iGen4500DF nice features

Purchased this generator as a second backup generator for home and rv use due to its dual fuel capabilities. We were at a campground this past weekend when a storm shut off all power to the campground for approximately four hours. I was able to pull out the iGen 4500DF and run it for a short time, as a few others utilized their inverter generators. Made a hot and humid day in the south (90degrees+) no issue. This inverter generator was quite and handles the 30amp load (13.5k BTU air conditioner) without issue. Additional features (remove,dual fuel, fuel shut off valve) are a nice addition. One additional note, the generator is about 100 lb dry weight so it takes a little effort to lift and move around if removing from an elevated storage area.

Researched many inverter generators

After all the comparisons with all brands I decided on this one, mainly because of its high ratings and features that others don't offer. I especially wanted the dual fuel feature. After running it today for break in on gas and LP I see why the ratings are so high, believe them when they say this thing is quiet! There's no difference between the gas or LP when it's running. just smooth and quiet. I would buy this brand again if I decide on a bigger one.

Duel Fuel powerful

I ordered this in august. My intention was to power my grand design imagine 2600RB.(travel trailer) days before our Labor Day camping trip we lost power at our home. I fired up the igen4500DF and was able to easily run my refrigerator, saving all our food. Since, I've had my camper connected and with the A/C unit running, the refrigerator and lights it's only drawing 50% of the units capability. I love that it runs on propane. I'm 50 in ok shape and can lift the unit into the back of my truck. I couldn't be happier, great engineering Westinghouse !

I love the control panel, easy to understand.

I bought this online 11 days ago and just received it. I am excited with the DF feature, wheels already installed for easy maneuverability. I ran it today without a load. It started with the remote start the very first time and purrs like a kitten.

Suprise & Delight

I was looking for another brand, when I saw this iGen 4500 that my brother purchased. It had more features, more power, inverter and still quiet. And a great price. I purchased the iGen 4500 DF. As I liked the idea of dual fuel options. Broke in the generator at home. And then went boon docking for 8 days at 10,000 feet up. It ran the heater at night and in the morning. Then it ran the AC in the afternoons. From low power needs to high power needs it was great. Loved the remote, as we did not have to go our when we went to bed. And the same in the morning, pushed the on remote and it fired right up. The wife and I are happy campers!

So far, so good

Had this for around a month and a half and it's working well so far. Initially, it would take a few tries to start, but after a few hours, it will start on first attempt. I do wish that it would maintain output a bit longer before idling down. I was using a welder with it, and it would bog the welder down for a second until it throttled up. The handle rattles a tiny bit as well, but not too bad.

Ample power & long runtime

I bought this generator prior to Hurricane Beryl and am glad I did. When the power went out, we had plenty of capacity to power a refrigerator, tv, router and a handful of fans. The generator is fuel-efficient and ran for quite some time (gasoline) - I like the ability to power the generator with propane as well.

Love This Generator!

After months of reviewing just about every inverter generator on the market, I recently purchased the iGen4500DF and I couldn't be more pleased. I wanted a quiet inverter type to power my 3600 watt travel trailer when dry camping. Unit is powerful, quiet, efficient and small enough to fit perfectly under my tonneau conver on my Silverado. At roughly 100lbs, it's not exactly light weight, but I can manage to load and unload it on the bed of my pickup without assistance. This is heavier than the smaller inverters that you can one arm, but for a unit that delivers 4500 peak watts, the extra weight and size is worth it. Out of the box, generator started right up using all 3 starting methods: remote start, electric push button, and pull cord. Generator is able to run my 13,500 BTU A/C on my travel trailer and all appliances simultaneously, even in eco mode. One of the selling points for me was the electric start and remote start, which is rarely found on comparable models. Set up and initial run was a breeze after connecting the battery, adding the included oil, and adding fuel source. I haven't used gasoline to run it as I only plan to run generator from propane, but having the option to use both is a great feature. All in all, I'm super satisfied with this generator. It's quiet, reliable, and efficient. If you are on the fence about which model to purchase, the iGen4500DF is a winning choice.

Tons of options, but not sure on the quality yet!

Seems really nice, it is louder than I expected. According to the DB rating on the website it should not be any louder than Honda 2200 inverter. But it is definitely louder. The choke was manually on so it ran rich till I figured that out. After turning the manual choke off it would not start on its own. The electric choke was apparently unhooked out of the control board. (Note picture) I called customer service on a Sunday morning and they answered the phone so I'm really impressed with that! Told me what the issue more than likely was and they were correct. Now it starts great. The air filter wasn't seated properly so it was going to suck dirt. Luckily the manual choke was on so while I was addressing that issue I had the side cover off I decided to look at the air filter to see how quality it looked. Overall it seems really nice. I haven't really used it yet so time will tell! Price was reasonable compared to the Honda, but the quality isn't there. More options though, if it came down to it I'd still buy the Westinghouse again. Time will tell!

Great generator not quite fully assembled.

We purchased our iGen4500DF several months ago for backup power on our motorhome. We finally have had a chance to use it, and first use was not sp special. It started but ran rough. I stopped and reviewed the issue on the internet, and found many are shipped without the wire connection to the auto-choke control attached. This makes the unit run rough. I had to remove 3 out of 4 side panels, and sure enough, my choke wire coupler was dangling there, not connected. I connected it, reassembled the covers, and tried again. This time it cleared up and ran very smooth. I am assuming this is all I will have to do, but my thinking is I should NOT have to disassemble a new product to get it running! Come on Westinghouse! Many people complain of this. Get it right when you build it!
