Compact and lightweight, quiet generator

Just received my Westinghouse iGen4500DFc. I’ve just got it through the break in period and it’s the smartest purchase I’ve made. Super Low Sound, powers my whole trailer and is super efficient on Propane. The digital screen and remote start is such a huge bonus compared to other brands. Big enough to make great power yet small enough to pack around by yourself. Worth every dime.

Hot Rod Generator

This genny had all the features I wanted and then some. I think the igen4500DF had some drawbacks at first: people reported choke problems, gummed up carb, some other starting issues but I think Westinghouse got it sorted out because mine arrived and after following the instructions for setup it started second time on propane and ran great. All features are functional and the thing is soooo quiet.

Nice compact unit with easy to operate controls.

After researching portable inverter/generator models on a few independent consumer sites, and based on their ratings, we made the decision to purchase the iGen4500DF generator in November of 2024. We wanted something compact to use for temporary backup of essential appliances in the event of a power outage. We also intend to use it to power an RV at un-serviced campsites. The unit started and ran flawlessly from initial start-up, and through the break-in period, cycling from gasoline to propane, and back to gasoline several times over the recommended 5-hour initial break-in run. Electrical appliances were cycled during break-in varying generator output from 25% - 50%. At the end of the break-in cycle an additional appliance was added increasing power output to 90%. In all cases the generator governed the engine rpm smoothly throughout the electrical load variations. The unit is well designed with robust body panels, and the control panel is nicely laid out and easy to understand. The handles to lift the generator are well designed allowing the unit to be lifted while wearing thick gloves. The retractable handle for moving the unit on its wheels is also a nice feature (easier on the back). I was able to stop and start the unit with the remote from 60 ft with no issue. I didn't try any further than 100 ft, but I don't have any reason to believe that it wouldn't work further away that that. The unit is nice and quiet, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable compact inverter/generator with good power output.

Started right up.

I ordered this generator last week. It was delivered upside down. I immediately unboxed and went through the start up process and it started on first try. I have not had an opportunity to run with anything connected but it was quieter than expected and I am Satisfied with my purchase.

Easy operation!

This is a nice unit. Easy to set up and operate. The dual fuel costs more than single fuel, but it is nice to have. Runs well on propane. The unit makes less noise than most generators. Less noise than gasoline lawnmowers and a bit more noise than a lawn aerator. Our next door neighbor said they could not hear it and we could barely hear it inside our house.

Just what I needed!

I was wanting a dual fuel generator to give some flexibility while camping and this one fit the bill perfectly! It arrived in great shape, after reading the quick start instructions/ adding engine oil and fuel it fired up on the first try. Very happy and satisfied.

Easy set-up

Just got my new generator. Wow. Very easy instructions on how to set up. Everything included so I could test right away. Started immediately with all three methods (push button, fob, and pull start) using either the gas or propane as fuel source. Very quiet. Easy to transport using handle. Love gauges to let you know how much fuel, voltage, etc.

Very Nice

We just bought this generator, and are very pleased, it is a big one and the plug in choices are just what we need, we just lost power with hurricane Helena and were with out power for 4 days, this generator will support us in our needs, no more spoiled food or uncomfortable feelings, big enough for us
