Outstanding build quality, great value-for-money

As an off-grid techie, I have bought several generators over the years and this one is both the most solidly built and the most full-featured unit I have yet found. The lack-of-rattle and smooth throttle control contribute to such quietude that my wife considers the low rumble a sleep aid--and I have no doubt these qualities will also contribute to a long, trouble-free lifespan. As someone who lives+works on high playa, I especially prize their attention to high-altitude performance upgrades for _both_ fuels and the remote+electronic start options; besting Honda, Yamaha, and Champion, Westinghouse earned a loyal customer with this one.

So much quieter than my old generator

I year ago I bought a conventional open generator, not realizing just how loud they are. It’s so loud I really can’t use it in my neighborhood without annoying everyone around. This Westinghouse inverter is so much quieter that it shouldn’t be an issue. The generator seems to be well made and has useful features like USB outlets and a running time meter. I plan to use it for emergency power to run refrigerators and a portable air conditioner since we regularly lose power in our area. I have great confidence that this generator is more than up to the task.

Less than One day

Directions/QuickStart was easy to follow and started up immediately. Remote start/stop, pull start and manual stop all worked as expected. Little funnel for oil was nice and sealed with no spillage. Appreciate that little detail. Not a long use review but out of the box I’m impressed.

Impressive unit with some tight spaces

My unit shipped very clean, it was easy to setup. I did need to reseat the battery and it's strap holding it in and to be fair the oil area is tight and a little hard to maneuver but the procedures were simple. The unit started right up on propane. I don't yet know if it will have any issues but so far so good.

Good inventer Genrator so far.

First generator I bought. It was delivered 2 days earlier than promised. After checking if there were any damage, none. Only one thing I recommend is don't hang the remote control key at the start pulling string, it make me thought the key was missing when I check all the accessories in the accessory box. Fill in the oil, hooking up the battery, connect the propane tank. Following the starting steps, the generator run at the first pushing start button. Checking all the displays at the LED data center, It did not show the remaining run time(F), fuel level(L) because I use propane. It showed Voltage moving between the range of 125V to 120 V when I plug in one medium refrigerator and one small freezer. But the LED data center did not show the power output, it showed 0 KW all the running time (with or without the plugging the appliances) I don't know why (that is why I rate 4 stars). After running 3 hours, I stopped the generator by using the remote control. 20 minutes later, I use the remote key started the unit again ,It worked right away (good). The noise was OK from 67Db to 69Db at 10 feet away and 52Db to 57Db when I was inside the house with the patio door open(about 20 feet away). So, so far so good except the power level display(did not show the output KW). I will try to rerun it 20 days later to see how it happen. I recommended it is worth a try by yourself. If you see it is good for your needs, keep it. If it does not satisfy, you have option to return it (30 days).

Perfect

I have been looking and wanting this generator for camping for a little over a year. I had to wait for it to come back into production. In that time I looked at every other brand that would fit my needs/wants. They all were lacking in quality and features that I found in this one. I've only had is a short time but it performs just as promise. Started first time out of the box after adding oil and hooking up the propane. I look forward to many years of use.

Highly Recommend

After a late spring extended power outage in Michigan I had my house rigged for an external generator/invertor for power. Knowing nothing myself about them I asked my electrician what he recommended for me and this was his one and only choice for my situation. Plenty of power, long run time, dual fuel option, and a great price for one very nice looking unit.

So far, much better than Predator 3500

I only have a few hours on my iGen4500DF, but so far it is proving to be much better than the Predator 3500 that I had before. I live at 5,000' elevation, and I highly reccomend purchasing the high altitude carb kit if you live this high or higher. So far mine runs smooth and powers our travel trailer (only a 13,000 btu AC) without any issues. The build quality is nice as well as the feature set, however, there is room for improvement. The digital readout won't let me select a reading. It only cycles through the pre added options. Also, the fuel reading is a little silly as it gives you a reading in liters. For some that might be a bonus, for myself, I would have much prefered gallons. Overall, it seems to be a solid unit and I would purchase it again.

Highly recommended (at this time)

I nearly purchased a competing inverter generator but chose this unit because it has: a) Much higher power output for the same cost; b) dual fuel -- VERY useful!; and c) Positive reviews including from my brother-in-law. I've only tested it so far (for about 30 minutes on about 2000 watt load) but it worked flawlessly on both fuel types. If it continues to function this way in the future, I will be a VERY pleased owner. (I wish I was as satisfied with the review webpage: its requirements for no ad blocking and no popups caused me lost time to figure out how to disable these security measures. Not cool...)

Great features!

We needed a generator for our new travel trailer and this one checked so many of the boxes! Many of our friends have the other well-known brand, but we really liked the features on this generator, especially the power, dual-fuel feature and that it's quiet. And the blue color matches the trim on our trailer!
