Get This Baby!

This is the second generator I've purchased. The first one (not a Westinghouse, and not an inverter) failed on me after 3-4 uses.... This one is wayyyyyy better, quieter, and uses way less fuel - either propane or gas. Best purchase I've ever made... Get an inverter - they cost more, but are worth it... love the easy start, including the remote - no need to even touch the unit..... my wife loves that.

Very quiet and powerful

I did alot of research for a generator for the 5th wheel. I wanted inboard but for 1/4 the price you can't beat this thing. The remote start is amazing and works great for cold mornings. Haven't had to use the AC yet but I know if won't be a problem. The genset is amazingly quite which was a concern. I have a Honda EU2000i and this genset is quieter than the Honda. Perfect for camping!

Less than One day

Directions/QuickStart was easy to follow and started up immediately. Remote start/stop, pull start and manual stop all worked as expected. Little funnel for oil was nice and sealed with no spillage. Appreciate that little detail. Not a long use review but out of the box I'm impressed.

Great value for the money!

I purchased this duel fuel generator for those emergency weather conditions so that I could either power up a few items in my home or plug my camper directly into it and move into my camper if I lost total power in my house. This generator gives me a choice. I also love the option of having the propane option so I don't have to store fuel.

Awesome Unit

Ordered on a Thursday evening, recieved it Monday morning, added oil, connected the battery, added fuel and fired right up after a few priming cranks. Used the key fob inside the house with the doors closed (generator outside) and was able to start it every time. Love the quietness. Can't wait to take it to the Talladega race in May to give it a good try out

Love all the features

I've had it about a week , got it broke in, I researched duel fuel generators for awhile before purchase, My biggest surprise is how quiet it is! Also all the features, remote start, gas gauge, easy to assemble just put oil in, connect battery, put gas in and turn it on it's that simple!

Igen4500df

Bought last year while hooking up the battery I noticed loose wire. Removed side cover and found choke wire had came loose more than likely during shipping. In Feb of 22Lost power during ice storm, started right up on propane. Kept the blower running on our fireplace to heat the house. We had no frozen pipes. Would have given five stars but had the loose wire.

Love Remote Start & Running On Propane

I bought the IGEN4500DF for RV boondocking and home backup power. Love the remote start when in the RV and I can connect it to my remote propane port at the rear of my trailer. It's very quiet near idle and fairly quiet even when running at full bore. This is only only generator I could find with propane, auto-choke and remote start. Very happy with the purchase!

So Quiet!

I bought this two weeks ago after multiple power outages in my area. I'm so glad we did. Delivery was fast and it came with everything you need in the box with the exception of fuel. It started right up and is so wonderfully quiet for a generator. It is a must for a small back up and looking forward to using it for camping.

Great generator!

Great package featuring quiet operation, remote start, and the advantages of an inverter generator. Started right off the bat after adding oil and gasoline. With the 2021 hurricane season underway, I'm confident that I have a reliable source of emergency power should the need arise. The only caution I'd offer for new buyers is to take care filling the oil. The provided funnel was a great help, but the horizontal fill tube and possibly a little oil in the crankcase resulted in an overflow when the oil (also provided) was added. Luckily, I'd put a few pieces of paper towel under the end of the fill tube and this captured about a tablespoon of oil that leaked out when the funnel was removed and otherwise would hav ended up in the bottom of the generator's housing. Again, overall a great package!
