Quiet and loaded with features

I bought this generator to replace a very loud generator I have owned for many years. I always felt like I was disturbing the entire neighborhood when I ran that one. This one is quieter than I ever expected, and even quieter on Eco mode. The display for run time remaining, power being used, and hours run is fantastic. This generator has everything I could ever want. I usually have a full tank of propane at the house as a spare for the grill, so with dual fuel capability, even if I've used all the gasoline in the mower, I'm still good to go when I need generator power.

So far, so good

It took minimal time to unpack and set up using the quick start guide. Opening to oil dipstick is a tight fit but manageable. Started first try with electric starter during first start test. By coincidence I had a home power outage that night and was able to test generator function immediately in 85 degree weather. Rested comfortably on my couch running a fan to cool me and light powered by my generator for 1 and 1/2 hours without any issues. Noise generated by generator was slightly above normal conversation level. All in all very pleased with the ease of set up, ease to start, and first try normal functioning.

Right Capacity and Fuel Options I Needed

Formerly living in hurricane alley, I have had more experience with temporarily living off the grid than most. One of the big lessons I have learned is that gasoline/diesel are impossible to find. But, you can find propane! And propane lasts forever. So I wanted the best of both worlds and this is it. We recently moved to central Virginia, where the need for emergency power made a paradigm shift. Air conditioning is not on the top of the list anymore, since most power interruptions occur in the winter here. The need for heat (powered by propane) and safe keeping of food are now at the top of the list. This let me get a smaller generator (previously had a 10K). Easier to handle, shared fuel source and the remote start! I haven't had to use the generator in an emergency, yet. But I do run my generators under load for test every 2 months or so. And this unit is a dream. Not near as heavy as the 10K, but enough for all the loads I need to run. Starts right up, and the remote will be a blessing.

Generator

I bought one this month. The oil compartment is tight hard to get to, it was easy to overfill the oil spout, it dripped all over the ground, hard to get the plastic cap back on. The battery compartment is also tight. Other than that this is an excellent quiet generator so far

Quality Manufactured Unit

Once I decided that I had a need for a generator; I started researching, and I do this in depth. I knew that I wanted an inverter with the highest wattage and lowest THD that I could get. After watching the Westinghouse engine assembly video and QC inspection, coupled with all the features that I wanted, I knew that this generator is what I needed. The dual fuel option is an excellent addition. The portability with the lift handles and towing handle is a great asset. My wife likes the electric start and operational simplicity. Plus the generator is quiet and visually appealing.

Exactly what ad said it is and will do.

The generator is quiet, starts easily and the display function shows what is going on. I was hoping it would run both my generators while on propane buy it can't start either AC unit as the second unit. I wish it was a 5KW unit for me to run both AC units. BUT, it is EXACTLY what it say it is!

Great Affordable Generator

Purchased this generator a year ago. Worked great right out of the box, powers my 30 amp camper trailer with ease and is very fuel efficient. I followed the instructions for storage and draining the carburetor, it still took 10 to 15 tries to get it started finally. After that, all was fine. Mine was missing the battery charger, parallel cable, tools, and tool bag.

Awesome product!

I bought this for my upcoming cross country trip in the camper and have already familiarized myself with this generator. It's so easy to use and is really too good to be true. Has plenty of power to run everything in my camper at the same time including A/C, it's very quiet, relatively light weight compared to most, very affordable, and runs plenty long durations. I love my igen4500

So Far so good

I bought this a little while back but am just now getting to unboxing and throwing some fuel in it. I really like that it is duel fuel. I haven't tested the propane yet on it. But it started up very early and seems quiet and reliable. I need to put it through more real world scenarios and connect it to various household appliances. I really appreciated the various tools it came with, including the oil.

Good generator

I did a test run connecting to my 50A inlet to feed the entire house. I'm using propane for this test. startup is a breeze, start bottom and remote all works. Even without the battery connected, to simulate a scenario when the battery is out of charge, I was able to start with the pull string. With all my 50+ LED lights, TV, Fridge on and furnace running simultaneously, it runs at ~25% load at about 1.5KW, add microwave the load goes up to 75% at 3.34KW. It can also power a single 1500W heater, or a hair drier on high, just need to remember they can only be used one at time, not all together. Overall I think it's a good generator for what I need it for and I would recommend this product.
