First Impressions are Good.

Handles on top of frame work great for team lifting. It is not very loud. All controllers are easy to use. It also comes with a battery tender. Handle and wheels are nice for moving unit. Only draw back is I wanted to run this off my travel trailers propane tanks. I cant hook it into my existing system do to the design of the hook up on the generator hose. It requires a separate tank. If that is not important to you then it is a 5 star unit. Out of all the dual fuel units out there I would still buy this one over the others i looked at,

iGen5000DFc Inverter Generator

We purchased this unit to replace our older Non-Inverter Generator. Our new central heating unit has a brain (computer) control board and requires clean power whereas the old unit did not. We will also be capable of keeping our refrigeration units, computer, digital telephones, and a home oxygen unit powered as needed. The dual fuel option is a great backup as well. With power outages becoming more often and longer durations this unit is what we need when we need it to support todays technology in power outages and nothing can replace peace of mind.

Dual Fuel capability in inverter generator

Just received the IGen4500DF after reading many positive reviews and following several power outages in two weeks. Set up was very straightforward and started right up on gasoline... haven't tried LP, but like the option. Time will tell how it performs when necessary as backup.

Very Nice Product

Purchased this generator for home outages due to weather (sub-tropical hurricane territory). I received the generator 06/09, and did an immediate inspection. All looked good. Did another look 06/10 while I read the manual to learn my way around the unit. Very straightforward for maintenance and repair. Put oil in it, and fired it up. Ran perfectly and really quiet! With proper maintenance, this generator should last me for many years.

Little Powerhouse

This unit is perfect for our 21' travel trailer. Operates all appliances including AC, it's as quiet as you could hope for. It of course makes noise, but seems acceptable to neighbors. I really enjoy the remote start and the weight is certainly manageable for a 65 year old :)

Duel, fuel inverter generator

This dual fuel generation is awesome and worked like a charm every time, the only time it didn’t was operator error I forgot to switch it from gas to propane. The push/ start button is great but the key fob starter is the ticket! The only con is it’s weight, taking in and out of the back of my truck is a chore, so I try keeping it near empty to avoid lifting that weight from 3.5 gallons of gas in the tank, the wheels and extending handle make it easy to move around even on uneven ground.

DISCONNECTED choke wire

I picked up the generator from the supply store and noticed that it was running rough. So I checked the auto choke wire issue I found on YouTube. I pulled a bunch of screws off and reconnected the little wire to the back of the control panel and it works fine now. I love the duel fuel option and am very happy with the generator. It will be powering my entire house along with the reliance controls interface box which is wired into the panel of the house.

The features I was looking for

I just received my 4500 dual fuel generator, that I purchased for my Fifth wheel RV. It has the features I was looking for, including dual fuel, 30 amp plug, and enough amperage to run air conditioners and more. I unboxed the unit, filled it with oil, hooked up the battery and started it on LP, using the remote control. It started right away and ran properly. I have not yet tested the output or used the unit, but I looking forward to giving it a try. I gave this 4 stars, only because I have not used it in working conditions.

Couldn’t be happier!

My Westinghouse iGen4500DF generator arrived today and I couldn’t be happier. I unboxed the generator and was so pleased that after following the simple to follow instructions I was rewarded with what was truly a “plug and play” setup. All it took was a simple push of the remote start button and the generator started easily and purred like a kitten. I was further pleasantly surprised by the quietness of the generator. Can’t wait to give it a test run during our next power outage.

Easy to use, so quiet

Purchased unit on sale 3 weeks ago and just getting around to adding oil, connecting fuel (propane) and starting the generator. The included instruction manual is quite detailed, useful, and important to follow. (I did find however that the "Quick Start Guide" while helpful, forgot an early key step of attaching the battery'; beware). The unit started easily after all the setup steps were completed. Started sequentially with the push button, the key fob and via manual cord pull. All approaches worked easily. The generator runs so quietly compared to my old Briggs gasoline-powered 5000W non-inverter unit. I think I will really like this system. It will be used for house backup power during power outages.
