Quiet!

I purchased 2 weeks ago for my camp trailer with 30 amp plug. Worked very well. Using propane, it ran at just over 25% using the air conditioner. We haul the 24' trailer with a Yukon and did not want to haul gasoline in the trailer or the Yukon since if there was a spill the smell would penetrate and not go away. we are sooo pleased at the quiet use of the IGen4500DF Thanks

Works as advertised so far, did have damage

The generator works as advertised so far. It is handy to be able to use either gasoline or propane to run this generator. It is very quiet, and appears to be powerful enough to power my new RV, although I haven’t been able to verify that just yet. The remote start is also a very nice feature. The unit did come with a crack in the housing case near the pull handle. This is only a cosmetic issue and doesn’t appear to affect the functionality of the unit. There was no damage to the original packaging, so this unit was shipped from the factory with this issue. Unfortunately, I didn’t discover the issue until it was too late, so now I’m stuck with it. At least the damage is only cosmetic at this point.

GREAT Inverter and does ity all

VERY pleased with this unit. It is powerful, set up very well with the battery, fuel and oil access. The remote start feature will be great when using the unit with the travel trailer and not having to go outside to start. Seems to be high quality, provides a lot of information on the control panel and being dual fuel makes it even more valuable when gas isn't as readily available, but propane is.

Right size. Right power.

I had mounted a 3400 watt unit on the back hitch rack of my 30 amp 5th wheel and it struggled to keep up. This is the perfect size to replace it. Gives me all the watts I need and then some. Forget the “quick getting started sheet”, it shows the dip stick on the wrong side and you’ll take the engine access cover when you don’t have to.

So Far So Good

I just received the iGen4500DF. It looks good, started right up, runs like it should, very quiet as advertised, and produces electricity. Absolutely no complaints other than it kind of sputters on start up more than I would expect. So far completely satisfied. I would give it 5 stars in a follow up review six or so months down the road and it continues to do what it is intended to do.

Super Quiet

This is my 3rd generator but my first inverter. I can't get over how quiet it is. My wife and I were standing right next to it when I started it for the first time and were able to talk to each other as if it wasn't even on. We can't wait to take it cross country with our new RV.

Very quiet!

Bought this for our RV. Didn’t want to disturb our neighbors. Inverter only revs up when you use an appliance. We plug into the 30 amp outlet and we’re all set for football games on tv. We’ve also been using it with our power tools and it’s perfect. We load it onto the back of our pickup truck and take it into the woods where we’re working on building a bridge. Extremely happy with our purchase!

Quiet and Full Featured Power

I bought the Westinghouse iGen4500DF for camping and portable power when needed. The box bottom had broken open on delivery but the generator was undamaged. The instructions are easy to understand and the controls are easy to use. The fit and finish is high quality, although I did have two minor issues. The tabs that hold the rubber splash guard around the fuel filler cap were not clicked into place (easy fix as I just pushed them in). Also, the propane hose connector is slightly off center, making it a little difficult to connect the propane hose because the hose fitting binds against the grommet. This is very minor and in no way detracts from the value or usefulness of the generator. After connecting the battery, filling with oil and connecting the propane; the generator started right up! Idle was rough for a little while but then smoothed out. We've only ran the generator for a couple hours but it looks like a winner! It is quiet and everything works great. I especially like the remote start. The generator had no trouble running a small air compressor, router and miter saw at the same time. I've not ran it on gasoline yet but I don't see why it wouldn't run just as well as it does on propane. I am very satisfied with the iGen4500DF and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, full featured generator in its size range.

Quiet

Unpacked it, and it started right up on LPG. Load tested it with a small space heater, and everything works as it should. Pretty quiet for such a large machine. Onboard storage for the included accessories would be helpful - I can see them being misplaced over time.

Easy setup and usage

Bought earlier this year and was delivered right to my door. Easy set up instructions, add oil as directed, hook up battery, choose fuel and it fired right up. I did a break in period and was surprised how easy it was to change the oil. Westinghouse has a rubber grommet plug on the bottom, let it drain and topped back off, now I'm ready for boon docking and power outages. Did have to play with the idler screw a bit when running on propane, but even that was easy.
