So far so good!

Have only used it on propane and only for break in purposes. Started on the second try using the auto electric start. Runs beautifully. Have not fully tested under load but did plug a few things in to make sure outlets were working. Have not tested the 30Amp output yet but plan to soon with a travel trailer/AC. Remote start also works perfectly. Runs very quiet with small loads, will see how it does under higher load soon. The main users manual said to pour the entire bottle of included oil in before the first start. It was very clear...THE ENTIRE BOTTLE. I would advise against doing that as it is more oil that the generator has capacity for. I would suggest adding slowly and periodically reinstalling the plug to check the level. It wasn't until after filling that I discovered better instructions in the Quick Start guide which say to add slowly until full. I should have reviewed both sets of instructions before proceeding. They really should change the main users manual to agree with the Quick Start guide. It didn't hurt anything, just made a bit of a mess on the garage floor after removing the included funnel.

Awesome quiet generator

I bought this generator to go boondocking with my travel trailer and tested it for 7 hours to break it in. Super quiet and started up on 2 pulls, and one push of the electric start, and also started on first press of key fob at 50 feet. Recorded the volts as I increased the loads to 50%. Nice digital display for voltage output, fuel remaining, run time. At 109 pounds was still able to lift into the back of my truck.

A Perfect Fit

I purchased this generator two weeks ago for use both on my Travel Trailer and at my home. The iGen4500DF, as the most powerful inverter generator on the market, has the power to start and run all my Travel Trailer appliances and power all the electrical items in my home. The dual-fuel feature is a plus because I am much less likely to run out of fuel with two options. And, I have already learned the convenience of remote electric start for those times when I need power but am not right beside the generator. Well done, Westinghouse!

Wow

Just bought it yesterday. Looks freaking awesome, I did a lot of research prior to buying this. I’m about to live in a 5th wheel full time and wanted something light, quite, and duel fuel. Really wish I could have gotten a 50 amp but too heavy and expensive. This will be able to run anything in the 5th wheel at anytime just not everything at once obviously. Really only going to use it for emergencies. Can’t wait to try it out!!!

Has all the features at just the right price.

I bought the iGen4500DF for two main applications. 1) To power our off grid barn and 2) to power our RV when we are boon docking. It works perfect in both applications. Very quiet in eco mode, the dual fuel lets me run off the propane already carried for our RV, and the remote control start lets me power on the lights before I get in the barn.

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.

Awesome product

I bought the product a year and a half ago and find the product simply perfect. Light, efficient, quiet and compact. Used it for home during Power outage, camping, overnight parking in the lower 48 and the product simply does what it is made for. Remote starter is also an awesome feature, don’t need to get outside to start it and get Power to the rdv.

Great features!

I recently bought the iGen4500DF generator to be prepared for hurricane season in Florida and for camping. I chose this generator after tons of research because I wanted something powerful enough to run 2 refrigerators, fans, and several lights in my house during power outages. I also loved how quiet it is so it’s perfect for any camp site or RV resort. Since it’s an inverter generator it runs at lower rpm’s if you don’t have a lot plugged into it so that means it’ll run quieter under less that full load. Other generators I’ve had were so low I couldn’t take the noise and they weren’t allowed at RV parks. It’s just as quiet as the smaller 2200 generators but has twice the power of needed. I haven’t had it long enough for a long term review but so far I’m really happy with my decision. Very nice machine. I did not have the automatic choke wire issue like I’ve read in other reviews, mine worked perfect out of the box.

Very Reliable so far!

I bought this about a month ago and have only tested it a few times, but so far it is great! Much easier to use than my old pull start. It checked off everything I wanted from a new generator. Dual Fuel, push button start, remote start, inverter, digital load gauge. Because I don't use a generator often, I can use the propane connection and not have to worry about gasoline clogging the carbs up and not being able to start it when I need it.

Fantastically Quiet and Powerful Generator

I've been looking for a generator so we can expand our camping adventures to include boondocking. Many of the places we want to visit are in remote areas and while having electricity is not absolutely essential, it is a nice perk. After considerable research, I decided on the Westinghouse iGen4500DF for all of its features, especially the dual fuel capabilities. It was delivered in a robust box with more than an amble amount of foam packaging. Setup was super easy with the include oil, funnel and quick connect battery. In less than 30mins from unboxing, I had the generator running for a break in period. It fired right up on the first try and after a few seconds (while the automatic choke did its thing) it got very quiet. Then I switched it to eco-mode and couldn't believe that it got even quieter. I called my wife over to take a listen and she couldn't hear it running until she was about 20ft away. We plugged in our RV and began turning on appliances. It handled everything we threw at it including a 15K btu A/C, electric hot water heater, refrigerator, and coffee maker. We were careful not to overload the generator and turned off some equipment before turning something else on. 3700 watts gives us more than enough power to be comfortable when we are dispersed camping. The telescoping handle makes moving the generator a breeze. At a dry weight of 98lbs, this unit isn't exactly light. However, with the long handle, pulling it around isn't a chore.
