So far so good

After 3 PGE-mandated power outages in 6 weeks, I bought the generator for my home. It is more than enough power to keep the TV, fridge, a couple of lights, microwave, coffee pot, internet, etc., going during the day. It is quiet relative to other generators I hear in my neighborhood, and I liked the idea of propane as it is easy to access and requires less maintenance than gas. It was easy to set up. The LED readout does not seem to be tracking running hours -- displays "F00" which does not correlate to the manual.

Great Features

Recently purchased this item from Lowe's. Had it shipped to the store. Only took 2 days to arrive. Took it home, drained the carburator bulb which was basically empty. I only plan on using propane. Added oil, connected battery plug, connected propane and it fired right up. Quiet as advertised.

Awesome product at a great price

With rolling blackouts expected in California due to the severe drought we are having. I picked up this generate to keep it on hand just in case we how a brownout. So far I ran a few good tests with it and it way better and quieter than I was expecting. I'm very pleased with the product and over-all performance it provides. I'm planning on having a transfer swatch added to the house to make this generator setup a fast hookup.

Best Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator on the market!

I purchased this product as a power back-up during storms, tailgating and for the ability to run my travel trailer AC unit while dry camping. For it's small size and portability, this generator keeps our trailer cool in the hot summers while providing power to all of our electrical needs. I didn't give it much consideration when I purchased this unit, but the remote start that's included is one of my most favorite features. I was surprised how often I would be starting and stopping my generator which makes it extremely handy. Having the ability to power the generator using gas or propane was essential for my needs since I always have one or the other fuel source on-hand. Westinghouse customer service is outstanding and stands behind their products 100%. I will be purchasing more products from them in the future and would encourage others to do the same.

Impressive First Run...

We experienced a 20 hour power outtage 2 days before Christmas, so I vowed to take the plunge and make sure were were never without power again. We received the unit much sooner than expected. I prepared the unit and gave it a good 5 hour "Break-in", varying the load as required. Nice, quiet, smooth running engine. It performed flawlessly as it did its job. Now 'm almost hoping for a power outtage.

Excellent Generator

I just bought this generator for camping. My plan is to only operate it on propane unless otherwise necessary. I added the required oil, connected the battery, attached the propane source and it immediately started up. It ran excellent under load.

High quality

I did a lot of research to find the right mix of features and quality in an inverter generator. The iGen 4500 DF fit the bill exactly. The balance of features to price made it a high value purchase. I have a lot of newer refrigerators that need the low THD to protect them from electrical damage. And I have a lot of food in them that I do not want to spoil. I am breaking it in as I write this review and everything is going perfectly. I do not expect any issues in the future.

Great Unit

We purchased two inverters so we could lpower our 5th wheel. Both fired up right away and ran very quietly. We did overfill the oil reservoir on the first unit, since it did not take .6 quarts. We also purchased the combiningunit which has color coded leads which the iGen4500DF does not. Two minor issues, and we look forward to many col or warm (heater or AC) days out in the wilds.

Easy Start

Purchased this for remote camping and power outages. I love the push button and remote start features. It starts right up in less than 2 seconds. It's a quiet generator. You can still have a conversation without shouting, even when it is only a few feet away.
