Just fired it up for the first time!

Set up went really well, very easy, and well laid out in the manual. I am planning on mainly using the unit with propain, being I will be using it for the camper and a backup for some devises in the house for power outages. With the non frequent use of the inverter, I thought the use of propain would be a great option, to decrease the change of guming up of the carb.

Just what I needed

It's time for snow and freeze in Texas again. This time I'm ready. I tested out the generator and it worked better than I hoped. I like that it runs on propane. I feel much better about storing propane for emergency use than gasoline. If I need to switch to gas it won't be a problem.

Very nice Generator/Inverter

I recently bought this generator and i'm very impressed! Very quiet, runs on gas and propane, and a very nice and sturdy unit. Shipping carton was very protective of the unit inside. Box had been banged up some in shipping, but generator and contents were all in great shape and with no marks or damage.

Nice generator

Quick and easy to get up and running - reviewed the manual, followed the quick start guide, added oil, set-up with propane, pushed button and it started right up and ran great. And it is relatively quiet. First impression - I am happy. I looked at a lot of generators before buying this one. Seemed to be a good value, had a lot of positive reviews, was compact and had the power output I potentially need.

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.

Surprising Quiet! Wow!

Once I got it set up, it started right away, and wow was I surprised how quiet it was. My wife and I were able to talk right next to it without raising our voice to hear each other. My only challenges I had were due to my bigger hands. The opening for the oil was tough to work with due to the smaller opening and my big hands. It would be helpful if that opening was made bigger. Also don't pour the entire bottle of oil in. I did according to the directions and although the entire bottle did go in without overflowing, there was too much added and I had to remove some. Second thing is to tighten the LP connection on the unit before connecting the hose to it. I didn't, and when I went to disconnect it, it spun and would not come off. After a bit I was able to get some needle nose pliers to hold the connector and take the hose off. Then tighten down the connector on the generator with the open ended tool they provide. All in all really impressed with the product and looking forward to using it throughout the summer. Being duel fuel is a great bonus!

All the features you could want

We had a rough start with our generator since the first one could never find its RPM. This one doesn't have that problem and seems to be pretty stable. It's quiet, compact, fuel efficient, and runs on propane and gasoline. The electric and remote start functions are great features to have especially since I travel and don't want my wife to have to be yanking on a pull cord if the power goes out while I'm on the road. After being without power for 3 days due to snow (in south Texas of all places) and hearing predictions of power outages in the summer as well, we weren't going to wait around to see if we needed something.

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!

First start!

Out of the box started first push of start button. Only breaking in period so limited review. Nice features, very quite and love the dual fuel. Digital data display is a big plus. Future model suggestions for Westinghouse to add: oil drain valve and tube, oil changes could be much simpler and not as messy and how about a float drain valve and tube so you don't need to open the side panel every time you turn it off and store. Just suggestion I will probably add myself. I bought two of the 4500DF inverters.

Loaded with Features

I've been watching the generator market for about a year and the iGen4500DF clearly has the competition beat from a feature perspective. Propane capability AND remote start sealed the deal for me. The panel has a built in usage gauge so you can keep track of hours between maintenance. The power output receptables have every use coverred, even for powering our travel trailer.
