Runs great, could be easier to maintain

Love the way it runs, smooth and quiet compared to my old Generac. Access to oil fill through access panel is difficult due to tight fit and my hands aren't exactly large. Be careful when adding fuel for the first time - the screen filters will back up the flow if you pour too fast. Other than those growing pains I would recommend the unit.

Solid Generator

Recently purchased after an outage. It was very easy to set up, and instructions were easy to follow. I ran it with propane and in eco mode, it's about as quiet/loud as an idling lawn mower, which is nice. the handle makes it easy to move about, though I am slightly concerned that it has a bit of flex to it. All in all, a nice product.

STARTS easy, quiet,

We purchased this unit to use for outdoor weddings where power is a long distance away or no power at all. We need to provide Music, wireless microphones, laptop computer and some times lighting in remote areas. This unit is quiet enough to put 100' away and no cause a noise problem.

Beefy generator

I bought this generator at the beginning of 2020, used it many times, worked flawlessly. Always ran on propane. There was a recall due to gasoline leakage, and Westinghouse paid to have mine shipped back, and sent me a brand new one. Now the new one, I expect, will be as flawless as the other one. Powers everything on my RV with power to spare. Very happy with it.

Very Quiet

I just needed a generator to power a handful of circuits in my house (fridge, gas furnace, etc...), and this fit the bill. Quiet enough not to bother the neighbors, but enough power for what I need. The dual fuel option is nice to have if necessary. I added oil and it started up first try. I've only run it for a few hours to break it in, but so far very impressed.

Love the remote control

The remote control allows us to shut off the generator from inside our camper, which is a great feature. The generator starts quickly on gasoline, but I haven't been able to get it to cross over to propane yet. Not sure if the issue is the regulator, or operator error since this model is new to me. I'll figure it out and update the review in a couple weeks.

Excellent design!

Purchased this generator to run power to our living quarters horse trailer. The quality is excellent and it purrs like a kitten and quite as a mouse. It powers everything in our trailer with ease. Love the remote start and dual fuel option. Great job Westinghouse!!!

Easy set up but...

Engine oil found on the unit when I removed the plastic. Strap to hold the battery was hard to find. Once I did find it, it was severed during shipping and I was unable to use it which was disappointing. Other than that, we finished running it for the 5 hour break-in period and all seems to be working fine.

Nice Generator

I bought this generator after going without power for several days after a hurricane. It comes nicely packaged with everything needed to get started except a 10 mm wrench for the oil drain plug. The generator is extremely quiet and started up with no hesitation on the first push of the start button. I am still breaking it in on low load (less than 50% load), so can’t really comment on longer life reliability. The only additional comments I have from the initial unpackaging and startup: 1. Great user manual, parts list, etc. and the fact it comes with some tools, oil, and a funnel. 2. The battery strap was not attached on my unit and the battery had flipped around some. 3. It’s kind of difficult gaging the oil level when adding oil since the oil dip stick is on the oil fill plug. Very easy to overfill. 4. The oil drain plug is a little difficult to get to from the oil access panel. 5. The remote start FOB was attached to the pull cord, at first I thought it hadn’t been sent. 6. The battery access panel had come off, but was in the box. 7. Some minor mistakes in the user manual. 8. Overall it appears to be a very nice generator. Extremely quiet for a generator. My wife and I could have a conversation standing next to the generator. 9. The manual says that it also should have included a cable for connecting additional generators, but I didn’t have that cable in the box. All in all, I am pretty happy with it so far. I am running off propane, so I can’t comment on operation with gasoline.

Pretty cool little Inverter-Generator!

I lost power 4 times in 2023. I don't have a big house (1062 SQ.FT) so I started researching what to purchase to run the necessities. I knew that I wanted one that was compact and easy to move around. I went with the iGen4500DF Inverter-Generator for all these reasons plus it got some good reviews. Although I haven't "officially" used it yet, I did complete the "break in" period so I got to see how it starts and runs. The electric start was really great and also the duel fuel. I had it hooked up to a 20lb LP tank and let it run for 4-5 hours. I plugged in different things to see how the control panel worked. It has some really nice bells and whistles on the control panel with gauges, lights and digital displays. Pretty cool machine!
