Quiet Generator with great features

I recently purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500DF generator, and I'm thoroughly impressed! This generator is an absolute powerhouse, providing reliable backup power whenever I need it. Its dual-fuel capability gives me flexibility, allowing me to use either gasoline or propane, which is incredibly convenient. One of the standout features for me is its efficiency. Despite its robust performance, it runs surprisingly quietly, making it suitable for use in various settings without causing disruptions. Plus, the remote start feature adds an extra layer of convenience, especially during emergencies when every second counts. The build quality is exceptional, with durable construction that instills confidence in its longevity. The control panel is user-friendly and intuitive, making operation a breeze even for those unfamiliar with generators. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The Westinghouse iGen4500DF generator has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, versatility, and reliability. It's a fantastic investment for anyone looking for a top-notch backup power solution. Highly recommended!

Flexible Power

Bought this generator to use with our travel trailer on a week long camping trip in UT, AZ, NM, and CO but didn't get a chance to run it since we managed to get campsites with electrical hookups each night. Wanted the dual fuel option so we could run off the camper's propane tanks instead of toting gasoline around. It was nice knowing we had the flexibility and power needed to run the A/C, refrigerator/freezer, and water heater if we needed to boondock. Will be giving a true review after I get a chance to actually run it.

Compact and QUIET!

I researched generators for our Toy Hauler for over a year and finally decided on this Westinghouse iGEN4500DF. The dual fuel is perfect! Easy start up and operation. VERY quiet. Weighs under a hundred pounds so can be lifted and moved with ease. Even easier with the pull out handle that makes it as easy as pulling my old little red wagon! All controls and indicators are easily read and understood. Very well engineered! Works great with our 30 AMP RV hook up. In future, will be off road boondocking for sure!

Reliable, easy start, and well made

Well made, well thought out. Manual is excellent including parts break-down, safety and preventative maintenance procedures. Came with everything needed to start using immediately except extension cords: Oil to be added, charged battery, tool kit, battery in remote key fob,etc.

Great features

I bought this for my business and we needed it for running a freezer during an event. It arrived just 2 days before the event, but it was so easy to operate that we were all set. Having the dual fuel option - Propane gas and Gasoline is awesome! And it starts with just the push of a button, which is super easy!

perfect for camper

strong enough to run my camper's a/c off propane. i wont put gas in it so my carb will always be clean. weighs less than many smaller inverter generators. propane setup was easy, eco mode throttles up and down as per demand on LP. remote control worked out of box with no programming.

Good First Impression

Unboxing the generator and finding everything I needed was a welcome sight. The battery connected easily to my trickle charger and went to full charge quickly. The oil is a bit of a pain to get to, especially if you have big hands, but the filler hose does screw on and there is a washer at the end, so kudos for that. The cap is difficult to get back on. It keeps wanting to cross thread. A bigger access door would be helpful. Gas cap attached, nice touch. Went to fire it up and it starts and dies right away. Have to look into this. May be a return. Shouldn't have to work on something right out of the box. First impression, I would not recommend, but hoping to be convinced in the long run.

Quiet & Portable

After extensively researching portable generators, my husband settled on the Westinghouse iGen4500DF and is very happy with this purchase! It was very well packed, easy to unpack, and arrived on time. The cost was commensurate with the service it will provide if/when there is a power outage. When testing it out, it started right up and was remarkably quieter than expected. Its compact size and retractable handle make it easy to transport. Overall, we are pleased with this generator!

Ran great on initial test

I purchased this generator for backup home power in the event of power failure. The iGen 4500DF was easy to set up except for a couple of missteps on my part. I over filled the oil reservoir. This was probably due to some residual oil in the engine from the factory test. I added most of the .63qt bottle. The reservoir is supposed hold .6 qt. it overflowed when I removed the funnel. The excess leaked out of the bottom of the case for a short time. On start up I added about a quart of gasoline to the tank. This apparently was not enough to get it running. It would almost turn over from time to time. It showed low fuel on the digital display. So I added some more fuel and that solved the problem. The start up with propane was perfect. It ran a little rough for a few minutes but then smoothed out. I ran it with several small loads plugged in for about a half and hour. It appeared to function properly. I experimented with switching back and forth from gas to propane and that went well. I am pleased with the generator so far.
