Good Generator

Bought this unit for its features (specifically: dual fuel and the inverter) and so far I am quite happy with it. Using it to power my house (minus all the 240 V appliances) and it seems to be more than adequate for this purpose Typically using about 700W (it's a small home). We have had one four hour power outage during which it was put to use but I am firing it up every weekend for a short period of time just to ensure it is in good running order. Highly recommended!

Economical Generator for Multiple Features Offered

Westinghouse provided excellent documentation (i.e. Operator’s Manual, Suggested Maintenance Schedule, Troubleshooting Guide, Detailed Parts Lists, Electrical Schematic) for their iGen4500DF Inverter Generator. Mine started just fine using the remote key fob and LP Gas as its fuel source.

First Impressions are Good.

Handles on top of frame work great for team lifting. It is not very loud. All controllers are easy to use. It also comes with a battery tender. Handle and wheels are nice for moving unit. Only draw back is I wanted to run this off my travel trailers propane tanks. I cant hook it into my existing system do to the design of the hook up on the generator hose. It requires a separate tank. If that is not important to you then it is a 5 star unit. Out of all the dual fuel units out there I would still buy this one over the others i looked at,

Quick and easy starting process

I bought this generator for use with our RV trailer. Generator powered up all our most important appliances with amps to spare. Easy start up process instructions. Didn't take long to test after unboxing it and prepping generator to start it and turn it on. Glad I bought it.

Very powerful, very quiet

I have owned the igen 5000 DFC for about 2 weeks now. I have run it for about 3 to 4 hours under various light loads. It says to run for about 5 hours under 50% load so I do not know how much load it will handle but it seems to be doing well. I plan on only running this generator on propane. It started the very first time I hooked up the propane. I have started it with the remote start, the pool start, and the push button start. All worked flawlessly. This is the second Westinghouse generator that I have owned. Hopefully this one works as well as the last. It is a little large and a little heavy but it will power everything in my fifth wheel without a problem. Including the air conditioner. I would highly recommend this product.

Outstanding build quality, great value-for-money

As an off-grid techie, I have bought several generators over the years and this one is both the most solidly built and the most full-featured unit I have yet found. The lack-of-rattle and smooth throttle control contribute to such quietude that my wife considers the low rumble a sleep aid--and I have no doubt these qualities will also contribute to a long, trouble-free lifespan. As someone who lives+works on high playa, I especially prize their attention to high-altitude performance upgrades for _both_ fuels and the remote+electronic start options; besting Honda, Yamaha, and Champion, Westinghouse earned a loyal customer with this one.

Fantastic Machine

I was hesitant to purchase a lesser name in generators, but through the testing and performance, its hands down the best generator investment I have made. Dual Fuel, Remote Start, Inverter, Quieter than Hondas, RV ready. I could not ask for a better investment for an energy backup.

Fantastic overall design & engineering

I have not been running the generator long but so far so good. Where I’m most impressed so far is the great design and engineering. The control panel is packed with all the details you need and the many handles and wheels make it so simple to maneuver. I look forward to returning for more insight into the long-term performance as I get more hours logged, but very happy so far!

Great Generator

I bought the IGen5000DF recently. I haven't had need to use it yet, but it had everything I wanted as a small back up. It is light enough that I can take it with me when we go camping, but has enough power to use to keep the important things running in my house if need be.

First start!

Out of the box started first push of start button. Only breaking in period so limited review. Nice features, very quite and love the dual fuel. Digital data display is a big plus. Future model suggestions for Westinghouse to add: oil drain valve and tube, oil changes could be much simpler and not as messy and how about a float drain valve and tube so you don’t need to open the side panel every time you turn it off and store. Just suggestion I will probably add myself. I bought two of the 4500DF inverters.
