Extremely happy.

I have had my iGEN4500DF for a little over a year now. I have used it with both gasoline and propane and have never had a problem with either. I have never used the pull rope to start it as it has always started with the push button or remote fob. It is quite portable, and very quiet. It powers everything I need in the event of a power outage. I am extremely satisfied with the product.

Quiet and good instrumentation.

I ordered this generator in May 2020 and received it November 2, 2020. I waited as I felt this generator had more features and quality then all of the others I reviewed. Quietest in its category, has duel fuel which I preferred, and has good human factors for moving and using.

Has it all

I recently purchased this generator because it had all the features I wanted; remote, dual fuel, eco-mode, quiet, but plenty of power for the travel trailer. Only giving it four stars for now because I haven't actually used it other than just starting it up. Excited to get out and use it for the upcoming hunting trip!

Great features for the price and quiet

Just received this generator. It was obvious that someone dropped it somewhere but the packaging was good enough to protect it in shipping with no visible damage. Clear instructions and got everything you need to get going. I did find a couple of loose nuts in the case which I can't find where they could come from even after I removed all the panels I can remove. The unit is just in break in period but it is definitely one of the quietest inverter generator. Hopefully the nuts I found are just extra...

Provides power we needed during long power outage

Powered two fridges, internet modem, a couple lights and then periodic comfort items such as an espresso machine (it felt that one!), toaster, heater, Xbox, and a tv (not all at once of course). While no generator is super fuel efficient, this one is SIGNIFICANTLY more fuel efficient and much much quieter than our neighbors tradition generator. Would definitely buy again!

Awesome!

This is our 1st generator and I couldn't be happier with my purchase so far. Super easy to setup (I'm using Propane) and starting the unit couldn't be any easier than pushing a button! Much quieter than I expected which is another plus. Plan on building it a small generator shed and hooking it up to a 6 circuit transfer panel in the garage in case the next ice storm causes us issues. Now I may never loose power again not that I finally have a generator but that's perfectly ok with me.

Dual fuel is great

iGen4500DF purchased June 2021. It's great being able to run on propane, I prefer carrying an extra propane tank rather than gasoline. As a side bonus, the exhaust smell on propane is much less unpleasant than when running on gasoline. Switching between gas and propane is seamless. As expected based on the power rating, no problems starting/running 13.5k BTU a/c. I also own a Yamaha EF3000iSEB. The Westinghouse is about 50lbs lighter and is much easier to move with the pull-out handle. Both generators show the same noise spectrum within a couple of dB (simple phone app), but my ears say the Yamaha has a 'smoother' sound while the Westinghouse has more of an engine 'puttering' sound. Although I prefer the Yamaha noise, the propane capability and lighter weight of the Westinghouse is worth it to me. HOWEVER, I did have the widespread problem where the automatic choke connector was not snapped into the control board. It's just bizzare how they can't get this under control after it's been going on for so long. Annoying but not hard to correct.

So Far So Good

Set up was easy. Don't forget to oil air filter. Only issue I had with initial setup was adding nearly all of the supplied oil overfilled the oil pan and leaked out, and because of that, overflowed a bit while running. My next biggest issue of the day was taking off the side access panel. It's easy enough with some initial force, but it would have been nice if it was toolless (which is the reason for 4, not 5, stars). I ran it for 5 hours with variable loads. It ran my smoker and provided a meal for the evening. It was nice and quiet, too. Overall, for the one day, it was a worthwhile investment. I'll be updating my review if anything changes.

I finally got it!!!

I have been waiting months for this generator to get here. We have friends that we camp with that have this generator and it is wonderful. It is quiet, starts every time and runs on propane. The propane is so much less trouble, and runs cleaner. We go deer hunting and the remote start is a blessing first thing in the morning when it’s raining and cold. I just can’t say enough good things about this camper ready generator. We just love it.

iGen4500 new addition

I tried to start it for the first time and I was not able to turn it on quickly. I decided to manual hand crank it and it turn on immediately. After 1 run, I was able to turn on using the remote control and the easy push button. It is very easy to set and start. It runs very silently in comparison to others inverters and generators. I will still testing it but for now it is Highly recommended.
