Purchased the iGen4500DF by mail order after the latest storm. While the power stayed on I wanted to be prepared in case I'm not so lucky next time. This generator will be used to power the essentials such as the refrigerator, sump pump, and some lights when the next outage hits. The generator came well packaged and it worked right out of the box with no issues. Everything you need to get started, except fuel, is included right in the box. So far I've run it for a few hours on both gas and propane with varying loads and it has handled everything like a champ. The plan is to burn it in for a few more hours, change the oil, then prep it for long term storage so it's ready when needed. It's a little heavy so definitely not "portable" but the wheels and handle make it easy to maneuver and its relatively compact size make it easy to store out of the way in the garage. Much easier to handle than a full sized open frame generator. For its size, this unit cannot be beat!.

Took a while to get in stock and then waited a couple of days and it was out again. Fortunately I received an email notifying me that they were back in stock and ordered right away. I picked it up and setup in pretty short order as I was familiar from researching and watching some of the video on line. Using propane it started on the second try. The engine loped a bit at first but settled down once it warmed up a bit. seemed to handle a load OK I haven't tested it on anything other than a heat gun and some fans. Waiting to get my RV back (if I ever do) from Forest river who've had it for over three months before I can try it on that. Surprisingly quiet, I don't think the videos accurately depict the noise. Mine seems to be much more quiet than what I expected from the videos.

After researching various generators in this power range, I concluded that the iGen4500DF model would suit my needs perfectly. The numerous convenience features, along with an extremely competitive price point, made this the obvious choice. This generator is easy to use, quiet and provides plenty of power for the loads demanded by my travel trailer. I had to wait a few weeks for delivery due to high demand, but it was well worth the wait. I highly recommend this unit.

My generator arrived yesterday. It was well packaged. and shipped without any damage. After adding the oil and fuel I tested out all the features and it performed fantastically! I got this one because of the electric start and remote start features. My wife can now start it up without me having to be there. I also like the fact that it has the built in wheels and handle that extends out to move it about in the garage. It is a bit heavy but weel worth it because of all the features. It has the propane fuel feature as well. I will try that out later but it's good to know I can use an alternate fuel source!! I hope to be using this unit in power outage situations as well. I think it's a great addition to my power needs.

This is generator is pretty good for as small abs quiet as it is. Only reason I didn’t give 5-stars is because it requires me to work on it for it to run properly. The automatic chock wires were disconnected right out of the box and it didn’t run very well with the factory spark plug. However, once those 2 issues were remedied, it’s been great!

We bought this generator to run our RV while camping. It was delivered two days early and started up after the 3rd push start. You have to follow the directions about the oil. It is a beast and quiet considering how big it is. The push start and the option to use propane is great. We love that is has wheels and a bar to pull across the floor. Good buy!

Generator works as advertised, however when I open the box there was oil in the bag it was shipped in. There was motor oil on the bottom of the box and motor oil leaking out of the bottom of the unit. I sent information to Westinghouse support and they answered quickly and told me that this is normal.

Very easy to set up. Starts on first push of button. Runs very smoothly. Doesn’t hesitate when a electrical item is plugged in, continuous power. I needed this to be reliable, I live in a fire zone where power maybe shutoff with high wind to avoid wildfires. This will give me power for basic necessities.

I researched exhaustively and found exactly what I need in my iGen4500DF: dual fuel, inverter, fuel efficiency, and clean sine wave output. Reviews were high and I had to search to find it, but I got it and now I am ready to boondock with my camper or, more importantly, have power during the next ice storm.

I’ve long had a VERY NOISY generator to use as home back up. So noisy that immediately after power is restored if I don’t turn the generator off immediately i get banged with a list of text requests to Please turn it off from neighbors. The unit arrived on time , no damage. Very easy set up and VERY quite comparatively. Starts very easy and I love the built in battery tender.
