Looks good so far

The unit arrived ahead of schedule by several days however.... they set it in my driveway conveniently infant of the garage door but.... upside down. When opened and removed from the shipping bag there was oil on all the surfaces. HOPEFULLY this is just cosmetic and I know there is usually some residual oil left in the machine. Heavy but rolls easily. Surprised the 30A receptical was not for a locking plug. Used to seeing them on marine applications. Looking forward to starting it up on propane since the house is plumbed for it and has two very large supply tanks.

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.

Feature Rich

The iGen4500DF has all of the features that I was looking for. Just received mine yesterday. It was quick to unpack, connect the battery, add the oil, and started for a test run. No problems on the initial run thru. I especially like the dual fuel option.

Excellent generator, great design EXCEPT oil drain

I unboxed this generator and got it up and running today. It started up easily on LP gas (I didn't put any gasoline in the tank). The noise is pretty low and the power seems to be clean enough for all of my electronics I the house. I ran it for several hours and went to drain the break-in oil. That was when the honeymoon ended. Everything else about this unit is nicely designed and easy to access but the oil drain is terrible. I swore and cursed as I tried to get my fingers on the rubber plug and a wrench on the nearly impossible to access drain plug. Couldn't you have made the oil access door a bit wider? I'm going to be looking for an oil extractor pump for the next time. Aside from this oil drain issue, it's a great little generator.

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!

Good Start

Anymore when you purchase new items it takes a good part of the day to get the item assembled and working correctly. I am so pleased how detailed the instructions, but to the point and how well it was packaged. In less than 30 minutes I had it checked out and started. The Westinghouse Generator is exactly what I was looking for in an emergency generator.

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.

Jtst What is Needed

The iGen4500DF has everything we need to do off road camping in our Black Series HQ19: quiet, dual fuel, RV ready 30amp connection, decent run time, and more than enough power to run the A/C and everything else in remote hot desert environments. But be aware it is a bit of a beast. Heavy but with two sturdy handles for two person load and unload for travel and hookup.

Great Generator

I bought the igen4500DF 20 days ago and am impressed with the quality and features. I have only run it with gas so far, but I'm confident this unit will meet our needs. The left side panel was cracked upon delivery. I was able to contact support easily on a Sunday. The parts department obviously wasn't open an but a case was opened. I am sure this will be resolved quickly.

Quiet!

I purchased 2 weeks ago for my camp trailer with 30 amp plug. Worked very well. Using propane, it ran at just over 25% using the air conditioner. We haul the 24' trailer with a Yukon and did not want to haul gasoline in the trailer or the Yukon since if there was a spill the smell would penetrate and not go away. we are sooo pleased at the quiet use of the IGen4500DF Thanks
