SO FAR GREAT

Bought to run all my Rv needs. So far no issues. I did a lot of research and decided on this due to the dual fuel, Price range and features. This also comes with a tool kit for the Inverter and a nice screw in Oil fill that helps keep the mess down. The included battery charger is nice for the unit to have.

so far so good

Put oil in, got the battery in, gasoline-instructions were pretty good. Started on the first pull. Did remote start, electric start, and pull cord. all worked flawlessly. Plugged rv into it and ran for a few minutes and everything worked like it should. Will put it to the test next weekend. If everything works like it has so far I'll be even a happier camper than I am now. Haven't tried propane yet, but really have no concern about whether or not it will work on that. Very satisfied so far.

Works great, well packed, very quiet

I bought this specifically for the propane operation and it works great. Started right up out of the box after adding oil and hooking up included regulator and hose. Runs smoothly. Never have to poison it with gasoline if you don't want to! Included custom funnel and battery charger are nice perks.

just what the doc orderedjust

just received this last night unboxed and put oil in. this morning i put gasoline in it, it took a few tries for it to start but thats normal for new gas engines fuel needs to get to the carb. after letting it run for a couple of minutes i put a load on it no problem at all best part is how quiet it is i have other generators and the will wake up the neighborhood not this one so far so good hope it lasts a long time

Wow!

This was the easiest new equipment start up ever. Opened the box, took it out. Hooked up the battery per the very good instructions, and added the oil. Connected it to the propane tank and pushed the start button on the remote FOB. It started right up on the first try. Wow this was so easy. I did a lot of research and comparing, read hundreds of reviews. This was a great decision. I will be using this for my RV and for power outages at home. I purchased a cargo carrier with a ramp, so I can roll this generator on to it, never having to lift it. The extending handle on this generator makes it VERY easy.

My First Generator

Been looking for a generator to use as a backup to power my home (partially) and I found it... the iGEN4500DF. Chose the DF because it uses dual fuel and I wanted to use propane. I have not used it a lot but my first impressions where astounding. It has everything I need and has great controls. Thank you Westinghouse for creating this wonderful device for me.

Great Value for the Features

Unit arrived quickly and with no physical damage. Started right up on propane, but kept surging on idle. Contacted customer service and they are sending a new carburetor for me to replace, if I feel handy enough. If not, they offered for me to take it to a authorized shop. I will wait and see what is involved. Part is on its way. If it wasn't for the carburetor issue, I would give 5 stars. Really meets my needs.

Great Product

Love this product line. I bought an iGen2200 couple years ago for tent camping and portable power around my property. Bought a Travel Trailer last year so purchased the iGen5000 to power my 30amp camper and it does everything I need it to. One of the quieter units in the campground as well

IG4500DFC

decided to purchase the Westinghouse iGen4500DF inverter generator. My first impression upon receipt was the packaging it came in. Though the box was a bit roughed up due to shipping, none of the contents were damaged. The box is made of sturdy cardboard and the styrofoam packing is of good quality - not the usual flimsy stuff that comes from China. The company did it's job to ensure it's product gets to the customer in good shape. After unboxing and reading the user manual, I added oil, connected the battery and added gasoline. I only use premium gasoline without ethanol for all my small engines. Note that a handy oil funnel comes with the unit along with oil and enough small tools to perform the usual maintenance tasks like changing the spark plug or air cleaner. I thought this was a very nice touch. Careful when adding the oil, it can be easily overfilled. Just go slow and check the level often as you fill. I then double-checked the startup procedure, and pressed the start button. It started on the first try. I let it run for a few minutes and shut it down. I then tried the remote start. Again, it started on the first try. I ran the unit on and off for the next hour just playing with it and checking things over. So far, it has started on the first try every time no matter which method I used. I'll take it as a very good sign. The generator is made with good quality plastics and metal. Nothing that I have touched or handled feels cheap or flimsy. The telescoping handle works well and is sturdy. I was able to extend the handle and move the unit with one arm while in the garage - just to see if I could. The unit rolls well and is easy to maneuver; however, I do not expect this to be the case while in the woods, but I think I'll be able to place it where I want it without too much trouble. It is also nice to know that If the generator is connected to a propane tank, you can switch from using gasoline to propane on the fly and vice versa. I like this flexibility! This generator is very similar to the Cummins Onan P4500DF Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator.

Great Buy but needed repair out of the box!

This is a great product for a reasonable price compared to other brands. But the customer should not have to immediately tear the product apart to repair the choke. This is a common problem...so common there are videos of the repair online everywhere. The cable connecting the choke to the control board was not hooked up.
