Received the iGen4500DF today, unpacked it and got it started. Setup was a cinch and the unit started as advertised. Started initially with the remote, then by the manual start button and then manually with the cord. All started flawlessly. Ran it for about 15 minutes, plugging in small units to see if they worked. All went fine. Giving a 4 Stars for now. Will provide a review again after the 1st oil change. Based on what I've experienced so far, I anticipate a 5 Star rating

The Westinghouse iGen4500 is an excellent inverter generator with about twice the power of most inverter models. It is exceptionally quiet, very portable and very user-friendly making this a smart choice for when you need more power but don’t want to give up on silence and portability. Monitoring of the iGen4500DF's status and activity is made possible by a digital data center, which provides information on the remaining run time, power output, fuel level, lifetime run hours and voltage and is one of the main features that will help with monitoring operation and maintenance scheduling. The dual fuel feature allows for real life options in an emergency or planned usage for portable power. My usage will be as a homeowner in need of emergency backup power for my essential loads. Setup and initial operation was simple and straight forward, due to the excellent documentation that was obviously written by competent Westinghouse engineers. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this generator just prior to my most recent hurricane knowing that I would not receive it in time for the upcoming storm. Fool me twice (or three times?) LOL. Lost power for 10 days plus last year. This unit is versatile and includes dual fuel sources. I anticipate needing it again in the future but have not needed it yet. Love that it is compact and has wheels and an extension handle.

This generator gives the customer the option of operating it with either gasoline or propane gas which is a great feature. Easy push button or remote start for the ladies! Should be a great piece of equipment to get us Floridians thru the upcoming hurricane season. Great for those of you in the northeast during the winter months for snow and ice storms when power goes out.

It has not only met but truly exceeded my expectations. This unit has proven itself to be a remarkably reliable power solution during the hurricane season. When the Westinghouse iGen5000DF dual fuel inverter generator arrived, the box itself was a bit dinged up, which was a minor concern at first. However, once unpacked and set up, it was perfectly fine and has consistently performed as expected. I haven't noticed any power surges or irregularities. It just reliably puts out the power it's rated for. The dual-fuel capability is great because it’s hard to get gas when the hurricanes are heading our way. The controls are intuitive enough. I've also been impressed by its noise level; it runs noticeably quieter than some other units I've encountered in the past. All in all, the Westinghouse iGen5000DF has been a dependable piece of equipment. It simply works, providing consistent, relatively quiet power, and the dual-fuel feature is a real bonus for practical use. It ran our fridge, fans, some lights, air fryer and charged our phones at the same time.

Recently purchased a Wildwood FSX 163RDSK and the iGen4500 is plenty of power with most appliances, pumps, and load on… even when the AC surge occurs. Sound Db is a bit higher than expected with eco off — needed for AC surge. During cooler weather, eco mode is much more quiet. It’s probably overkill for trips without AC, but nice to have the option for unexpected southern weather changes! Unit arrived with battery drained and initial start with pull cord was a no-go. So if it has trouble starting from arrival, plug in the unit to charge the battery for a few hours. Even then it took 2 starter cycles for it to kick in. From the on, it has started right away… pull cord, button and remote. Recommend.

I use this gen for off grid battery charging. The remote start and electric choke means I can remotely press 1 button to startup the gen. For non-line of sight, I also use a SwitchBot which lets me physically press the Start button from anywhere in the world. Again, the electric choke is the critical feature. Lots of units have a pushbutton electric starter, but you still have to operate the manual choke. And of course, this inverter is nice and quiet. Very nice for our location out in the forest.

Only generator in its class, dual fuel and remote start! One some of the complains other have had, my plug was installed correctly and I did not have any issues with choke not working. Shipping was quick. Over all I am very happy, have about 40 hours on the unit so so far with no issues. I use propane only, the generator does lope a little when pulling low watts but I am starting to think it’s the propane tank because it does not always happen. Unit is also very quite and the power flow is very stable. I have a gauge in the camper and with old gen it use to bounce around with this one it holds steady. Time will tell for reliability.

The generators is replacing my WIN 11000 in my 36’ Diesel pusher (motorhome). Storm blew through in Dallas. I had to use my wind generator higher my house while it was installed in the motorhome so I bought this Westinghouse and move the WIN for back up power for my home. Have not done the 25 run hour oil change. I hadn’t even installed har in the motorhome yet. We’re working on that now. 8/12/24

I have two other larger generators, but they are loud and have horrible harmonic distortion. That means the power being produced is "dirty." The Westinghouse iGen4500DF produces great clean power. I started the generator using propane, to start the genetator couldn't be easier. After adding the oil. I connected a propane tank with the included hose and regulator, turned the unit on and then pushed the start button. It was like pushing a push button the start your car! It started up and it was so QUIET. I added a couple of space heaters, it automatically increased RPMs to handle the load. It actually shows what percentage of available watts are be used. So many great features my other units don't have. Now I did read some reviews that talk about the auto choke not operating properly, not so with my unit. Bottom line: highly impressed with the unit and highly recommended.
