We bought this model based on customer video reviews and actual tests that customers put on this model. It lived up to those test on numerous trips thus far. The actual low dB was pretty impressive and the ability to run so many items on a 30 Amp has been great. We have experienced the same choke issue mentioned by a few customers and the corrective actions are fairly straight forward. Hopefully that won’t discourage folks from one of these inverter models. The actual runtime was incredible for us. 3.5gal ran the 15k ac off and on all night, two CPAPS and an oscillating fan for over 8.7hrs…used only 45% of the gas…propane is expected to go longer. The display of info is great.

My purchase of the Westinghouse igen 4500DFc on July 4, 2022 was a good decision. Something, aside from the fact Westinghouse invented and perfected ac electricity generation, felt right when i viewed this model. The brand adds authenticity to this timeless masterpiece of consumer level portable generators. The panel with the green lights and the "data center" had me intrigued. Could it possibly function as advertised? Yes, it does. All the features i studied, zoomed in at, compared, were seemingly pie-in-the-sky offerings until i got the generator and see that they do all function excellently. I won't ALL CAPS or bold my customer review words to add emphasis but believe me this igen 4500dfc rocks! My first- out of the box- run lasted over 24 hours in "eco-mode" with a varying load @ .5 - 1 Kw. The unboxing itself was a nice experience with only a single issue of an underside mount nut which appears to have turned loose and wss at the bottom of the Styrofoam packaging. A good twist to all 4 -1/2" SAE mount nuts and it was good to go. Set up went smoothly. The sound is very quiet. The exhaust surprisingly hot. But low to the ground. And the igen 4500 has a CO2 sensor and shut-off capability which is another benefit to a fully loaded package. I mean i cannot think of another feature i could want. Except for maybe temperature or some fancy of my obsessive compulsion need to have information and instrumentation to measure critical data. This genny does most of it already. It tells run time left to no fuel, and accurately adjusts for load variation. It displays Kw output power. It has 2 fuel level indicators and i still cant fogure out how Westinghouse engineers designed the fuel level sensor or float. There is no indication in the "exploded views" in the accompanying user manual. The User Manual is even impressive. It exudes a level of concern for the users in terms of explaining every detail, every procedure (even for preparing the enclosed key fob to 'pair' with your igen). The manual is thick and contains a seemingly comprehensive parts list with their schematic and mechanical drawings. Step by step set up guides you to start up. You will need to be slightly dexterous with at least basic level of mechanical skill to get the oil in and to hook up and correctly install the battery for electric start. I hope i got mine right, its tricky and could use a redesign. On my setup battery install and oil fill took about equal time, too much time in my opinion at roughly 10-15 mins each task. And i made the mistake of overfilling the oil strait out due to the accompanying screw in funnel that you get which is good but... you'll see for yourself. Oil cleanup inside the generators frame can be tricky too so clean up for my tiny overflow took 2 sheets of paper towel and my cell phone on flashlight to see inside the "oil door" to wipe around all the extrusions and surfaces in there below and around the oil dipstick area. The oil door looks good with a layer of soundproofing material, foam egg carton, attached by adhesive. Lets see if this has longevity but now, i am nitpicking really. The oil door could be a bit larger for my liking, it is a lot of work to do in there for larger sized hands to be asked of, a lot of twisting and turning followed by wiping up in all over. I sensed to use care and caution so that i would not wind up getting rubs from the hatch edges of the oil door as the edge is plastic and formed to fit an edge rather than say a rolled extrusion softened for the more tender folk suck as myself. Otherwise be prepared to spend 30-40 mins setting up. Put of the box look is great with an accompanying smaller cardboard box containing a jug of oil (.6L), a battery tender charger plug and wire, a tool kit, a funnel, and maybe the user manual were in there too. The key fob comes hooked onto the manual pull start cord and the fob feels good in my hand made of a durable metal with a tiny carbuncle clip. On and off are the only two buttons on the fob. So in conclusion i say its probably the best generator out there today. I say i am impressed and i hope to remain impressed. They really have (whoever "they' are) convinced me that they care about producing a very good quality product and that with all their engineering they sincerely with for us to enjoy long lasting lifespan and happy healthy electrical generation for years to come.

I bought this item a month ago and literally gave the generator a run for its money. I follow maintenance as it states in the instructions and this thing just goes on. This generator was so good I decided to buy a second unit. The ability to run on gas or propane has proven super useful already. Love this Generator!

I previously purchased a pair of iGen2200’s to run in parallel for my RV. When I saw this with its dual fuel capability and remote start I sold the 2200’s to buy one. Works great right out of the box, after adding oil and connecting the battery of course, and it’s less than 1/2 the price of a comparable Honda.

Purchased for fifth wheel power. Set up straight forward. Read operation manual. Oil came with unit. Filled. Set fuel to gasoline. Propane set up next. Filled gasoline tank. Connected battery. Which had full charge. Turned on, hit starter button started first try. Shut down tried pull start again second pull started. Let it idle 10 min, put lite load from RV all ok. Will load 50% for couple hours then put full load. No doubt it will pull it . Nice and quiet, pull out handle works easy and unit pulls around easily. Has a parts list and diagram of the engine and gen. Parts available. # yr warranty. Will be putting a pvc pipe frame to support a tarp for weather protection. Will carry on a carrier outside on the rear bumper of the 5th wheel. Should last for years. Good little rig right price starts easy variable load will make it efficient the inverter will save the electronics we have, I would recommend the unit.

Easy to set up, working great so far. The multi function display is super convenient. Powers our travel trailer air conditioner without breaking a sweat. We had a 2200 W generator before, and we have a soft-start device on the A/C, so it would usually start, but it would not run well on really hot days. The iGen4500DFc has so much power and the dual-fuel option is fantastic to have. Electric & remote start work great.

I am getting older and wanted a smaller and quieter source of back up power than my 20 year generator which is now difficult to start and makes enough noise to wake up our entire block. For a replacement I wanted the following items. Enough wattage (this is plenty as a backup), portability/mobility (wheels make this simple/low profile), dual fuel flexibility, ease of starting, and not as loud as my outdated generator. This unit met all the criteria and was the perfect fit for my household. Starting it is a breeze and the low noise factor is great.

I have seen many reviews and compared this model with the Champion 4650. I decided to go with this one. It has not disappointed so far. Only downside was it took 3 weeks to get to my house do to the carrier held it for 2 weeks at the local facility. None of Westinghouse’s fault.

So far, it is just as advertised! Quiet and adequate to power most of my mobile home. My wife likes the remote feature. We also purchased a rain cover that can be used in the rain even while it is running! Our generator is always ready when we get a power loss!

I bought this to use with my travel trailer. I have tried to use other 2000 W generators tied together and the air conditioner comes on sometime and sometimes not. This generator runs at 25% with the AC on. What else can you ask for. I'm very happy with it.
