Great value! Excellent features for the price

I purchased an iGen4500df last month and after unboxing, realized the starter had broken apart from engine. Returned item, reordered and received new unit in two days. Used the following weekend and worked without a hiccup. After unboxing, connected battery, filled with the provided oil, gassed it up and it started first push of the starter button. Although initial unit had problems, I would definitely recommend this product due to the features you get in this price range.

Met Expectations!

Unit was in good shape when delivered and everything worked as expected(even though it was delivered on it's side). Great instruction manual and nothing was missing. Started right up, runs quiet and seems very reliable(still breaking in, but have run 3hr total during two periods).

Worked well out of the box.

We bought this generator to use with our camper when we are boondocking. When we received the generator we took it out of the box, read the directions, filled it with the provided oil and hooked it up to our RV propane. It started the first time and was able to power our air conditioner and microwave at the same time. We have since used it for a full week boondocking for a total of around 10 hours without an issue. I will also say that the remote start is nice, with the push of a button we had power without having to go outside to start the unit.

Great Value

I bought this generator this week, it seems to be a great value, I read and followed the start up instructions and it fired up easily, I have ran it on gas and propane, I have used the remote and the pull rope to start the generator and all seems to be working perfectly, I have been very impressed so far and would recommend this product

Has everything I wanted.

This is a very sophisticated machine! Its pretty quiet, and has remote start, dual fuel, parallel capability and a "suitcase-type" handle to wheel it around. It also makes a few more watts than most of the similar units I looked at. It is clearly a cut above the competition. Customer service answered a question I had via phone immediately. When you register the machine with Westinghouse, you need the serial number. It is found on a barcode "sticky" tag that has the number on it. But it doesn't say serial number.

iGen4500DF

Just received my new generator in only 5 days .It was packaged very well. I did a visual inspection all look good ,the only thing I noticed was the L.P. Rubber cap that protects the L.P. fitting would not stay on, I noticed that the L.P. fitting was not centered so the rubber cap will not push on , no big dill. So I put the oil in and connected the battery and hooked a L.P. tank up to it and it started the second try. I was hoping it was going to be quiet and it is. I love it I can't wait to go camping. Thanks for a making a great generator.

Awesome!

This is our 1st generator and I couldn't be happier with my purchase so far. Super easy to setup (I'm using Propane) and starting the unit couldn't be any easier than pushing a button! Much quieter than I expected which is another plus. Plan on building it a small generator shed and hooking it up to a 6 circuit transfer panel in the garage in case the next ice storm causes us issues. Now I may never loose power again not that I finally have a generator but that's perfectly ok with me.

Love this generator

Apparently these generators are so popular that my last one got stolen. I really like this thing. It has the best features out of any generator. It's quiet, can run on propane or gasoline, has remote start, has a fuel tank big enough to run all night and keep the AC on. There's actually no other generator that has all these features.

Learning Process - First Time Users

I just purchased this and tested it out as soon as it arrived. The instructions were helpful since I have never owned a generator before. The features are great: 3 outlets, USB ports, really loved the digital display, and the key fob for remote on/off is handy. Will be using it for our pop-up camper. Only downside we see right now are the tools that came with it. The screwdriver already broke. I would recommend having your own tools with you and not rely on the ones that came with the generator.

Very solid, well engineered portable generator

I am very well pleased with our purchase decision. There are a number of portable inverter generators, not many at this price point that are so well engineered and laid out though. We are RV users and though I have actually just received it and set it up I am convinced we made the right choice for our money. It is not as light as a Honda but a Honda at this power level would cost twice as much. As for noise I can't compare it to any as this is the only portable we have, but it does not seem obnoxiously loud by any means, and the camping we do we tend to not be around a lot of people and the generator will be used to charge the batteries we have for our trailer for the most part, intermittent use, not continual. So we are quite happy with our iGen4500DF.
