearance.

Super quiet, plenty powerful, yay remote start!

We have been using this inverter for three weeks now and are so happy with it. It's nice and quiet, powerful enough to run the fancy schmancy gadgets in our off-grid cabin, and the remote works great through walls and doors. Thanks Westinghouse for making an awesome product!

Easy set-up

Just got my new generator. Wow. Very easy instructions on how to set up. Everything included so I could test right away. Started immediately with all three methods (push button, fob, and pull start) using either the gas or propane as fuel source. Very quiet. Easy to transport using handle. Love gauges to let you know how much fuel, voltage, etc.

This generator is very quite for the size it is.

I recently bought this so I could have power for our travel trailer and it is a bonus that it will power our house if needed in the future also. We also wanted the duel fuel option because we don't want to have to haul & store gasoline because it is much more dangerous that propane.

Works as advertised

Worked right out of the box. Started instantly and it has performed as advertised. Read lots of reviews and chose Westinghouse because of size and features. I changed oil after five hours of running it at 25%. The oil was still good but I wanted to use those five hours as a break in to give the motor the best opportunity for success. The generator runs our RV 15k air conditioner with ease at 50 % capacity.

Great Generator

I tested this out for a couple of hours and it met all my expectations as an inverter generator. Pros include great control panel, easy set-up / start, and very smooth operation overall. I hooked up everything I wanted and still couldn't get this thing over 50% utilization! Cons are minor, but I have no clue where they get 52db noise level--we measures and even from 25ft away it was above 60db. The oil situation is also difficult--when first filling, it slightly overfilled and spilled oil all over the enclosed inside frame. The oil spout is tough to get to, and draining the oil looks like it will be a pain without some sort of custom solution for oil to actually exit the enclosed frame via the cutout hole on the bottom. But overall, really good generator and I am happy with the purchase.

Great Generator - Extremely Quiet and Easy to Use

We have been researching multiple generators and we continued to come back to the iGen4500DF. We could not be happier with the purchase, it started right up and provides great power as a backup to our home. It is great that this particular model can use both propane and gasoline.
