Great value and features

I bought this model specifically because of the features. I have only had it for about 5 days so I am still breaking it In. The KW capacity is the right size for me and the dual fuel capability is my hedge agains shortage on one or the other fuel type. I an not sure it is properly displaying the fuel level but all else appears to be showing correctly.

Worked great right out of the box

Purchased this for upcoming winter preparation. Initial testing went great on both gasoline and propane fuel. Was able to start via the push-button, pull-handle, and remote all as expected. Quiet (for a generator) operation, couldn't even hear it inside certain rooms of the house. Power output was smooth and as expected.

Great emergency and camping generator

Purchased this last month and have tested it with our camp trailer and running a couple of appliances in our house incase of power outage. Works really well on gas as well as propane. The remote start and stop is really neat. No more getting out of a warm bed to start the generator while camping.

Superb Features

Just purchased this generator. Out of the box I am quite impressed. Fired right off on propane. The remote starter works extremely well, tried it 40 feet away and behind obstacles, EXCELLENT. Bought it to use while remote camping at the lake. I'm hoping the unit will allow us some creature comforts of home, including A/C on those unbearably hot days (nights). I especially like the ability to run on propane. All indications are that this product is an excellent value. Great Job Westinghouse! Might eve

Opening the box and instructions

Bought this in June, ready for hurricane season. Opened the box in early August ahead of hurricane Debby. Very well put together. Excellent operational instructions and user manual. Everything was supplied (except fuels, obviously), even the tools to do routine maintenance. Pretty darned quiet, easy to start and operate.

Review for iGen4500DF

The generator came after a backlog of about 2 months. Setup was easy and it fired right up after putting gas into it. it is every bit as quite as the comparable competitor units for twice the money. push button start and keyfob remote are a nice touch.

Like size and portability

I have a larger generator that is great, but is difficult to transport. I wanted a smaller generator and something quieter (this is why I went with an inverter). This meets both criteria. I also like the ability to use either gas or propane. Good so far.

So quiet and reliable

We are new to Florida and wanted to prepare for any power loss. I read the reviews and decided to go with Westinghouse a well known company. We read the easy instructions and finally tested the product. Boy, we were so impressed with the quality and the low noise. Hopefully we'll never have to worry, but we feel confident with this product.

Easy to setup and operate

First time owning a generator. This unit is well labeled, instructions make sense, and was very easy to setup and operate. It is quite heavy but the extension handle makes moving the unit around easy enough. I will be teaching the wife how to get it all set up and have no concerns about her being able to operate it.

Good inventer Genrator so far.

First generator I bought. It was delivered 2 days earlier than promised. After checking if there were any damage, none. Only one thing I recommend is don't hang the remote control key at the start pulling string, it make me thought the key was missing when I check all the accessories in the accessory box. Fill in the oil, hooking up the battery, connect the propane tank. Following the starting steps, the generator run at the first pushing start button. Checking all the displays at the LED data center, It did not show the remaining run time(F), fuel level(L) because I use propane. It showed Voltage moving between the range of 125V to 120 V when I plug in one medium refrigerator and one small freezer. But the LED data center did not show the power output, it showed 0 KW all the running time (with or without the plugging the appliances) I don't know why (that is why I rate 4 stars). After running 3 hours, I stopped the generator by using the remote control. 20 minutes later, I use the remote key started the unit again ,It worked right away (good). The noise was OK from 67Db to 69Db at 10 feet away and 52Db to 57Db when I was inside the house with the patio door open(about 20 feet away). So, so far so good except the power level display(did not show the output KW). I will try to rerun it 20 days later to see how it happen. I recommended it is worth a try by yourself. If you see it is good for your needs, keep it. If it does not satisfy, you have option to return it (30 days).
