I just bought this iGen5000DFc Inverter Generator a few days ago and have since pulled it out of the box and fired it up. It started with no problem and it has all the features I think I will need to weather short term (1-2 weeks) power outages due to hurricanes, freezes and wind storms. Yes - I live in Texas.

I have been looking for over 6 months for a Generator with the features that I needed for my recreational use. I found it with this Generator. Once I received it, I was surprised by the extra little things that came with it. For one a tool kit for the Generator. How often do you get that anymore. It also came with a bottle of Oil and a funnel. The unique thing about the funnel is that it screws into the oil fill, so I had no mess when I added the oil. This unit also has a remote start which is hard to find in a duel fuel model. I followed the quick start instructions and within minutes had it running on Gasoline and then on Propane. Ran as expected and was very quite. Great Job Westinghouse. Will be telling my friends what to get.

I'm a small, older lady. I purchased the iGen 4500 DF. Following the well-written directions, this generator was easy to unbox, move to location with handy trolly handle, add oil, hook up to propane, pair with remote and start to use! If you want quiet, this is your baby! Pushed my budget a little; but the trade offs and dependability of a quality product name are worth it! It's great to know I am covered dealing with the numerous power outages in my rural area.

After ordering this we had to wait almost a month for a backorder to come in but are very satisfied with the Generator now that we have it!! It seems easy to use and after a few hours of low use to break it in, seems to start and run on either propane or gas, the 13500BTU air conditioner on our camper with no problem!! So far, extremely satisified with the product and would recommend it to a friend!

I bought this from Amazon and it came quickly. I opened up all access points and checked it over for loose wires or damage in shipping, found nothing wrong and added the oil. I haven't had any outages since it came, but I ran it for two hours, on gas and on propane, and it ran well, powering a portable heater at different loads. I am a little concerned about draining the oil when the time comes. The manual that came with the generator said to tip the generator to one side with the fill plug out and let it drain back out. That seems like it will get all over the inside of the case. The online manual suggests that there is a small bolt to remove just above the rubber plug in the bottom. That may be better. Time will tell.... Anyway, I am ready for our next power outage.

I was totally shocked that the iGen4500DF truly rose to the occasion when I took it out onto the road and deep into the wilderness with zero access to AC power. It performed exactly as if I was plugged in at an rv park, powering up my air condioner in 100° heat. Only used 50% of it's capacity with the air running and all my gadgets charging at once! Microwave seemed to heat my food up hotter and faster which surprised me even more. The level of sophistication of this smart genarator when it comes to the key fob electric start, and its monitoring display essentially letting you know everything that is going on with your unit while in operation is top notch. It annihilates any and all dummy gensets including my freakishly loud Coleman Powermate. The eco setting keeps it quiet and almost as peaceful as the super pricey Hondas. Hoping for many high powered camping days ahead! Might take forever to be delivered but it's worth the wait...

I bought this unit to run my RV at my off grid camp. My first genset was a 3500 predator. which was under powered at times. I needed more power to run my A/C and other appliances in the summer. I also wanted the L.P. connection, and remote start. the igen 4500 dual fuel fit the bill. also very happy you can buy this unit with out the co monitor, as I keep the genset in an enclosure. plus the handle is very handy. My camp is all grass and this rolls easy on the grass to the enclosure

After initial problem of the automatic choke unplugged it did all it could. My son unscrewed all sides, connected the wiring, watched as the choke worked and it ran fine. We did the long term fix as Westinghouse suggested and then some, completely removing the side not wishing to break it.

I bought this inverter to power my refrigerator and some lighting during power outages. The generator is super quiet, easy to operate and has more than enough power for what I initially wanted to run. I plan to add a few more circuits to my transfer switch given the generator’s capacity. Highly recommend.

I have been looking for a generator for about a month now for our 35ft travel trailer and I am glad I chose this one. Is very quiet for a 4500 watt generator and having the dual fuel option is awesome. Opened the box put oil, fuel and hooked the battery up and woola started right up with no issues. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a generator with multiple starting option and a backup fuel option.
