Great features

Bought as a stand by generator for my house. I especially love the DF option as I will be using it in case of emergency, so I won't have to worry about leaving gas in the tank. Extremely quiet! Started with ease on the first try. Only negative comment I would have is the oil provided is to much. Instructions say to add the whole bottle.. I made the mistake of not checking as I was putting it in and it overflowed.

Great Features

I purchased this item a few weeks ago and put some gas in it and it started right up. I have had many generators in the past and they have come a long way. This is very quiet, and I like the dual feature of Gas and Propane. I am excited to take it on its first camping trip this weekend.

Recieved generator, packaging was good, no damage, everything included that was supposed to be. Unboxed, read manual, added oil, started on propane, cranked about 5 seconds, then started, first time, starts up immediatly every time after.

SO FAR, SO GOOD.

I PURCHASED THIS FOR USE MOSTLY AS A POWER SOURCE FOR MY RV AND TO HOPEFULLY RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER (I HAVEN'T TRIED THAT YET). I'VE ONLY HAD THIS GENERATOR FOR A FEW DAYS AND HAVEN'T REALLY USED IT. HOWEVER, INITIAL SETUP AND START WERE VERY EASY. JUST CONNECT THE BATTERY, ADD THE SUPPLIED OIL, ADD GAS AND IT WAS READY. IT STARTED ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT. I BELIEVE IT HAD TO PRIME AND PUMP THE GAS; THAT'S WHY IT TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS. THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE THUS FAR, IS THE BATTERY STRAP WAS CUT AND NOT OPERABLE, BUT THAT SHOULD BE EASILY FIXED.

Great Portable Generator

I have multiple Westinghouse generators so when I needed another my go to was a Westinghouse. This new IGen4500 is sleek, easy to move with the rollers and extendable handle, and easy to use with the front panel interface. I am excited to get this bad boy up and running

Great All Purpose Genset

I purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500DFc unit after completing a very complete market evaluation. The unit has everything I need for a back up Genset for our home and for dry camping in our trailer. Being able to add a second unit to increase the system overall power output make this ideal for later updates. Very easy to set up and maneuver on hard surfaces. Remote start is very nice and the noise level in operation is within what I consider the acceptable range. Propane consumption has been nominal during our usage.

Works as good as advertised

This generator is quiet for its size. The wheels are a soft rubber so it doesn't sound like a cheap child's toy when you're rolling it. The set up and start up is very easy and the dual fuel option is great if you choose to store it indoors. I also like running it on propane so the overall weight is much less than if it were to be full of gasoline. I would definitely recommend this to a friend

135 Years of Awesomeness - led to the iGEN4500DF

Hands down an AWESOME Inverter/Gen designed perfectly for the RV Camping world or doing chores around the house. This unit is loaded with features that are appreciated. Push button start, remote start, recoil start never leaves you in a position to get this unit up and running. Serves our purpose well and keeps our Flagstaff up and running with plenty of QUIET power. Thank you Westinghouse for an awesome product.

Quiet

Purchased after much research. Decided on the igen4500DF to have the option of propane or gas. It was quieter then expected, and believe me I did a lot of research. Purchased to use with a ATC Toy Hauler. This will be more then enough to power as needed. I initially started the inverter on propane. Ran pretty rough on propane and would not maintain steady RPM. I went through the trouble shooting as instructed in the manual. Said the issue could be cause by gas left in the carb. (I'm guessing from testing at the factory.) Decided to run it on gas, and it ran incredibly smooth with steady RPM. After break in, (running for an hour with no load) and changing the oil, I decided to try the propane. While it was running on gas, I switched to propane and had no issues. Ran smoothly with steady RPM. My recommendation, break it in on gas. On side note about the break-in, I would certainly change the oil after the first hour. I have never been one to think that there was a need to, but I did see minute metal flecks in the oil after the first hour, as would be normal on any new engine. Overall, seems like a good product. Looking forward to getting out and using it on the hauler.
