Great but late

This unit was bought from a box stores site and delivery was supposed to be 5 days later. It ended up taking 13 days, but thats not on Westhinghouse and instead the shipping company's fault. Since arriving, we have been doing the break in period and its working great. We are going off grid for 8 days next week and that will be the true test, but if how its worked so far is any indication, it will be a flawless trip.

Home Power Backup Insurance

We bought the iGen4500 DF to provide backup power for our all electric home when we have power outages, which we seem to be having more often. This generator easily provides power for our 2 refrigerators and a freezer giving us the peace of mind that we won't loose our food. It also provides enough spare power to run many of our other needs to sustain living in our house after a storm or other outages. We got the Dual Fuel model as we also have propane tanks just in case there are gasoline shortages.

Quiet little powerhouse

We bought this because my in-laws have one and love it. They live at low elevation and we weren’t sure how it’s do at 8000’ plus, but this thing is awesome. Super quiet and we can barely hear it when inside our trailer and it runs everything at once. The remote start is fantastic for making coffee in the cold mornings!

Easy to start!

I bought this because we often have power outages due to weather. After the last outage three weeks ago I started looking for better options compared to my pull start generator with low wats. This generator seems to fit my needs as it has good fuel efficiency, easy to start and quiet for the amount of power it provides.

Best Generater ever

I bought this last november because we seem to loose our power every time a storm comes through. My wife raises chickens. A big part of that is running incubaters to hatch chicken eggs. The eggs must be kept at precise temperatures and humidity for a successfull hatch. When the powe goes out, the baby chickens are lost. Since we have gotten the generator, we have not lost a single chicken because of power falure. Considering buying another one.

In a class by itself

This generator has features and power output better and higher than any other in its class. The problem is that if u get one where everything works as it should, you're lucky. My first one, the remote didn't work, the start stop button didn't work. I was only able to get it started only by the pull starter. Once i got it started the choke wouldn't shut off. Retuned that one and ordered another. On the second, the remote start would work, but using the remote stop would shut it down where it would immediately restart. And it only operates in economy mode, the switch has no effect. So,I pulled all the panels off and disconnected and reconnected every connector I could find. That fixed the remote stop but I still cannot take it out of economy mode. I can live with that until I call their support. Bummer they're out of covers for the bonus gift. So, 5 stars for features and 3 stars for them having a hard time delivering one without problems.

So far so good

We purchased this recently to swap out our Champion generator, as this had nearly double the power. It's about as quiet as the Champion, and we love that it can hold 3.5 Gallons of gas as well. The push start and fob is a nice bonus, but the LED panel is a gamechanger as it helps you know the exact amount of time it's been running which makes maintenance easier. So far so good.

All the Right Features!

The size if perfect to run both my RV and use for back up power at the house during a power outage. The remote start was the main feature I was looking for while searching for the right generator. Fuel efficiency, quite operation and safe for sensitive electronics are a huge bonus one gets with an inverter generator. Westinghouse got it right!

Wonderful features making use so easy!!

I bought this generator for our camping trips. I love the remote start fob and the fact it shows me how much gas has been used. It was simple to set up and use. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family. I can't wait to try it out on our TT this summer.

Enough Power & Quiet

Bought it for our 26ft RV for a trip with a bunch of friends. Place we were staying didn't have any hookups so we needed something. Generator had enough power to run everything we needed and still was running between 50%-75% capacity. What we really liked is how quiet it was compared to other generators others had.
