Easy set up, first impression

Just unboxed and test started iGen4500DF. Easy assembly, hooked up to propane and started easily. Remote start works great from inside the house. Amazed how quiet it is. Cannot give much more of a review because this is a purchase I hope to not have to use any time soon (bought for emergency use only).

My iGen4500DF

I have a Westinghouse open frame 7500 watt generator. I bought the iGen4500 because it is rated to be much quieter than my open frame generator and has low THD for sensitive electronic products. Have run the iGen a couple times for very short periods. It is much quieter than my open frame. Let's wait and see how it operates when we have a power outage.

Great generator.

Easy to start, not too big, not very noisy, dual fuel, and comes with a regulator so I can use propane. Just what I was looking for! I'm glad it has both a handle and wheels. At 105 lb, out of the box, It's too heavy for one person to easily pick up.

Dual Fuel

I selected this generator because it had a pretty high capacity for an inverter style generator that is more efficient and quieter than the non inverter generators. I liked the fact that it is dual fuel and can be setup for a natural gas connection with a slight modification. I will eventually be setting up a transfer switch in my house to make an easier transition when using the generator. I have not used the generator yet, but will be ready when I need it.

Quiet And Powerful

I have only had this generator for a week and am so glad I purchased this quiet beast. Easy to start (just push a button!), Easy to move around (and it comes with the wheels telescoping handle already on) and is not too heavy. Just plug in the battery, add oil and gas or propane, and you are good to go. For the most part, I will be using the RV outlet (TT-30R); it also has two 15/20 amp outlets and two usb outlets. It is great on gas and being an inverter only uses what is needed for what you are powering. No problem running a heater or air conditioner, or just a few lights in my trailer. This generator is so quiet you know it is on because your lights or heater is on and not because you hear it running. I really like the date display that lets me knows my voltage, hours of use, running time left. This West. iGen 4500DF is well worth its cost.

135 Years of Awesomeness - led to the iGEN4500DF

Hands down an AWESOME Inverter/Gen designed perfectly for the RV Camping world or doing chores around the house. This unit is loaded with features that are appreciated. Push button start, remote start, recoil start never leaves you in a position to get this unit up and running. Serves our purpose well and keeps our Flagstaff up and running with plenty of QUIET power. Thank you Westinghouse for an awesome product.

Quiet smooth starts easy

Have only run the break in on unit but varied load up too 3000 watts for short time periods will run everything in rv is very quiet and can use propane or gas. Plan on using on rv and for power outage at home so far so good mine did not have the choke problem so they must have got that fixed had plenty of wire and good connectors.

Great features & well designed

I replaced my 15yr old modified-sine wave generator with this one. It is much quieter, more efficient, and the duel fuel source means less trips to the gas station during extended outages. The auto start is nice to have with the pull start as a backup.

Met all my lofty expectations

This is the quietest generator I've ever been around, even with a metal lean-to roof overhead and a few feet from a wall on one side and a fence on the other. I've used it only with propane so far, for which it ran great. Changing the oil mildly annoying since it's in an enclosed space but that's just the way these closed frame generators are. I would buy a second one if I have a need for another in the future.

It Works Like a Charm

This is my first experience using a generator. The instructions were clear and the appliances we need to run during a power outage all run just fine without straining this power output. Having this generator adds another layer of safety to our household. The only design flaw I found was that one has to unscrew the oil funnel, screw in and unscrew the cap to check the levels - kind of messy. I can't think of a better solution though, and it's a small inconvenience.
