TOP OF THE LINE

I purchased the iGen4500DF to operate my entire travel trailer. After receiving the generator and running it through the break-in process I put it to the test and it did not stumble once! Very quite, very powerful and very affordable! Great features and easy to use! I would highly suggest this affordable dual fuel generator to anyone looking for a powerhouse!

Easy set up but...

Engine oil found on the unit when I removed the plastic. Strap to hold the battery was hard to find. Once I did find it, it was severed during shipping and I was unable to use it which was disappointing. Other than that, we finished running it for the 5 hour break-in period and all seems to be working fine.

So far, so good

I bought this generator in May but delivery was in June. Arrived in perfect shape, Easy to set up for operation, very good instructions (unusual in this day and age) and started right up on propane and gasoline. Very quite. Even put it under load from our portable A/C and it ran flawlessly on gasoline. Unfortunately, I was shortsighted and hooked up a propane tank that ran dry shortly after start-up...my bad. Very happy with it so far. By not means lightweight but still manageable for a 70 year old. Would definitely purchase again, if fact, we are thinking of getting another and pairing them to power our 50amp 5th wheel.

Good for both camping and home emergency use.

Had it for only a few days, but using it each day for RV. Starts easily, runs smoothly and quietly. Provides all the electricity I need on propane. Great start for this piece of equipment. Item was well packed with styrofoam, but cardboard box had several cuts in it. Inspected it at the store, no damage to generator seen.

Amazing

Super fast delivery. Simple setup. Started and runs like a champ! Extremely quiet. For the power, I say it’s quieter than Honda. Duel fuel is the only way to go. Remote start fired right up and ran like a champ. Customer support if needed ( you will not need it) is there for you. I order 2. One for my camper, the second as whole home backup and needed it already.

Does the work

This is a great generator. Runs my 24 foot bumper pull trailer 30 amp 120 volt just fine. Love the digital readout for load conditions. Also love the load indicator to tell you the how hard the generator is working. Ran my generator on propane right out of the box. Added the correct amount of oil using the supplied screw in funnel and used the key fob to start. Started right up. The extendable handle for moving the generator around is a great bonus. The generator also has two very sturdy handles for easy lifting. I highly recommend this generator for anyone who needs 120 volt power.

Quiet 5000 W

Pro: Easy to set up. Started right up on propane. Very quiet in normal mode and even quieter in eco mode. Con: Owner's manual needs significant updates, including very basic info for initial setup. Though easy, as stated as a positive, the manual is actually misleading for the setup. It's as if Westinghouse didn't even proof the manual. The battery was loose and had bounced around in the compartment; fortunately it did not break anything.

Great features and accessories

I purchase this item from Amazon.com and upon receiving the generator I found it well packaged and no shipping damage. After following the simple setup which include the necessary motor oil it started on the first try using the remote and propane. I knew the IG4500 DF was suppose to be quite but I was surprised how good it was using propane. I also thought the build quality was very good with easy access to the battery and oil compartments. The data center was also a nice feature and seems to work well. I feel considering the power capability and feature set of this generator that the price I paid was reasonable. I have only had it for a couple of weeks but so far I am very happy with my purchase.

All in One Pkg

I just purchased this for use when we go dry camping for both power and recharging our battery bank. It had the dual fuel, electric start and remote start that I was looking for and appears to be the quietest on the market. The true test will come this fall. It came well packaged.

Right size for the job!

I was looking to replace my portable inverter that was stolen while at Canyon De Chelly on the Navajo Nation this summer. This unit is a bit larger, heavier, quicker and more powerful. Looking to use on my next adventure to the east coast and Florida Keys.
