Surprising Quiet! Wow!

Once I got it set up, it started right away, and wow was I surprised how quiet it was. My wife and I were able to talk right next to it without raising our voice to hear each other. My only challenges I had were due to my bigger hands. The opening for the oil was tough to work with due to the smaller opening and my big hands. It would be helpful if that opening was made bigger. Also don't pour the entire bottle of oil in. I did according to the directions and although the entire bottle did go in without overflowing, there was too much added and I had to remove some. Second thing is to tighten the LP connection on the unit before connecting the hose to it. I didn't, and when I went to disconnect it, it spun and would not come off. After a bit I was able to get some needle nose pliers to hold the connector and take the hose off. Then tighten down the connector on the generator with the open ended tool they provide. All in all really impressed with the product and looking forward to using it throughout the summer. Being duel fuel is a great bonus!

VERY QUIET

I bought this for emergency power if / when the Grid power fails. I calculated this would power all of the appliances in the house that I would like to have. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is. It is easy to move with the attached handle and I especially like that it runs on propane as well as gas.

Excellent, quiet inverter generator

Great experience thus far, from packaging, to instructions, ease of use, and performance. Performed the initial setup, switched it on, pressed the start button, and it was purring along in about 3 seconds. Tested unit with multiple appliances, and performed like a champ. Still working on break-in period, but a pleasure thus far. Looking forward to installing as power fail-over for our home.

Max Power

This lil generator has extremely clean power for my electronics. Is great on fuel and has plenty of power. This is my second one, I loved the first so much I bought another along with parallel cable for MAX POWER. If you on the fence about getting one get off and purchase one now before our grid fails.

DOA

Would not start or run properly out of the box. As others have mentioned, the choke was defective. The small connector controlling the stepper motor was disconnected from the circuit board inside the unit. Required removing front, rear, and left side plastic panels to access circuit board (bottom left front of case) and dislodged connector. 2 hours work. Apparently a common issue. Manufacturer should secure connectors better. Ran fine after the fix but louder than expected.

Great price for the features and power level

I bought this generator to run my travel trailer while boon docking. The smaller generators (2200 Watt) would not run my air conditioner. With this model I can run anything I want like the air conditioner and the microwave and not worry about having enough power. The generator is very quiet and the dual fuel feature is very convenient.

Brilliant Design

Received this iGen4500DF Generator today. I used the propane fuel option and it started right up. It seems to work perfectly. I have not yet tried it with gasoline, but I do not anticipate any issues. Thanks Westinghouse for a well thought out product.

Works Great!

New Generator works great right out of the box. Easy set-up. Even though instructions say to fill the oil tank with provided bottle, watch out for small over pour. No problem running our Travel Trailer AC unit on either propane or gas. Need to put more hours on it, but so far its Awesome!

DISCONNECTED choke wire

I picked up the generator from the supply store and noticed that it was running rough. So I checked the auto choke wire issue I found on YouTube. I pulled a bunch of screws off and reconnected the little wire to the back of the control panel and it works fine now. I love the duel fuel option and am very happy with the generator. It will be powering my entire house along with the reliance controls interface box which is wired into the panel of the house.

Versatile Generator

Only ran it once, very quiet and fuel efficient. Provides sufficient power when needed, and cuts back to a slow idle when power requirements are low. Floating neutral, perfect for a code compliant non separately derived connection without modification.
