Predator can’t compete

Bought this and 2 more. Another 5000c and a 1500c. All 3 work flawlessly and I could not be more pleased. Outperforms by neighbors Predator and he paid twice what I did. (Idiot) The dual fuel will be especially useful when gas is scarce because the station have no power to pump it like after the hurricane last year.

Nice product

I purchased my first iGen4500DF a little over a month ago. It arrived and I checked it all over before getting started to be sure nothing was cracked or broken. Everything looked great. I hooked the battery up, put the oil in and filled it with gas. I tried to start it and it would not fire. After several attempts I realized it was not getting fuel. I hooked the propane up and it started right away. I let it run for a few minutes and tried running it on gas again. No luck. I went through the instructions a few times looking for a gas shut off but I couldn’t find anything of assistance. I checked online and found people had problems with the choke so I tried that with no success. I checked the bowl and got fuel. I contacted Westinghouse for help. I was told it was a faulty unit and they provided me with an email to start a claim. After a couple days they sent me another email letting me know I could return the generator to the store before the 30 days was up. I ordered a new one and then returned the first one without issue. The second generator arrived and the box was beat up but the everything inside appeared fine. This time it started on gas and propane without issue. This is a nice generator and runs quiet. I like having the option of gas or propane and feel it was worth the extra money. Overall I think this is a good generator and I understand sometimes even new parts are not manufactured properly. I believe the issue with my first generator was the fuel selector switch but I did not want to get to far into a repair or claim since I was able to return it without issue.

Very Quiet

Came quicker than expected. Instructions could have been a little more clear about connecting the battery. the oil that came with it over filled the unit... but other than that simple to get going. so far it works grate and starts on the first try every time. I plugged in a grinder and it doesn't even bump up the idle when running, I'm pleased. I had a Champion 3100 before .. This is much quieter, I'm very pleased with my purchase.. my only complaint is there is no 12 volt plug or way to direct charge a battery. If it had it I would give it 5 Stars

Love the features

Recently purchased the iGen4500DF for my 30 AMP camper. The dual fuel option is a really great feature which gives you the flexibility of using propane or gas. I plan on hooking up the generator to my camper's rear quick connect hose so I don't have to bring any extra tanks or gas cans. The remote start worked like a charm and will come in handy at night when you need the power and you can remotely turn it off when done. Also, very impressed with the noise levels.

Great portable generator

Received as a gift and happy so far. The size is perfect and it appears to be able to handle all we need when hurricanes hit us. It will not run the whole house but it will save us from losing refrigerated food and allow us to keep some lights and fans going. Very happy with this gift!

Great Features!

Product is a lot quieter than I expected. Love the overall product. I have the iGen4500DF. The only things that don't work well are the on off switch light, wireless start remote and our Propane connection hose regulator broke the second use. Just spews Propane everywhere.

Light weight and quite!

Bought for power outage in south Texas for the hurricane. I run this generator on propane and it is a work horse. I like the eco mode, saves propane. It's light weight with two handles for lifting. Also has an extendable handle for pulling it on its back wheels.

Reliable, easy start, and well made

Well made, well thought out. Manual is excellent including parts break-down, safety and preventative maintenance procedures. Came with everything needed to start using immediately except extension cords: Oil to be added, charged battery, tool kit, battery in remote key fob,etc.

Glad to have dual fuel capability

After our neighborhood suffered a snow/icestorm last month & lost power for nearly 3 days, we had to move to a hotel to keep our elderly 89 year old grandfather & 4 year old kid warm. We are so glad this is now ready for our next outage. I especially like the propane feature, so we don't have to burn gasoline & hopefully require less maintenance.

Great Machine

Just assembled and started after sitting for three months. Fairly easy assembly and simple to follow directions. I bought two - one took two pulls to start and the other only one. Very quiet (running no load for break in period of five hours). Sips gas. Haven't tried propane yet but that's next on my list. It would be nice if there was a way to store the accessories (on board storage, storage bag, etc.) such as the propane line and regulator, tool kit, oil funnel, etc. Overall, very impressed with the capabilities and accessories, especially for the price.
