Runs great

So far I am extremely happy with the unit. I have seen a lot of reviews, and still decided to go with this one. It has all the features that I wanted. It started right up, so no “choke issues” for me! It is as quiet as the predator 3500. And more power!

Love the Remote, it's the bomb!!

I'm totally off grid, seems to be working great, I've only been using it just shy a week, but I really think the remote start is great. It took me a bit to figure out the battery charger deal, they really don't explain it to well. I'm on propane now have not tried the gas part yet, but I'm glad it's there if I need it.

Perfect for potential household emergencies

I bought this particular generator after looking at many brands and models, and selected this because it has a dual fuel feature, runs quietly, provides ample power, and comes from a company with a solid reputation for reliability and durability. So far, I am not disappointed!

IGEN4500DF

This item arrived in excellent condition. Set up instructions are easily followed and everything is as advertised. I tested it with a small air compressor first and it worked fine. I have plugged in our small RV trailer and everything works just fine. The built in wheel/handle combination for pulling it around is an excellent touch and necessary. I am very happy with this purchase

Phenomenal Generator

When I ordered this generator it was on backorder and I waited several months for it to arrive. It was well worth the wait and has exceed all my expectations. We had a bad ice storm in February and was without power for a week. This generator easily provided power for all my appliances I needed in the house. I was amazed on how long it runs on a tank of gas or propane with a good load on it. I love all the features with my favorite being the dual fuel capability. I've also taken it camping on numerous occasions and all my friends were so impressed with all its features and how quiet it ran. Two of my friends purchased one as soon as they returned home. Westinghouse hit a grand slam with this outstanding generator. So many features for an amazing price.

So far so good

I bought this generator a little over a month ago and have had zero issues with it so far. It was super nice and it came with all the attachments needed to runoff of propane out of the box. It was also nice that it came with the oil and the funnel to put the oil in as well. It also came with a handful of tools and the remote already ready to roll right out of the box. I have only owned it for a month so I can't give much information on durability or lifespan but so far it seems like a solid built product.

Igen4500df

Generator runs fine out of the box. Still working through the break in period so I don't know how it will do under full load but the remote start does not work. The manual shows a different control panel and the remote pairing instructions don't work.

The iGen4500DDF sets the bar

I purchased this generator to power my RV with a 15000 BTU AC. It powers the AC, lights and even the microwave with capacity to spare. Very quiet and the quality is top notch. Remote start is great and the run time is very good (who wants to refill the tank at 5AM!). Highly recommended.

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.

Amazing Generator - Quiet, Dual Fuel and Light!!!

After reviewing quite a few Generators (Champion, Predator, Honda, etc...) I singled out this one as my number one pick of them all. This was the quietest, lightest weight and had the Dual Fuel option too for a great price. Also produced the electricity needed for the home and RV to run everything. I'll mainly use this to camp in my RV off grid and power it off my onboard RV propane tanks. Had to wait a little before ordering because it was out of stock with the Covid situation, but totally worth the wait now that I have it.
