For our frequent power outages that runs on LP

We have frequent power outages & with a special needs son we needed to be able to run tv& video games for him. Since this is an iGen that runs at 4200 watts on LP, it handles our watts to keep the electronics, internet & essential kitchen items all working. A big plus is being able to use remote/electric start especially for us senior citizens.

Almost perfect.

Set up instructions were clear and concise. Packaging was solid. Dialing in the correct oil level was somewhat tedious because of it previously being test run with oil at the factory. Residual oil in the motor resulted in only partial use of the otherwise exact quantity of included bottled of oil. Connected the battery and propane it fired right up an flawlessly powered through its break-in hours. My only gripes are it not having an OEM quick disconnect set up for the propane and the short propane hose. I very nearly went with a Champion for the quick disconnect feature. Only other suggestion is to move the rolling handle set up so it lifts from the top of the unit which would make deployment of the handle much more efficient.

Exceeds Expectations

I recently purchased my own Westinghouse generator after seeing a friend’s while tailgating. I bought the dual fuel model to avoid packing gasoline to every tailgate. This thing started up first try. I loved the fact that it came with oil and all so you could guarantee it had the right amount. No priming, no wait, just hit the button and go. The remote start is a cool feature, although not sure when you’d ever need it. Nice work Westinghouse!

Nice generator

Generator is quiet and makes electricity like it should. I like the ability to run on propane. Things I would improve. 1. A larger access door to oil side. Door is small making it difficult to access to check oil level. I accidentally added too much oil, instructions warned that there may be some oil. I was slowly removing the oil drain and came to the conclusion that I may not be able to get the drain plug back in quickly because of the tight space so changed my tactic and opted to pull oil back out the fill hole with a fluid extractor. Thinking the extractor may be a cleaner way to change the oil. 2. It would be helpful if there were bolt down tabs to secure the generator to a tray on the back of an RV. Looking forward to using this generator

iGEN4500DF

Received generator early. Box was a little worse looking then normal. But no holes or large dents. In side gen looked good and clean. Went over instructions. Connected the battery, added the oil, gas. Started on third pull. shut it down for a bit. Hit the the remote and it fired right away. Time will tell for the long haul. But for now , a good first impression

Small Package Large Power Output

I purchased this unit after looking at the reviews and doing a lot of research. The unit is quiet fairly small for the amount of power output. It weighs a bit but all portable generators do. I purchased it for my travel trailer and am satisfied with the product.

High power, good quality, great price

This unit is feature rich, I particularly like the dual fuel option. I could not do the initial start on propane, had to use gas, now it works fine on either. The remote start is cute, although I don't how much I will need or use it. The data center is info I have never had before, and very useful. This generator actually has more power and a smaller footprint than my prior unit, and is portable enough for it's size. So far, I'm impressed with the quality.

Just what i was looking for!

I bought this to help power my adventures camping with my 5th wheel. While I can't power everything, the power this little guy puts out is sufficient to charge my batteries and run 1 A/C unit, Microwave, Coffee Maker.. etc. It is amazingly quiet and started right up first try, after following the quick start directions. Love the fact it runs on LP, now I don't have to worry about stale gas, or draining before longs trips. So far I'm super happy with the iGen4500DF!

Perfect for the house!

Not wanting to get caught in another winter storm in North Texas we decided to purchase the iGen4500DF… this little unit is awesome! Set-up is simple and takes just minutes… once we added oil into the generator and connected the battery cables she fired right up. We had tested the unit out by connecting various electrical devices and she purred like a kitten… steady clean electricity. I’m not looking forward to another power outage in North Texas but if it comes we’re ready thanks to our little iGen4500DF.

Generator met my needs

Purchased this generator for home and RV use. Starting was simple and problem free. Once running, I hooked it up to my fifth wheel and made myself popcorn, enjoyed the air conditioning and watched a movie. The generator didn’t seem noisy at all, meeting all my needs and still having power for more.
