More than a light weight Generator

The feature of dual fuel is highly desirable and the other panel controls are exceptional. At 4500 peak watts, this is a pretty hefty portable generator. Because it is a invertor type it will not harm any of my home appliance electronics if used during a power outage. And it has plenty of power for power tool use at a remote job-site.

Compact and portable.

I love the compact nature of this product; the wheels make it incredibly easy to move around. The dual fuel feature is it especially important; recently during a storm both were in short supply, so being able to switch between the fuel types, made it more certain that we would continue to be able to fuel the generator.

Quality construction

I was totally surprised how easy it was to set this generator up.The set-up directions are clear and easy to under stand. After preparing it for operating with gasoline I was still concerned but a few seconds after i hit the auto button it was purring like a kitten. It is TOPS in quality of Construction, Operation and Appearance.

Great for RV power

I haven't had this long enough for a long time review but in the short time I have used this IGEN 4500 dual fuel I am very pleased with the features it has. I plan on using this with propane exclusively, but like that I can also use it with gasoline. The remote start and shut off is a great feature. This is a quiet generator that kicks up and down smoothly for power demand. Output scale on the front panel is a great feature also. This also works my 3500 BTU A/C unit, fridge if you don't have a propane option, and your hair dryer and curling irons. ( important stuff when dry camping)

Quiet and well engineered

Excellent little generator! Startup could not be easier with the push-button start and auto-choke. Even at full power, the engine is quiet and smooth. The controls show a pretty good estimate on power consumption and run time. I am surprised by how fuel efficient this is. A small amount of fuel runs this generator hours. For storage, I really appreciate the little touches, such as making draining the carburetor bowl easy to drain with the included and already attached tube. This is my third generator and by far the nicest. I bought this as backup power for my home in Texas since our grid is now unreliable. I

Not sure yet

I bought one of the regular gasoline Igen4500 last year and it was absolutely awesome. I just sold it to a friend to buy this Dual fuel model. When I first prepped it and started it, it had a little bit of noise. I thought it may be rod knock. I heat cycled it several times. then ran it at 1/4 load a couple of times and then changed the oil. The oil was silver with metal flakes in it. I ran the new oil for about 30 minutes and changed it again, more metal flakes in it. This was not the normal break in for the first unit I bought. We will see I guess.

Very solid machine

Bought this unit for my travel trailer and home emergencies. The unit feels very solid and well built. It's noise level is better than I expected. I like all of the features and the meter display is nice, so there's no guessing when to change the oil and other routine services. Very complete package with great manuals. Haven't taken it boon-docking yet and I'm excited to use it Great warranty compared to other makes.

Just what we needed

Product arrived damage free. Quick start instructions were clear and easy to follow. Set the device up on propane and had it up and running in a short time. I can’t believe how quiet this generator is, you can stand beside and talk … at normal levels …. Amazing. Lots of info available via the Digital display concerning, fuel levels, operating info and output info as well. We had actually made this decision on this generator last year but they were out of stock, so we decided to wait.....So Glad we Did. Absolutely a Great purchase. Always true with Westinghouse products.

Love this generator!

I've been looking for one of these for months but everyone is out of stock. Finally found it and bought immediately based on reviews, glad i did. Super quiet compared to my previous Champion I returned due to noise level. Plenty of power, great features, runs everything at once on our 23' Nash trailer, exactly what i wanted. The remote start is a bonus in the cold mornings. No issues with delivery or condition other than some kind of silicone grease on everything in the wrapper. Hoping for many years of service.

All the features I needed

Dual fuel with remote start are excellent features. With push button start and full of useful gauges. This is going to be used at a Fire Academy for smoke machines and lights. Being able to shut it down remotely during a class discussion is a real plus. And quiet too.
