Dual Fuel capability in inverter generator

Just received the IGen4500DF after reading many positive reviews and following several power outages in two weeks. Set up was very straightforward and started right up on gasoline... haven't tried LP, but like the option. Time will tell how it performs when necessary as backup.

Nice Generator

Purchased the IGen4500 because of all the features - auto start, dual fuel, remote start. Have not used the propane to run it as of yet, but it runs great on gasoline. Starts very easy with the push button start. Only issue I am having is with the remote start. Does not work. Every once in a while it will shut off the with the remote, but will hardly start it.

user friendly!

very satisfied with purchase...the data info is great, makes staying current on maintenance easy...has been strictly running on propane. runs somewhere over 15 hours at a low/moderate load on a single 20lb. propane tank. i do not miss inhaling gasoline fumes...easy start up. only drawback is a rattle i hear from the muffler contacting the casing. otherwise a solid A.

Easy To Use and Quiet

Recently bought this generator to power my home essentials in the event of a power outage. I haven't been able to fully run it for an extended period of time, but I did give it a test run. It was very easy to get set up and get started up. While running, it is pretty quiet, as well (quieter than a lawnmower).

Loving this generator!! One small issue

Needed a good powerful and fuel efficient generator with a large fuel tank for our travel trailer. It runs everything in our trailer easily. I would purchase this again without hesitation. Only thing I found out the hard way is leaving the battery switch on overnight so I could remote start in the morning. I had a fully charged battery that night and it wouldn't start the next morning. Tried to pull start it since the battery was dead and it would absolutely not start. After much frustration I found out the electric start and pull start depend on the battery which doesn't make much sense with the pull being your backup?? I charged the battery once we got home and it fired up first pull with the pull start. Now I leave the switch off when not using and haven't had any issues.

Very easy set up & easy to use.

We bought this for our camper that is sitting on 19 primitive acres that we purchased. We wanted a generator that met our needs for power supply & was easy to operate. We had another gas powered generator that wouldn't start all weekend, so I did my research & this seemed to be the best option. We have only used it one weekend, but it does everything you need it to do. We are quite happy with our purchase!

Two Problems

Love the generator, but my 2.5 hp air compressor keeps tripping it's own breaker when I try to run it off the generator. Haven't figured out why yet. Works fine from the wall outlet. I apparently pushed too hard on the oil fill cover. The plastic snap broke already. It was about the third time I opened it. I was standing above it and pushed straight down. Apparently it didn't like that. The gen runs smooth and is very quite. Going to try it out on my travel trailer next.

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.

Excellent generator!!

Very happy with the purchase of this generator. I bought it to provide power for our 30 amp travel trailer which it does with power to spare. I've been a general contractor for over 30 years and have used numerous generators during that time and I can honestly say this is the nicest one that I've used. I'll be purchasing a larger model for house backup and will definitely go with Westinghouse.

Very happy with all the features on this generator

I bought this a month ago and extremely pleased with all the features I didn't even know I was getting. Along with this generator running very quietly the details on the actual generator for each feature made it easy to learn how to use it. Highly recommend
