Great Features

I just received my IGEN4500DF today followed prestart instructions filled with oil connected battery and propane unit fired right up no issues. Connected to my travel trailer tested the AC my no problem starting up my 15,000 btu unit. My main reason for buying this unit was the key fob remote and propane options. However this unit has become very popular so if you want one get it while they are in stock and shop around for the best price.

Quiet, powerful, clean

I bought this to take camping after renting generators for way too much $$ from the trailer folks that we have been renting trailers from. After doing lots of research on generator types, the difference between inverters and regular generators etc., I decided to purchase this bad boy. It's AWESOME. Our camping companions were jealous of how easily it starts, how much juice it puts out ON DEMAND, and how quiet it is. I ran it on Eco Mode the whole time and never once smelled any exhaust. All the while it clicked on with the push of a button whenever we wanted the AC, microwave, TV, or air compressor.

Love it

I bought the generator in July to prepare for an outage. Lost electricity in August so had to put to use. It is a great product! Directions straight forward. I am outside hearing my neighors gens, but this one is easy to start and for a generator, pretty quiet. Love the remote start!

Started right up

I saw many reviews about issues with the choke and starting, so I crossed my fingers when I pushed the start button, but was pleased when the unit started up immediately. I ran it on both gas and propane. Running in ECO mode worked fine, with the unit adjusting according to load. The only problem I had was during setup where the battery hold down strap was lodged back by the oil filler location as you can see in the photos. After I fished it out it was a real chore to get the battery strapped down. The battery location and access are very poor design, no thought to maintenance. I have large hands and it was quite a job to get that strap connected. Anyway, so far so good. The real test will be when we have an outage.

Met expectations

I received it today and performed the pre start up. I ran it on propane for a while and had to call my wife outside. It is WAY quieter than our old one. We were talking without raising our voices. I was blown away that it actually came with a remote control that can turn it ON and OFF. But what excites me the most of it all comes from my struggles with my last generator. This generator comes with a hose that is attached to the carburetor, with a small valve, so I can drain the bowl for long storage. Ethanol gas is hard on fuel lines when it's left sitting too long.

A Perfect Fit

I purchased this generator two weeks ago for use both on my Travel Trailer and at my home. The iGen4500DF, as the most powerful inverter generator on the market, has the power to start and run all my Travel Trailer appliances and power all the electrical items in my home. The dual-fuel feature is a plus because I am much less likely to run out of fuel with two options. And, I have already learned the convenience of remote electric start for those times when I need power but am not right beside the generator. Well done, Westinghouse!

Perfect for our Livingquarters Horsetrailer

Starts easy, runs very quiet, no problems with running our AC, fridge, microwave, hot-water-heater, water-pump and lights all at the same time! Remote works from inside of the trailer which is very convenient. I wish it was not as heavy as it is, but pulling it on the wheels is easy. Lifting it in the truck or trailer will take 2 of us (mother-daughter-team)

Fantastic generator!

I’m so glad I purchased this Westinghouse generator! It’s easy to start, provides great power with 30 amps 120 volt which is all I need since all of my home utilities are natural gas. I can get by with no oven and clothes dryer during a power outage. This keeps the lights on, hot water since it’s gas and even furnace that is gas. Nice and quiet and easy to move around, great for emergency backup.
