easy start up

This is a great Generator, the duel opportunity allows you an advantage as to have back up,,,not loud like other generators....I love that my wife has no trouble moving the unit and starting it up.....I am a paraplegic so this is a saving grace. And it also comes with a free cover.

Impressive generator!

I can compare this generator to my existing Honda as well as my past Generac and Coleman generators. I am very impressed with all aspects - the build quality, the instructions, the included start-up kit, and the operation. I put in oil and fuel, and it started immediately with very little running noise. The handle design to move it around is also well done. Now planning to buy a second one.

A very fine generator

be sure to inspect the carton and take pictures before and during opening the carton. I noted a small tear / hole in the box and also a handle hole....or what I thought was a handle for moving the box. strange was there was only one. Well, as it turns out there's a scrape on the back of the unit which tore some of the power and registration info sticker and the plastic shroud is disconnected where something had gone through the carton then into the side of the generator. In construction I've seen this type of damage and this was caused by a fork lift, the fork of the lift punctured the carton. maybe someone will reach out and agree to replace this this unit with an undamaged one. we'll see. I'm happy with my purcase just difficult to be proud of damaged goods. Thanks

Just got it

I just received this today, 03/06/2020, Got it out of the box, filled up the fluids, connected the battery and it started right up without a hitch. I let it run for a few minutes and hooked up a fan and a few other small electrical items. It seems stout and should be able to handle all of our camping/trailer needs as well as powering the essentials during power outages.

TESTING AND ALL ETURES ARE GREAT

THIS UNIT IS WORKING GREAT. TESTING AND MAKING SURE I AM NOT EXCEEDING THE 50% POWER BREAK IN LIMIT. SO FAR THIS IS WORKING AS EXPECTED AND IS THE PERFECT SIZE FOR MY NEEDS. I RECEIVED THE PRODUCT AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE UNIT. I HOOKED IT TO PROPANE AND IT STARTED IN FOUR PULLS, WHICH WAS IMPRESSIVE. SO FAR ALL FUNCTIONS WORK.

High power, good quality, great price

This unit is feature rich, I particularly like the dual fuel option. I could not do the initial start on propane, had to use gas, now it works fine on either. The remote start is cute, although I don't how much I will need or use it. The data center is info I have never had before, and very useful. This generator actually has more power and a smaller footprint than my prior unit, and is portable enough for it's size. So far, I'm impressed with the quality.

Started Right Up & Quiet

I purchased this a week ago to get ready for a planned electric outage. Added the oil, followed the directions, connected the propane tank, and it started right up. I will be keeping the starter battery charged with a battery conditioner to ensure it is always ready to start up.

Very nice appearance and features

It’s a heavy unit, and a “handful” for a single person to lift into the back of a pickup or into a storage compartment of a RV. I wish the engineers would come up with an exhaust extension so that CO fumes would be ducted away from the RV. Overall, I believe it’s the best answer for running two A/C’s with a residential refrigerator. I installed SoftstartRV’s on both of my 15k BTU A/C’s. And that made it feasible for me to use the iGen4500DF Inverter/Generator.

Quality Inverter Generator

This is the first generator that I have purchased that will be used with my 50amp RV. Packaging of the unit was great, no damage upon receipt. Instructions/user manuals were very clear with several pictures/diagrams to help get orientated with the generator. I completed the "break in" process outlined in the manual and the generator is running great. Thank you Westinghouse for providing a quality and stress free product!

Easy start and operation

I purchased the IGen4500DF in September of 2019 and I am very glad I did. After spending considerable time reviewing portable generators, I choose the IGenn4500Df due the very favorable reviews and being one the the very few dual fuel inverter generators on the market. Set up was very easy with the detailed manual and supplied equipment. Over the past month, I have used the generator to power numerous items. On each occasion the generator has started immediately and has exceeded my expectations.
