An impressive piece of equipment

Purchased a little over a week ago and over the last couple of afternoons I ran the generator to accumulate the five hours of break in time appying different loads being careful not to exceed a fifty percent load as suggested by Westinghouse. I am currently using gasoline to fuel the generator. The first time I started it I used the pullcord as I was curious to see how easy it would start using the manual labor method. The temp was 35 degrees F and it started up on the second pull. Very smooth running and pretty quite. I like information so I am in love with the data center. One of the readouts available is the amount of run time left with the current load on the generator. If I plug in another device and increase the load the readout will update to show the new run time left with the increased load. I also like that the carburator came with a drain hose attached and a drain screw to faccillitate draining the carb. A thoughtful feature. The owner's manual is well written with lots of drawings, nice. The battery was door was popped off and the battery out of its tray when I opened the shipping carton. The attachment points where the battery hold down strap attaches to the generator plastic housing is very minimal. It takes very little pressure for the strap to become unattached. As others have mentioned Westinghouse missed the mark when it comes to draining the oil. If they were to enlarge the access door opening just a little on the left side it would go a long way in making the drainplug more easily accessable. All in all an impressive machine loaded with practical features.

Just Purchased for Hurricane Helene

Started up without a hitch. Good documentation and quick start guide. Nice and compact for its power. Still heavy 150lbs, need 2 men to lift into the back of a pickup. On the ground handle and wheels work great to move it around. Ran 2 refrigerators . lights , and charging stations.

Ample Power

Just picked up today, great features and plenty of quiet power for the money. I purchased as an emergency backup power source. I was using a 2000 watt that struggled to power 2 refrigerators, freezer, tv, lights and computer and phone chargers. the igen4500df will handle all that and more. Solid build with many features. And I can use propane or gas, very happy with this unit

IGEN4500DF

This item arrived in excellent condition. Set up instructions are easily followed and everything is as advertised. I tested it with a small air compressor first and it worked fine. I have plugged in our small RV trailer and everything works just fine. The built in wheel/handle combination for pulling it around is an excellent touch and necessary. I am very happy with this purchase

Phenomenal Generator

When I ordered this generator it was on backorder and I waited several months for it to arrive. It was well worth the wait and has exceed all my expectations. We had a bad ice storm in February and was without power for a week. This generator easily provided power for all my appliances I needed in the house. I was amazed on how long it runs on a tank of gas or propane with a good load on it. I love all the features with my favorite being the dual fuel capability. I've also taken it camping on numerous occasions and all my friends were so impressed with all its features and how quiet it ran. Two of my friends purchased one as soon as they returned home. Westinghouse hit a grand slam with this outstanding generator. So many features for an amazing price.

Solid Performer

I tested this unit with propane and I was pleased. Quick start and ease of maneuvering with the extendable handle are very nice. I like the economy switch allowing the generator to adjust itself to the load. I connected it to a 1500 watt oil heater and adjusted its settings and I could hear the generator adjusting its power. The remote control key fob is a nice feature also.

Finally a Dual Fuel Inverter Generator!

I have searched the internet for a dual fuel Generator for my RV and to use around my home and other projects on my land that would require this size generator. This Westinghouse 4500DF fit exactly what i needed. I did the pre-start up service and attached a propane bottle and it started right up. I tested it out on a large electric jackhammer and it performed as intended. Happy to have this generator!

Great craftsmanship

I purchased the iGen4500DF and can’t say enough great things about it. Quality of the generator is great. Love the full enclosure of this product - overall a clean look. Runs quietly even when being pushed to its max outputs. Would highly recommend this to anyone considering a portable and powerful generator.

Excelent Features

I bought this generator as a backup during outages. The generator seems to be stable with no tension fluctuation. The noise is extremely low: it is possible to even talk close to the generator. The only issue that I have: it is too difficult to remove the old oil, when you are changing the engine oil.
